You will learn:

• Intro to Evidence Based Pediatrics at Home

  We'll kick things off with the scientific foundations of integrative health such as the chemistry of essential oils, basic pharmacognosy, pediatric toxicology, the herb-drug spectrum, and all the essentials you'll need to begin safely and effectively taking charge of your family's health. 

• Dosing & Dispensing

  Next up: everything you need to know to establish just what to give and how much to give. We'll cover child development and pharmacokinetics so that you can establish which routes of administration and dosing (how much, how often) without the frustration of endless contradictory dosing guidelines across the spectrum of natural products. 

• Symptom-Based Solutions

  So much of home health care is based on addressing nonspecific complaints. Coughing, a fever, that middle-of-the-night sore throat, a random tummy ache. In this section, you'll obtain the tools and procedures to tackle these symptoms safely and effectively. 

• Respiratory Health

  The average healthy child experiences 6-10 colds in a given year. When we add in everything from the flu to covid to RSV, that's a lot of coughing, sneezing, and stuffy noses. Fortunately, most respiratory conditions can be addressed at home–and many severe situations can be avoided with prompt, effective natural solutions. 

• Gut Health & Dermatology

  Stomach bugs, nausea, head lice, eczema... the list of conditions these two large systems face is seemingly endless, especially among children. During this week, we'll tackle these issues with botanicals, essential oils, supplements, lifestyle changes, and other low-intervention solutions that protect, rather than endanger, the two largest microbiomes in our body. 

• Infections

  Children are the largest consumers of antibiotics, yet study after study reveals that these powerful drugs are massively overused. This week covers broad-spectrum solutions for bacterial and viral infections that contribute to both healthy children and antibiotic stewardship. Whether the issue is ear infections, hand-foot-mouth, pinkeye, or any microbial, we've got you covered. 

• Bonus: Behavioral and Emotional Health

  Today's children face an onslaught of stressors as they navigate everything from social media to a volatile global environment to a myriad of new environmental toxicants. This contributes to rising rates of depression, anxiety, and an assortment of other concerns. Natural products have a powerful effect, without the addictive or disruptive outcomes often seen in potent pharmaceuticals.
