Kids and Herbal Medicine

Kids and Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine can be very useful in common childhood illness.  It can be used as a tea, cream or even a gummy.  It is also a very specialised area and should not be undertaken by someone who is not familiar with the child dose formulas.  

I personally love using teas (cooled down of course) and creams to treat common childhood illness, as I have found them better tolerated by the child.  

For nappy rash, I like to use topically Calendula, Pau d’arco, Propolis. Bring instant relief to the baby, and is all-natural no chemicals. 

As a natural practitioner, it is very important to be extremely vigilant before prescribing anything to a minor.  A nutritionist is very good and helping you with that fussy eater, making sure they are getting all the appropriate nutrition needed for their growing bodies.
