This article discusses the herbs that could be used for colds, coughs, and respiratory infections in kids. Information in this article is appropriate for parents whose children are below one year of age. Since these children cannot engage in activities that can build better health like yoga and weight training, eating the right herbs may help them develop better immune system. This may help children ward off respiratory infections and other
health conditions.
Infants below one year of age are too young to be experimented with herbs. However, for nasal congestion due to colds in infants, eucalyptus oil could be added into the humidifier (if using one), and echinacea tincture is recommended by experts to build up the immune system. In the case of breast-fed infants below six months of age, a chicken soup with dandelion root, Astralagus, burdock root and Echinacea could do wonders.
