When We Get Sick

I've been meaning to post this now for a few weeks. When I find something that works for us I can't wait to tell other people :)

When the kids show signs of a weakened immune system, I give them
I will also pump their systems with Sambucus before traveling.

When they are having nasal problems, I give them
This last go around they had a nagging coufh and runny nose that people around us were saying they had had for a month. So I went to the local organic store and found a Hyland's product...healed in two days.
On a semi-regular basis they are given Nordic Naturals Nordic Berries Multivitamin. When Scotty starts feeling ill he pumps his immune system with Vitamin C and Echinacea. If he feels like it's a bit more serious than a minor cold, he takes

I just finished making my first homeopathic tincture - ImLife Tincture and we'll use that especially for Scott and I like I do the Sambucus for the kids and if we run out of Sumbucus then I can give it to the kids. We'll see how it works. Hope these products work as well for you as they do for us!

    hey there, found your blog from Emily Malone. But I am all about fighting sicknesses, especially if I can use something a bit more natural too! Question: I have a 8 month old- when is he able to use some of these products?

    Joy, How great! Sambucus recommends from age 1 to 6 1tsp daily or 1-2tsp 2x daily for intensive use. So you could maybe try 1/2tsp with the 8mth old. We started Sinusin w/my 3yr old when se was 15mths. I'm pretty sure we used it with Darton before he was one. But it recommends to consult a dr if under 2yrs. Don't try the Hyland's product b/c I girlfriend tried it on her infant and it gave her intense tummy pain. We've used different Heel products for our kids when they were under 1yr (Viburcol & Traumeel www.heelusa.com). Hope this helps!
