They healed my daughter’s eczema in 2 weeks (by finding the root cause, her leaky gut!) which regular doctors haven’t been able to do for 5 years! We love well-rooted!!
Did you know? ✈️ Pilots cannot fly for 60 hours after taking Benadryl.
It causes significant cognitive impairment and sedative effects, yet parents and doctors frequently give it to infants and children of all ages for everything from sneezing and sniffles to help with sleep.
Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) can cause lingering confusion and impairment of motor skills even after the initial effects have worn off. If pilots are not allowed to fly for 60 hours after taking it, how can you expect your child to perform in school or sports?
It can even cause seizures or cardiac arrythmias in young or sensitive children… it’s just not worth it when there are many other, better options nowadays.
And the negative cognitive effects are not just temporary either, unfortunately…
⚠️ Diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl and many other products like Tylenol PM, Simply Sleep, Unisom, ZzzQuil, Simply Right Sleep Aid, and Equate Nighttime Sleep Aid can lead to serious health problems, including dementia, later on down the line.
Diphenhydramine is considered to be in two classes of drugs: antihistamines and anticholinergics. Antihistamines are used to treat allergy symptoms such as rashes, runny noses, and sneezing. Anticholinergic drugs are used for a wider variety of conditions including incontinence, sleep problems, and motion sickness.
A 2015 study, led by a researcher from the University of Washington, found that people who take Benadryl regularly are more likely to develop dementia as they age. The study also found that the more frequently a person took these medications, the more likely they were to develop the condition.
Think about the long term effects if we begin dosing in childhood and continue use of this drug throughout adulthood…
People tend to think that over-the-counter drugs are safer since they are more readily available, but this isn’t necessarily true because these drugs are not often tested for long-term effects over a long enough period of time before they are sold.
Play it safe and avoid these drugs except in cases of true emergency. If you or your child have allergies, trouble sleeping, motion sickness, incontinence or other health concerns where these drugs are commonly recommended, there are safer ways of coping than loading up on antihistamines and anticholinergics. Speak with your healthcare provider if you have concerns or questions.

2nd opinion was more than what I expected. I not only was able to explain symptoms but also get educated on how to resolve the issue. So so worth the drive as we live 1 hour away. I highly recommend them and Victoria was a pleasure to get help from.
Valerie is absolutely amazing!!! Our family feels so blessed to have been able to work with her. My son was diagnosed with Vitiligo, and with Valerie’s direction we have seen such a change in him. We were provided with so much information and finally have hope!
We love Victoria. She listens to any concerns or questions, doesn’t push any agendas, cares for our baby gently with confidence, patience, and respect. I recommend well rooted to any parents looking for a natural professional care for their babies.
Jessica, since we started seeing you I loved how you’ve always fought for our daughter’s. You’ve seen us thru some scary times but ALWAYS place our daughter’s first and that’s why when you moved we decided to follow you. You’re awesome and my daughter’s don’t trust anyone else but you. Continue doing you Jessica, you’re awesome!
