Ep. 137 – Preparing for & Healing After Surgeries & Scans

There's more you can do. When your child needs a scan or surgery, most of your attention naturally goes toward the procedure itself. You're thinking about the results, what the doctors will find, and simply getting through it. But what about supporting their body through the process? In this episode, I'm sharing what you can consider before, during, and after scans and surgeries to help prepare the body and support recovery. We'll talk about the differences between CT scans and MRIs, contrast exposure, hydration and drainage support, and practical ways to think about recovery after imaging. I'll also walk through foundational ways to prepare for and heal after surgery, while explaining why every protocol needs to be individualized. And because the impact isn't only physical, we'll talk about scan anxiety, the stress of repeated surveillance, and questions you can bring to your medical team when considering your options. This isn't about avoiding a scan or surgery that you or your child needs. It's about understanding how to support the body before, through, and after necessary medical care.   LINKS: Recommended Tools & Resources: Pre- & Post-Surgery Immune Essential Oil Blend Season uses a combination of Frankincense, Lemon, On Guard, Oregano, and Tea Tree essential oils as part of her integrative approach to supporting immune health before and after surgery.
