Can childen take herbal medicine?
Yes, at a reduced dose, children and even babies can benefit from the healing properties of herbs. For very young babies, there are safer ways than taking the herbs orally — such as putting an infusion in the bath, or giving the herbs to the mother to take, if she is breast-feeding. Herbal medicine can be very beneficial to help children to achieve good health that will then serve them for their whole life, as it removes the cause of illness and thus heals the child, rather than only treating symptoms, which allows the illness to continue, and necessitates the child taking long term medication.
