Children Cold and Flu’s

It is important for your child’s immune system to be exposed to bugs and learn to fight infections; however, sometimes enough is enough. If your child regularly catches colds and flu’s they may have an imbalance in their immune system, which may make the more susceptible to infections. A fussy diet, nutritional deficiencies and/or a lack of exercise can all lead to these imbalances in their immune system.

How can I help?

If your child’s immune system is struggling to defend itself from all the bugs going around at day care or school, don’t despair –

Natural Medicines often help! Particular herbs and nutrients may help you to manage cold and flu symptoms naturally, as well as improving underlying immune imbalances. There are specific herbs for sore throats, sinusitis, coughs and earache. It entirely depends on your childs’ individual presentation.

If herbal medicine is determined as the best medicine, I do have glycetracts which are sweet and palatable for children.

Often an imbalance in the gut flora (dysbiosis) is an underlying trigger and can be rectified with a gut healing powder or a glycetract and probiotic.

Take a proactive approach and consult with me today. By making some simple changes to your child’s diet and lifestyle and by taking the appropriate supplements, you can reduce the amount of colds and flu’s your child catches and strengthen their overall health for life.
