Product Description
From Library Journal
The popularization of herbal therapy has produced a bounty of general resources, but few recent works focus on the child. Medicinal herb enthusiasts and alternative-minded parents can now turn to this guide for help in home-based herbal treatments. Unlike other similar resources, this easy-to-read book is written by a physician and a certified herbalist. The authors are careful to stress the importance of the complementary nature of herbal therapy, and each chapter includes a highlighted section indicating when a doctor should be consulted. In addition to chapters on common childhood health conditions, the book includes introductory material on preparation and dosage guidelines, taste ratings for each herb, and preventive health strategies, as well as a glossary and resource list. Herbal recipes and highlighted health tips accompany the general information presented, all of which is referenced by an impressive array of clinical research articles. Recommended for public libraries and consumer health collections.AAndy Wickens, Univ. of Illinois-Chicago Lib. of the Health Sciences

Useful but lacking info on older babies,
This review is from: Kids, Herbs & Health: A Practical Guide to Natural Remedies (Paperback)
This book has been very useful for me and my 4 children. I found the subject of the use of herbs with children broad, but lacking for children under 1 year. The many tips and recipes were wonderful and easy; the charts were helpful, and the "when to see your Dr" was especially useful.I give it 4 stars for lacking matter for older babies and also because it is very pro-vaccination and there's almost a bias against those that choose against doing so. However, the mention is minimal, so if you can overlook the few mentions of the vaccination issue this is a very wonderfully written and useful book.

An excellent book on kids' health,
By "lucies" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids, Herbs & Health: A Practical Guide to Natural Remedies (Paperback)
As a mother of a 14-month old, I have used this book numerous times. It is a life-saver for someone who is not intersted in feeding their kids antibiotics at the first sign of sickness. I have found all the answers to all of my questions about my daughter's health, starting with how to correctly evaluate fever to natural remedies for vomitting. The book is very well organized -it's easy to find answers to any common medical questions one could have. I feel so good about treating my daughter the natural way - I know it is so much better for her in the long run. This book is a must have for any parent who is interested in natural ways to promote and keep their child's health.

By Tammera J. Karr B.S. H.N. (Idleyld Park, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids, Herbs & Health: A Practical Guide to Natural Remedies (Paperback)
After reviewing this book from the prespective of a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, I believe this to be an invaluable resource for those who have children in their homes. It is full of common sense information that will help parents in protecting their children's health without compromising it due to unnecissary drugs.
