April 28, 2020Bev Dunne

How many people feel these days like their bodies are running on 2 cylinders instead of 6?

Herbal Cough Syrup Safe for Children

April 28, 2020Bev Dunne

In 2012 the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (TGA) conducted a review of children’s cough and cold medicines.  They advised that children under 6 years of age, should not be given over-the-counter pharmaceutical cough and cold medicine and children aged between 6 to 11 years only be given such medicines on the advice of a pharmacist, doctor or nurse practitioner. Because of these concerns, I thought it appropriate this week to write about herbs which we feel are appropriate and safe to use for children suffering from bronchitis, coughs, colds, sore throats, stuffy nose, blocked and inflamed ears or sinusitis.
