REMEDIES 2
Fennel (or anise if no fennel is available) belongs to the most common group of household remedies. Fennel, anise, caraway and dill are the so-called ‘warming teas’. Whenever there is anything wrong with your baby’s digestion, a weak fennel infusion will be of great benefit and will help the mother to remedy a temporary indisposition.
Yarrow, given as a very weak infusion, is good for diarrhoea and loss of appetite. If this fails to stop the discharge, add a small pinch of tormentil and give teaspoonfuls of this weak infusion throughout the day.
Goldenrod is a reliable remedy when the kidneys are out of order. The fresh plant extract from this herb, either as Solidago or as an ingredient in Nephrosolid, is one of the best and most effective medicines for the kidneys and the bladder. If you cannot obtain any goldenrod, a weak rose hip or horsetail infusion can be used instead.
Whey concentrate {Molkosan) is a good antiseptic for minor injuries. This is a natural lactic acid product which can be used in the same way as iodine, although it is certainly less harmful than iodine.
Hypericum can also be used as an antiseptic, and dabbed on externally. Dr Joseph Schier and other well-known paediatricians have recommended this simple remedy made from St John’s wort even for the prevention of tetanus.
