Chiropractic West Bend WI What To Do With Sick Kids

Kids present more of a challenge when they are sick and unable to get essential vitamins and herbs into their systems because they are unable to take tablets or capsules and most herbs have an unpleasant taste.

A few herbs that are beneficial when a child is sick are garlic, echinacea and goldenseal.

When using garlic, I use the garlic oil in a liquid form and rub it on the bottom of their feet and then put socks on. You use the feet because those are the largest pores in the body and will allow the body to absorb the garlic.

When I use echinacea and goldenseal, I will put a few drops in juice or kombucha. A drink that has strong flavor is best.

Standard Process makes a throat spray with echinacea, and Nature’s Sunshine also carries a golden seal/echinacea liquid squeeze bottle. Both have an okay taste to them.

For my 4-year-old daughter, I put a lot of her supplements and herbs in kombucha to hide the flavor. Making a smoothie loaded with all the herbs and supplements is the best way to get all of their essentials in while providing a delicious taste.

Lastly, I like to utilize diffusers and oils, especially for children. Your children can breathe in the oils that contain many powerful properties all night long or you can rub it on their body. It is simple, yet provides many benefits!
