I consult with a very good pediatrician for K. I’ve been
taking her to him since she was born. The medicines he prescribes suit her well and work
wonders in recovery. But at times I feel does she really need so many
medicines? Why can’t you just try the regular home remedies. FYI… I’m a big fan
of home remedies… and wherever meds can be avoided I DO!!!
When K was younger I obviously followed the docs advise and
gave her the meds he prescribed but since she turned 1 I have been introducing
her to subtle hom-meds.
The simple concoction
`kaadha’ of honey, haldi, tulsi leaves and a bit of lemongrass in water
and let it boil away it you feel all the curing properties in all the elements
have been sucked out of them. Cool it and give 3 – 4 spoons as many times
through the day. You can also add lavang, dalchini, but I think it’ll make it
quite spicy and hurt the lil ones throat.
Just giving them
spoon full of honey every morning, cures a cough but obviously slowly.
A wonder powder I stumbled upon `Jestha Madh’. Add a lil bit
of it in a spoon full of honey. Just a pinch will do infact since its quite
spicy. Its worked wonderfully on K. Her cough reduced considerably.
It depends person to person, I prefer building on K’s immunity
and strengthening her system from now itself. Whenever she does fall sick, I prefer
to wait 3 days giving her hom-meds and then adding the `Sinarest’, `wickoryls’
to the list!
