This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth and Rupa Health.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Elisa Song to discuss the best practices for approaching fevers and sickness in children. Dhru and Dr. Elisa discuss the top mistakes parents make when their child has a fever, why fever reducers can prolong infection, natural ways to support your child when they have a fever with hydration and homeopathic and herbal medicines, and the top diet mistakes you’re making when your child has a cold or flu.
Dr. Song is an integrative pediatrician, pediatric Functional Medicine expert, and mama. In her integrative pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she’s helped thousands of kids get to the root causes of their health concerns and helped their parents understand how to help their children thrive in body, mind, and spirit by integrating conventional pediatrics with Functional Medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils.
Dr. Song created Healthy Kids Happy Kids, an online holistic pediatric resource to help practitioners and parents bridge the gap between conventional and integrative pediatrics with an evidence-based, pediatrician-backed approach.
