teething

[Kim Allen]

hello my 15 month old is getting his molars in. he is having alot of pain. are there any good natural remedies? we use vanilla on his gums and he loves that but i was looking for something that last longer. all he wants to do is nurse and he has been gritting his teeth and already chipped one tia

Hi, I buy Herbs for Kids gum-o-mille, for us it works great! Even on adults really. Its a temporary relief but I will warn you my son at times hates this stuff! Mostly because its a warming effect that just takes them by surprise. It has clove oil mostly but great stuff. At times he will let me do it while he was cutting molars. I just dab it on my finger and start rubbing as quickly as possible around his gums.

I know clove oil works wonders whenever I have tooth or gum aches, but I would heavily dilute it for a child simply because the taste and burn can be overwhelming. I know there is also a homeopathic commercial product by the same people that make gripe water as well.
