Planetary HerbalsCalm Child Herbal Syrup - Includes Soothing Botanicals Chamomile, Lemon Balm, Catnip & More - 4oz

After deciding to wean our moderate ASD son off of prescriptions (Risperidone & Quetiapine) and go the natural route.We prioritized our path based on what results we were looking for. First thing was Focus, then Calm, then Omegas for brain health and lastly probiotics for gut health. We had tried another calming blend from a local healthy living store and the results were good, but when they were out of their blend for a period of time, we tried the Planetary blend. The results were better and our son preferred the taste of Planetary's blend over the other blend. In conjunction with some Focus drops, omegas & probiotcs; we have seen a lot of progress since we have switched from prescriptions. This is a product we have been using for over a year and will continue to use in the foreseeable future.Please, anyone wanting to try this remember it can take some time for the supplements to show signs of working. Weaning our son off of prescriptions and switching to herbal took a good 6 months to fully do that transition. It was a difficult 6 months and his behavior was worse before it got better. In the end, I would do it again to see the results we have now nearly 2 years later.

This product has become a staple in our home. My 11 year old tells me the taste is awful but feels it helping so, chokes it down anyway.I have noticed a difference is my child's ability to recover from feelings of anxiousnes, frustration and mood variability.Love it.

Item arrived with cap cracked, seal broken, and a lot of its contents spilled within the flimsy baggie it was shipped in. Was supposed to be shipped in bubble envelope, but was wrapped in plastic baggie and placed within thinly padded envelope. Also, product does not appear to work as described.

Works well with my son. He has a terrible temper, but definitely will notice a difference when it wears off. I give him 2x daily. Definitely needs to be mixed with something, pretty strong taste by itself.

It calms my 6yr old son down very little I didn't notice a difference but every kid is different may or may not work for others.

I don’t write many reviews but I really felt like I needed to share our experience with this product. I started using this when my daughter was younger around 10 or so after it was recommended by my pediatrician. She was very bright in school but had trouble focusing, and this product seemed to also help calm her behavior a bit while at home. After a few years we stopped using it as it seemed she really didn’t need it anymore. When she was graduating from middle school she started to have severe anxiety issues and began working with a therapist. I decided to try to the calm child again just to see how it would work and again it helped greatly. The therapist had no issues with her using this product and she has since been using it all through high school. She recently graduated with honors and will be leaving for college in the fall, and Calm Child will be going with her!

My daughter age 10 has a extremely rare and incurable genetic condition called NKH. Her condition is considered mild however she is full of energy, she’s a very happy child but can become impulsive at times, most likely because she is nonverbal and gets frustrated at times trying to communicate. I have been giving Calm child to her 2-3 x’s a day for a few months now. I find this in combination with her Procentra 10ml does wonders. Sometimes I just give her the calm child and that does the trick. I find it mellows her out and takes the edge off of her nonstop energy. She doesn’t mind the taste at all and I give her 1 tsp.

This has been a godsend for our ADHD kid from day 1 before we got an ADHD diagnosis. Teacher noticed a difference that 1st day.It works wonders after school when his meds have worn off & we have homework and after school activities. We are so glad it worked for our kid as it didn’t for a friend’s.It doesn’t taste well, kind of like black licorice, so we dispense it in about 1/3 cup of chocolate milk and my kid will drink it.
