Herbal Medicine for Children with Rob Santich
from FX Medicine Podcast Central
Having a sick child can be worrisome indeed, and treating children can be both tricky and rewarding. One of the biggest hurdles when prescribing to children is compliance. When it comes to herbal medicines, lets face it, they weren't designed by nature to always taste pleasant and in fact, sometimes their unpleasant taste is a feature of their therapeutic action. Today we're joined by herbalist Rob Santich who shares his decades of experience in finding novel ways to deliver herbal medicines to children. Rob takes us through the importance of building trust with children, how to determine children's dosing with herbs, and some creative ideas for making them palatable or alternative methods of delivery.
