Immune-Boosting Kids’ Gummies 🌿🍓

Ingredients (makes ~20 gummies):
1 cup 100% fruit juice (orange, apple, or mixed berries) 🍊🍓
2 tbsp honey (for kids over 1 year) 🍯
2 tbsp powdered gelatin (or agar-agar for vegan option) 🌱
1 drop food-grade lemon essential oil 🍋
1 drop food-grade orange essential oil 🍊
Optional: 1 drop food-grade lavender essential oil 🌸 for calming

Instructions:
Pour juice into a small saucepan over low heat (do not boil).
Whisk in gelatin or agar until fully dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in honey and essential oils.
Pour mixture into silicone molds 🍬.
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours until set.
Pop out gummies and store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Tips & Safety:
Always use food-grade essential oils and 1 drop per batch—more can be too strong for children.

Never give essential oils directly—always dilute in food or carrier.

These gummies are a tasty complement, not a replacement for healthy food or medical care.

🌀 How Chiropractic Adjustments May Support Your Child’s Immune System

Your nervous system and immune system are deeply connected.
The brain and spinal cord (your central nervous system) communicate with every cell in your body — including those that fight germs.

Here’s how adjustments may help:

1️⃣ Improving Nervous System Function
Misalignments (subluxations) in the spine can cause stress to the nervous system.
Gentle adjustments help restore proper movement and alignment, which supports clear communication between the brain and body.

2️⃣ Reducing Stress Load
Physical, chemical, and emotional stress all affect immune function.
Adjustments may help the body adapt better to stress, allowing the immune system to stay more balanced.

3️⃣ Supporting Lymphatic & Blood Flow
Proper spinal and joint movement helps circulation and lymphatic drainage, aiding in the removal of waste and immune cells getting where they’re needed.

4️⃣ Enhancing the Body’s Natural Healing
Chiropractic care doesn’t “fight” illness — it supports the body’s own ability to heal and defend itself.

💡 For Kids & Babies:
Gentle paediatric adjustments are tailored to their age and size. Many parents report fewer colds and faster recovery after starting care — while research is ongoing, the body’s interconnected systems suggest a strong relationship.

🌿 Whole-Body Immune Support:
Chiropractic works best as part of a holistic approach — nourishing food, plenty of sleep, hydration, movement, and emotional wellbeing.

💧 Helping Little Noses Breathe Easier
Blocked noses can make kids cranky, disrupt sleep, and even affect feeding.
Nasal flushing with a gentle saline rinse is a safe, natural way to:
✨ Wash away allergens, dust & germs
✨ Clear congestion for better breathing and sleep
✨ Keep nasal passages healthy and comfortable

It’s suitable for all ages (with the right technique!) — from tiny babies to big kids.
In our last slide, we’ve included a simple how-to guide so you can try it at home with confidence.

👃 Have you ever used nasal flushing with your child? Did you notice a difference?

🍼 Your Baby’s Immune System: The First Year
A newborn’s immune system is like a tiny army that’s still in training.
Here’s how it develops in the first 12 months:
0–6 Months
- Protected by antibodies passed from mum during pregnancy.
- Breastmilk (especially colostrum) provides extra immune boosters.
- Still more vulnerable to germs — handwashing and gentle exposure are key.

6–12 Months
- Maternal antibodies start to fade, and baby’s own immune system takes over.
- Each cough, sniffle, and minor bug helps “train” their defences.
- Balanced diet, good sleep, and a healthy gut all support strong immunity.

💡 Tip for Parents: Avoid antibiotics unless necessary — they can disrupt gut health, which plays a big role in immunity.

🌿 Support their immune system naturally:
- Chiropractic adjustments for wellness
- Breastfeed where possible
- Vitamin D and a quality baby probiotic
- Offer nutrient-rich foods
- Encourage outdoor play
- Maintain healthy sleep routines

"Not all food allergies show up right away. ⏳

Some reactions happen in minutes — others take hours or even days to appear. That’s why your child’s eczema, tummy pain, or behaviour changes might be linked to something they ate days ago.

⚠️ Here’s the part most parents aren’t told: If your child has a non-IgE allergy and keeps eating the trigger food, their immune system can stay in ‘attack mode.’ This ongoing battle can:

Damage the gut lining

Stop the skin from healing

Delay growth and development

Make it harder for the body to calm inflammation

Removing the food early gives their gut and immune system a chance to recover — and can prevent the need for repeated antibiotics, surgeries like grommets, or worsening symptoms.

📲 Swipe through the carousel to learn:
✅ The different types of allergies in kids (IgE, IgG, IgM & non-IgE)
✅ Common food triggers
✅ Why ongoing exposure can be harmful
✅ How to start putting the pieces together

Your child’s symptoms might not be “random” — they could be a delayed clue. 🧩"

Bedwetting in kids or teens? You’re not alone. 🌙
Enuresis is more common than you think—and it’s not always behavioral.

It can be caused by:
🧠 Delayed bladder-brain signals
🛌 Deep sleep
🧬 Family history
💧 Extra urine production at night
😟 Stress or big life changes
🚽 Constipation or underlying medical issues

Most kids grow out of it—but support, understanding, and gentle care can make a big difference. 💛

As a paediatric chiropractor, I often support families navigating these challenges. Curious how chiropractic care may help with nervous system regulation, sleep, and bladder function?

🎒 Is your little one suddenly struggling with sleep since starting school?
You’re not alone—and they’re not “regressing,” they’re adjusting. 💛

Big days full of new routines, rules, friendships, and expectations can leave kids feeling overstimulated, overtired, and emotionally wobbly.
Their sleep is often the first thing to show it.

✨ Now’s the time for calm evenings, early bedtimes, and fewer after-school pressures.
Let them rest, recharge, and feel loved—because that’s what truly helps them thrive. 🛌💤

📲 Swipe through to learn what’s really going on and how to support your school starter with compassion (and fewer sleep battles!).
