Essential Supplements and Herbal Remedies for Back-to-School Wellness at Farm On Central
Hello again, everyone! Savannah here from Farm On Central, and today we’re diving into the final installment of our back-to-school series—focusing on the essential supplements and herbal remedies that can help keep your family healthy, especially during the busy school season. Having these natural remedies on hand can be a lifesaver, (ask me how I know!).
Natural Solutions for Common Ailments
Mullen Garlic Oil: This is a must-have for anyone dealing with ear discomfort, particularly in little ones like my daughter, who faced ear issues last spring. It helps soothe the eustachian tubes and reduce inflammation, often providing relief without the need for antibiotics.
Echinacea & Wild Cherry Tinctures: These are my go-tos for boosting the immune system and managing that stubborn 2 AM cough. Echinacea works wonders for the respiratory system, while wild cherry acts as an antispasmodic, making nighttime coughs more bearable.
Fire Cider & Elderberry Syrup: Daily doses of fire cider are our family ritual during the colder months, known for its immune-boosting properties. Elderberry syrup is another staple, especially when we’re actively fighting off sickness. It’s packed with immune-supporting benefits and is a hit with the kids when mixed with a bit of warm water.
Supportive Topicals and Teas
Resp-Eze Salve: Perfect for rubbing on the chest, feet, or even behind the neck, this salve made from garlic, mullein, rosemary, and other herbs opens up the respiratory pathways and facilitates easier breathing.
Respiratory Tea: A warm cup of this tea, infused with herbs like peppermint, oregano, mullein, and echinacea, helps clear lung congestion. It’s not only therapeutic but also enjoyable to drink thanks to its minty flavor.
