The mental health and well being of children is something that has always been important to me. Especially in these days where kids are scolded and medicated just for being “different”, “atypical”, and “disobedient”. To me none of these labels should ever be placed onto a child, especially given the times we are living in today where screens are placed in front of 6 month olds and children are forced to be still in a chair indoors all day. No wonder our kids are dis-regulated, ungrounded, and anxious. In any case though, herbal medicine has been used for adult and children’s health since the dawn of humans. It just gets a bit trickier when using herbs for children because although most herbs are very safe, some can be very potent and harmful to a developing body and mind.
I created a formula with herbs that are known to be extremely safe for children and are known throughout the world as “children’s herbs”. This elixer is made with glycerine which is an alcohol free solvent that has a pleasant sweet taste to it. This glycerine extracts the medicine of the herbs quite well and is quick and easy to take.
I included chamomile in this elixer for its sedative nature. For adults and children alike, chamomile is known for promoting restfulness and sleep. I have found that chamomile works especially well for insomnia and those who have trouble staying asleep.
Lemon balm is one of the most effective nervine herbs. Which means it is a nervous system regulator and helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Lemon balm is a companion to those who struggle with anxiety, unease, and restlessness. When children just simply feel out of control of their bodies and emotions, lemon balm is an excellent remedy.
Calendula is included in this remedy for its ability to soothe growing pains and any body aches. Calendula is also a nervine and has the power to soothe anxiety. I believe the effects of calendula for supporting body tissues and cells is an essential element for slowing a child down and promoting grounding.
