Natural Therapies for Children with Alopecia: A Parent's Guide
In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET podcast, VJ dives deep into understanding alopecia in children and explores creative, natural strategies to help support their health and well-being. Alopecia can be a challenging condition, particularly for children, leading not only to hair loss but also to feelings of self-consciousness, anxiety, and withdrawal from social activities.
Join VJ as she discusses how seemingly unrelated childhood illnesses can impact gut health and lead to nutrient deficiencies, which may trigger autoimmune conditions like alopecia. She'll uncover the vital connection between the gut, immune system, and hair health, and how a child's overall well-being can be supported through natural approaches.
VJ will also share practical, fun ideas to help children engage with their health journey—like making probiotic ice lollies, mixing nutrient powders into their favorite foods, having relaxing Epsom salt baths, and sneaking veggies into tasty meals.
Plus, VJ will address how withdrawal and anxiety can play a role in a child's health, and offer compassionate strategies to help them open up, feel supported, and rebuild their confidence.
Tune in for actionable tips and inspiring ideas to help your child thrive, naturally!
