5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for parents!, Aug 16 2001

By	unhappy customer "syber_moonlight" (Tallahassee, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This is a great book which overviews the gentler herbs which can be safely used with children. Unlike many herbals, this book gives precise dosage guidelines for children by weight and age, AND, more importantly, precise recipes for salves, poultices, teas, syrups, and other forms in which herbs can safely (and easily) be administered to children, including which herbs can be safely mixed and which cannot.

The recipes are classified by illness/symptom, and there is a short section which discusses a holistic approach to not only treating illness/infection/problems, but also preventing future problems. There is also a brief section which overviews the characteristics of commonly used herbs (for children). I use this book with my children almost every week. Without a doubt, Gladstar is one of the best, and this is a must-have for anyone hoping to use herbal remedies with children. It is a serious book about herbal medicine, but easy enough for the beginner to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd love to meet this author, May 3 2002

By A Customer

She seems to have such a sensible, grounded approach. I have two young children and am very glad I bought this book.

Things that impressed me:

1. There's a dosage chart, based on age and weight

2. She's obviously not trying to replace a family physician or holistic health care practitioner. The suggestions given are more along the lines of caring for common childhood illnesses...colds, relieving diarrhea or constipation, mild rashes, etc...things that a parent would often care for at home, unless severe.

3. The author's obvious care for people, experience and intelligence shine through on every page.
