If you’ve ever Googled “natural remedies for X If you’ve ever Googled “natural remedies for X that are safe for kids” at 2am… this is for you.

I remember that sickness isn’t failure… it’s the body working hard to heal and grow stronger.

I reach for herbal allies from my prepped shelf (more on this at the end): elderberry for immune support, chamomile for comfort, peppermint or ginger for upset tummies, and mullein with honey to ease coughs. I keep them resting & hydrated. 

If a fever comes, I don’t rush to fight it… I support it. Herbal baths, cool cloths, chamomile tea, and lots of snuggles go a long way.

Mostly, I stay present and grounded. I’ve learned that my calm is part of their medicine. 🌿

They overcome it without much intervention 98% of the time and their immune system is stronger for it. 

If you want to become a calm, confident mom even when your kids are sick… I just released my new ebook “Confident Herbal Motherhood.” 📖

It teaches you all the basics, 12 top herbs for kids + every way to use them, and time-tested recipes when you need them most. 

Grab it through the 🔗 in my bio and finally have peace of mind.

The time and method of steeping have a huge impact The time and method of steeping have a huge impact on what herbal constituents (and what benefits) you actually extract.

🌿 Short Infusion (around 10 minutes)

Typical for: pleasant teas, aromatic herbs, lighter energetics

What you extract well:
• Volatile oils (aromatic compounds that give flavor and scent — think peppermint, chamomile, lemon balm)
• Some flavonoids and polyphenols (antioxidant compounds)
• Simple sugars and light tannins
• Water-soluble vitamins (some B vitamins, a bit of vitamin C)

Result:
• Lighter, more fragrant beverage
• Excellent for mood support, digestion, relaxation, and acute use
• Doesn’t extract much mineral or mucilage content so it’s not as deeply nutritive

🌾 Long Infusion (2–10 hours or overnight)

Typical for: mineral-rich, nutritive herbs, and deep tonics

What you extract more of:
• Minerals: calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, silica, manganese (released slowly from plant cell walls)
•!Polysaccharides and mucilage: soothing and moistening compounds (especially from marshmallow, oatstraw, comfrey leaf, plantain)
• Proteins and amino acids
• Tannins (in greater amounts)
• More flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids (depending on the herb)
• Bitters and astringents that require longer extraction

Result:
• Deep, rich flavor (sometimes dark, almost broth-like)
• More grounding, mineralizing, and nourishing to tissues over time
• Energetically “earthy,” building, and sustaining

For a stronger, more nutrient-rich infusion, try m For a stronger, more nutrient-rich infusion, try making an overnight herbal infusion. 

Use about 1 ounce of dried herbs for every 1 quart of water. Just add the herbs to hot water, cover, and let them steep overnight. 

This longer steeping time extracts more minerals, vitamins, and medicinal properties from the herbs compared to a quick brew. 

In the morning, strain and enjoy a potent, nourishing tea!🌿

Here are four great herbs for overnight infusions:

1. Nettle (Urtica dioica)

• Rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals.
• May support energy, detoxification, and joint health.

2. Oatstraw (Avena sativa)

• High in silica, calcium, and magnesium.
• Nourishes the nervous system and may support skin and bone health.

3. Red Clover (Trifolium pratense)

• Full of minerals and antioxidants.
• May support hormonal balance, detoxification, and skin health.

4. Raspberry Leaf (Rubus idaeus)

• High in vitamins and minerals like calcium and iron.
• May support menstrual health and digestion.

*This is not medical advice. Always do your own research when trying new herbs.
