Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease is a common viral illness that typically affects children but can spread to adults and is characterized by sores in the mouth along with a rash on the hands and feet; commonly found around the diaper area as well. Viral is important to know here because I like to keep a handful of herbs and tinctures on hand to combat anything viral. 

My kids are constantly at the park, play groups, church groups, and more and we have been able to avoid a full blown outbreak. We suspect that Zsa Zsa and Evander (Leighton avoided it all together) after coming in direct contact with a few families who had it. It never got worse than a few spots in our house and I believe it was because 1. I am always working to give them a strong system to be able to withstand anything they might come in contact with and 2. I immediately started an antiviral protocol (see details below).

As with most things I believe a proactive approach with a healthy immune system is best. 

A supportive protocol can include a combination of options below. I would personally feel comfortable mix and matching any of these that I had on hand if we got hit with HFM: (you can find my exact protocol below, I went with this because it is what I had on hand and I wanted to act quickly). 

Orally: VerVita Klenz+ Found Here, VerVita Immune Rmor Found Here, Olive Leaf Supreme Found Here

Topically: Woad Supreme Found Here mixed with castor oil my favorite FOUND HERE or tallow my favorite FOUND HERE to make a healing paste and added topically to sores. I personally never had to do this because my kids never got it that bad but I have this noted protocol from some of my favorite natural doctors.

Black Walnut Supreme Found Here applied topically (I also use this topically for bites and stings and this is something I always have on hand. Its good orally for kids for parasites cleanse as well.)

Baths with Elite Harmony Oil found here combined with Epsom salt. I DID do this with my kids and I think this helped a ton!!! I added Epsom salt with ten drops of Elite Harmony Oil to a bath for a healing soak. Can also add in Immune Harmony oil too.

So to recap my exact approach was immediately giving them Elite Harmony Baths, and giving them Klenz+ and Immune Rmor Orally (I put it in smoothies or apple sauce) and Black Walnut orally. 

Any of the above (and below) products, combining an internal and a topical  would make a great protocol to combat HFM. 

Shoot me a DM or email if you have any questions and remember this isnt medical advice, this is just what I do for my family.
