Are you using adult echinacea or one for kids? I get herbs for kids brand

they have a sweet echinacea and a warming echinacea that my girl loves

straight.

Hi Kalima,

I have used echinacea tea, made from (organic) leaves of the plant. I got

it from Silver Star Nurseries, grown on a mountainside in British Columbia,

Canada. It tastes good, as opposed to the tincture which I also think

tastes awful. Their info is:

Silver Star Nursery

7480 Silver Star Road

Vernon, B.C Canada V1B 3N8

(250) 542-9154

Good luck!

Looking for echinechea

Hey all been lurking as I take care of my 5 sick kids. It has been an

adventure. I think we managed to catch everything that was going around

this past month. Ok not everything thank goodness but it feels like we

have had some sort of cold in there since New Year's eve when my 14

month old got sick.

So my question is this. (14 months) is not fond of the liquid

echinechea. I have tried putting it in juice but he I think stills knows

it is there. I can get him to take the homeopathics that dissolve under

the tongue (like Hylands) with no problem. (He even smiles about it)

Does anyone know of a form of echinechea I could give him that is in

this type of tablet form? Or got any tricks to get a 14 month old to

take echinechea? I am breast feeding (yes the strike he was on earlier

this month is over) and wonder how much would I need to take to have

enough go into my milk to benefit him?

Thanks in advance!

ditto here - 2yo and 5yo who LOVE the stuff (we also sometimes get the

Herb Pharm Children's Echinacea, it's orange flavored & yummy.) As far

as nursing & Echinacea, I just follow the adult dosage on the tincture

bottle (for me, that's 1.5ml 3 times daily) and trust that my milk will

do the rest - remember that bm is LOADED with good things all on its own!

Take whatever dosage you would normally take for yourself. Also, I don't put the echinacea in juice or anything. I put it right into my kids' mouths.

There is one by Herbs for Kids (I believe), that is very sweet. I think there is also a cherry bark-echinacea combo which is pretty tasty...

We are using one for kids. My other kids don't mind it at all and

actually call it thier " power juice " when I put a few drop in thier

juice but won't drink his at all. I believe the one I have has an

orange flavoring to it.

Thanks . I will have to look into that. I have tried some teas on

him and he likes a few. I know he hates the one chinechea tea I do have

but maybe another brand will taste better to him.

From what I understand, you just take the regular adult dose.

Hi -

My son Orion enjoys a chewable one made by 'nutrition now'...maybe a local

co-op or health food store has it or can order it. There must be other

chewable ones too- this is just one we have liked.
