Long COVID and children.

Parents, please take getting COVID seriously for yourselves and children still, even if symptoms are mild or non existent -as the study shows the effects of getting COVID on children.

At Iyashi Wellness, we have safe and very effective herbal antivirals children (and adults) can take that help to prevent the COVID virus from entrenching deeper into the systems that eventually cause Long Covid. We have been successfully treating COVID patients since 2020, before vaccines and pharmaceutical antivirals were available, so we have a lot of experience in this arena.

Also, if you or your child develops Long COVID, the sooner you can get on herbs and supplements that reduce inflammation, clear phlegm, nourish internal systems, clean the blood and treat the remnants of the virus response, we can start helping you feel better from Long COVID. Letting Long COVID entrench, like any chronic condition, makes it harder and longer to get results even with herbs.

As children continue to come in to Iyashi Wellness for different reasons, often times, we find during the intake process they had COVID and we can see a clear line of symptom aggravation or initiation of symptom(s) post COVID. With treatment, these kids are getting better in the symptoms that they came in for (anxiety, asthma, fatigue, digestive disruption, emotional disregulation, tics, PANS/PANDAS, seizures, etc.) because we are treating both the post covid viral response and these imbalances causing the outward symptoms they're coming in for.

All the pediatric herbal medicines prescribed at Iyashi Wellness are tested and manufactured in the US going through GMP certification and 3rd party testing so it's very safe - and effective.

PS. With the fires in LA, our lungs are going to be hit big time, and our immune system thus compromised. Infection rates and the severity of infection is going to increase because of this compromise. Please protect your lungs by masking with an N95 mask outdoors, use a HEPA grade air purifier at home/office (I can offer you a medical grade HEPA air purifier - contact the office at [email protected] for more info) with a humidifier to protect your mucous membranes.

This study looked at 84 children aged 6–16.

They received assessments within 6 months after being tested positive for COVID-19.

Their parents reported observations about their children 3 months before SARS-CoV-2 infection on a wide range of psychopathologies and social functional impairments.

The results showed that the COVID group in the post-COVID condition had more severe symptoms:

🔺inattention
🔺hyperactivity-impulsivity
🔺opposition
🔺a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems
🔺poor school functions, school attitude, social interaction
🔺school behavioral problems
🔺interaction problems with their parents.

Compared with the pre-COVID condition, the COVID group had greater severity of:

🔺inattention and somatic complaints
🔺thought problems
🔺internalising problems
🔺poor school functions
🔺interaction problems with their parents in the post-COVID condition.

The study concludes that it identified a significant link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and various post-COVID mental health sequelae in children, including behavioral/emotional and social adjustment challenges.

The authors underline the importance of raising awareness about ongoing post-COVID mental health concerns in children.

Exactly a week has passed since the LA fires have started. It's been a whirlwind (pun intended, I guess) of emotions and concerns and activities to manage the chaos and devastation around me.

I am deeply grateful my house, family and workspace are not affected by the devastation but grieve at so much loss around this city, both in large scale and in personal ways as I find out every few days of friends and colleagues losing their homes or place of work/school.

At the same time, it's been incredibly heartwarming to see the thousands of people mobilizing to help the fire victims and evacuees in ways big and small. In the 31 years I've lived in LA, I've never seen the city come together like this, donating and volunteering their services, time, and energy alongside neighbors, family, and strangers. My local mom FB groups are so active in sharing resources, directing support, seeking support (and people springing up to offer to get the goods or offer their homes or leads to housing) and mobilizing our community to be a source of support to the city. Moms, dads, children coming together at local organizations to donate, sort, organize, cook, make thank you cards to first responders, shop, and deliver and even become "personal shoppers" to dazed and overwhelmed fire victims coming to find goods they need at these distribution centers.

In my small way, I volunteered at the local Y and also offered my services at a community healing pop-up that occurred on Sunday. The pop up was a vortex of healing, loving, community energy, attended by reiki healers, sound healers, massage therapists, herbalist, movement specialists and yours truly, acupuncturists, all of us giving our time and skills to help heal the city one client at a time. It was truly divine to see so much tender care and compassion and earnestness being directed at Los Angelinos needing to reset their frazzled nerves, support their hurting lungs, and feel like they're not alone in this suffering.

For me, meeting so many wonderful healers from different walks of life and being able to heal even a small segment of the public was so healing for myself and expanded my heart in such a communal way I had not felt in a long time. It was such a gift for me as well to be in community volunteering and at the pop up. Sound healers healing me and a curandera giving me a limpia as well as a fellow acupuncturist gave me a treatment at the end of the pop up. We healers were all looking out for each other, not just the walk ins. I hope to continue supporting our city through other volunteer efforts in the coming days, weeks and months, because we are in the long haul for so much rebuilding that will need to take place.

Here are photos from my pop up, thanks to Christi Mendoza, who allowed me to join the event, organized by Dr. Zelina Medina, a fellow acupuncturist I had not met yet. Her vision brought the like-minded crew of healers from across the city, from Pasadena to the Westside to Orange County (and probably more places). We started to get busy pretty quickly, that I had no time to talk to many of the other healers in the pop up. I wish I did. But every one of them I met were incredibly gifted and earnest, only wishing to help heal our community. It really was beautiful.

So you may read some horrible things in the news both within LA and throughout the world, but people, don't forget 99% of the world is filled with Good People. You just need to connect, person to person. And Los Angeles was a grand example of this community, altruism and connection that exits in this world in the face of incredible adversity. Be kind. Be safe.

And continue please praying for Los Angeles and checking in with friends, colleagues and family if you have here. Donate if you can spare some money. Please pray for rain. We're not out of the woods yet.

For those of us in SoCal near the fire areas, pls be aware of the importance of air quality not just outdoors, but also in your home. With the sustained fires, there is more and more harmful toxic pollution being generated and circulating. These seep into the house especially if your windows and doors are not air tight. If you wipe down your window ledges or floors with a damp mop or rag and see black gunk on it, you know that’s all this horrible smoke debris coming inside. This can be very toxic breathing in this stuff.

Headaches, sore throats, cough, burning eyes, fever can all be signs of poor air quality inhalation.

If you have children, pregnant moms and seniors, they’re even more susceptible to health problems from smoke/poor air quality.

Pls check your air quality outside or know the AQI in your area (check www.airnow.gov) and use an air purifier to clean your air and consider a diffuser or humidifier to provide some moisture into your mucous membranes. Wear n95 or p100 masks definitely outside and possibly indoors if you’re in a high smoke/poor AQI area (lower than AQI 50 is ideal).

Herbal recipes can be both nourishing and healing! 🌿 This immune-boosting tea is perfect for all ages and especially helpful during the cold and flu season. ❄️ In Chinese Medicine, it helps build wei qi (immune strength). Here’s the recipe: 👇

Astragalus Tea 🍵

huang qi (Astragalus) 15 gms

da zao (Chinese dates) 20 gms

gou qi zi (Go Ji berries) 25 gms

water 2 – 6 cups based on taste preference

1. Rinse all the herbs.

2. Fill a pot with anywhere from 2-6 cups of water

3. Throw in rinsed herbs into pot

4. Bring to a boil. Turn off and let it steep until tea comes to room temperature.

5. Drain the tea, removing the herbs. Children can eat the gou qi zi and da zao as a snack as (caution, some da zao come with pits!)

6. Drink in lieu of water, especially during the cold/flu season.

This can be cooked in a crock pot as well. Let it cook on low setting for at least 4 hours. The longer cooked the stronger the medicinal effects. Enjoy!

Healing Practices in Japan 🌸❄️

Japan has some amazing warming practices that help protect your body, especially during the cold months. Keeping the lower belly (hara) warm is key for longevity, disease prevention, and gynecological health. I found hokaron (heat pads) for everything: hands, eyes, back, shoulders, and even for your belly and menstrual areas!

I also tried a haramaki (belly warmer) for extra coziness and a snug shoulder protector for sleeping. These items are great for those who feel the chill, offering warmth without needing to turn up the heat indoors.

If you run cold or want to try something new this winter, these Japanese heating essentials are a must! ✨

Cold and flu (and covid and rsv) season is here. We have safe, effective, natural protocols to keep your babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids/teens healthy! If you have these herbal medicines and supplements on hand, you can significantly decrease the frequency, severity and length of the infections your children will catch at school. If you stick with these protocols, over time, you'll notice your kids either only get minor cold symptoms, or recover faster, which is what we all want -- get sick but recover quick, not the long drawn out coughs and runny noses! The herbal medicine offered in the protocols are made specifically for children in glycerite format, so it’s safe and easy to give to children, made here in the US. None of the cooking of raw herbs customary in Asia, or powders or capsules (unless your teen prefers capsules!).

Check out Iyashi Wellness' Fullscript online pharmacy. You'll need to register if you don't have a Fullscript account. (If you already have a Fullscript account with another practitioner, you'll need to sign on to Iyashi Wellness's with a different email address so that Fullscript can direct you to our online pharmacy). We have protocols for baby/toddlers, kids and teens. Here is an example for baby/toddlers. https://us.fullscript.com/.../iyashiwellness-keep-cold...

Prevention is the best line of defense, but you also want to be prepared with safe remedies for your children should they get sick.
