Soothing your baby during colic episodes is tough! Among our babies, colic and digestive upset is sadly normal. Our Colic Liniment uses the most gentle and safe carrier oil for babies and small children, Grapeseed Oil. In it we add Ginger and Peppermint Essential Oils because they are a powerhouse for ease of digestive upset and safe for babies! Even though we are careful in formulating the ratio of oil to essential oil in this liniment, be sure and test on a small patch of your baby's skin before using. Directions for use: Rollover baby's belly a couple times to dispense a small amount of liniment. Gently massage* liniment on baby. The oils will be absorbed through the largest organ on the human body...the skin! You can combine liniment treatment with a soothing herbal bath (our Baby's Bath herbal tea uses Chamomile, Lavender, and Calendula), and in extreme cases use Catnip extract in Glycerine to calm and ease baby to rest. We found it most helpful to feed our babies as close to sitting straight up as possible. This reduces reflux. If breastfeeding, use our More Mother's Milk tea to increase milk production and improve the nutrition of the milk as well!
