<\/p>\n
The content creator, who is known as @natural_minded_mama, went viral after demonstrating how she cared for her sick children without traditional medicine<\/p>\n
Comunale began by filling an oil diffuser with an ‘immunity blend’ and letting it run in Kiley’s bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She then painted iodine on her daughter’s neck and glands in an attempt to ease her sore throat before giving her a tube of Boiron Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic flu medicine.<\/p>\n
‘Boiron for the win. Don’t ask me [how] to pronounce this,’ she said of the product.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The mom continued her treatment by massaging a chest rub onto her daughter’s skin ‘to help her breathe’ \u2014 but she wasn’t even close to being done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘To pull out toxins, I’m going to place sliced potatoes on the bottom of her feet and keep them secure with a sock,’ she explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/span>Next, I place a cold pack in a sock and put that on her head to make her feel better. She has a low-grade fever, and it just gives her a little bit more comfort.’<\/p>\n Finally, Comunale rubbed oil of oregano into her daughter’s ear for her earache.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘Kiley, honest feedback. After one hour, how do you feel?’ she asked her daughter, who gave her the middle finger in response.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m feeling better after only 24 hours and I know she will too! I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. Please do for your family, what feels right for you. #sorethroatremedy #sorethroathack #sorethroatrelief #wellbeingmatters #naturalmindedmama #healthandwellness #holisticwellness #selfcare #momlife #mindbodyspirit #healthcare #fyp #iodine #foryou #sickday #sickmode #momsoftiktok <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Comunale began by filling an oil diffuser with an ‘immunity blend’ and letting it run in her teenage daughter Kiley’s bedroom<\/p>\n The mom then then painted iodine on her daughter’s neck and glands in an attempt to ease her sore throat before giving her a tube of Boiron Oscillococcinum, a homeopathic flu medicine<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘To pull out toxins, I’m going to place sliced potatoes on the bottom of her feet and keep them secure with a sock,’ she explained<\/p>\n ‘She’s always been my favorite patient,’ the mom joked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Comunale wrote in the caption that these remedies helped her feel better when she was sick, and she knew they would help her daughter too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But she also noted that she is ‘not a doctor’ and ‘this is not medical advice.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Comunale’s video has been viewed 20.6 million times and has received more than 10,000 comments about her remedies, which are not scientifically proven to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Many critics slammed the mom for not only touting pseudoscience but for also filming her daughter when she was sick.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Imagine feeling like a s**t and then your mom comes in filming a TikTok while shoving potatoes down your sock.<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Holy f*****g s**t this is almost worse than the essential oils nut jobs. Poor kid,’ another added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘JFC I thought this was a parody,’ someone else admitted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, others shared how their mothers used to treat them with the same remedies, insisting that they work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, Comunale rubbed oil of oregano into her daughter’s ear for her earache<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘Kiley, honest feedback.

[You’re] a good mom.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘My mom would grate garlic and rub it on the bottoms of my feet,’ someone else commented. ‘I\u2019d feel almost back to normal in the morning.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Holistic mothers are the best,’ another added. ‘My mom would always put a humidifier in my room and made me sit outside for bit.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Comunale later posted a follow-up video in response to the people who asked her why she wouldn’t just give her daughter ‘Tylenol’ or other ‘regular medicine.’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She explained that she personally doesn’t ‘take pills of any kind,’ including antibiotics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘I don’t take anything. My family doesn’t take anything. That is our way of life,’ she said. ‘So I understand when somebody sees a video of mine, and you don’t\u00a0live the lifestyle that I do.<\/p>\n ‘You comment this because for you, that’s what you take and that’s the norm,’ she continued. ‘But that’s not the norm for me. Just like doing what I do isn’t the norm for you.\u00a0So there’s room for everybody.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘There’s no right or wrong way, and it is what it is.’<\/p>\n
