Description
This blend contains herbs which support the body's antiviral capabilities. The Vi in Vi Protection Blend stands for virus. Viruses, including the common cold, flu, chicken pox, and measles are often not treatable. Antiviral herbs do not attack viruses per se. Instead they make it difficult for viruses to infect cells. The herbs in Vi Protection Blend are immune stimulants as well as being antiviral. Vi BlendT is one of Herbs for Kids most delicious blends.
"Vi Blend is my favorite Herbs for Kids Echinacea blend. It has saved me from an on-coming cold many times." - Julianne T., Stellacom, WA
Viral illnesses include the common cold, influenza (the 'flu bug'), measles, mups, rubella, croup, viral pneumonia. Viruses are profoundly difficult for modern medicine to treat, as viral replication in human cells is often devious, evasive and frequently untreatable by antibiotics. Unquestionably, a child with a viral illness should be observed carefully by both parent and practitioner, but prescription medications to dull the symptoms could acutally depress the immune response rather than speeding recovery.
Symptoms of viral illness: Should be diagnosed by a naturopathic or medical doctor. Symptoms can include fatigue, lethargy, low-grade fever, clear, white or gray nasal secretions, croupy cough and more.

What an honor it is for each of us to be involved in children's health care! To be allowed to participate in such a vital part of a child's growth is certainly one of the greatest satisfactions we could ever receive. Sharing the age-old tradition of using healing plants to nourish and soothe an ailing child is not only a health care decision; it's an art, an act of environmental commitment, a quest for more information, a pledge towards a gentler, simpler and more affordable way of life. Teaching children to appreciate remedies that come from the garden is one simple step towards the lifestyle we all yearn for, and can be the hands-on approach to taking part in our own health care that is our birthright.
Herbal medicine must be used wisely. We are fortunate to live in a time when excellent technological treatments are available for major health challenges. We must now be willing to learn what our limitations are, and what the limitations of modern medicine are. As parents and herbal educators, we must co-operate, in the finest sense of the word, with our medical practitioners: listening carefully to our doctors' good advice, learning from them as we see them learning from us and creating a partnership of trust that includes the safe use of herbs. Keep in mind that herbal remedies are gentle yet strong, and must be used 3 - 5 times per day for results.
Life moves quickly in these times of change. A child's illness is often an invitation to slow down, rest, play and to be loved. Be sure to listen to their message. Trust the plants.
