| Natural Hand or Baby Wipes | 20-24 squares of strong paper towels -- I like to use either Viva, Bounty, or the Kleenex Dinner Napkins. Separate and stack each of the paper towel squares from the roll; cut each square in half. Place the rectangles in front of you vertically. Fold each rectangle into thirds as if you were folding a business letter. Now fold each in half as if you were closing a book. (You can also cut the paper towel roll in half, remove the cardboard, soak in the tall tupperware, and use that way) Additions: Calendula infused oil (sweet almond, sunflower) soothes skin and reduces inflammation -- definitely use if there is a rash. Replace 1/4 cup of the witch hazel hydrosol. Aloe: If you don't have glycerin, add aloe vera. Healing and relieves burn and rash. Niaouli EO: Helps to prevent or treat yeast infections. Very effective fungicide, antibacterial and antiseptic. St. John's Wort Oil: Helps promote healing and has anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. Add a few tbsp. to liquid portion when desired.
