If you have children, it is almost time for them to start school in NYC, while some schools around the United States have started weeks ago!
A new year is exciting and full of promise. Besides homework, children can also bring home germs and illness. Taking preventative care is important during the school year, as well as during the changes in the season. Acupuncture can be beneficial for the whole family. Acupressure, herbal steams such as eucalyptus, herbal tinctures and teas, vitamins, a proper diet, limiting sugar intake (it weakens the immune system), hydration, and adequate sleep can all positively affect kids’ immune systems. Don’t forget the simple things, like thorough hand washing!
We must do what we can to make transitions as stress-free as possible on our children and on ourselves. No one wants to be sick.
Be healthy, be happy.
