GIVE YOUR CHILD THE GIFT OF NATURAL HEALTH When your children are sick or injured, you want them to feel better -- fast. Although in some cases there is no substitute for traditional medical care, prescription drugs are not always the best answer. Countless parents are discovering that natural, health-promoting substances can often be both safer and more effective. Now, a master herbalist with more than twenty-five years of experience who is also a mother of two shares her natural approach to wellness. Inside you'll find easy holistic therapies for common childhood injuries and ailments, and learn: -- how a banana can remove a splinter -- which herbs help reduce fever -- how an onion helps both bruises and earaches -- why garlic is nature's antibiotic -- how a spritz of rosemary hair juice prevents lice -- why peppermint tea relieves both headaches and stomachaches -- how gargling with lemon juice and table salt can ease a sore throat -- why ginger root can ease motion sickness -- and many other intelligent uses of foods and therapeutic plants -- nature's own medicine -- to alleviate discomforts. Best of all, this invaluable reference stresses an approach that helps you teach your children the benefits of preventing illness -- not just treating it.
