Hi,

Does anyone know of an acupuncturist/herbal in Nelson, or close by.

One of my patients will be there for several months. I am treating him for

hydrocele.

 

Thank you,

strategies for getting herbs into kids

 

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if some of you skilled pediatric practioners on the

list would share any strategies you might have for getting herbs into

young children, especially raw herbs.

 

With my own (almost 3 y.o.) daughter, I've managed small doses of

tinctures (with the alcohol evaporated) in a beverage or (my latest

discovery) mixed with liquid vitamins. Parents of patients of mine

have reported good success with these methods as well.

 

I had heard that you could cook water-based decoctions down to further

reduce the liquid, but I usually end up burning the herbs in the

process--and the only success I've had with the end results has been

with gui zhi tang and other sweet formulas. Other formulas I've tried

this method with must have too unpleasant a taste for little

palates.(Is there some refinement to this method that I'm missing? I

usually remove the herbs and just boil down the liquid.)

 

Of course there are jouks and medicinal pastries, but I'm suspecting

these wouldn't pass the toddler taste test, if made with

bitter/cold/sour/etc. herbs, and adding sweetener would kind of defeat

the purpose?

 

TIA,

 

Sarah
