Women and Children:Natural remedies Safe herbs for Children and babies

Children : Helpful Herbs :Related: Herbal Remedies 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.

Home Remedies for Children

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.
