Since my daughter got her chicken pox vaccine she's only
been 100% well for 4 days altogether and it's been 2 months already. Today she
has another full blown cold again. It's Snotcentral at home...
We've tried all the usual natural remedies such as Karval /
Vicks rubs etc. but I have decided to tackle this head on today with the
following combo:
1. No milk
2. Adding cinnamon and 1tsp of coconut oil to her rooibos
tea instead. (both claim to be beneficial) For sore throats a dash of honey
could be added too.
3. Saline solution for nosespray
4. A dash of sunshine (Vitamin D)
5. Added garlic to mealtimes.
6. Karval / Vicks rubbed on feet, chest and back.
7. Humidifier at night.
8. Ferr Phos Tissue Salts - for inflammation and fever and Nat Mur for Colds.
9. Only give fever reducing medication if temperature is
38.4 and above. (It's recommended that you alternate Ibuprofen and
Acetaminophen every 4 hours as needed to prevent the child from receiving too
much of one medication.)
