Most parents, taking care of the health of their babies, neglect the use of potent drugs and try to replace them with harmless herbs, one of which is chamomile. It is necessary to brew it for a child correctly, depending on the purpose of use.
Instructions
Step 1
Chamomile baths are very useful for babies. They not only help soften the baby's skin, but also heal wounds, scratches and abrasions on it. To prepare the bath, take 1 tablespoon of chamomile and pour 1 liter of boiling water, let it stand for 10-15 minutes and pour the resulting broth into the water for bathing the baby. The finished herbal solution should be slightly colored.
Step 2
For children with digestive problems, colic and bloating, chamomile should be brewed differently. To do this, take 1 teaspoon of herb, pour 1 glass of boiling water and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Give the resulting infusion to the baby 1 teaspoon before each feeding. If necessary, you can add a little sugar to the chamomile broth.
Step 3
In addition, chamomile is an excellent remedy in the fight against colds. For sore throat in a child, prepare a chamomile broth in the following way: pour 1 teaspoon with 1 glass of boiling water and let it brew for 15-20 minutes. Give the baby 1 teaspoonful of the broth after each feeding.
Step 4
You can also give a decoction of chamomile to children as a prophylactic agent. To do this, pour 1 teaspoon of herb with 1 cup of boiling water, let it brew for about 10 minutes and sweeten a little if necessary.
Step 5
Chamomile inhalations are no less useful for babies. The vapors of this medicinal plant have a disinfecting, wound healing and anti-inflammatory effect. Brewing chamomile for inhalation is very simple. To do this, take 1 tablespoon of herb, pour 1 cup of boiling water and let the resulting solution brew for 30-40 minutes. Then add 1 liter of boiling water to the resulting broth. Cool the solution to the desired temperature and hold the baby over it for about 10-15 minutes.
