Healing remedies or home remedy recipes were passed down the generations of families by great grandma and grandmas.
When modern medicine took over the old recipes were forgotten but now they have been proving popular as a cost effect way of treating members of a family.
Some of the popular tips of healing remedies are listed below:
Colic: This can be an allergy caused by a nursing mother. If a mother is breast feeding then try to avoid a large consumption of sugar, chocolate, cauliflower, dairy and caffeine.
If a mother is using bottled milk then switch the baby’s milk to another brand.
One tip is to mix a little Lavender essential oil with Aloe Vera and massage on the babies feet.
Nappy rash: try spreading yoghurt over the affected area. Take a capsule of a ‘probiotic’ and mix with water to feed the baby, or mix the liquid with Aloe Vera and apply over the baby’s bottom.
Baby milk can be the cause of many irritants including diarrhoea. Make sure mum and baby are not receiving any cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is the remedy to rectify the complaint.
Warning: If the complaint does not clear up quickly seek help from your doctor.
