School has been in session for a few weeks for most of us and we are all seeing the uptic of the sniffles or worse. Here are a few tips to keep you and your kids healthy during this season.
First, let's build up the immune system. Here are a few of my tried and true supplements that my family has used for years and has 100% improved our immunity.
Flourish Probiotics:
80% of the immune system is located in our gut. Good bacteria help us resist disease.
Why Flourish? Flourish is a living, liquid probiotic supplement. Probiotics in liquid form are in their most natural state and environment. Flourish contains eleven diverse strains of beneficial bacteria, These strains are grown together in community, versus most powdered probiotic capsules which are grown individually and combined after having been centrifuged and freeze-dried. Because the strains remain in their most natural live state, the solution retains all of the beneficial metabolites and organic acids released by the bacteria during their normal life cycle. These metabolites also have incredible benefits for the human body, especially the brain and immune system.
Nourish Superfoods & Sprouts
This is the best multivitamin I’ve found by far! Here are a few reasons why I give Nourish to my family:
Antioxidant power of over 7 serving of fruits and vegetables.
Ingredients are gently blended, never heated, and contain NO artificial colors, flavors, fillers, sweeteners, additives and synthetic, isolated, or fractionated vitamins & minerals.

ALLERGY SUPPORT: Contains natural antihistamines and anti-inflammatories.
COMPLETE NUTRITION: Sprouts are rich in chlorophyll, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and 30x more nutrition than cooked food.

Homeopathic Support
Do you tend to catch every cold? Does sickness tend to hit you harder than others? Or do you “never get sick”? You may want to consider seeing a homeopath. Seeing a homeopath for your chronic condition can help to clear your susceptibility to illnesses. We would build your personal homeopathic protocol to activate your immune system to respond appropriately again.
Top Homeopathic Remedies to Keep on Hand this Season.
Take as needed at onset of symptoms up to 4 times a day. Continue use for up to a week if symptoms improve. If the remedy stops working you’ve most likely switched to another remedy picture. Work with your homeopath to find your correct new remedy for your symptoms. You can also take this as a preventive when exposed to someone with the vid.
For the remedies listed below you do not have to have 100% of the symptoms listed to match the remedy. Just choose the one you have the most symptoms matches with or your biggest symptom is listed.
Take one dose and wait. If any improvements stay on that remedy for the next few days as symptoms improve. If no improvements move to the next closest remedy. If you’ve tried everything and nothing is working contact your homeopath. Your remedy is most likely not on this short list.
