Home Remedies for Children's ABDOMINAL PAIN
- Slippery Elm is renowned for its calming effect on the
digestive system. The powdered bark (available from
healthfood stores) can be stirred into a hot milky
drink or warmed fruit juice. It can also be taken in
tablet form after meals.
- Chamomile, Peppermint and Meadowsweet tisanes
are good for the digestion and will also help to soothe
stomach ache when sipped after mealtimes.
- Grated Ginger root tea sweetened with honey will
also help to remove feelings of nausea.
- Make an aromatherapy oil and massage the stomach
using gentle but firm circular strokes with the three
middle fingers, working around the abdomen in a
clockwise direction.
For babies up to 6 months old: use lavender or Dill in
a base of Almond oil.
For children over 1 year old: you can also use
Peppermint and Geranium, but choose just one
essence.
For children over 6: you can also use Rosemary,
combining any two of the recommended essences,
such as lavender and Peppermint or Geranium and
Rosemary.
