Using Herbs for Children
There are many herbs that are gentle enough to use in treating babies and children. However I recommend you consult a qualified herbalist, and get good reference books to guide you.

| General dosage Guideline
When using herbs and essential oils for children, always double check the safety of the herb first. For children under the age of 13, reduce dosages to half that of an adult dose, and continue to reduce by age and weight.

Using Aromatherapy
Chamomile and Lavender are the first of the essential oils that come to mind in treating children. Remember that small bodies are much more sensitive than grown up ones, take care to test aromatherapy oils for adverse reactions before use.

Caraway For: Colic, children |
 Profile
| Distilled Caraway water is considered a useful remedy in the flatulent colic of infants, and is an excellent vehicle for children's medicine. When sweetened, its flavour is agreeable. One ounce of the bruised seeds infused for 6 hours in a pint of cold water makes a good Caraway julep for infants, from 1 to 3 teaspoons full being given for a dose.

Dill Water For: Colic, infant flatulence |
 Profile
| Like the other umbelliferous fruits and volatile oils, both the herb dill and the oil of Dill plants possess stimulant, carminative and stomachic properties, making them of considerable medicinal value. Dill Water, which is a common domestic remedy for the flatulence of infants is a useful vehicle for children's medicine generally. Maud Grieve, Modern Herbal Vol 1 (1931) | |

Spearmint For: Gas, children |
 Profile
| Spearmint relieves gas and tummy troubles, much like peppermint, but its effects are less powerful, making it better suited for use in children. | |
