This glycerite we specifically use internally to help with fevers, aid with digestion, use as a stomach tonic, helps bile flow in gallbladder... many things!

Kathi Kemper M.D. author of The Holistic Pediatrician. Some research has been done to show chamomile can have the same effect on the brain as a mild sedative, but without the side effects.

If your child has a ragweed allergy, please don't use chamomile, as it can irritate that allergy.

OATSTRAW - The German government commissioned calcium-rich oat straw extract as an effective herbal remedy for anxiety and stress. This is most likely due to the high Vitamin B complex content contained within the herb. Oat straw's calming qualities strengthens nerves and encourages a restful night's sleep. Oatstraw is high in calcium, protein and the spectrum of B vitamins, excepting vitamin B-12. Oatstraw is also high in silica, a mineral that is largely responsible for healthy skin, hair, nails and bones. It supports the central nervous system. We have found it helps us with anxiety, insomnia and nervousness. According to Finnish herbalist Henriette Kress, oatstraw can soothe an over-stressed nervous system, providing centered, calm energy. The B vitamins may be one reason that oatstraw tea has such a beneficial action on stress.

LEMON BALM - This has been used for years to help reduce anxiety, promote a calm state and improve indigestion. Why? Because Lemon balm is rich in caffeic acid and rosmarinic acid, which are powerful antioxidants that neutralize reactive oxygen species.

These compounds offer profound antibacterial and antiviral properties and protect the lipid membrane of cells.
