Plant remedies for children.

Gentle ways to care for little ones — and the grown-ups who love them

At 2am, when your child's unwell, you reach for what's on hand. And often, that's Calpol.

Maybe you've wondered if there's another way. What if you had something gentler? Something that worked with the body, not just against the symptoms?

This is a session about that.

What's covered in this session

• Simple, safe, and effective plant remedies for fevers, coughs, upset tummies, skin rashes, and restlessness
• How to care for children using plants our great-grandparents would've known
• When to use herbal remedies and when medical care is needed
• Practical recipes and sourcing guidance you can use at home
• How to build confidence in your ability to care for your family with plants

What makes this different

Most of us weren't shown how to care for our families with plants. We were handed a pharmacy leaflet and told to follow the dose.

But so many over-the-counter medicines aren't tested for children. And so many of us are quietly uneasy about giving them too often.

This isn't folk theory. Or trendy wellness fluff. Simon is a trained medical scientist from Cambridge. He's taught herbal medicine at universities in the UK and US. He's advised governments. Co-written textbooks. Practised since 1977.

But more than that, he believes in giving families the tools to care for themselves. This isn't about rejecting medicine. It's about having more options.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

• You want gentler ways to support your child's health
• You feel uneasy about the medications on your shelf
• You're curious about how plants can help, and want straight answers
• You're a parent, carer, or anyone who looks after children

This isn't for you if:

• You're looking for quick fixes or miracle cures
• You need emergency solutions (that's what doctors are for)
• You're not willing to learn about everyday support for sniffles, stomach aches, and sleepless nights
