This can include ingredients like dried medicinal herbs, carrier oils, beeswax, essential oils, and containers. Pair it with a book or online course on herbal medicine making to guide him in creating his own remedies.

6. Massage or acupuncture session: Treat your son to a session with a licensed massage therapist or acupuncturist. These forms of therapy can provide relaxation, pain relief, and help balance the body's energy systems.
