How to Treat Colic Homeopathically

If your baby has colic, you're probably dealing with bouts of crying which last longer than 3 hours every day, at least 3 days a week. Fortunately, there are several homeopathic remedies that can treat the condition effectively.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Brew some chamomile tea if your baby is crying and constantly requires holding or rocking, or if one cheek appears more flushed than the other.

2. Provide your child with colocynthis if his colic pain appears to come in waves and is relieved when you apply pressure to the abdomen.

3. Give your child magnesium phosphorica if the pain appears to get better after rubbing her tummy or applying warmth to her abdomen.

4. Use Dioscorea for your child if he seems to get relief from arching his back, or presents with gas, burping and nausea.

5. Give your child fennel seed before you feed her. Simmer 1 tsp. of the seed in a pint of hot water for 10 minutes. Strain the fennel seeds, and then give the tea to your child after it has cooled.

6. Add one tablet of acidophilus to your baby's diet daily. Break up the acidophilus and divide in the baby's milk throughout the day.

Tips & Warnings

• When treating colic with herbal teas, give your child a little, and then wait to see how the baby reacts. If your child accepts the tea, start with 1 oz. per day.
• Eliminating cruciferous vegetables, beans, onions, garlic, melon, spicy foods, alcohol and caffeine from breast milk may reduce colic symptoms.
• Don't give your baby more than 4 to 6 oz. of herbal tea per day. Your child may stop drinking milk if she drinks too much tea.
