where to find info on child herbs

[justice'smom]

I am tired of feeling like I am at a loss when my kids get sick. I have a book that gives the idea of some herbs when your child has mumps, cp, measles, and that kind of thing, but don't have any info for virus or common cold type stuff. Is there a book or website out there that can give me some info on types of herbs to use for children or adults even?

Here in this forum there's the Herbal Mama's Healing thread

I like Rosemary Gladstar's Family Herbal and Prescription for Herbal Healing by Phyllis Balch.

Good article: Herbal Remedies for Children.

Also, you can generally get specific advice right here by posting your questions.

Rosemary Gladstar has a great herbal book for the whole family that I LOVE! You can also go online to certain herbal companys and look at what childrens products they have and go from there based on symptoms.
