Review

Mommy's ER is a unique combination of Eastern medicine, Western sensibilities, and good-old fashioned common sense. Austin mom Jennifer Crain, a licensed acupuncturist and former public health researcher and virologist, created the DVDs. Mommy's ER was born out of personal experience, says Crain. When my son was one, he had an ear infection he just couldn't shake. After three unsuccessful attempts with antibiotics, I drew from my knowledge of Chinese medicine. He hasn't had ear trouble since. Crain specializes in treating complicated children's health conditions by using acupressure, Japanese-style acupuncture and nutritional healing. She holds a Masters Degree in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin. --PR Newswire

Product Description

It's 3 am, your child has a fever, and that dose of ibuprofen hasn't kicked in yet. You wish there was something safe and simple you could do to make her feel better, but what? Mommy's ER is a 3-part DVD library of safe, simple, natural remedies parents can use to offer relief at any time. Each DVD is packed with easy-to-understand segments and demos that educate users on everything from how to teach yourself (and your child!) simple acupressure treatments, nutritional information even facts on the healing powers of herbs. The first DVD focuses on acute conditions, such as fever or sore throat. The second reviews chronic conditions, such as ear infections and allergies. The third DVD examines ways to support overall health and well-being. The best part? All of the treatments can be used alone or in conjunction with a pediatrician's recommendations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full of great tips and advice, November 21, 2008

I found Jennifer's advice and tips very clear and helpful...from treating simple colds to everyday maintenance. The massage techniques were especially helpful in treating my daughter's persistent cold and my allergies. My husband and I have spent the last five years cleansing ourselves of unnecessary medicines and chemicals. It's wonderful to have such a great resource available to treat my girls as well as ourselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars a real find for moms, October 16, 2008

By	D. Keegan (chatham, nj) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD series is awesome. It's so comprehensive and covers the health issues that are major concerns for moms. I just wish it was available to me when I had my first child five years ago and was rushing to the pediatrician every five minutes for minor things. I have had great success with the massage techniques and dietary recommendations for my daughter's constipation. I have also used the spinal rolling and some of the acupressure techniques for my son who is easily overstimulated. I have already recommended this to a friend whose son has ezcema and asthma. She was so excited to see there's something other than steroids that can help her when he is having problems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential tool for home health care, October 15, 2008

By	Lisa Buenaventura Rice (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

For any parents hoping to learn how to keep their children healthy without the constant use of antibiotics and over-the-counter medications, Mommy's ER is for you. What parent doesn't feel confused and guilty running to the pharmacy each time your child gets a fever, cough, runny nose or bellyache? Mommy's ER empowers you to treat many common, non-life-threatening ailments without the use of drugs or an unnecessary trip to the pediatrician. And you probably have many of these remedies in your pantry (like prunes, ginger, rice) and don't even know it! - not to mention a loving mother's own two hands!

Mommy's ER was indispensable to me when I couldn't get to the bottom of my 4 year old son's recurrent cough and runny nose. More importantly, the DVDs taught me how to prevent these problems in the future. I especially appreciate the dietary recommendations and tips on how to keep the home environment healthy.

Thank you Jennifer Crain for providing such a valuable tool to have under my sleeve at the beginning of each school year!
