Flaws goes on to say in his clinic, he writes formulas for children with the same dosages as for adults, but then he gives the child a reduced amount of the resulting decoction. A bag of herbs is boiled in 2 cups of water until one cup remains and then the child is given 2 droppers two or more times per day. He stresses using an eye-dropper for administering decoctions to children because the child cannot spill it. The eye-dropper procedure can even be used for babies.
