Herbs for Kids: Safe, Gentle Botanicals for Clinical Practice*
Parents want the very best for their children—and that includes only the safest, gentlest products for their health.* Herbs can be safe and beneficial options for a range of childhood concerns, from intermittent restlessness to occasional anxiousness, and can provide immune support to keep little ones feeling well in the face of challenges. Many clinicians ask, “ where to start and what herbs are safe?” *
This webinar will review current research into the safety, efficacy, and dosing of several kid friendly herbs including Black Elderberry, Echinacea, Ginger, Lemon Balm, African Geranium, and Chamomile.*
This webinar is for healthcare professionals and students only.
