Kids, especially school-aged ones, get sick a lot. Their immune systems are so different than adults, which is why Wishgarden has a line of tinctures specifically for kids!
This blend supports a healthy immune system and improves a child's natural resistance to illnesses.
Fun fact:
While all Wishgarden's pregnancy, postpartum and children's formulas contain organic gluten-free alcohol — which is used to extract the herbal constituents and preserve the tincture — the finished products have as much alcohol as a ripe banana per serving.

Dilute in water, juice, smoothie, or soup for taste. Use every 1-3 hours for up to 5 days.

More about the herbs:
- Usnea lichen: Usnea spp. is a lichen that often hangs in tufts from trees and grows on trees, with the body of the plant used to make medicine. Also known as old man's beard, Usnea promotes a restorative immune response, especially in the mucus membranes and respiratory tract. It has also been used to break up mucus and make phlegm easier to cough up. Usnea is often used to combat discomforts and bring the body back to balance.
- Bee Propolis: Also known as bee glue, Bee Propolis is made from pollen and plant resin that bees use to protect and seal their hives. This thick resinous substance soothes throats and supports respiratory wellness while strengthening the body's natural immune response. Rich in polyphenols, these free radical scavengers support the body's natural balance and protect against environmental stressors.
- Echinacea Purpurea root: Native to areas east of the Rocky Mountains in the US, Echinacea purpurea supports the body's natural immune response and immune system wellness. Echinacea provides seasonal immune support and supports a healthy histamine response, promoting comfort during seasonal changes.
- Calendula flower: Calendula officinalis may help support the immune system's natural functions and promote healthy microbial balance. This traditional flower is valued for its natural compounds that support the body's natural defenses and overall wellness.
- Boneset aerials: Eupatorium perfoliatum is a perennial daisy with a long history of use amongst Native Americans. It supports a healthy body temperature and soothes occasional aches.
- Myrrh gum: Commiphora molmol, C. myrrha is a sap-like substance or resin extracted from cuts in the bark of trees that are members of the Commiphora species. Used traditionally for wellness, Myrrh helps soothe seasonal discomforts, soothes occasional cough, and supports lung health. Myrrh also supports healthy microbial balance and immune system function.
- Cinnamon bark: Cinnamomum burmanii and C. cassia supports healthy microbial balance and promotes overall immune and respiratory wellness.
