The Back to School season has come and gone, but have the germs? It is a given that kids will come home from school, daycare and other public places with more germs and viruses this time of year, especially if their bodies are not immune to the new strains that they come across!
Here is a few tips to keep the viruses at bay:
1] washing hands regularly with a toxin free hand soap. Try our
Delish Naturals Simply Soap Washing Solution. It is hyper concentrated for longevity.
2] teach kids & adults to cover the coughs and sneezes! Proper technique is to cover the mouth with your inside elbow. I need to often remind my kids & husband to do that but eventually they catch on again and start reminding others to do so as well.
3] eating healthy! We have taken steps to eliminate 90% of the processed foods normally found in our household. That's right! No more Kraft Dinner - Mac & Cheese for us, we can do homemade though. We have also been buying local produce and meat as well. Only occasionally will we have drinks like pop, iced tea and the like. It is mostly water or milk!
And when they do get sick there are a few natural methods you can take before turning to the cough medicine's and other over the counter remedies.
1]
Raspy Rub in the Tin or To Go Stick - Its Vicks without the ick! Pure, therapeutic grade essential oils break up chest congestion, calm coughs, and soothes yucky noses while organic cocoa and shea butters absorb quickly. No stickiness or residue. Simply smooth over the chest, back, throat, or under the nose to provide relief of your cold symptoms. Recommended on 6 months and up, effective for the entire family! For the remainder of the month, the Raspy Rub is also on SALE so be sure to take advantage of that before it's too late.
2] Sore, tired & aching muscles? Leave the *other brand* on the shelf and turn to the Delish Naturals Be Knotty Muscle Rub. Full of organic and essential oils that work to unite your knots the natural made way! For adult use only.
3] Fluids and a LOT of rest!
Livestrong.com suggests a wide variety of fruit & vegetables, also probiotics and protein when you are sick. "Fluids help flush the toxins from your body and support hydration while recovering from illness," the
Livestrong article says. Choose warm fluids like broth, chicken soup and herbal teas. Click the link to read more about the food they recommend.
