Well, two of my four daughters had colic. Sure wish I had known about this remedy then!
Please share the following with mother's you know ... for their sanity and baby's comfort.
Castor oil has been known for thousands of years as a powerful botanical anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. The beauty is that it is a topical treatment. The healing properties are attributed to it's unique 87% composition of ricineolic acid - not found elsewhere. The plant is indigenous to India and area. Look for castor oil from this part of the world for the best quality.
This remedy is good if your infant's belly is tight and bloated and/or gas is being passed. Castor oil is a well-known and powerful purgative for the bowels. Warmed and massaged into an infant's belly, however, castor oil is comforting and effective for relieving colic and expelling intestinal gas.
