EXPERTS URGE AUSSIE PARENTS TO 'BE PREPARED" FOR ONSLAUGHT OF AUSSIE WINTER HEALTH WOES
Take advantage of treatment options for kids 'beyond the bottle"
As the weather turns cold and crisp, and health experts are predicting a wicked winter of illnesses, Aussie parents are being urged to proactively prepare for the inevitable onslaught of coughs, colds and runny noses.
Parents will naturally visit their pharmacy or supermarket for Cough & Cold medicines during the winter months, but are unlikely to look further for suitable, effective complementary treatments simply because they are not aware they exist.
Pharmacist and Medical Herbalist, Gerald Quigley, says Aussie parents should be made aware of all the options they have to ease snuffles, coughs and breathing difficulties for their children as the weather turns cold.
'As a pharmacist, I know that traditional medicines can help to ease the pain, irritation and discomfort little people have when the dreaded winter woes hit. But I also know parents are increasingly on the look-out for natural, non-invasive ways to ease symptoms where possible – sometimes getting children to take medicine can be as traumatic as the symptoms themselves!"
'For example, mums and dads know that getting a good night's sleep is fundamental to their child's recovery from any respiratory-related illness. So a logical complementary treatment to inhalers and medicines such as ntihistamines and cold and flu syrups could be the Salin Plus salt therapy device."
Salin Plus is a salt therapy device that's creating a revolution in respiratory health in Australia, by reducing the frequency and severity of associated symptoms such as blocked sinuses, constant coughs, congestion, plus hay fever with the simplicity of salt.
Salin Plus is the only salt therapy device in the world suitable for use at home, and works by replicating the 'micro climate" found in salt caves, by removing air borne pollutants and enriching the air with salt ions, bringing the therapeutic benefits of salt-ionised air right under – and into – the noses and lungs of all Australians.
It's suitable for children from babies to teenagers, is easy to use thanks to its noninvasive nature, requires minimal maintenance and has quiet operating levels – very important when trying to get little people to sleep!
Gerald Quigley's Top Tips to help Aussie parents beat the winter woes, brought to you by Salin Plus
1. Keep watch on how your child 'looks and feels" – don't focus on any one symptom
2. Ensure adequate fluid intake, especially room temperature water
3. Try a slightly elevated sleeping position, which can help with blocked noses
4. When administering cold and flu medications to children, including ibuprofen and paracetamol, always check the dosage on the bottle and stick to the recommended regime e.g. every 6-8 hours
5. Consider options that are 100% natural and non-invasive such as Salin Plus, to complement any traditional medicines and treatments to get your little ones better.
