HOME REMEDIES FOR MOUTH ULCER AND SWELLING IN GUMS FOR TODDLERS / BABIES

HOME REMEDIES FOR MOUTH ULCER AND SWELLING IN GUMS FOR TODDLERS / BABIES
Toddlers / Babies can get mouth ulcers and swelling in gums too. This may also lead to bad breath and your toddler / baby becoming cranky.
There are a few home remedies that can be administered before you take your baby to the doctor. Home remedies are safe and harmless but they are not a substitute for a doctor's consultation.

The following remedies can be tried : -
  • If you are breast feeding your baby. Keep breast feeding him/her. Breast milk can be very healing for mouth ulcers. (FOR TODDLERS & BABIES
  • You can apply coconut milk during the day time to the insides of the mouth and the gums. It will be soothing and help in healing. (FOR TODDLERS & BABIES)

  • Add salt to warm water and rinse your mouth with it. The proportion of salt should be high i.e., 3 tbsp of salt in one glass of warm water. Gargle with this water and let it stay in your mouth for at least 30 seconds. Swoosh the water around inside your mouth so that it covers your teeth and gums thoroughly. Do not rinse your mouth with plain water immediately if you want to have relief from the pain for longer time. (FOR TODDLERS ONLY)
  • If your baby suffers from swelling and infection in your gums more often, make it a habit of brushing your baby's teeth 3 times a day. Do not use a brush, but use your forefinger to brush gently. Please ensure that your finger nails are cut. Do not forget to make him rinse his mouth after every meal. Carry out proper hygiene. (FOR TODDLERS ONLY)
  • If the swelling does not subside for a couple of days and your baby is not eating properly or crying, see a dentist and go through the treatment prescribed.

JANAM GHUTTI / ORAKYARA MARUNDHU /HOME REMEDIES (NAATU VAIDYAM / PAATI VAIDYAM & AYURVEDA)
Please read my earlier post on Janam ghutti / Orakyara marundhu by clicking on the link below.


In India all new born babies are given some herbs (These herbs refer to Naatu Vaidyam , Ayurveda or common herbs/spices easily found in the kitchen)
Most of these home remedies are safe and harmless but it's always best to consult your doctor if you are in doubt.

Common Herbs that "must" form a part of the JANAM GHUTTI (FOR BABIES /TODDLERS) are :-

- Cough, Cold, Congestion in the Chest, Fever, Gastric & Wind. 




WHEN'S THE BEST TIME TO ADMINISTER THE GHUTTI

I used to give Janam ghutti to my babies immediately after they have their bath followed by some warm water.  If it’s very warm due to summers, you can use normal water at room temperature. Babies usually feel thirsty after a hot/warm bath. They happily take the ghutti and water followed by some breast milk and they have a peaceful post-bath sleep.

An Exception of Nutmeg: – An exception will be Nutmeg which can be given at night again if your baby does not have a proper sleep. Rub pure nutmeg on a stone with some water and give your baby a 1/4 tsp of the paste followed by some warm bottled milk /breast milk. Nutmeg has sedative properties and works as a natural sleep aid. Do this about half an hour before bed time. Nutmeg is totally harmless. Good sleep promotes healthy growth in babies. The night dose of Nutmeg is preferably given only if your baby has a disturbed sleep or doesn’t like to sleep at night.

How to give
Rub whole herbs/sticks on a stone with a little water and administer them.
Rub a little of all the above herbs. It will sum to a tablespoon of herbal paste. This can be given directly to the baby or you can add a bit of honey if the baby doesn’t like the taste.

*** With regards to honey, kindly consult your doctor before you give honey. Also if you are giving honey, please buy a good quality honey for your babies. Store it safely. One of the readers did warn me about botulism with regards to honey. 
Honey has been given to babies in my family since ages and it's tried and tested on my babies too...It's safe but every baby may have a different constitution, some may have a weak immune system....so, better consult your doctor, if your baby is below 1 year old. 


How to Store the herbs
Always buy your herbs fresh. But in case you can't source them in the place where you live then you store them in airtight glass jars or in airtight plastic bags.
Once in a way dry them in the sun and once they are back to room temperature, store them back.
In case there is no much sun in the place where you live either lightly dry roast it in a wok on a small flame or heat it in the microwave for a minute or 2 and once they are back to room temperature, store them back. Don't store them when they are hot as they will sweat and get fungus. Keep checking your herbs once in a way in case of storage so you can save them and have a longer shelf life. Herbs can last for a long time and can be used safely unless they get bugs in them.

JANAM GHUTTI / BAL GHUTTI / ORAIKYARA MARUNDHU /ORAI MARUNDHU


JANAM GHUTTI / BAL GHUTTI / ORAIKYARA MARUNDHU /ORAI MARUNDHU
Janam Ghutti is a mix of herbs given to babies traditionally in India. It has been used for generations together.  Janam Ghutti is completely herbal and so safe to use.
Although Janam Ghutti's are manufactured by various Ayurvedic pharmacies, I still suggest actually rubbing the herbs on a stone as they are fresh and more effective.
Nowadays, the pediatricians do not recommend giving Janam ghuttis, but I beg to differ as I have given both my kids janam ghutti and always felt that my children had fairly less issues growing up compared to babies their age who were not been given janam ghutti or been administered store bought janam ghutti. This is tried and tested.

Janam Ghutti helps by -:

  • Improving the appetite
  • Improves the digestive function
  • Helpful in flatulence, diarrhoea, dysentery, vomitting, acidity & indigestion
  • Better bowel movement for kids who are constipated
  • Aids in sleep.

Our Grandmother's (Dadi Maa / Paati) in those days used to administer safe things from their kitchen or herbs from their garden. These herbs were edible and safe and used to cure a multitude of illnesses without having to visit the doctor or buying expensive medicines which have chemicals with side effects.
The modern drugs definitely help but also have many contraindications & side effects. 
Living in Singapore and absolutely scared to feed my babies with so many drugs I turned to home remedies and have found them most effective not only for my babies but also for me. Many of my friend's and relatives found relief too. Hence, I decide to blog on it for the benefit of the larger audience. 
I would highly recommend giving babies janam ghutti instead of feeding them multivitamin syrups. You can still continue to give them multivitamin syrups as well.
Giving your babies Janam ghutti can help relieve them from a lot of uneasiness which the poor babies can’t express to us.

How to buy them
You can get these Janam ghutti starter kits at your nearest Ayurvedic shops. 
Don’t go for the powder form to beware of adulteration's. 
Always buy the whole herbs/sticks etc. 

How to Administer Janam Ghutti
Rub whole herbs/sticks on a stone with a little water and administer them. 
I used to give Janam ghutti to my babies immediately after they have their bath followed by some warm water.


Where to buy them
These herbs are harmless and safe to administer.
In Tamilnadu, you can find them in the traditional dappa chetti kadai (Ayurvedic and Herbal medicines shop).

In other states of India, you can find them in the Ayurvedic bhandaar (Ayurvedic shops)

In Singapore, you can find common herbs at Mustafa and for more varieties you can visit Jothi Pushpa Kadai(Jothi Flower shop) @ Little India.

In other countries too, you can find them. People who read this article please help refer to shops in other countries for the benefit of the larger audience. Please leave the info in the Comments section. I will later add it to the Post.

I have more information on janam ghutti/oraikyara marundhu on my blog. Click here for more info

GOING BACK IN TIME IN THE MODERN AGE FOR SOME TRADITIONAL HOME REMEDIES

GOING BACK IN TIME IN THE MODERN AGE FOR SOME TRADITIONAL HOME REMEDIES
My aim to include this particular section in my blog is to preserve our traditional home remedies, which are so simple, easily available and good for the body system and don’t have any side effects. I hope for each and everyone to benefit from these. As we are progressing we are loosing touch of all these home remedies and have started heavily relying on western medicines which have harmful chemicals and side effects too. Simple ailments can be cured with a simple remedy available at home or the backyard garden and need not be treated with expensive visits to the doctor and harmful chemicals ingested into the body.
Home remedies are treatments of certain common ailments using household items and techniques. They are effective in curing certain common ailments like cough, cold, sore throat, headache, fever, sprains, pains, itches, cuts, etc. These remedies may not have a scientific explanation, but have been observed to be extremely helpful in curing many ailments.
These remedies have been passed on orally from one generation to another. Most commonly these remedies are known as grandma's remedies since the old ladies in a house are generally well aware of these kinds of remedies. These remedies don't use any artificial or chemically synthesized medicines but instead use things from the kitchen like turmeric, mint, honey, ginger etc. It may also involve use of oils and other liquids.
Home remedies are becoming more and more popular among the new generation also since they save a lot of money that people generally spend in curing certain ailments using medicines. Home remedies are most of the time safe to use for anyone in any condition. However, there may be few catches here and there which a person needs know before applying these remedies.

These remedies are not sure shot and there effect are variable from person to person and place to place. They may be really effective on certain people while some may find it completely ineffective. Some may also find their ailment increased with the treatment. Therefore extra care is required before adopting any home remedy for any ailment. Home remedies have been a very important part of Indian homes since time immemorial. No matter how ever well developed science may get, home remedies will still be common in Indian homes.
In India, when a person gets sick, be it a child or an adult the first thing that the lady of the house does is use spices and herbs available at home to cure or ease the ailment. There is a fear for using Western medicines as it causes a lot of body heat and also has many side effects, whereas home remedies are absolutely safe and light on the stomach and the entire system. When one thinks of traditional home remedies one gets a nostalgic feeling associated with wise all knowing grandmothers and simple, natural ingredients like turmeric, ginger, pepper, and honey. Members of the older generation in India relied heavily on Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, as they were not convinced of the efficacy and safety of modern allopathic treatments. It was largely due to their experience and knowledge of the medicinal properties of various herbs that they were able to treat common diseases like diarrhea, gripes, cough, cold, fever, etc. Even today, it is quite common for parents to try to treat common illnesses at home by these methods rather than rush to the doctor at the first sneeze.

My aim is to be a guide for the younger generation, else we will loose all these secrets passed on by our wise ancestors.
I will try to cover the simple traditional remedies known as“ Naatu Vaidyam or Tribal medicine, Ayurveda, Siddha and Kerala herbal medicine, even Western home remedies. Have tried to add the different names by which the herbs are called(the English name, south Indian name and north Indian name of the herbs so that it can be easily understood by everybody.)
I will be happy to add more inputs(traditional remedies) that I receive from the people who visit my blog. If you would like to suggest a traditional home remedy that has worked for you, you can add it to the comments.

DADI MAA KE NUSKHE / PAATI VAIDYAM (GRANDMOTHER'S HOME REMEDIES) ESPECIALLY FOR OUR BABIES

DADI MAA KE NUSKHE / PAATI VAIDYAM (GRANDMOTHER'S HOME REMEDIES)

Since the time I started this column, many people have been writing to me, they ask me queries on dosages, alternatives etc. etc. I am glad to help as much as possible but I would like to share with my readers that I am not a physician (kindly check the disclaimer below) nor were our grandmother's but they knew how to relieve us with herbs and spices available immediately at home.
Below are some home remedies, which I have heard of, read about and some which are tried and tested and proven to be effective time and again. I owe a lot to my parents who believe strongly in the power of herbs and home remedies. My father has written down many remedies, some of which are shared by me here for the benefit of the people at large. I would love to have contributions from visitors too.


EFFECTIVE HOME REMEDIES FOR BABIES
Babies.......Our precious little ones. We wouldn't want anything to happen to them, but it is well known that the immune systems of babies below the age of one year are immature. Hence, they are very susceptible to falling sick with slight changes in weather, diet, water etc.
Every time I went to the doctor when my baby was sick, he gave me so many packets of medicines, one for cold, one cough, one for allergy, one for fever, one for stomach pain. I felt like I was torturing my baby force feeding her so many different medicines. I'd have to use all my power to subdue her and force feed the medicine. So many times, my baby would reject the medicines by spitting it, vomitting it after crying. After all this I used to wonder if the medicine actually went into her body or not.
I was scared to give her another dose as I was scared that it may become an overdose.
Feeding her the medicines was probably the biggest challenge for me.
The moment husband dear came home the first thing I would hand over to him was the challenge of feeding the Evening dose of the medicines of my baby.
I'm sure many people would agree that feeding a baby so many medicines is a daunting task and after feeding them you are still worried. We are also worried if our baby sleeps too much, has a urinary tract infection or feels constipated because of the medicines given by the doctor as these are the common side effects of consuming the medicines.
So, even after administering the medicines by the doctor. you are worried.......
That's when I realized the value of home remedies.
Indians as a race don’t like to give babies western medicines at the drop of the hat, it is for this reason that most Indian households stock up on medicinal herbs to tackle common situations such as gripes in the middle of the night or a sudden rise in body temperature.
These are also popularly known as Dadi Ma ke nuskhe (Grandmother's prescriptions).

Here is an advertisement that most Indians growing up would remember.....The Woodward's Gripe water Advertisement.


You can see that in the advertisement, a baby cries, the young mother is disturbed, immediately the grandmother of the baby comes and asks what's wrong and suggests her daughter-in-law to administer Woodward's Gripe water, then the great grandmother asks and the great-great grandmother asks. Such is the way, in Indian families, if anything happens, the whole family worries and usually the elderly suggest some home remedies, or herbs from the garden that can be administered to babies. This section is dedicated to preserve our traditional home remedies, which are so simple, easily available and good for the body system and don’t have any side effects. I hope for each and everyone to benefit from these. As we are progressing we are loosing touch of all these home remedies and have started heavily relying on western medicines which have harmful chemicals and side effects too. Simple ailments can be cured with a simple remedy available at home or the backyard garden and need not be treated with expensive visits to the doctor and harmful chemicals ingested into the body.
But not all home remedies may be suitable to every baby's constitution. Be sure to ask your child’s doctor to make sure anything you use is safe.

What to do when an Infant cries abnormally....

What to do when an Infant cries abnormally?
Whenever an infant cries abnormally for a long period of time, the parents need to find out what's wrong with him. Usually infants cry continuously because they are disturbed with something. It could be stomach pain, ear pain or anything that's making them uncomfortable. Since infants cannot talk they express it by crying.

What are the things to do when an infant cries?
1. Make sure that he/she is comfortable. Change his/her clothes and let him wear something loose & comfortable. A fresh pair of clothes could instantly make him /her comfortable. It is advisable to avoid synthetic clothing as this affects the baby's sensitive skin and may cause itching and a rash. Always use soft pre-washed cotton or Malmal (A soft thin plain weave fabric usually made of cotton or silk and dyed in pastel shades). Preferably use whites and non-dyed fabrics on the soft baby skin.

2. Check the baby's crib, blankets etc. Hope the baby is not bit by any insects/bugs. Babies are always an easy target for the creepies' and crawlies.

3. Do not wrap the infant in a cloth, just let him/her loose. Swaddling is confining and may restrict a baby's movement, it will irritate the baby furthermore if he is already irritated.

4. Give the baby some water / breast milk to soothe him/her.

Inspite of all this, if the baby still continues crying,

1. Check all the body parts of the baby for any rashes, insect bites, redness or discoloration. If you don't find any
2. Lightly press the baby's stomach, ears and back. The baby will react immediately if he/she is experiencing pain in any of these areas.

Till you can reach a medical practitioner,  Let the mother carry the baby or keep the baby close to her and keep assuring the baby by gently caressing, singing/ talking to the baby.

Try to soothe the baby by gently massaging the baby and take the baby to a medical practitioner. Let the medical practitioner know your observations.

LACK OF APPETITE IN BABIES. IS MY BABY GETTING ENOUGH BREAST MILK



LACK OF APPETITE IN BABIES. IS MY BABY GETTING ENOUGH BREAST MILK
Most New mother's are super anxious about their newborns. They are worried about whether the baby is getting enough breast milk. Is the supply good enough. Is he/she satisfied. Hope my baby doesn't remain hungry and many mothers also start formula milk as a substitute to breast milk thinking that the baby is not getting enough. This post is for all of them. This post will clear most myths that new mother's have regarding the appetite of the babies and the supply of breast milk.

"NOTHING CAN SUBSTITUTE BREAST MILK / MOTHER'S MILK". EVEN THE FORMULA MILK CONTAINER STATES THAT.....

Breast milk is the best form of nutrition for little infants and I always advocate giving breast milk to babies very strongly. The important thing is how would one know whether the breast milk supply is enough or not....Most new mothers worry that they are not getting enough breast milk but many times the breast milk supply is good enough. So always ensure that you massage the breast well and squeeze out before you latch on the baby to your breast. You can consult your doctor/ a nurse/ midwife on how to do this.

A breast feeding mother should have good nutrition and timely intake of food.
I strongly recommend Shatavari for increase in breast milk.
It's tried and tested. It's available in a Granulated Sugar form which can be added to milk or Himalaya Herbals sell them in Capsule form. I personally prefer the granulated sugar form.

Another problem is, new mothers always latch their babies on to their breasts the moment they cry. Crying could be related to various reasons and not only hunger.

Breastfeeding should be "on demand" (when your baby is hungry), which is generally every 1-3 hours. As newborns get older, they'll need to nurse less frequently — some may feed every hour and a half, whereas others may go 2-3 hours between feedings. Babies who are getting formula will likely take about 2-3 ounces every 2-4 hours. Newborns should not go more than about 4 hours without feeding.

Mothers may want to try nursing 10-15 minutes on each breast, then vary the time as necessary.

Call your baby's doctor if you need to awaken your newborn frequently or continually urge your baby to suck.

Most experts suggest you nurse or feed your baby whenever he or she seems hungry. Signs that babies are hungry include:

·  moving their heads from side to side

·  opening their mouths

·  sticking out their tongues

·  placing their hands and fists to their mouths

·  puckering their lips as if to suck

·  nuzzling again their mothers' breasts

·  showing the rooting reflex (when a baby moves its mouth in the direction of something that's  
   stroking or touching its cheek)

A rigid feeding schedule is not necessary; you and your baby will eventually establish your unique feeding pattern. Babies know (and will let their parents know) when they're hungry and when they've had enough. Watch for signs that your baby is full (slow, uninterested sucking; turning away from the breast or bottle) and stop the feeding once these signs appear.

As babies gain weight, they begin to eat more at each feeding and go longer between feedings. There may be other times when your infant seems hungrier than usual. Continue to nurse or feed on demand. Nursing mothers need not worry — Breastfeeding stimulates milk production and your supply of breast milk will automatically adjust to your baby's demand for it.

New mothers, especially breastfeeding moms, are often concerned that their infants may not be getting enough to eat. It's important for breastfed infants to be seen by their pediatrician 48 to 72 hours after a mother and newborn leave the hospital. During this visit, the baby will be weighed and examined, and the mother's breastfeeding technique can be evaluated. It's also an opportunity for nursing mothers to ask questions.

If a breastfed baby is doing well, the doctor will probably schedule another visit for around 2 weeks of age. Formula-fed babies are usually checked between 2 and 4 weeks of age, unless parents have specific concerns.

You can be assured that your baby is getting enough to eat if he or she seems satisfied, produces about six to eight wet diapers a day, has regular bowel movements, sleeps well, is alert when awake, and is gaining weight. A baby who is fussing, crying, seems hungry, and does not appear satisfied after feeding may not be getting enough to eat. If you're concerned that your baby isn't getting enough to eat, call your doctor.

Many infants "spit up" a small amount after eating or during burping, but a baby should not vomit after feeding. This can be due to overfeeding, but vomiting after every feeding may be a sign of an allergy, digestive problem, or other problem that needs medical attention. If you have concerns that your baby is spitting up too much, call your doctor.

Although your baby will probably start on some solid foods between 4 and 6 months, breast milk or formula will remain the most important source of nutrition through the first year of life.

Commercially prepared infant formula is a nutritious alternative to breast milk. Bottle feeding can offer more freedom and flexibility for the mother, and it makes it easier to know how much the baby is getting.

Because babies digest formula more slowly than breast milk, a baby who is getting formula may need fewer feedings than one who breastfeeds.

If you feel your baby's appetite is not good, monitor his weight, if he is gradually putting on weight do not worry. Also monitor his activities, as long as he is achieving the milestones matching to his age, you do not need to worry.

After the 4th month, you can introduce your baby slowly to solid foods. monitoring whether he is able to digest the same.

Introduce one food at a time, if he/she is able to take it then continue for a week, then the following week introduce him to the next thing.

****A baby's tummy is the size of his fist - remember this as you are feeding him; it doesn't take much food to make a "meal"!****

HOME REMEDIES FOR SUNSTROKE

HOME REMEDIES FOR SUNSTROKE
Surya Santap (heat exhaustion) leads to trishna (excessive thirst).
Pitta dosha is primarily involved in trishna of surya santap and is characterized by a bitter taste in the mouth, a burning sensation in the head, a yellowish tinge in the eyes, faecal matter and urine besides unconsciousness.
Persons afflicted with trishna like to have cold drinks.

Heat exhaustion is endemic to hot climates like India (long and severe summers). The person suffers from high fever, thirst, rapid pulse beats, absence of sweating and confusion. A more severely affected person may lose consciousness altogether.

When your dear one has a sunstroke, do the following thing :-
