There are so many natural treatments out there for sick kiddos. It can be overwhelming knowing where to begin - also near to impossible to do all the things.
It’s important to find what works for you and your budget/mental sanity, but I wanted to share our go-to’s when we have a sick kiddo.
These are our go-to’s for any kind of sickness...Upper Respiratory, Fevers, etc. And for any age (unless otherwise specified).
*Elderberry and Garlic Honey I will use IF I have them readily on hand, but I don’t go out of my way if I don’t.
