RE: Herbs for a 2 year old?

[Guest guest]

I am not doc but an herb that you can try, and here

within the latin community it is used as a seasoning,

is cilantro. The scientific name is eryngium foetidum.

Among other things that it is used for here, other

than a seasoning, is as an appetite stimulant and a

decoction of the leaves is also used for colds, and

fever.

That should eb safe for him to take. Just get some

cilantro and begin cooking with it to start. I guess a

little tea with it couldn't hurt as well.

 

Hope you get some relief soon for your grandson.
