Podcast Episode 72: Hospital to Healthy: My Hacks for Busting a Nasty Bug
We’ve been very fortunate to make it this long without needing an overnight hospital stay for any of our kids . . . until this month. Baby had some super nasty croupy breathing and we were grateful to get him the care he needed. It took some firm conversations to follow my momma instinct to leave the hospital when we did and although not in need of breathing treatments, baby was still plenty sick and could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
I did everything I could to support his recovery at home and thankfully he was down to just some lingering congestion within a couple of days.
Please note I am NOT a medical professional, just a mom who hates having sick kids! I’ve been fascinated with finding everything I can do to mitigate sickness and here are some of my favorites:
Chocolate Golden Milk: Blend 2 cups water with 1/4 cup cashews (or use plant milk), 4-5 dates, 1 1/2 TBSP cocoa powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp ginger, pinch black pepper and pinch cayenne pepper. Add additional honey to sweeten to taste.
Fresh Juice: You’ll need a juicer (although I have heard of people using their high speed blender and a nut milk bag) and experiment with your favorite fruits and veggies. We usually create a combo of celery, carrots, cucumber, lemon, ginger, beet, apple, orange, lemon and pineapple. Not all at the same time, just what we have on hand.
Essential Oils: I use doTerra Breathe and OnGuard an also like oils from PlantTherapy.com though I haven’t tried their specific immunity blends yet. When you shop for essential oils on Amazon, make sure to buy from a well-rated seller as there are some phony products out there.
XLEAR Products:
Sometimes I am able to find these products for a better price at AzureStandard.com or iHerb.com
