Growing up, I was very natural about how I liked to heal myself. I hated taking antibiotics and thought using God's creation to heal myself was cool. However, after having our first son, I was doing everything mainstream with him. Not because I wanted to, but because it's the way everyone does. Now, after two more little boys, we're making the switch from petrol products to God's creation. We've been called "crunchy." Welcome to Making the Switch: On Becoming Crunchy

A Rash of Crunchiness
What about the diaper rash? Let me tell you that, since we've used cloth, we experience seldom diaper rashes with DS3. However, I started researching what I can use for cloth diapers just in case. I'd heard one can't just use the over-the-counter stuff for cloth diapers. I found out about CJ's BUTTer and had intended on going to get some. You can use it for cloth without using those rice paper protector things (which I never bought because who wants paper in your crack?). On one trip to the local diaper/birthy store Michael had made for me had rendered a sample enclosed in the bag. SCORE! It was Lavendar and Tea Tree Oil (TTO) blend. It works so marvelously well for the diaper rash we went and purchased a 12 oz. tub of it for $19.00. I decided we'd refill the sample for the diaper rash cream and we'd use the rest for lotion since all the boys have eczema and so does Michael. Within 4-6 weeks, Michael's eczema was almost nonexistent. Diaper rashes can't even begin to compete with CJs. What's better? It's all natural! I went back and purchased myself a little sample of the Mango CJs just for my lips and DS2's lips (he was picking his lips causing deep cracks). My lips are moisturized all day long and DS2's lips healed within one week!
