It is important to take your herbal medicine at the prescribed dose - remember it doesn't work if you don't take it. Here's some tips beyond a spoonful of sugar that will help your medicine go down.
And remember, herbal medicine is medicine. It isn't meant to taste or act like a fun soft drink or lollie. Sometimes we'll add a dash of licorice or fennel or cinnamon to improve the taste, but yes - sometimes the mixes are just a bit bitter. If you're not coping well, here's our advice on how to take herbal medicine.
