Herbs for Kids

1129ncfaphl_aa150_.jpgAs I have mentioned before when discussing vaccinations, I am not a medical doctor or an herbalist, but when my children are sick, I reach for Herbs for Kids. Herbs for Kids are liquid tinctures that children readily take. Unlike tinctures made for adults that have a grain alcohol base, Herbs for Kids uses sweet glycerin to preserve the medicinal qualities of the plants.

Not only are Herbs for Kids alcohol-free, but they are specially formulated for children, including the appropriate dosage. Founded by herbalist Sunny Mavo, Herbs for Kids is “the first company dedicated to Earth-reviving herbal health care for children”. My husband and I love these tinctures so much, that we use them for ourselves as well. Our medicine chest is always stocked with the Echinacea and Astragalus, the Cherry Bark Blend, and the Elderberry Syrup. It is important to note that herbs preserved in glycerin have a shorter shelf life than those preserved in alcohol. Glycerin tinctures are good for approximately one year.

Cold and flu season are in full force, and Herbs for Kids makes it easy to treat your child naturally and easily. My family could not live without these products, and Herbs for Kids is not just for children! These products are safe, but it is always good to consult with a doctor or a herbalist if you have any questions or concerns.

    I use them too for our kids. I feel so much better giving them herbs than medicating them all the time. I just came across the Elderberry drops and so far they are working great.

    Good review. I have been researching products for my children. At NutritionalTree.com, there are a lot of customer reviews of products like this (not this one), and some of them seem very effective while others are clearly not.

    […] Only yesterday we talked about magical Source Naturals Wellness Formula. If you are looking for a great match for health support naturally try Wellness Elderberry Liquid Extract along with it. In fact, the entire Wellness line of products is designed to support the body’s defense system when under physical stress of any kind. Featured here is Source Naturals Wellness Sambucus nigra Immune System Support Wellness Elderberry Liquid Extract and let me share that it works to heal! In fact, this medicinal extract is a potent combination of the berries and flowers of the black elder tree (Sambucus nigra). Researchers have proven that elderberries contain bioflavonoids and anthocyanins, which all positively influence cell function in a swift way! Whenever threats like flu season, allergies, or any kind of sneezy tizzy arises, elderberry works as a cell helper, rebuilder and soothing strengthener. It is especially great if you are recovering from a cold and need the extra support in healing fully. This liquid extract is easily added to a cup of hot tea. I’ve tried other brands and this one is at the top! Now this is for adults, so for kids try the tincture that is not based with alcohol but with a sweet syrup. […]
