Immunity Basics
It’s important to understand the basics of how a virus or bacteria can enter the body - then we can focus on how it can exit. In Traditional Medicine we work with pathogens, rather than against them, while strengthening the host, in order for mounting a successful immune response. Read this to gain control over the illness - don’t let it control you.
A Note on Fevers
Fevers are the body’s natural immune defence, and pathogen fighter, but too often we suppress this. Understandably, this can be a scary time, and sometimes we may need intervention. But when we know what a fever really does and how it works, we can have a clearer idea of when to intervene. Herbal and lifestyle interventions can also assist when your child has a high fever.

Supplements for Children
There’s a lot of information out there about what our little ones should and should not be taking. Let me break this down for you…. (and it’s not as complex as you may think!) Little bodies only need a little help. Supplements should really only be used to ‘supplement’ the food as medicine.
Herbal Medicine for Children
Herbs are a beautiful way to support little one’s immune systems. There are many child-friendly herbs out there that can be used safely, in many different forms. We can use them from Nature herself, or extracted from the plants. These are also fun to introduce to your child, to begin to expand their minds on healing with Nature - you may even be able to grow some in your garden!
Recipes for Immunity
I would like to share a few of my family’s favourite meals to support immunity. These are beautiful when we are fighting illness (if there is an appetite), or to have in high rotation on a weekly, or daily, basis to keep our little one’s body’s building stronger when we aren’t sick - so we become more resilient when we are unwell!
