Imagine saying you “enjoy” convalescence nowadays 🙈!! I think friends & family would think we’ve gone “off” a bit after our illness. We live in an “always on” world where taking time out often makes us feel guilty or weak. However the convalescent period - a time recuperate & heal after illness was both recognised & accepted as part & parcel of life by our grandparents.
.
My school Home Economics textbook has numerous recipes & care advice for convalescents (showing my age now 😅!) But taking care of ourselves after illness is now something of a lost art.
.
Convalescence, Long Covid, Post viral fatigue - whatever label you use, refers to that “grey area” between illness & wellness.
.
It can be frustrating for both sufferers and their loved ones when health fails to bounce back as rapidly as we’d like. But letting go of expectations & embracing the process can be the first step to recovery.
.
Yesterday I shared some self-care tips, so today here’s some very basic nutritional advice to help nurture yourself while you heal.
.
In a nutshell:
.
Eat nutritious, appealing foods while you are recovering.
.
Little & often is fine if you’re appetite isn’t great. It’s not uncommon to have poor appetite.
.
Stay hydrated - an electrolyte drink can be good for short term use if you are weak & dehydrated or you have diarrhoea/night sweats.
.
Nutritious smoothies & juices are another good option.
.
A broad spectrum multivitamin can be hugely helpful to increase appetite & energy - halving recovery time according to some studies.
.
Zinc can help with persistent loss of smell & taste for some.
.
Finally if you’d had antibiotics, a course of probiotics will get your gut back in order
.
Tomorrow I’ll share some information on how homeopathy can help with #longcovidrecovery

Sudden Barky Cough?
.
🤒 Croup is very common in children this time of year & can be quite distressing for you & your child.
.
🛑 It’s important to remember that croup can lead to breathing difficulties in babies & small children so any prescribed medications should be continued. But there are some things you can do to help your child 👶
.
☁️ Steam can help relieve symptoms & soften the cough.
Run the shower to stram up your bathroom, close the door & sit with your child in the steam for 10-15 mins. Some pharmacies rent steam vaporisers & these can be great to keep the air moist while your child sleeps.
.
There is also a group of homeopathic remedies that are pure gold to have to hand if your child is prone to croup.
.
Here they are with indications:
.
1) Aconite
.
Take at onset of the barky cough (usually at night!) & repeat as needed for up to 48hrs
.
2) Spongia
.
Switch to Spongia if the cough becomes deeper/more barky but is still dry.
.
3) Hepar Sulph
.
If the cough softens & turns ‘mucousy’, switch to Hepar to clear the mucous
.
(Spongia is not available OTC, contact me via my FB page Fermoy Homeopathy to enquire)
