I liked this book. I found it full of clear information about the different herbs and how to use them for children. I will definitely be trying some of the remedy the next time my children get sick.

Thankyou to netgalley for sending me an advance copy to review

Impressive book and very useful. I am keeping a copy in the house to refer to when needed. This is a must-have for all parents! Especially the ones who want to avoid giving medicines to their children all the time and prefer a more natural way to resolve minor health issues. Totally recommend to every parent!

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for my early copy.

This is an excellent reference book to keep on your shelf with lots of ideas on how to treat or help children with herbal remedies. I love Rosemary Gladstar's books and have a couple o n my shelf which i reference often. .would highly recommend.

I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me the opportunity to read this masterpiece early for a review.

This book was absolutely amazing, from the very beginning I was learning something. The author did a beautiful job presenting each herb, explaining the uses and preventive measure the herbs can provide while giving your recipes for you to try on your on. The pages are crips, and cleanly laid out, making it easier to read and find the information you require. As soon as this book makes it on to the shelves, I am buying it and adding it to my arsenal. Thank you so much Rosemary, for allowing us a small insight into your strong wisdom.

This is the book you want to have in your library, in your kitchen, in your home. It is perfect to give as a gift and to have close at hand.

I really like learning about the things that surround us, the animals, the trees and plants around us and above all, understanding their functions and being able to correctly apply their benefits to help relieve even a cold, that is magic for me.

Everything is properly explained in detail and with beautiful photos. I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but I already have a list of my favorites to try. And it completely awoke my curiosity about natural medicine and what other books I could look for.

Thanks to Rosemary Gladstar and Storey Publishing for give me a copy of this beautiful book

This will definitely be easier to read in printed format and is more of a reference book that one you would read cover to cover. Saying that it is worth an initial scan through to grasp the full range of herbs and spices, many of which are easily recognisable alongside super easy remedies that can be implemented immediately. I recommend that you absolutely read the initial pages that talk about herb safety.

I was drawn to the fennel (anti inflammatory properties) and ginger which we use a lot but I realize that I can get a lot more mileage out of it. If your children or grandchildren are still young, it’s an excellent way to get them connecting with nature as well as into good nutritional and medicinal habits. As I am a nutritional therapist, I love the use of traditional natural remedies that allows allopathic medicine to be used only when most needed.

Some recipes and methods maybe a little daunting for people new to this world of natural remedies and I’m not sure how many people these days would be comfortable giving their children enemas. However, there are enough simple recipes or practices such as teas and herbals baths to work with whilst getting to grips with syrups, salves and the more complicated ideas. It will work for a range of readers, from the complete novice through to someone quite advanced.

Note that it may be difficult to source some ingredients and if looking to pick them yourself, care must be taken to avoid misidentification.

Really enjoyed this book, I read an updated version courtesy of netgalley and super enjoyed it.

Learnt plenty and information displayed was so easy on the eye and the layout of the book was perfect.


Thanks to Netgalley for this free ARC in return for my review.

This is a wonderful book! It is chock full of useful information on various herbs, recipes for salves, poultices, etc. that can be especially beneficial for children.

Amazing reference title for herb use in children! As I look towards more holistic and natural based remedies I found this title to be extremely well done in terms of ease to understand. There are a number of useful information graphics such as the herbal medicine cabinet graphic, listing a handful of staple syrups / teas/ tinctures, that I find very helpful when you're just starting out. This title covers the ethical ground of when to use herbs vs when to seek medical help, I appreciated this section. Herbal profiles are easy to understand and complete, covering used parts, benefits and uses. This title does NOT give enough information to be a reference for identifying while hunting and collecting wild herbs There are so many great recipes included in this work, suggesting there is a lot that can be done with herbs both medicinally and for flavorful treats. Beautiful photos, cohesive theme between chapters, color coded chapters. Chapter five covers the really important information regarding proper dosage for children vs adults. The appendix is such a treat; covering flower essences is just so cool.

Th this third edition of the herbs for children's health book, we can trust Rosemary Gladstar will accompany us to understand so many easy-to-make remedies for children. This is a must reference guide book for every parents in the world to read and to help them during the children's sickness. So many good reccomendation indeed.

When I say I am obsessed with this little guide to herbal remedies for kids, I mean I am OBSESSED!

Over the past decade I’ve made a drastic switch away from processed foods and pharmaceuticals and even though I have YEARS of research, growth, and wisdom, this guide proved to me there is always room for improvement and more learning. And that excited me!

Rosemary Gladstar approaches herbal remedies with a sense of care and humility. She provided tools and tips to replace OTC medicines with natural remedies you can grow in a garden. From teas and tinctures to balms and salves, this is an INVALUABLE resource if you’re seasoned or new to natural health. I COMPLETELY recommend this guide if you feel ready to take the giant leap away from big pharma!

This is a comprehensive and helpful book covering herbs that are helpful for children’s health. Although based primarily in America, it covers many herbs that are known and loved worldwide, making it is useful resource whichever country you are living in.

Instantly a 5-star book that every parent or parent-to-be needs to have on their shelves!

Gladstar explains each herb and its use in terms that everyone can understand while simultaneously demonstrating her deep knowledge of the herbs she presents.

Combined with the recipes for various teas, salves and other herbal remedies allows parents and caregivers to quickly put their new knowledge into action, allowing them to transform their home medicine cabinet.

This book will become my go-to baby shower gift for new parents and I can't wait to add a physical copy to my own home library.

I extend my gratitude to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for providing me with an E-ARC of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Great book to add to any collection. I enjoyed the recommendations as to what to have on hand for common ailments for my children. I prefer to have natural remedies available as opposed to medicine such as Tylenol. Unlike other books I have read on this topic, I appreciated the added commentary on when to involve professional help if natural remedies do not work. Overall this is a great book and I would consider gifting it to new parents too.

I need a hard copy of this book, stat! … and so do you! As a new mama wanting to take a holistic approach to health, this was such an interesting and accessible read. I loved how it went in depth into each of the herbs and provided background and ways to use them. I also loved learning more about herbal medicine in general. I can’t wait to start making these recipes and using more of these herbs now that I have more confidence!
