Homeopathic teething remedies are a great way to ease the
discomfort of baby teething. Homeopathic remedies have been used for
many years and can be highly effective, but you should only use a
homeopathic teething remedy in conjunction with expert advice and
guidance.
Apis mellifica is used to ease swollen gums before and after the
eruption of teeth. Apis mellifica means 'whole honeybee' and was first
discovered by the Rev. Brauns, in Thuringia, Germany, in 1853.
Calcarea carbonica: Some babies are late to teeth and the
experience can be very distressing for late developers. Babies who need
this remedy are usually chubby, slow to learn to crawl or walk and
their heads often sweat during naps or sleep at night.
Essential oil of cloves has long been known as a natural local
anesthetic. You administer the clove oil by adding one drop in one or
two tablespoons of organic sunflower oil.
Kreosotum: This remedy can ease a child's stress when she has
irritating saliva and severe discomfort during teething. Kreosotum is
very beneficial if a baby's teeth succumb to decay soon after erupting
from the gums.
Pulsatilla: especially good for teething babies who are clingy, nervous or tearful.
Sulphur: good if your baby has a reddish irritation or rash on the
chin or diaper area during teething episodes. Diarrhea (often whitish)
is not caused irectly by teething but because of stress from teething.
The baby is irritable and anxious, feeling worse from being warm.
Other Natural Homeopathic teething remedies include a stick of
licorice and
chamomilla. As stated above, any parent contemplating
using a homeopathic remedy for teething should do so only in
conjunction with expert medical advice.
