We all know when our kids are sick but they don't always let on when they have ongoing ailments, especially teenagers. That is another benefit of connecting with your teens. The more you talk with each other, the more you can learn about how they are feeling and discover that they have an ailment which you might be able to help them with. And there are natural health and healing products to do just that.

SinuSense
Sinus problems plague people of all ages. I've been taking medicine my entire life for it and I know that isn't good. There are natural, holistic ways to help your sinuses. For years, many people have used the neti pot, a device for irrigating the nasal passages. This is a good device, however there were many flaws. Waterpik, the maker of the SinuSense products, took the idea of the neti pot and improved upon it with four great products:

• Neti Pot - The SinuSense Neti Pot looks just like the original neti pot, however the cover, larger handle and gravity-fed flow provide the gentlest sinus cleansing available. For those that still want the old fashioned look of a neti pot.
• Neti Bottle - Similar to the pot with a design that provides a more comfortable grip.
• Squeeze Bottle - Instead of pouring the water, you can now just squeeze it and therefore completely customize the flow of the water yourself.
• Water Pulsator - This is the coolest one, and my favorite. A battery operated device, it creates a gentle pulsating water flow to clean sinuses while massaging and moisturizing the sinus passages.

Other benefits over the old fashioned neti pots include:

• The soft-seal nozzle - extremely comfortable
• One way flow control valve - prevents back flow
• Saline packs - pre-measured, easy open, easy pour, contains soothing saline formula with eucalyptus oil and aloe vera extract.

Whether family members have chronic sinus problems like me, or just a cold, SinuSense products are the perfect way to find relief and help you breathe better. If you do have chronic sinus problems they must be used regularly to work, but the benefits will be worth it. SinuSense products sell for $14.99 each, except for the battery operated Pulsator which is $39.99. There are currently coupons and promotions on the SinuSense website.

Topricin
Topricin is a natural pain relief and healing cream. It is used by doctors and in hospitals across the country. It relieves pain by bringing together 11 homeopathic medicines that work synergistically to relieve pain associated with a wide range of ailments and injuries. Rather than masking pains, as many other OTC remedies do, Topricin stimulates the body's natural healing process.

Topricin sells three products (you can read much more about each area by clicking on the link):

• Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream - for adult injuries and pains
• Topricin Junior - Specially formulate for children's injuries
• Topricin Foot Therapy Cream - For foot and ankle pain

Topricin is the perfect natural pain relief medicine for your family. Do your kids participate in sports? Do they get many bumps bangs and bruises? Moms, do your fit ache after wearing high heels? Dads, are you still trying to act like you are in your twenties, even though your body won't go along with you? If you said yes to any of these, keep some topricin in your medicine cabinet, your first aid kit and your purse. You won't be sorry.

Conclusion
Not all medicine or healing devices have to contain chemicals or have side effects. There are many natural healing and healthy products that you can treat your family's ailments with. You just have to find them. I hope that introducing you to Waterpik's SinuSense and Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Creme was helpful to you. Do you plan on purchasing either of these for your family?
