Are alcohol tinctures bad for children?
Most parents new to herbs wonder whether alcohol tinctures are bad for children. I mean, alcohol is bad for anyone if too much is used too often, right? And, because children are much smaller in weight and their bodies don’t metabolize toxins the way an adult’s body does wouldn’t it make sense that there should be some worry around giving alcohol to them… even if it’s in the form of a natural,herbal medicine? Now I’m not here to convince you one way or the other. This decision is up to you as the parent of your child but I do want to share some basic information I’ve found in order to help you come to a better decision… or at least an easier one. We all want to sleep well at night knowing that we’ve done what’s best for our child right?The amount of alcohol a child consumes from a tincture is very small.
