From skin conditions to a weak immune system, there are herbs and natural remedies for all kinds of conditions that children get. They are safe and effective. Good nutrition is so important in the prevention of illnesses for children, and so many children have a diet that actually promotes sickness. I am a big believer in food as medicine and I have a lot of superfoods and vitamins for kids that I use as treatment. I find this to be so effective. You will find that everything I recommend for your family is in my own refrigerator and is used everyday by my family. If you are concerned about your child's diet, you may want to set up a nutrition consult with me or take my raw foods class and learn how to prepare some of these superfood recipes. They are all kid approved! To strong and healthy kids!

If your child has a condition that is not on this list, please ask me about it and we will discuss if Chinese Medicine is appropriate.
Natural medicine can help prevent conditions such as allergies and colds by strengthening the child's immune system. This takes time, but is worth it!
Natural medicine is safe and effective. Of the 235 million doses of
antibiotics given each year, the CDC estimates between 20 and 50% are
unnecessary-many times the child is sick with a VIRUS, therefore they
do not need antibiotics, which are for bacterial infections. Repeated
use of antibiotics can kill the child's natural healthy bacterial
flora in their intestines, where 70% of the immune system is. This
can lead to lowered resistance to infections, yeast overgrowth,
diarrhea, indigestion and mal-absorption of nutrients.
