Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hi there, I would recommend the Echinacea Plus and the Total Tonic. There have been various suggestions in past posts about how to get kids to take these.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 This a problem. There are many herbs and other nutrients that can help with allergies. First, are you allowing your child to drink milk or eat wheat? These are both allergy causing foods that can make seasonal allergies worse. Nettle and eyebright are very good herbs for allergies. They come in either capsules or extacts. You should be able to find them in alcohol free versions. As to get your child to take them, mix the extracts into a little apple sauce. Hope this helps, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Echinacia is great! Also try a foot bath of garlic and ginger to take care of the sniffles and congestion. I use it for my 6 (almost 7) year old son as necessary. Johnnephthys1359 <Nephthys wrote: Hello.
