Does your child frequently get colds, coughs or sore throats?  Are you concerned about the number of times they have been prescribed an antibiotic, or anti-pyretics for a temperature?    An antibiotic is not effective for a viral infection, yet there are not many options on offer if you do make the visit to the GP.

Herbal medicine has many safe and gentle options suitable for little ones.  If given at an early stage of infection, many herbs can resolve these common ailments and help your child build and strengthen their immune system.  Herbal medicine is gentle on the digestive system and does  not affect the gut flora in the way antibiotics and steriods often do.  Herbs are versatile and have a gentle action, many with powerful ant-vral and anti-bacterial properties that resolve respiratory and other infections.  Learn about how to use herbs for your family with this easy to follow booklet.  I detail many ways to make your own remedies and list some of the ‘stars’ of the plant world for children and babies.  Booklet available now.  email [email protected]
