Introduction:

'Growing pains' can afflict toddlers, older children and adolescents, especially if they have a poor diet. I have talked to many patients who remembered suffering weeks or months of aching limbs; their parents had told them that growing pains were a normal part of growing up.

Carrot juice, homemade or shop bought, is also a good source of calcium and should be given immediately for a week, on top of daily food intake of calcium and magnesium rich plants like whole grains and dry leafy vegetables or use Superfood additionally.

Fever and muscle aches leach a large amount of nutrients from the body, not least calcium and magnesium. If this is not replenished, what began as an acute and easily rectifiable ailment can become chronic, simply due to the lack of calcium in the body. Drinking milk at this point is not recommended as its neutralization of digestive foods would make an already hampered digestive system work at an even lower level.

In addition:

Leg twitching during the night can indicate a need for calcium, magnesium and iron in children.

Herb Quality:

A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice.
