Another excellent activator for children is Chamomile. Chamomile helps to settle the stomach and calm the nerves. Chamomile is probably one of the very best nervine herbs for children. It aids digestion, expels gas from the bowel, soothes the nerves and reduces inflammation.

    • Excerpts from Nutritional Herbology

    The major effects of chamomile are due to its volatile oils. Therefore, it is imperative that the freshest herb be used before the oils evaporate.

    The actions of chamomile are strongest on the liver and kidneys where the volatile oils apparently stimulate the organs to purge themselves of toxins. To avoid a loss of volatile oils in the herb, an extract is conveniently described under preparations, which can be added to teas to strengthen them. The extract may also be used alone.

    Chamomile is also used to add a golden tint to hair and scent chamomile shampoo formulas. It has also been used as an enema or douche and as a pomade for bathing. The Arabians used it in massage oils.

    Contain aromatic compounds that increase the production of digestive fluids, reduce muscle spasms and pains, reduce inflammation and are antiseptic. In addition, these compounds have a sedative effect. Chamomile is one of the best herbal sources of niacin, magnesium, and essential fatty acids. It has been used to treat dyspepsia, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, dysmenorrhea, bronchitis, urinary tract infections, insomnia, headaches, and menstrual cramps.

    From Our Reading and/or Experience...

    • Chamomile is second only to Black Tea as the best selling tea in the world. Its great flavor, aroma, and soothing effects have made it so popular.
    • We use it often in tea and tincture combinations pertaining to any digestive, nervous or sleeping issues. Of course, it can be used in many other types of remedies. Adding a few handfuls to a nice warm bath is pure enjoyment.
    • It can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during and after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
    • It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
    • It is critical that Chamomile flowers are stored in a dark, dry, and cool place. Refrigeration or freezing is highly recommended, but not necessary. Following these suggestions will delay the loss of its highly valued nutritional and medicinal properties.

    I ordered the Restful Sleep herbs because I have been having difficulty sleeping for the past few months. I have been taking Tylenol PM (which leaves me feeling so tired even after waking up) or Benadryl. I had 3 babies in 4 years, and my bladder seems to want to empty itself 2 or 3 times during the night which interrupts a good night's sleep. The day I received the herbs, I was so anxious to try them that I made some tea with 1 Tbs. per cup of boiling water, and let it steep for 30 minutes. Then, strained it, and added some honey. I drank it about an hour before bedtime. That was the FIRST night in months that I did not go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Over the counter medicine usually makes me so tired that I can't see straight, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, then I cannot get back to sleep on my own-very frustrating! But the herbs are different. I never felt overly sleepy, yet fell asleep in just minutes, and did not wake until the sun came up!! I realize that a tincture would probably be more beneficial for my children to take, so today I will go get some glycerin and follow your directions.

    I also ordered The ABC Herbal, and it was very informative because my children are ages 6, 5, and 3. I cannot wait to try some of the remedies because I just hate the idea of giving them cough syrup or allergy medicine anymore, if it can be straightened out with good old common sense knowledge. I thank you for providing all these resources on your website. I have had a deep desire for a more practical way of handling illnesses but when things come up it seems easier to just give them whatever is in the medicine cabinet. Today, I am ordering another book to better educate myself, and the next time something does come up, I will already know how to handle it. I will make my own "medicine" at home from now on. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Keep up the good work!
