Echinacea


Didn't you make some Echinacea tincture a few months ago?  I'm thinking I remember you did.  Echinacea would be great to keep on hand for the little ones, way better than OTC for sure!

Here is how to figure out the dosage for kids from a post Uny did.

Dosage for wee ones:

In a fraction put the weight of the child over 150 (average adult weight) and reduce the fraction to the lowest common denominator. So a 50 pound child would be 50/150, and that would reduce to 1/3...so their correct dosage is 1/3 of the typical adult dosage. But this can safely be adjusted "upward as needed" with almost everything. Good example: ...a child with any long-term infection or something like pneumonia that IS causing them harm & distress..and let's say Echinacea root (it's me favorite herb!)

The Plains Indians chewed on fresh Echinacea root for 'whatever ailed them' (they used it to successfully recover from rattlesnake bites & rabies). If you ever have the opportunity to chew a 2" piece of Echinacea root for 15 minutes and feel it's potency...? You will KNOW how absolutely safe a 1/2 ounce of Echinacea tincture really is!! (assuming no allergic reaction, of course).

Blessings,

Willow
