    How We Treat the Flu in Our Kids Naturally

    February 1, 2025 / No Comments

    I’m writing this post during a special moment—we’ve just recovered from the flu, and for me, it was the hardest one I’ve ever experienced. As usual, our children handled it much better. Their illness lasted only two days, during which they slept a lot and had a mild fever. My eldest son is now four years old and has never taken any medication, while my younger son has had antibiotics only once. From the beginning, we have chosen to treat them naturally, using herbs, homeopathy, vitamins, and a health-supporting diet. When I was a child, every infection meant antibiotics and syrups from the doctor, along with sweets from family members…

    “The flu fighters”- @Patrick Holford’s book on natural flu and covid treatments.

    January 29, 2025 / No Comments

    In this article, we will explore @Patrick Holford’s book “Flu Fighters.” While the book is not specifically targeted at pregnant women, its approach can still provide valuable inspiration. However, it is essential to consult with a doctor or naturopath before making any decisions or taking action. @Patrick Holford is a well-known author of 44 books translated into 30 languages and the founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition. His work is based on over 50 studies that confirm the effectiveness of proper nutrition in combating viral infections.

    Aromatherapy During Pregnancy and Postpartum

    January 11, 2025 / No Comments

    If you read my blog regularly, you know how important it is to avoid artificial fragrances at home, especially during pregnancy. If this is your first time here, I invite you to check out my previous post, where I discuss this topic in detail. Aromatherapy, which uses concentrated plant essential oils, can be quite controversial during pregnancy. The main reason for this is that conducting medical experiments on pregnant women is considered unethical. Consequently, most research relies on observations made on animals. While essential oils can offer numerous benefits, some studies indicate that certain oils may have toxic effects on the reproductive system. Therefore, it is essential to use essential…

    Paracetamol in Infancy and Childhood: Hidden Risks to Brain Development

    January 2, 2025 / No Comments

    Paracetamol, known as acetaminophen in the USA, is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. In the USA, it is commonly sold under the brand name Tylenol, while in the UK, it is marketed as Calpol. It is frequently administered to infants and children and is widely available, as recommended by the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. As a result, nearly every household has it in their medicine cabinet. However, emerging evidence suggests that the use of paracetamol early in life may lead to long-term neurological issues. Paracetamol and Toxicity While paracetamol can cause liver damage in adults, studies indicate that its use during early childhood may…

    How to Replace Carcinogenic Fragrances at your Home

    November 2, 2024 / No Comments

    As long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated by beautiful scents. Even in elementary school, I used to sneak my mom’s perfume, carefully hidden in the closet under her clothes. Scented lip balms and relaxing bubble baths were my little rituals. At drugstores, I would always choose cosmetics based on their scent. I trusted the promises made by the manufacturers. I ignored the ingredient lists that seemed incomprehensible to me. Does a beautiful scent equal a healthy home? I loved it when my home smelled nice. Air fresheners were a standard – in the bathroom, living room, and sometimes even the bedroom. Plus, candles created a special atmosphere…
