HIGH-CALCIUM CHILDREN'S TEA
An excellent blend of herbs that add high quality, naturally bio-chelated calcium and other important minerals to the diet, High Calcium Children's tea is excellent for babies who are teething. It is also beneficial for children who are undergoing growth spurts or who have had a bone or muscle injury.

2 parts lemongrass
2 parts oats
1 part nettle
1 part raspberry leaf
1/2 part cinnamon chips
Combine the herbs and store in an airtight container. To make a tea, prepare as an infusion.
Infusions:
Infusions are made from the more delicate parts of the plant, including the leaves, flowers, an aromatic parts. These fragile plant parts must be steeped, rather than simmered, because they give up their medicinal properties more easily than the tougher roots and barks. To make an infusion pour boiling water over the herbs and let steep for 30 to 60 minutes.
Herbal Mixture suggested dosages for children: 1 cup of water/to suggested amount of herb
Younger than 2 years 1/2 to 1 teaspoon

7 to 11 years 2 tablespoons
Example: If you have a 4 year old. I cup boiling water poured over 1 tablespoon of herbal mixture. You can sweeten it with honey while it is warm and steeping. Strain after 30 to 60 minutes. Have your child sip away while you read them a book.

Calcium
Add Calcium to your diet! Not only is it important for strong bones and teeth, it is also essential for healthy nerve function. It will help prevent nervousness, irritability, muscle spasms, muscle cramping, hyperactivity, and insomnia.
Digestive forms of calcium are in seaweed, cultured RAW milk products without sweeteners,most dark-green leafy vegetables such as spinach, chard, broccoli, turnip greens,kale, beet greens, and parsley. Organic RAW almonds and sesame seeds.
Herbs that are excellent sources of high quality calcium: Amaranth, chickweed, dandelion greens, horsetail, mustard greens, nettle, oats and watercress
Remember milk is touted as a good source of calcium, it is in fact, sorely lacking in the amounts and type needed by our bodies. Do not rely on getting your calcium from milk products.....
For comparison:
3 1/2 ounces of cow's milk contain 118 mg of calcium.
The same amount of Hizike ( a mild-flavored seaweed) contains 1,400 mg. Kelp contains 1,093 mg, and wakame, 1,300 mg.
If you choose to take a calcium supplement, look for supplements that are bio-chelated for easier assimilation and drink the High Calcium Tea.
