Back to School Tips to Strengthen Children’s Immune System

SUMMARY: Parents should not panic if their kids get sick in school, as it is normal for children to get sick around five times a year. This helps build their immune system. However, there are natural remedies that parents can implement at home to reduce the frequency of illnesses. One such remedy is echinacea, an herb that acts as an immunomodulator and helps balance the immune system. Another helpful herb is lemon balm, which is calming, soothing, and antiviral. Lastly, it is important for kids to stay hydrated, and adding black cherry concentrate to their water can make it more appealing and provide additional vitamins and minerals. Overall, these tips can be beneficial for parents in managing their children’s health during the school year.

Renowned master herbalist Sara-Chana Silverstein joins us to talk about tips to build your child’s immune system as they return to the classroom.
