5 Natural Remedies Every Christian Mom Should Know (Rooted in God’s Design for Healing)
Sis, have you considered that whenever your child gets sick, you have what it takes within you to help them heal and be well?
I’m not a medical professional—just a faith-filled mama sharing what’s worked for my family. Always do your own research and consult a trusted healthcare provider before trying any new remedy, especially for your little ones. I believe God gives us wisdom through both His creation and wise counsel.
As a mom, my heart is always to do what’s best for my family—to keep them strong, healthy, and whole. As a daughter of the King, I also believe that God, in His infinite wisdom, has already placed so many healing tools in the world around us. He is Jehovah Rapha—our Healer—and His provision for wellness often begins right in nature.
If you’ve been leaning toward cleaner living and are curious about simple, God-given ways to support your family’s health, here are five natural remedies every Christian mom should know—each pointing us back to the beauty of His creation.

1. Raw Honey – God’s Golden Medicine
Raw, local honey is so much more than a sweetener. It’s packed with antibacterial properties, enzymes, and antioxidants. It soothes sore throats, boosts immunity, and can even help with seasonal allergies when sourced locally. Do not give honey to little ones under the age of one.
🌿 Biblical tie-in: Proverbs 24:13 says, “My son, eat honey, for it is good…” God’s Word reminds us that honey is delicious and beneficial for our bodies.

2. Herbal Teas – Sipping on God’s Garden
Chamomile for calm. Peppermint for digestion. Ginger for inflammation. Herbal teas gently support the body and bring peace to a busy day.
🌿 Spiritual reflection: Just as these herbs bring calm to the body, so does God quiet our souls. He has designed creation to minister to both our bodies and spirits.

3. Epsom Salt Baths – A God-Given Detox
A simple soak in Epsom salts can draw out toxins, relieve stress, ease sore muscles, and improve sleep. Magnesium is vital for many body functions, and this method is one of the most relaxing ways to restore it.
🌿 Devotional thought: God cares about our rest. He created rhythms of sabbath and stillness; even in a warm bath, we’re invited to pause and be renewed.

4. Coconut Oil – A Natural Healer in Your Kitchen
Coconut oil has antimicrobial, antifungal, moisturizing, and nourishing properties. Whether treating dry skin, oil-pulling for oral health, or soothing diaper rash, this simple oil is a go-to.
🌿 Scripture reminder: God provides “every plant yielding seed…for food” (Genesis 1:29)—and many of these plants bless us beyond the kitchen table.

5. Essential Oils – Aromas from Heaven’s Pharmacy
Lavender for sleep. Frankincense for peace and skin. Tea tree for cleansing. Essential oils are like God’s concentrated gifts, bottled up for our good. When used wisely, they help us stay well and point us back to the intricate design of creation.
🌿 Faith connection: In Exodus, frankincense and myrrh were used in worship. These oils heal physically and invite us into sacred, sensory worship of our Creator.
Final Thoughts:
When we care for our families using what God has already provided, we walk in faith, wisdom, and stewardship. These natural remedies aren't new—they’re ancient tools that remind us how intimately God is involved in every detail of our lives, including our health.
So, Mama, trust that He’s equipped you. Lean into His creation. And always remember that true healing begins with Him.
