Children’s Doses

Distinguished herbalist Rosemary Gladstar offers this chart as a guideline for calculating a child’s dose:

When adult dosage is one teaspoon (2 droppersful or 60 drops)

Younger than 3 months               2 drops
3 – 6 months                               3 drops
6 – 9 months                               4 drops
9 – 12 months                             5 drops
12 – 18 months                           7 drops
18 – 24 months                           8 drops
2 – 3 years                                  10 drops
3 – 4 years                                  12 drops
4 – 6 years                                  15 drops
6 – 9 years                                  24 drops
9 – 12 years                                30 drops

*If you wish to evaporate the alcohol from a tincture/blend, place the dose in a small amount of boiling hot water. Allow it to cool and it is ready to use. You can place the cooled dose in juice to make it tasty.
