As with many health problems, GORD is not a simple problem with an easy solution. The medications for acid reflux have a poor track record, and in many cases they don't work at all. What people don't realize is that acid reflux is often a sign of poor digestion - as Hippocrates said "All disease begins in the gut". Most conventional treatments focus on symptomatic relief, which of course is a band-aid approach and overlooks the underlying causes....

You know what's better than saying "this food is good for you"? Tell them what foods do in their body! Why do I keep sharing this message? Because we keep selling our kids short labeling foods and good/bad, healthy/unhealthy. Here are some examples of messages I like for different ages⁠:
⁣⠀⁠⠀
For 2-3yo kids I usually break it down by color. Although it's not 100% accurate, it’s a good framework to get started. ⁣⠀⁠⠀
❤️ Red: gives you a strong heart⁣⠀⁠⠀
🧡 Orange: helps you see in the dark⁣⠀⁠⠀
💛Yellow: helps your body heal cuts⁣⠀⁠⠀
💚Green: gives you super powers to fight off sickness⁣⠀⁠⠀
💜💙Blue and Purple: Give you a strong brain⁣⠀⁠⠀
💟White: gives you energy⁣⠀⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 4s and 5s you can start being more specific - like carrots and sweet potatoes help you be able to see in the dark. Clementines help your skin heal cuts. Broccoli helps your night vision, your skin heal, AND your bones be strong.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 4s/5s and 6s you can introduce the idea that some foods do a lot of things in their bodies and some foods do a few things.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 6s and 7s you can introduce the concept of vitamins and minerals - tell them HOW carrots protect their night vision (via vitamin A). Learn about the body.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For 8s and 9s - learn even more about different things in foods. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And so on.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
All the while, model the way you want your kids to eat in your home and serve them the balanced diet you want them to eat. That's more powerful than anything you could ever tell them.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you need help getting your child to try new foods, my free child eating guide 🔥 From Stress to Success - 4 Ways to Help Your Child Eat Better without Losing Your Mind is in my bio ⁠.eat.in.color⁠⠀

Having been a consultant Naturopath for 28 years now, I find that one of the most common underlying complaints I see in clients – ranging from those in the corporate world to those coping with being a busy parent – is the feeling of having too much to cope with. The end result is that they feel exhausted but also irritable and on edge. [ 845 more words ]

Does this remind you of anything? We talk about the Doctrine of Signatures in a herbal medicine, where a plant looks like the condition it is used to treat. This is Bidens pilosa, a common w**d also called Farmer’s Friends or Cobbler’s Pegs. Whilst it doesn’t have antiviral action that I know of, it is one of the herbs we use to help protect the cilia of the lungs, which the Corona virus attacks.
