Speed Up a Sick Kid’s Recovery With an All-Natural “Knock-Out”
Archives: Diet and Nutrition
During the winter months, your kids are at greater risk for catching a cold or the flu from their classmates. You can help keep their immune systems strong with vitamin C and cod liver oil. Unfortunately, this isn’t 100 percent effective. Kids can still get sick.
To get over an illness as quickly as possible, they need plenty of sleep. But a hacking cough or stuffy nose can prevent them from getting enough shuteye. To solve this problem, you might consider valerian root. (That’s what I give my kids.) This plant provides a mouthful of sedative compounds that help kids sleep soundly and without interruption.
