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!

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!

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!

I have been wanting to implement more natural remedies into mine and my children’s lives. I definitely recommend this book due to the ability to read through it easily. Everything is explained in detail and full of information on different herbs and their uses. My favorite herbs have always been dandelion and purple dead nettle. Now I will get to try more options out this spring and summer.

“Please, don’t, take these beautiful things that I’ve got” 🫶🏻💛

Mom of four little ones here and all the sicknesses are so scary- after spending 4 days/nights in the ICU with an RSV scare, I devoured this book. I grew up with my mom using Natures Sunshine products, herbs, and having my sisters and I see a naturalist doctor. Lots of backstories and reasons for this route. Now as a mom I’m trying to learn all these things myself, and even for myself what I need to take the best care of me. So this book was just incredible. Alphabetical order of all the herbs, what they can do, how they can help, when to seek more help. The pictures were so beautiful and helpful. I was absolutely amazed! I always love to try a natural approach first, and this was so helpful to know what I’d need and when, as well as how to make it or what to do with it. Rosemary Gladstar put together a wonderful, and resourceful tool for parents. It comes out September 23. 🌿🌿🌿Thank you @netgalley @rosemarygladstar @storeypublishing for this advanced copy. #netgalley #rosemarygladstar #storeypublishing #kidsherbs #herbsforkids

This book is the absolute best. I love every book by Rosemary glass star the recipes are simple, the information is priceless. I have already made some of the recipes in this book and I'm looking very forward to making more for my family

Thank you to Netgally and the Publisher for this copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

I love that the author gives you advice on how to safely use these herbs. The book tells you how to test for allergic reactions to the herbs. I love that the herbs are listed from A-Z, she tells you what part of the plant/herbs to use, what to use it for, as well as recipes for usage. I will definitely be putting this book to use.

I have spent a number of wonderful days immersed in this book. As a Healthcare professional and parent I found this book extremely interesting and insightful, it has very practical ways to help support a child's health using natural remedies. As a family we use herbal remedies and essential oils to help support our health and wellbeing and this book will certain complement and advance what we already do. I am pleased to see key references to "consulting your paediatrician" at appropriate and relevant points throughout the book.

One downside of this book, and which causes me significant concern is the Herbal enemas section (page 191). When it say's "With Enemas, experiences is helpful", I would suggest experience is "Essential" and therefore consultation with a qualified healthcare professional/Paediatrician is vital! Additionally, I would advise that a section is added about observing Safeguarding/Child Protection laws to ensure the safety of both the child and person administering the enema.

Although I have concerns relating to the Herbal Enema section of this book, I will still be purchasing a copy when it is published.

A detailed guide to using medicinal herbs for children. A lot of information and helpful usage guidance found in these pages. If you are interested in this type of thing, this is a valuable resource. I found it easy to understand and use.
I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinions.

I love how this book is set up in different sections. It mentions multiple herbs and flowers that you can use and what exactly they are used for. It lso gave me great ideas for what to plant in my flower garden this year. Then it goes into some different recipes you can make; a couple I have already made and they are very easy to follow. I also loved the little ideas mentioned to help get the kids involved and to start their love of plants and flowers. If you are into Essential oils, herbs, and all natural health remedies then this book would be a great addition to your collection.

This book is an incredible resource for any parent who is looking for ways to increase the use of herbs in every day wellness! My grandmother was an avid herbalist and this book reinforced a lot of what I’ve learned from her. Who knew bay leaves help to prevent insect bites and that blackberry root is great for digestive issues?! Can’t recommend this book enough!
