Infant Colic:
Infant colic is a common complaint that parents experience when their infants are around six months old. Colic is usually defined as bouts of inconsolability lasting for more than 30 minutes, but can vary in severity. Infants who experience colic may be restless, have a hard time sleeping, and make loud noises.
Infant colic can be caused by a number of things, including food allergies, reflux, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), and viral infections. Treatment typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
Naturopathic doctors are licensed professionals who use naturopathic medicine, which is a form of holistic healthcare that focuses on natural treatments and therapies. Naturopathy is based on the principle that the body’s own healing powers can be harnessed to treat illness.
Infant colic is a common problem that can be difficult to treat. Naturopath treatment can help with infant colic, which is a condition characterized by excessive and frequent crying in infants.
Naturopathic treatments focus on natural methods of healing, such as dietary changes, herbal remedies, homeopathy and lifestyle modifications. Dietary changes may involve eliminating certain potentially allergenic foods from the baby’s diet or introducing probiotics to balance the gut microbiota.
Herbal remedies can include chamomile tea to soothe stomach discomfort or fennel essential oil to reduce spasms. Homeopathy may involve using a remedy specific to the individual child’s symptoms, while lifestyle modifications may involve increased skin-to-skin contact and swaddling to comfort the baby.
Naturopath treatment at Natural Health Clinic of Halton can provide relief for infant colic without exposing them to the possible side effects of medications.
