The Best Natural Medicine For Sick Kids #naturalremedy #naturalmedicine #shorts

When your child is sick, does it feel like that mad dash to find something to make them feel better? We run to the store, we're trying to find whatever's on the shelves that might help, but unfortunately, by the time we get to the store, it's often too late. Hi, I'm Dr. Ilana. I'm a pediatric naturopathic doctor and a mother. Let's talk about the mistake that a lot of moms make when it comes to treating their child's illness. Many times when our kids get sick, we're in a rush. You see, when it comes to treating illness, timing is everything. Natural medicines are most effective when taken on the onset of symptoms. But when we wait until our child is already feeling terrible, we may have missed that window of opportunity for those medications to work. So what you can do to avoid this mistake? The key is to be prepared. Keep a small stash of basic medications at home like elderberry syrup, echinacea, zinc, and a few homeopathics so you are ready when symptoms start. You also want some saline drops and a snot sucker to help your child get those boogers out. And grab some wool socks so you're ready for the cold wet sock treatment. Don't know what that is? Stay tuned for another video. Lastly, a thermometer is always handy, but please
