Back To School Immune Support Check List!

Yes, I'm a complete 80's dork. Back to school is upon us.

Oh lord- let the germ exposure begin! 

Fear Not Mom's, Dad's & Teachers...Our bodies are designed to eat viruses and bacteria for breakfast!

Here's what I'd recommend:

  • Elderberry/and or Echinacea tincture (take either or both one week on, one week off) About 30 drops (1 dopper full is a prevention dose) Click the Elderberry Link above for instructions on it's use. 
  • An Acute dose of echinacea tincture- meaning YOU ARE FOR SURE GETTING SICK- would be 60-90 drops of echinacea every 2 hours. This is 2-3 droppers full. 
  • Once your fully sick, these things will help but at this point you may need other herbals to improve symptoms like expectorants, antispasmodics and continued immune support to speed heal time. 
  • Pick up a high quality commercial Elderberry Extract here- caution though this size is best for a family as it should be used within 1 month of purchase:)
