Actions: The four herbs in this compound
are classic folk remedies that have proven themselves to be reliable
and safe in the home healthcare of babies and small children. The collective
actions of these herbs are: antibacterial and antiviral, anti-inflammatory,
carminative, antispasmodic, gently sedative, mildly astringent, soothingly
expectorant, and best of all, they taste good.
Uses: Although not a panacea, this compound can be helpful
in most ordinary health problems of children. It is indicated in feverish
conditions (colds, flu, coughs, etc.); diarrhea, upset
tummy and colic; and as a gentle sedative
for the fretting and peevishness associated with teething
or other irritating or nervous conditions. It can also
help in treating infant jaundice.
Dose: Serving size is 1 drop per 4 pounds of child’s
body weight (e.g.,10 drops for a 40- pound child). Give two to five
servings per day mixed in water or juice.
For feverish conditions, drops are best taken in hot water in order
to induce a sweat – otherwise take with room-temperature water.
Adjunct Therapy: The addition of 5 to 15 drops of Echinacea
Extract or Echinacea Glycerite to each dose of the above is recommended
in any infection, especially if there is fever.
Cautions: There are no known contraindications to this
compound, although one must be very careful not to let the child get
chilled if sweating. This compound is not a substitute for professional
healthcare. If fever, pain or other symptoms are severe or persistent,
promptly consult a qualified healthcare practitioner.
