Come cold and flu season I have always been at a bit of a loss as to how to treat my children鈥檚 coughs and boost their health and immune system.

Assuming we鈥檙e giving our kids fresh healthy food Cheap Andrew Cogliano Hat , water and exercise 鈥?what should we reach for when they won鈥檛 stop coughing? Are there natural remedies that help to prevent colds and flu happening in the first place?


Firstly, let鈥檚 take a little look at immunity.


Children are born with some immunity but it is largely undeveloped. The immune system fights infections and diseases by producing antibodies.


鈥淎n infant produces antibodies efficiently by about six months, but the immune system is not fully developed until it is about four or five years old.鈥?( ) This whole system can be supported by us and through a very good friend I鈥檝e been exposed to Fusion Health. My aim with my kids is to try to be as natural as possible when it comes to their health. This isn鈥檛 always easy. I couldn鈥檛 breastfeed my twins for as long as I did my first born. Like so many of us I鈥檓 juggling my business Cheap Cam Fowler Hat , children, housework, homework Cheap Corey Perry Hat , sport and it can be a struggle to look after them in the best way, all of the time. So, if there are natural supplements that help me to help them then that鈥檚 wonderful!


I like how Fusion Health have described three stages of illness and how to support the immune system through each stage so I鈥檝e teamed this up with some of their products that are great for children Cheap Rickard Rakell Hoodie , one of them even for newborns.


1) Resistance prevention


Astra 8 Immune Tonic


I first heard of Astra 8 through my Mother-in-Law who absolutely swears by its power to fend off the lurgy. What I didn鈥檛 realise is that it can be taken by children as young as two-years-old. It is a high potency immune-boosting formula combining herbs traditionally used in Chinese medicine to promote a healthy immune system and build resistance against minor infections.


To be able to help prevent my kids from getting sick, to help avoid time off school away from learning鈥?Yes please.


Child 2-5 yrs: Take 陆-1 tablet once or twice daily. Tablet must be crushed and mixed with syrup or honey.
Child 6-12 yrs: Take 1-2 tablets once or twice daily.


Vitamin C 1000 Advanced


Good old vitamin C and this one is sugar-free, free of artificial flavours and sweeteners and tastes good enough for my 7-year-old to ask for his daily dose.


Child 6-12 yrs: Chew 陆-1 tablet once or twice daily. An extra dose may be taken as professionally advised.


Kids鈥?Probiotic Advanced


Now this one is a goodie because the children don鈥檛 even know they are taking it!
You use the spoon provided to measure the right amount of powder (NB not the spoon I pictured which just looked pretty) and simply mix it with yoghurt or puree.


There are so many beauties to this product鈥?It helps maintain babies鈥?and children鈥檚 intestinal microflora and healthy digestive function Cheap Antoine Vermette Hoodie , and may help to prevent and relieve tummy upsets such as flatulence, colic and abdominal bloating.


It may provide symptomatic relief from allergic conditions such as eczema and dermatitis and aids the absorption of nutrients vital to growing kids, such as calcium Cheap Josh Manson Hoodie , iron and zinc.


Newborns & Infants 0-12 mths: Take 1-2g (陆-1 rounded spoon) once daily.
Children 1-12 yrs: Take 2g (1 rounded spoon) once daily.

2) Symptom relief


Cold & Flu


When your children are ill and you鈥檙e turning to Dr Google for help with colds and flu > to see whether you should give kids a hot shower at 3am to help their croup and wondering whether cough syrups actually work, these two products should help you.


I just can鈥檛 bring myself to buy children鈥檚 cough syrup by the way. From what I鈥檝e read it鈥檚 not effective and mostly full of high fructose corn syrup so I was so happy to find alternatives.


Try this to help reduce their scratchy cough, sore throat and blocked nose.


Child 2-6 yrs: Take 陆-1 tablet twice daily. Tablet must be crushed and mixed with syrup or honey.
Child 6-12 yrs: Take 1-2 tablets twice daily.


Cough Lung Tonic


Ease coughing and clear congestion with the liquid or capsules. I got to this at the tail end of croup and it seemed to help my 7-year-old recover more quickly compared to my five-year-olds who didn鈥檛 try it. He was brave enough to take the liquid but now I realise that I can break the capsules and mix them with honey which will enable my younger ones to have it too.


Child 2-5 yrs: Take 陆-1 capsule 1-3 times daily. Mix capsule contents with a little syrup or honey.
Child 6-12 yrs: Take 1-2 capsules 1-3 times daily.


Vitamin C 1000 Advanced is also important during this symptom relief stage as is Kids鈥?Probiotics Advanced.


3) Recovery


Kids鈥?Probiotics Advanced. Such a great all-rounder for children鈥檚 immunity.
Astra 8 Immune Tonic is recommended as a recovery tonic for the whole family.


Not sure which products are right for your children?


Fusion Health provide access to an online Naturopath for health and product advice. When I sent a query about how many of these products I could use together Cheap Derek Grant Hoodie , I got an answer within a couple of hours.


The beauty of all of these products, is that you can take them too! Don鈥檛 forget yourself, which we so often do in this mission to grow and nurture our little ones.


Stay healthy.
