CHILDREN’S DOSAGES – THE 150 RULE
What about using Herbal Remedies on our Children?
What about Kid’s dosages???
Many people who are new to the rapidly expanding field of
Herbal Medicine find themselves at the Healthfood Store trying to buy Herbal
Products for their Kids to discover that either there are no special Remedies
for Children, or the ones they sell there are simply no good or don’t work very
well.
Well, I personally would never purchase Herbal Remedies from a
Healthfood Store simply because most, if not all of these supposed Havens of
Health Freedom have been taken over by the Big Pharma Boys, or at the least have been infiltrated by them. These inferior products tend to turn people away
from Herbal Remedies when these are the very solutions needed to help bring
Health to one’s Family.
Ideally, the ultimate Herbal Remedies are those YOU make. However, when you simply can’t make them yourself because of your Job or Schedule, then right up there, and just as good as those made by you, are those created by Herbalists you know and trust.
Most of the time, Herbal Remedies that are used for Adults can also be used for
Children. I personally have only 1 (one) Formula that is designed
specifically for Kids and that is my Intestinal Kleanse for Kids. :o)
The only reason for this is that my regular Intestinal Cleanse Formula is in a
Capsule and has some very strong Habanero Cayenne in it. It is simply too
large and hot a dose for a small Child. Besides, trying to get a capsule
down a 6 month old is next to impossible. :o) BUT, all the rest of
my Formulas can be given to Children using the following guidelines for dosages
given.
Children’s Dosages – The 150 Rule
This 150 Rule is very simple. Place the amount of your Child’s WEIGHT over 150
and reduce it down to its lowest fraction. Here are some examples followed
by a General - Weight / Dose Chart.
A Child’s weight = 50 pounds.
Put the 50 over 150 as in 50/150 and you’ll see this reduces down to 5/15ths or
1/3rd. A child weighing 50 pounds would therefore get exactly 1/3rd the
Adult Dosage. The Standard Dose for Total Tonic would be 2 dropperfuls, 3
times a day (6 dropperfuls in all). This 50 pound child then would get
1/3rd of this amount = 2 dropperfuls only once a day, or 1 dropperful twice a
day depending on the child’s program. Either way would NOT hurt.
A Child’s weight = 75 pounds.
Put the 75 over 150 as in 75/150 and
you’ll see this reduces down to a dose of only one half (½). In the Total
Tonic example above, this 75 pound child would get 1 dropperful three times a
day. Get the idea???
This 150 Rule can also be used for extra small or extra large adults who are very small or extra big. Example: A woman who only weighs 100 pounds would have a 2/3rds dosage whereas a Man who weighed 300 pounds would put the 300 over the 150 = 300/150 and would end up getting two times the normal dosage. It works both ways.
Here are some more weights pre-calculated
out for you:
125 Lbs = 5/6ths Dosage
25 Lbs = 1/6th Dosage
15 Lbs = 1/10th Dosage
Remember, we’re NOT talking Rocket Science here, so a little extra or a little
less will NOT hurt. I’ve seen some pretty dramatic and awesome results
from someone who accidentally took twice or even three times the recommended
dosage.
