Fevers! Are you team 'Nope, too hot', or 'Let it Ride'?

I am pretty crazy when it comes to suppressing fevers. And by crazy I mean that I once went 9 days with a fever 🤪 But I know how difficult it can be to watch our little ones spike a fever and look miserable. Our instincts are to do whatever we can to make them feel better! But, what if by doing that, we cause more damage?

Did you know that in other countries people use fevers as THERAPY. There is something called Fever Therapy and it has been used in THE BIG C treatment 😱 Hyperthermia is a type of treatment in which body tissue is heated to as high as 113 °F to help damage and kill can cer cells with little or no harm to normal tissue. That's amazing! Sauna's and chiropractic adjustments are also used to INDUCE or increase a fever to help heal the body.

But not here in the US! We like to suppress everything and many times work against what the body is trying to do naturally 🙃

Learning about the benefits of fevers can help us relax more when our children come down with something that the body needs to fight off. Check out why fevers may be a good thing as well as tips on what you can do the next time your little one is fighting germs!

Let's Dig Into ...Fevers. Why are they so scary? By Rachael Lukas

Is it cold and flu season? Is it??? Is it REALLY? ⁣

Have you ever looked up some of the symptoms we might experience if we had consumed even the smallest amount of poison? Turns out, they are pretty similar to how we feel with common ailments like cold or flu. ⁣
⁣
Makes ya wonder doesn’t it...⁣🤨
⁣
This is why gentle daily detoxing is critical to your child’s health. The less toxins that accumulate in their body, the healthy they will be. ⁣
⁣
FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO DAILY⁣
1. Take vitamin C ⁣
2. Take antioxidants, my favorite is Ningxia Red⁣
3. Move your body. Make sure you actively move and keep the lymphatic system working properly⁣
4. Use essential oils. They help to bring oxygen to the cells, supportive to organs and help release toxins⁣
5. Relax. Our bodies repair during the parasympathetic state. You can not be stressed and repair at the same time.⁣
