Chicken Pox

I think this is a good time to teach the child about how to VISUALIZE its immune system. I did this by describing the phagocytes as creatures which engulf even smaller creatures, as the soldiers in his body which receive their orders from his/her brain, the General, so that if the invader looks like taking hold, the General should issue orders to increase the number of soldiers in the area.

MICHAEL SAID TO GO TO THE BEACH FOR A SWIM AS THIS RELIEVED HIS ITCH FOR A FEW HOURS.

Also it is a good time to teach about pain tolerance. As we know life involves pain, so the more the child understands pain the better he/she can handle it throughout life. We used deep breathing and relaxation mainly to relieve the ANXIETY related to the pain. Pain in the body is dealt with faster if the brain is not using all its energy on anxiety.

An acute viral disease with mild symptoms and a skin eruption called varicella. It usually begins with a slight fever, at which time you would give a cup of warm lemon and honey drink with a tincture or a herbal tea to reduce the fever. Other natural remedies here would be AROMATHERAPY. headache, backache, and other physical aches & pains maybe delt with using lemon balm, oats, lime blossom, valerian, again here see the PAIN FORMULA formula as there are too many to list here. Small red spots appear on the back and chest first, but other "crops" may appear on the arms, legs and face. The spots fill up with a clear fluid and a blister forms. After a day or two the fluid turns yellow and a crust or scab forms.
