herbal infusion recipes for children?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

i am wanting to start herbal infusions for myself, and would love to be able to give the same infusion to my 2.5 yr old. we are wanting to make another baby in the next couple of months, so i am looking for an all around nourisher and tonic. i've heard of the following herbs and they seem promising:)

 

-nettle

-red clover

-horsetail

-oatstraw

-rosehips

-hibiscus

 

thoughts?

anything unsafe for children?  

anything im missing that might be useful for either of us?

can i combine all of these or is it not as nourishing?

 

please help!  i am turning in circles daily on the internet trying to figure out how to do this thing so many people have been doing for centuries!!:)

I am sort of in the same boat (I would like to TTC next year though) and would love it if my DD had some herbal infusions through food.
