Teething Babies, Colic, + Digestion

Gripe Water is the recommended herb for young babies who are teething, according to our instructor. Gripe water contains Xiao Hui Xiang (fennel), ginger, and chamomile. It is used to help teething, colic, and digestive problems in young children.

Xiao Hui Xiang is fennel seed and is known to soothe and warm the digestive track. Sometimes you will see a bowl of fennel at Indian restaurants. Fennel helps move the Qi in the stomach, so next time you see a bowl of it in a restaurant, take a bit and see if it helps relax and soothe your stomach.
