Many parents, seeing the suffering of their baby with colic, are ready to turn not only to official medicine, but also to folk methods.
One of them is dill water, which, frankly speaking, has nothing to do with dill.
To prepare it, fennel oil is dissolved in water in a ratio of 1 to 1000 or fennel fruits are brewed in water.
How does dill water work?
Fennel oil or infusion boasts carminative, antispasmodic and expectorant properties, which means that such a “medicine” can really relieve spasms and help the baby release gases from the intestines.
True, water can work not because it is “dill”, but because it is water.
When a child loses a lot of water (for example, through sweat), all the fluids in his body become thicker, including the contents of the intestines, from where water is absorbed.
As a result, bowel movement slows down and the baby may experience discomfort.
In such a situation, adding dill water helps restore the water balance in the body and improve digestion - but ordinary water copes with this task no worse.
Earlier we talked about whether it is possible to calm a child with the help of a gadget.
