How I swapped bananas for cough medicine.
This is a post about my absolutely amazing community trying to help out a mama bear and her cup.
On stories, I asked for any great advice to help my poorly daughter get well. She has this horrific throat cough that the doctor could not help us with. Please note that this is not a medical advice post. I am just sharing with you all the amazing advice I have been given by other mums and my nutritionist.
Amber has been sick for over 14 days! I kind of let it run its course at the beginning, but when the sickness did not budge after 3 days, I certainly started to look into improving and supporting her body even more.
I reached out to . Lynsey said to boost her immune system. We got her a Vit C and Elderberry supplements. We already had the ArmaForce throat spray but got the cough relief. Half dosage. Marshmallow tea was on the list, too. We have already been using NZL Manuka honey, Easyair, and Oregano oil.
2 days ago, I asked you beautiful mama's if you have any suggestions on how to stop her cough.
We are endlessly grateful for such a supportive network. You came in with fantastic treatment ideas. We have not been sleeping for weeks due to endless coughing. You boosted my energy levels with your responses, no doubt.
So many of you have sick kids as well. Whooping cough, pneumonia, and lots of other respiratory infections are present on the coast.
How do bananas fit into this story? Well, one amazing mama gave us some homeopathic drops out of her brand new kit. She waited for my husband to pick it up after her school run. She wanted and expected nothing back, so I sent a bunch of our home-grown bananas to show my gratitude.
Here is a list of suggestions from our community to fight off coughs.
🌸 see a Homoeopath, Kinesiologist, acupuncturist
🌸 special tea like fresh ginger, cinnamon, and tumeric powder with honey added when cooled down
🌸 Epsom salt bath with apple cider vingar
🌸 Thyme steam
🌸 Nose drops (sooths the throat)
🌸 Wheat and Dairy free
🌸 Colloidal Silver
🌸 Onions: Cut up and put in a bag near. Onion syrup: cut open and add sugar and honey.
