Does your child have a cough that won’t seem to go away?
We like what Robin Green has to say about it at: http://www.kidsloveacupuncture.com. Here are some basic suggestions:
- Stop using cough medicine and consider dark honey and lemon to soothe your little one’s throat.
- Eliminate dairy if possible. Dairy tends to build phlegm and aggravate a cough.
- Use essential oils (instead of petroleum based Vicks, for example) to rub on their chest.
- Make poached pears with cinnamon before bedtime. Pears are a great winter fruit that help nourish the lungs.Robin offers other suggestions and Tuina Massage Tips.
