Using herbs to treat certain simple medical conditions has become quite common today. This eliminated the need to seek a medical practitioner every time there is a mishap, especially when children are involved.

Its wonderful refreshing and energizing qualities are useful in pepping up teas, as a breath freshener, and as an energizer, to name a few. It is also popularly used in salads and drinks. This herb is also useful to help boost poor digestive systems and eases any gas buildup and stomach aches. Mint has antifungal properties.

Ginger helps in calming indigestion, painful gas buildups, other stomach discomforts, and upsets. It also helps to increase circulation.

Besides its antiviral and antibacterial properties, it is also a great health booster and helps to shorten the duration of colds and flues in kids. In the summertime when insect bites, minor scrapes, and tummy upsets are the norm having this herb handy is an advantage.


Chamomile – This is a favorite for treating colic, gas restlessness, and anxiety issues. It contains properties that can induce drowsiness and help calm irritable kids. It also makes for a great relaxing cup of tea.
