I thought I was right about you having tinctured it. Isn't it a great feeling to know that you're healing your babies with natural 'medicine' you made yourself? Very empowering I say! As soon as you're able to get that Echinacea you can tincture you a gallon of it to last you a good long time for you and the kids.
Yes, it's terrible when children are too young to tell you what's wrong but it sure is better to treat them with natural remedies than to buy OTC drugs!
