Safe Herbs For Kids

Because herbal medicine is made to bring back health to a person rather than simply focusing on its cause and symptoms, it can be used for any kind of health difficulties and diseases. Professional Medical Herbalists are trained to deal with health problems which a person would usually visit and consult his/her physician, from simple coughs, colds or stomach upsets, to a more long-term problems such as rheumatism, arthritis, skin disorders, sleep problems, catarrhal problems, asthma, hay fever, menstrual difficulties and so on.

Herb teas that are bought from health food shops, supermarkets and so forth are perfectly harmless and safe, but like all medicines, herbs should always be prescribed by a qualified person such as a licensed herbalist who knows the particular needs of the patient. In professional hands, Herbal Medicine is a safe and effective method of healing and there have been no recorded cases of medicine-related mishap or incidents occurring to patients who have consulted members of The International Register of Consultant Herbalists and Homoeopaths.

Here is the list of herbs that are safe for kids:

Catnip. While its power over cats is conclusive, catnip has never been scientifically tested on humans. Still, it is often and frequently used to treat children's common ailments such as low-grade fever, upper respiratory tract infections, colic, headache, nervousness, sleep disorders, and indigestion. It also has a reputation for easing menstrual cramps and other PMS.

Chamomile. A hot cup of chamomile tea helped calm nerves, and it might also do the same thing for your child. Studies have found and recorded that chamomile is a mild sedative that seems to be safe and not toxic for children of all ages.

Echinacea. This herb flies off the shelves on the premise and hypothesis that it boosts and perks up the immune system and helps fend off colds.
