Tum-ease Glycerite: Peppermint, lemon balm & Catnip Extraction
1 oz bottle of homegrown herbs of peppermint, catnip and lemon balm extraction. Made with vegan & gluten free 100% vegetable glycerine making it safe for pregnant women and children. Tum-ease is used to help ease any digestive related issues. Take before or after a meal to help with digestion. As well as calming the digestive tract it also can help to soothe the nervous system. As an adult, take 1-3 dropperfuls after meals or as needed. Although the herbs used in this recipe are generally safe for children, use Clark’s or Young’s rule for dosing.
Clark’s Rule
- To use Clark’s Rule take the weight of your child and divide it by 150 (for a 150-pound adult).
- For example, if your child weighs 38 pounds you would divide 38 by 150 (38/150 = .253 or ¼) so your child would take ¼ of the adult dosage (White & Mavor, 1998).
Young’s Rule
- Add 12 to the child’s age and divide the child’s current age by this number.
- Here is an example for a 4-year-old child: 4+12 = 16, 4 / 16 = .25 or 1/4 of the adult dosage (Gladstar, 2015).
