Cough Syrups for Children & Adults May not Be Safe…but Here is a Healthy Alternative
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say an estimated 7,000 children ages 11 and younger are treated in hospital emergency departments each year because of the non-prescription drugs. The study was published by the American Academy of Pediatrics journal, Pediatrics
Echinacea Syrup for Kids and Adults – Here’s a Shaklee member’s recipe for Echinacea Syrup which she’s used successfully with her children.
1. Crush 1 Shaklee DR which contains Echinaccea per child in bowl with the back of a spoon.
2. For each tablet add: 1/2 tsp honey and a dash of cinnamon. Mix
3. For each tablet add: 1 1/2 Tbsp hot water and a little Performance. (Lemon lime or orange) Mix well.
4. Fill a medicine spoon for older children and use a dropper for younger ones.
Do this two or three times per day. My last pediatrician’s visit was Laura’s 2 year well visit. The doctor said Echinacea was fine to use. I haven’t been back since. Ian is doing great in kindergarten and hasn’t had a sick day.

You can take a Shakee DR tablet and adding a little Lemon Lime or Orange Performance mixed with very little water so it’s still syrupy – a completely healthy and totally absorbable option. It goes down easy for infants, toddlers, small children and the elderly who cannot swallow tablets.
