Caring for a little one with colic can feel overwhelming, especially when the days are long and the nights are even longer. Many parents look for gentle, natural ways to bring a bit more ease and calm into those difficult moments. Homeopathic remedies are one option families often explore as part of a broader soothing routine, and here are some homeopathic remedies that may help.
COLOCYNTHIS
Belly bloated. Pains cutting, griping, tearing, violent, in waves. Sometimes with diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. BETTER FOR BENDING DOUBLE, for pressure, for passing a stool. Worse for drinking, before a stool. Babies commonly pull their legs up to their bellies and scream if moved.
CHAMOMILLA
Repeated episodes of excessive crying, often accompanied either by the drawing up of legs or stiffening of back. Irritability – baby screams angrily in pain. Will be soothed momentarily by walking/rocking but not for long. Cheeks often flushed. Sometimes bubbles of saliva around mouth. Nappies may be green.
DIOSCOREA
Belly rumbling, windy. Pains cramping, griping, around the navel, twisting.
BETTER FOR BENDING BACKWARDS, for stretching out. Worse for bending forward or during the morning. Babies arch back and scream. They have rumbly, windy tummies and do not want to lie down and are better from being held upright.
