Paediatric Health - Supplements, Homeopathic remedies, and Essential Oils

Children's health is something I am extremely passionate about. I have three wonderful and healthy children. I can sympathize with people when they ask me what I feed my children, what time they go to bed, what supplements that I give them, and how I support their immune systems because it can be extremely confusing.

I don't believe that children should be on a huge amount of supplements. Their body's are very sensitive and it is quite easy for them to overdose on vitamins and minerals. Nutrition plays a larger role in our daily lives and I use essential oils and homeopathic remedies to support them if any issues come up. 

The only two supplements that they get on a daily basis are HMF Fit for School (a probiotic with Vitamin D and Vitamin C) and Cod Liver Oil (a fatty acid that is essential for proper brain development). They get this with their breakfast every morning before school.

Some of my favourite homeopathic remedies to keep on hand are Belladonna for fevers and earaches, Ignatia for anxiety, Aconitum for coughs and colds, Arsenicum for the onsite of colds, and Chamomilla for teething pain and sleeping issues. 

I love my essential oils and how they support my family. I use them for everything from naturally cleaning my house, to diffusing in the air. I have a diffuser in each of my children's rooms to help to purify the air and support their body's while they sleep. During the school year, I put the Thieves blend in their diffuser at night with Northern Lights Black Spruce. Both of those oils come in Young Living's starter kit and I use them on a daily basis. I diffuse both Orange and Vetiver when they get home from school and are playing with each other. If they have any stomach issues, I use DiGize. They each have a roller bottle that I have made to support their emotional health. They take these with them to school and are allowed to use them throughout the day. For more information on how to use essential oils safely with children, please send me an email. 

I hope that starts to answer a few questions for everyone. I will be posting (hopefully soon!) on what I feed my children on a daily basis. Have a wonderful day!
