3 Easy Ways to Keep Kids Well
Rug them up and let them loose.
Ready or not, autumn is here. I always love the feeling of getting back into a rhythm after the beautiful chaos of summertime. A cozy sweater, a slight chill in the evening, and the promise of soup season all help me relinquish my grip on summer days.
But if your kids are running a bit ragged heading into the cooler days, you’re not alone 🖐️.
The good news? Artemis is here with all natural ways to support your little ones, so you can rug them up and let them loose.
Here are three easy ways that we love to help keep kids well through autumn and beyond.
1. For daily calm
Butterflies in the stomach around the daily school or kindy routine are super common. And, there are some beautiful ways to support your kiddos daily so they feel calm and collected as they don their backpacks.
Plants have been used for centuries to support daily calm in children. Chamomile is the quintessential kids herb, an effective yet gentle calming plant. Useful for supporting stress, tension, and sleep.
Passionflower is a well-known plant for supporting an overworked nervous system, and Lavender is an effective plant to help minimise worry and nervousness as well as support the body’s response to stress.
Used for daily support, these plants will help your kiddo ease into the transition of back to school, and before you know it, they’ll be trading croc charms and asking you to buy into the latest school trend, no stress at all.
2. For thriving immune health
You know the saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”? Well, this is definitely the case when it comes to keeping your kiddos ahead of the dreaded lurgy.
Daily immune support is the way to go to ensure your kids have the best chance at keeping well. In fact, we believe in the “daily” part of this so strongly that we have renamed our award-winning and bestselling Kid’s ViroGone TM to Kid’s ViroGone TM Daily.
Expertly formulated specifically for kids, Kid’s ViroGone TM Daily and Kid’s ViroGone TM Daily Spray support the maintenance of a healthy immune system.
Harnessing the power of Central Otago Thyme, scientifically researched for its unique and potent bioactive properties, and blended with other carefully selected immune and respiratory-supporting herbs such as Echinacea, Elderflower, and Licorice, Kid’s ViroGone TM Daily liquid or spray are your daily go-tos for little immune systems.

3. Troubleshoot as needed
Of course, it won’t all be smooth sailing. Stress, sleep interruptions and bugs are all a normal and expected part of life and growing up.
But here are a few ways that you can help your kiddos get through the hiccups with a bit more ease.
Sleep
It can be challenging to get into a good sleep routine, and as parents I know you are looking at the upcoming clock change with anticipation (or *cough* dread).
Support your kiddos to have a restful and restorative sleep with Kid’s Settle & Sleep. The same formula that helps support calm days can also support calm and restful nights as the plants help to ease worries and relax the mind and body so your little ones can drift off peacefully and wake up happy and rested in the morning – the dream for all parents!
Ills and chills
The good news is that if you have taken up the mantle of daily immune support, then you already have a great tool in your pocket for the first sign of ills and chills.
Kid’s ViroGone TM Daily liquid or spray can be used at a more frequent dose to support the body’s immune response at the first sign of ills and chills. Always read the label and use as directed, of course.
But if symptoms do progress and your little one is feeling it in their chest, then Kid’s Chest Relief is here to provide support for tight, dry and tickly airways, to soothe and protect the chest, and to support easy breathing. With an option for Day and one for Night that also helps to provide support for calm and restorative sleep.
If your little one is sounding a bit more phlegmy, then Kid’s BronchiClear TM is support for clearing mucus and providing deep acting lung support.
Bonus tip: Grown ups need support, too.
As a Medical Herbalist, plant formulas have played a part in my life for many years and my daughter has had them her whole life. Writing articles like this are as much a reminder to me as they are ideas for you – we will be taking all the products listed above and I’ll be stocking up on the De-Stress and Sleep Restore Sprays for myself as well. I suggest you do the same!
Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist, see your health professional. Artemis Ltd, Auckland, NZ.
