What is the proper dosage of liquid herbal extracts for children?
Unless otherwise noted, all doses given in this manual are for adults, but Clark’s Rule can be used to convert the adult dose to a child’s dose. Clark’s Rule Divide the child’s weight (in pounds) by 150 to get the approximate fraction of the adult dose to give to the child. Example: For a 50 pound child give 50/150 (or 1/3) of the adult dose. Therefore, if the adult dose is 30 drops taken 3 times per day, the child’s dose will be 10 drops taken 3 times per day (not 30 drops taken 1 time per day).
