I had no idea what I would do if my kids got sick and knew I would prefer not to give then pharmceutical drugs. I wanted sovereignty over my family ’s health and to be able to treat simple ailments at home. I now have tw o children: age 8 and 15 months. My eldest child has only ever been to a d octor once for a positive diagnosis of chickenpox. Her only other experien ce of mainstream medicine is that she cut her forehead open when she was 3 and went to hospital to get it stitched back up. She didn’t even know w hat a doctor/ GP was until she asked me one day as we walked past a doctor s surgery. As a mother and herbalist I know it is so important that childr en are exposed to an alternative health care system so that the mainstream system is not their only known paradigm. Using herbs with children is als o a way to help educate them about their own bodies so they grow up knowin g sovereignty/ bodily autonomy.\n\nThe thing I hear the most from parents is:\n\nI would like to stop giving my child calpol\n\nI would like to use calpol only when absolutely necessary\n\nI would like to have other tools\ , including herbal medicine\, and a broader range of techniques to use to take care of my child's health\n\nI would like to know what is safe and ho w to give that\, practically to my child/ children\n\nWhat?\n\n3 week onli ne course (2 hours per session)\n\nLearn about what herbs you can give you r kids\, and how\n\n \;\n\nWhen?\n\nBegins Tuesday 21st october\n\nTue sday 28th\n\nTuesday 4th November\n\n7.30 - 9.30pm each week\n\nLive or wa tch the recordings back\n\nWho is it for?\n\nParents and carers of childre n\n\nAnyone with an interest in herbal medicine\n\nWhat will be covered:\n \nSimple treatments for uncomplicated general ailments - sore throats\, co lds/flu \, breathing issues \, sore vulvas/vaginas\, rashes \, eczema\, in fections\, upset tummy\, diarrhoea\, constipation\, sleep problems\, anxie ty\, stress\n\nHow to build your home apothecary\n\nWhat herbs to have in stock\n\nAge appropriate dosages\n\nRed flags/ limitations\n\nWhat form to have herbs – teas and tinctures\n\nHow to store them/ BBE\n\nCOST - £5 0 EARLY BIRD then £75 thereafter\n\n*the minimum number of sign ups requi red to run this course is 5.
