As an earth friendly, organic Mother you want only the best for your little ones, and with home remedies that incorporate eco-friendly essential oils into your daily routines you can actually eliminate the need to have medical relief for upset stomachs. Many people don’t realize that peppermint can relieve stomach aches and constipation.
