In this course we will be discussing the many aspects of working as an herbalist with the pediatric population. We will be reviewing common issues and conditions that are unique to children. Herbal formulas and protocols for common childhood complaints will be covered. An appropriate materia medica for each topic will be included with kid-friendly formulas as appropriate.
As a Midwife and Herbalist, Katia has been working with women and children for over 20 years. As she mostly cares for women, she has had many opportunities helping women figure out a sane herbal approach for their children. She includes many of her personal stories and experiences including victories and failures with working with families. A balanced approach to childhood conditions and when to go for herbs and when to go to the pediatrician will be discussed.
