Melania Trump says ‘gift of nature’ can heal children

Melania Trump has shared her insights about health and well-being, saying “gift of nature” can heal children. The comment comes amid US President Donald Trump’s efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

The first lady recently met with doctors and patients at the Children's National Health System. Marie Claire shares that the FLOTUS has planted seeds with sick children and talked about "how the gift of nature and the beauties of the outdoors can contribute to the healing process."

Based on as statement released by the hospital, Melania described herself as a “passionate believer” in taking advantage of the nature's elements in order to create a warm, nurturing, and positive environment. Several natural remedies are not required to be tested or approved by the FDA.

The first lady said she believes that the nature can be an instrument for an improved health and well-being of children. "It is important to me that children can recognise, identify and express their feelings in order to promote their mental wellness and healing process,” Melania said.

On Tuesday, March 2, Melania expressed gratitude on Twitter for the experience. “Thank you for welcoming me @ChildrensHealth. My prayers and thoughts are with all of the children and families. #GROWUPSTRONGER,” she wrote. Former FLOTUS Michelle Obama also visited the hospital in December.

During his speech in November, the president promised to fix Obamacare by following free market principles to for a more affordable and improved quality of healthcare for all Americans. Jessica Gregory, a Children’s National patient, was invited during the president’s joint address to Congress.

The FLOTUS also read a book to children at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. She picked Dr. Seuss’ “Oh, The Places You’ll Go!,” which she said was one of her favourites.

Melania took her role with the lowest favourability ratings among any modern first lady. In a Gallup poll released in January, thirty-seven percent of the public had a favourable view of the new FLOTUS while the same percentage gave her an unfavourable rating.

Former White House social secretary Ann Stock said taking the role as first lady evolves over time. “Each first lady takes on the role and makes it their own. That evolves over time. First [priority] for every president and first lady is settling in their family,” she told Washington Post. Obama, Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton each had a favourability rating above 55 per cent when they assumed the same role.
