Afternoon all you Wonderful People.

I am sure we are all aware of the needed safety precautions regarding the Covid 19 virus.

However i'm also aware you may not be able to purchase any hand sanitiser, as I would say everywhere is sold out by now!!

So find attached natural recipe for making your own. I am assured this is as good if not better than shop bought, but use your own free will and decision if you wish to use information.

With that said the ingredients are as follows:

-One half cup of Aloe Vera juice (for spray recipe) not the after sun gel
-Quarter Cup of Witch Hazel (70/90%vodka)
-Then add 10-20 Drops of Anti-Bacterial Essentials Tea Tree

You can add the aroma of orange or lavender drops or one of your own favourites to make it smell nicer.

Mix or shake all together and you have your sanitiser.

Hope this helps, be safe out there :)

Hi everyone.As you know I do a number of Therapies at my practice, from play therapy, theraplay to Medical Play Specialist. Using play I work with children/parents to elevate their fears around medical procedures that they may have to have. It was one of my clients parents who gave me this information that I felt I really needed to share with you's. When I last checked there where still some tickets available and they are free. Enjoy
