Some call it “luck”
Some call it “growing out of it”
We called it “choose your hard”
We knew getting Finn’s body to heal was not going to be easy, here we are 2.5 years later skin conditions free.
We worked hard to control his diet
We worked hard to limit contact with toxins, either through foods or cleaning products (bath and household)
We worked on gut health and allowing his body to thrive and do what it naturally knows how to; we just gave him the environment and support it needed.
To this day we don’t know why his eczema happened, as we already had a ‘healthy’ lifestyle. (So we thought)
What we have learnt on this journey, is that we could be doing better.
Although initially making these adjustments was hard, now it’s just part of our normal living.
- buying natural products- bath, teeth, cleaning
- supporting skin health with our beef tallow and natural products
- focusing on whole foods diet
- movement, sun, grounding
- reducing stress and refined sugars
- natural fibres for clothing, bedding
- supplements where necessary
- education constantly and trials/experiments for what works for us.
There isn’t a one solution fix for all.
We can’t control everything, but we try way more often than not.
Using beef tallow was a major support in Finn’s healing and our family’s over all health changes.
I’m not a Doctor and I don’t want to be. The idea of prescribing drugs to treat symptoms, was not how we wanted to heal our Son.
We worked on root causes and supporting his whole system, so that his body could heal itself 🥰
I appreciate our medical system for acute treatment, but long term health, we are 100% taking into our own hands.
My unsolicited advice- if you’ve tried something and a symptom keeps returning, you’re just using a ‘band aid approach’ and focus needs to be towards root causes and over all whole body health. It’s not easy making changes, especially when ‘it’s the way it’s always been done’.
We must choose for our children,
Everything is hard, choose your hard.
Yours in great health,
