When a child comes down with measles, it can be overwhelming especially for parents who prefer natural options. The good news? There are gentle, supportive ways to care for measles at home using homeopathy, herbs, and key nutrients.

In this post, we’ll walk through a natural measles protocol to help you feel informed, empowered, and calm should your family need it. 

What Is Measles?

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness marked by fever, fatigue, runny nose, cough, sore eyes, and a characteristic red rash that usually spreads from the face down the body.

While most children recover without complications, measles can take a toll on the body. Supporting the immune system during this time is key and with homeopathy, we can support healing using the body's natural processes, rather than suppress symptoms.
