What About Children That Can’t Swallow Pills?

Here’s a few options:

• Take herb capsule and empty contents into peanut butter, apple sauce or fruit juices.

• Liquid Herbs (in glycerin) can be added to juice or given directly into the child’s mouth.

• Herbal Extracts contain alcohol. Put in hot water and stir to dissipate the alcohol. Let stand for 5 – 10 minutes and then take orally.

• The extract or “strongly brewed tea” can be rubbed on the feet, tummy or spinal area.

• Add tea to warm bath water. Open pores will allow the herbs to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

• Warm teas can be administered as an enema.

• Add to food being cooked such as pancakes, muffins, or cookies
