From the Medical Herbalism journal,
By Paul Bergner "Editor, Medical Herbalism journal" (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: An Encyclopedia of Natural Healing for Children and Infants (Paperback)
Top notch practical information from one of the most experienced herbalists in North America. Bove has degrees in both the British and naturopathic schools of herbalism, is a midwife, and has a busy practice caring for women and children. The book is readable, practical and suitable training for self-care by the lay public.

Great Info Taken with A Grain of Salt,
By
This review is from: An Encyclopedia of Natural Healing for Children and Infants (Paperback)
This is a great book, but must be used with common "mommy" sense. Some of the things in the book will go against what your pediatrician will recommend, and thats fine, but you need to make a choice based on both sources of wonderful information to decide what is best for your child.
One thing that did really bother me is that there is a recipe for teething that involves honey-honey should NEVER be given to an infant under one year of age because it can be potentialy deadly. And since most babies begin teething between 6-9 months I was a bit upset that this risk was not mentioned. The information on making infusions, oils and the like is great though. I would recommend the book to anyone who has common sense about herbs and has a desire to raise a child without the use of a lot of man made medicines.

Excellent Resource for alternatives to prescriptions,
By
This review is from: An Encyclopedia of Natural Healing for Children and Infants (Paperback)
I am not one of those people that boycotts medical doctors, but I do like to have alternatives to the overabundance of prescription medications out there. This book is great because it gives you information about all sorts of ailments, and different ways to treat them using natural products, as well as ways to measure how much to give to your children.
