Using Herbs with Children

Herbs are powerful healing helpers, beneficial in small doses for children.  Even newborns can benefit from herbs when taken by mom and dosed through the breast milk.  Herbs can soothe colic, reduce growing pains, support healthy immunity, and help with anxiety and restlessness.  Teething babies can benefit from herbal popsicles or cold compresses infused in herbal tea.  And herbs can offer nutritive support for all ages.

Children who receive herbs are more likely to offer herbs to their own children when they are grown.  Herbs are one aspect of self reliance and freedom that is available to all.
