Homoeopathy and Colic and Reflux

posted in: Babies, Colic and Reflux | 0

It’s hard to imagine anything more distressing than the persistent screams of a colicky baby.  Thank goodness homoeopathy can provide welcome relief to both bub and the exhausted parents.

Chamomilla: is for the baby who is angry, irritable, restless and very sensitive to pain. They want to be picked up, put down and then picked up again; they don’t know what they want and are better from being carried and from constant movement which soothes them a little.

Also consider:

Bryonia: Opposite to Chamomilla these grumpy babies want to stay still with firm pressure on their belly.

Colocynthis: Twisting, writhing and doubling up from waves of spasmodic pain.

Ignatia: Consider if nothing works and there has been a sadness or disappointment.

Mag phos: Spasmodic pain relieved by gentle pressure and warmth. 

Nux vomica: Bloating, arching, tight belly; especially after mum has taken rich foods, alcohol, coffee or medications. 

Silica:  Rejection of breastmilk or vomiting of curds after the feed. Mum should take it twice daily. 

And for desperate parents consider; Cocculus – sleep deprivation, Sepia – feeling completely fed up, Ignatia – disappointed and sad. Along with Kali phos once or twice daily as a nerve tonic.
