We have a boatload of stuff, but what we use most often is:
topically:
-this therawise cream:
http://well.ca/products/therawise-sh...ent_10849.html (cuts, scrapes)
-aloe (burns, random irritations)
-arnica (bruises)
orally:
-hylands teething tabs
-children's advil (used to use motrin, but that all got recalled. we use this as sparingly as possible for teething, and never for fever reduction)
-homeopathic coffea (dd is a CRAPPY sleeper)
-homeopathic arnica or traumeel (big tumbles down the stairs, etc)
-sambu elderberry syrup (we used to use Eldertussin for kids, but can't get it anymore. for colds/flus)
-echinacea tincture (colds/flus, infections)
We also have a random collection of bandaids and a kid friendly ice pack (it's a horse, with an ice pack in its belly, and even then, we can rarely convince dd to use it)
That pretty much covers it. I do use essential oils - in the bath to calm (lavendar) or to clear congestion (e something?! eee, I'm so sleep deprived right now, the name escapes me). Tea tree we use mostly for cleaning, but also have some in a little spray bottle with lavendar and water for cleaning out wounds, etc.
I also dose with extra vit c in times of illness or potential infection, and add vit e when skin needs extra help rebuilding (big cuts, etc). DD also gets probiotics, fish oil and D3 daily, and monthly chiropractic adjustments, which I think help keep illness at bay and speed healing.
