Even adults who use natural remedies themselves may be reluctant to use these remedies with their children because they didn't grow up with home remedies. The truth is, however, that if a child's health problems are not serious or persistent, applying some simple herbal remedies, along with a dash of common sense and some tender loving care, will usually get the child feeling better quickly.
Of course, if herbs or other natural home remedies don't work within a reasonable amount of time, medical advice should be sought, but often a child can be well in the time it takes for a parent to get an appointment with the doctor.
