When a baby suffers from colic, joy is hard to come by—for them, their parents, and even the family pets!
Homeopathy, as always, offers a potential solution to ease the discomfort.
I have covered the topic of colic in my blog before. Today, I would like to introduce you to another essential homeopathic remedy that is highly effective for colicky infants: Natrum phosphoricum 6X.
If you have a colicky baby, one of the best homeopathic remedies to keep on hand is Natrum phosphoricum 6X.
Although many parents struggle to administer homeopathic remedies in hard pill form to their infants, Nat phos is commonly produced as a soft, dissolvable tablet that can be easily placed in the baby’s mouth.
Nat phos is my go-to “nappy bag remedy.” The nappy bag is a constant companion for babies, whether at home or out and about. As a result, you’ll never have to search far for your stash of Nat phos.
Remember to keep Nat phos on hand even beyond childhood. It’s a valuable addition to any well-stocked homeopathic medicine kit.
Not only did it help my mother ditch her antacids (much to the chagrin of Tums, Pepto-Bismol, Gaviscon, Rennie and others ), but having Nat phos handy can also come in handy during holiday dinners.
Nat phos is highly effective for treating acidity, especially when it presents as sour acidity. Studies have shown its effectiveness in combating excessive lactic acid from sugar consumption, as well as managing blisters or canker sores accompanied by burping and indigestion.
If you notice your skin turning green from wearing jewellery, that could be a sign that you should consider using Nat phos.
While perhaps not an obvious choice for addressing jewellery-related issues with homeopathy (after all, it is a serious form of medicine), it does serve as another powerful third leg to our stool* for choosing a homeopathic medicine for negative effects of acidity.
So remember to have Nat phos within reach, whether it’s for Christmas, New Year’s, or Father’s Day. Homeopathy is truly beneficial for everyone!
* Three-legged stool – This homoeopathic principle attributed to the old master (Dr. Adolph Lippe) states that while prescribing a medicine, three leading symptoms of that medicine should match the symptoms of the patient. Just as a stool with three legs is more stable than a stool with one leg, medicine given on the basis of at least three key symptoms is ore reliable than that treated with one symptom. Thus, a careful study is required to apply this law.
