Flower Essences
For Children
Dosage Directions for Children
Directions for
children are basically the same as for adults: 2 to 4 drops
of Stock Concentrate under the tongue, or added to water or
juice, though not milk (10 minutes before a meal or an hour
after), 4 times daily. The essences can be given more often
if needed, even 10 to 20 times a day.
You may also add 16 Stock Concentrate drops to bath water
or 2 to 4 drops to the baby bottle. Spraying the crib or bed
with the essences in a misting bottle is helpful as well.
During pregnancy is an especially sensitive time to take essences.
Also, babies who are nursing will receive essences through
the mother's milk.
To eliminate the brandy preservative, simply prepare a 1-oz.
Dosage Bottle with 2 drops of Stock Concentrate and filling
the bottle with spring water. This bottle will retain its
potency for one month if refrigerated. Please note: essences
need to be stored out of heat and direct sunlight.
Any combination of the above dosage methods is acceptable.
You may find your child reminding you when it's time for an
essence!
