You decide what you feel comfortable giving your child. A two-ounce bottle of a liquid herb would be equivalent to 120 capsules. Again, the normal adult herbal dosage is one capsule for every 25 pounds body weight per day. This is equivalent to 5 drops for every 25 pounds. In critical or acute situations use 3-5 times the normal amount for quick help.
Liquid herbs are particularly easy to give to children.
Homeopathics Homeopathic remedies are harmless dilutions of minerals, plant extracts, and other natural substances prepared according to the principles of homeopathic medicine. These stimulate healing reactions by working on the body's energy field. They are very safe and may be used many times during the day if desired. Some homeopathics and herbal extracts contain alcohol. If you feel uncomfortable giving your child this small amount of alcohol or your child is very young, you can put the substance in 2 ounces of warm water, stir for a minute to aerate it, and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
