Support your child’s emotional and mental health with safe home remedies
“A compassionate and individualized holistic approach to children’s emotional well-being.”—Kirkus Reviews
• Learn to nurture resilience with herbs, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, and other nature-based therapies to ease anxiety, balance moodiness, alleviate depression, induce calm, and stabilize ADHD
• Delves into the fascinating connection between blood types and behavior, while sharing simple techniques to boost oxytocin—the “love hormone” that strengthens bonds
• Shares expert advice from leading voices in complementary health to support children’s wellness naturally and safely
Today’s parents are more attuned than ever to the emotional health and well-being of their children. In this practical guide, master herbalist and classical homeopath Sara Chana Silverstein explores the herbs, essential oils, homeopathic remedies, and other natural therapies that can be used—safely and inexpensively at home—to support the emotional needs of children.
Silverstein provides an in-depth look at dozens of medicinal plants that help alleviate tension, insomnia, anxiety, anger, ADHD, and depression. She offers practical guidance on selecting and preparing the most kid-friendly herbal remedies, including honeys, ice pops, teas, tinctures, and oils. She also shows how gentle homeopathic remedies provide an effective way to address emotional struggles as well as certain neurological conditions, including autism.
The author explores the role of aromatherapy, discusses the connection between blood types and behavior, and shares tried-and-true methods for boosting oxytocin, the love and bonding hormone. The book concludes with interviews with 11 experts in herbal medicine, homeopathy, and holistic care who offer advice and practical insights into treating children safely and holistically, empowering parents and caregivers to help the children they love move through life’s stages with confidence, balance, and grace.

“I love Sara Chana Silverstein’s approach in Moodtopia for Kids! As The Natural Nurse, I have consulted with parents and health professionals for decades and raised my own children with natural remedies. Sara Chana teaches all parents, whether experienced or novice, how to choose the right remedy. She includes information on how knowing your blood type can help you make the best food choices and on incorporating natural healing techniques, including foods, herbs, homeopathics, and relaxation techniques that support children’s physical and emotional wellness. Sara Chana shares instructions for a wide variety of easy-to-incorporate actions, such as gargling and ear massage, that cost nothing and can make a real difference in sustaining a happy, healthy emotional response to life. This is a wonderful resource for all parents and caregivers who seek grounded knowledge on how to incorporate natural remedies to sustain children in a safe, time-honored, natural emotional rhythm, rather than instantly seeking pharmaceuticals, which often don’t work and come with a long list of possible adverse effects.” * Ellen Kamhi, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RH(AHG), The Natural Nurse *
