Raising healthy kids
Part 2: Immunity
The best thing you can do for your child’s immune system is to take the necessary steps to KEEP them healthy right from the start!
Building a strong foundation from the start can be crucial to keeping your kiddos healthy and happy!
When it comes to viruses and other sicknesses, our first line of defense is to choose an overall healthy LIFESTYLE! There are many preventive measures we can implement into our everyday lives to keep our kiddo's immune system balanced and functioning at its highest potential!
- Regular chiropractic adjustments
Did you know that the nervous system has a direct connection to immune function? When the nervous system is clear of any interference, the immune system can regulate properly!
- Try garlic oil vs antibiotics
We recommend trying garlic oil for ear infections rather than going straight to antibiotics! @shoporganicolivia has a great kids' line that we recommend.
- Use essential oils
Thieves, lavender, and oregano are great essential oils to support the immune system. How to use them? 5 drops of each oil diluted and rolled down the spine/on the feet.
- Probiotics for gut health
We recommend @klaire_labs probiotics for littles to optimize the gut-immune system! We carry them in the office if you are local.
- Let fevers do their things
Did you know fevers are a good thing for the body? It’s the way the body gets rid of the nasty bugs circulating! Take an Epsom salt bath and lots of skin-to-skin cuddles to help support the fever naturally!
What are things you are doing to set your kiddo's immune system up for success? Let us know in the comments below!
