RELIEVE YOUR CHILD’S COUGHS & COLDS NATURALLY: with Herbs and Homeopathy

Runny nose, cough, sore throat, sneezing, headache… cough and cold season is back! Just like the rest of the family, your child is not spared from these small ailments that come around at each change of season. Why is cough and cold so frequent during this time of the year and how do we relieve these symptoms?

Certainly, these times of the year are particularly risky for little ones. When temperatures are mild, as they are between summer and fall, viruses multiply and spread rapidly. In the summer, it’s the coronavirus and the rhinovirus which are the two main culprits of these pesky colds!

And when the season changes from summer to fall and then winter, a child’s body can be weakened. In the transition from summer to winter, the days become shorter and the sunshine is dramatically reduced. Your child has to adapt to this new rhythm and therefore may be less resistant to the numerous viruses that multiply around us.

In short, changes of seasons are periods during which your child’s body needs a boost to ward off these small ailments. For this, some good habits are to be put in place…

Tip #1– First of all, encourage your child to spend time outdoors. The natural light will help their body to adopt the right rhythm.

Tip #2 – Next, do not neglect physical activity. To keep fit, have your child practice physical activity daily.

Tip #3 – Let them get a good night’s sleep. Up to age 13, 10 hours of sleep are recommended.

Tip #4 – Focus on the benefits of food, by preparing a variety of healthy and balanced meals.

Tip #5 – Finally, food supplements for children are a must during changes of seasons. They will help your child strengthen their immune system and thus better defend themselves against viruses.
