Herbs for Kids

There is a brand of tinctures, and other things, that I like that works well for children it's called- Herbs for Kids. I have tried several of them and thought they worked great, their Cherry Bark Formula is wonderful for little ones colds. I always have a bottle of this in my Medicine Box when Cold season rolls around. Here is a link to a site where you can check them out- Herbs for Kids.

Cherry Bark Formula-
Herbal treatment to soothe a raw throat, for coughs- dry/hacking.
It contains-

Treating a cough or cold is hard, there are so many differnt types of cough. So to treat it you need to use the herbs that are specific for each type.
