Simply Honest Co. — Children's Fever Relief Glycerite · 2 oz

A gentle, alcohol-free herbal syrup for kids who are feverish, achy and miserable: chamomile, lemon balm, elderflower and yarrow in a sweet glycerin base.

When a little one runs warm, parents across generations have reached for the same handful of gentle herbs. Elderflower, yarrow and catnip are the classic fever-tea herbs of Western folk practice, traditionally used to help the body through a fever by encouraging gentle sweating. Chamomile and lemon balm calm the restlessness and crankiness that come with feeling sick, and spearmint settles a queasy stomach or a headache. Simply Honest Co. extracts them in vegetable glycerin instead of alcohol, so the syrup is sweet, kid-friendly and easy to give by the spoon or in warm tea, with no synthetic ingredients.

Key ingredients

• Chamomile flower: calms restlessness, eases discomfort and supports relaxation and rest.
• Lemon balm leaf: a gentle mint-family herb traditionally used to soothe nerves and during fevers.
• Catnip leaf and flower: traditionally used to encourage gentle sweating and ease tension and mild aches.
• Elderflower: supports the body's natural fever response and immune function.
• Yarrow leaf and flower: a traditional fever-tea herb that helps with mild inflammation.
