Giving remedies to kids, babies & pets
Little ones and animals take the same remedies and the same potencies — you just change how you get the dose in.
The water method (easiest for everyone)
Dissolve 1-2 pellets in a small glass (or bowl for pets) of clean water and stir. One sip or a teaspoon is one dose.
Stir or shake again before each dose. The glass can be kept covered in the fridge for a day or two for redosing if desired. When done, clean thoroughly in the dishwasher with hot, soapy water and dry before reuse or the remedy will remain.
Babies
Give a few drops of the dissolved remedy in water or milk by dropper or spoon into the mouth, or wipe it on the inside of the lip or gums with a soft cloth.
Children
Older children can take pellets popped straight into their mouths. Most enjoy it — they taste slightly sweet.
Pets
Use the same potency as for people. Pellets can be dropped into the mouth or cheek pouch, dissolved in drinking water, or put on a treat or mixed in their food.
How often
Follow the same repetition as on the remedy page, and stop once there is clear improvement.
