This is an easy-to-follow, practical guide to dealing with common childhood health issues.
by Demetria Clark
Many families are finding herbal remedies to be a safer, simpler, more natural way to care for their children. With fewer side-effects than conventional medications, children often improve after just a few doses of herbal remedies — even when standard medicines have been ineffective.
This easy-to-follow, practical guide to dealing with common childhood health issues empowers parents to take control of their children’s recovery from illness, and to give them safe and effective alternatives to potent medicines.
Along with finding easy teas for a tummy ache, drops for earaches, and treatments for eczema and diaper rash, the reader will learn about commonly used herbs, why they work and what conditions they treat; how and where to buy or gather herbs, and how to preserve and store them. Clark also tells how to make their own decoctions, herbal teas, infusions and salves; gives recipes for popular remedies, so they are always available when needed; lists which herbs to always have on hand; and which can be dangerous for children.
