Ecchinacea for children

[Guest guest]

I ran across this last night at a local health food store and was wondering if

anyone here has used it or has

heard from those who have. It was a glycerite with orange flavorings.

 

I've only started using the regular tincture as needed myself and have been

wondering what I can give my 3yo

son when he's beginning to show signs of the flu or whathaveyou or has been

exposed to it. (Like from Dad

being sick last week. I was taking ecchinacea for myself and felt guilty I

wasn't doing anything for my son.)

 

For instance this week he had a fever (100 or less) and diarea (sp?) and other

than OTC things (especially at

this point when he's so obviously sick) I was at a loss as what to try. One

book recommended an Agrimony

infusion for the lower problem but I couldn't find it at the health food store.

So I fell back on the TNT home

remedy from my great grandmother...rice water (basmati in this case). I love the

smell of basmati rice!!!

 

What else could I have used for those 2 symptoms? I'm open to trying things

myself, but when it comes to my

baby, I'm very cautious...overly so I'm sure. Can ya blame me? : )))

 

Thanks for your help and patience with my ramblings. This is a wonderful

list...you guys (and gals) are great!!

 

Hope

 

PS. less than 24 hours later, my son was much better...just thought I'd add

that. : )
