Dear Friend,

I see that you have ordered a few of the herbs. The Hyssop and Elecampane you ordered are good; especially if there is mucous in the lungs. Mullein is a good lung tonic, and Passion Flower is good if anxiety or emotion triggers attacks. Let me know a little more about your child's symptoms (mucous? anxiety? etc.). About 8 drops of Lavender Oil in 1/4 cup Olive Oil is a good chest rub; also the drops in a warm bath can be very good to ward off attacks.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
