Description

Before the birth of antibiotics in 1930, parents raised their children proactively. They did not wait until their children got sick to treat them; kids were treated each day when they were healthy as a part of their normal daily routine. Nature harvested the medicines and people were attuned to and lived in harmony with the rhythms and cycles of the land. Perfect Health for Kids reintroduces the now lost wisdom that once kept our kids healthy.
