Recipe 1: Cinn-a-Mint Marshmallow Sore Throat Pastilles
When little ones experience sore throats, providing relief can make all the difference. This recipe, Cinn-a-Mint Marshmallow Sore Throat Pastilles, uses natural ingredients to soothe the throat’s irritated tissues and ease discomfort, combining the warming qualities of cinnamon with the soothing powers of marshmallow and peppermint.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup cinnamon (Cinnamomum spp.) bark, powdered
- ¼ cup marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) root, powdered
- Raw honey
- ⅛ cup peppermint (Mentha x piperita) leaf, powdered
Directions:
- Mix the cinnamon and marshmallow powder in a bowl.
- Slowly add raw honey, stirring until a dough forms that can hold its shape when rolled.
- Form small, dime-sized balls from the dough.
- Roll each ball in peppermint powder and store them in an airtight container with extra peppermint powder to prevent sticking.
- Enjoy one pastille as needed, especially for children who can safely suck on or chew them in small pieces.
This remedy is easy to make, and each pastille can be stored for up to six months, making it a perfect staple in your herbal wellness cabinet.
Recipe 2: Sweat It Out Diaphoretic Tea
Fevers are a natural part of the body’s healing process, yet they can be uncomfortable for children. The Sweat It Out Diaphoretic Tea recipe offers a gentle way to encourage the release of heat through sweating, using catnip, elderflower, yarrow, and peppermint. These diaphoretic herbs work best when sipped warm, helping little ones feel more at ease as the fever naturally cools.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup catnip (Nepeta cataria) aerial parts
- ½ cup elderflower (Sambucus nigra or S. canadensis)
- ¼ cup yarrow (Achillea millefolium) aerial parts
- ¼ cup peppermint (Mentha x piperita) leaf
Directions:
- Combine all herbs and store in a sealed container.
- To prepare, steep 2 tbsp of the blend in 16 oz of hot water for 15 minutes, then strain.
- Serve 2 oz every 30 minutes for soothing fever relief. Adjust the dosage for children as needed.
This tea brings comfort to little ones, and with the holistic care methods from Herbal Academy, caregivers have access to even more herbal solutions to support children’s health naturally.
