How to Choose
Tiliacalm® for Kids
Tiliacalm® for Kids by St. Francis Herb Farm is an herbal tincture formulated for children aged 2 and older, as well as adolescents. It may be considered when a child has difficulty relaxing, experiences occasional restlessness or needs natural support when preparing for sleep.
Its formula combines four herbs traditionally used for their calming properties: linden, chamomile, catnip and lemon balm. This combination of calming herbs for children may also help relieve mild digestive discomfort that occurs alongside nervousness, including gas and bloating.
When choosing a calming product for a child, it is important to consider the child’s age, symptoms, medications or natural health products already being used, and how long the difficulties have been present. Always follow the recommended dosage for the child’s specific age group.
