Easing the Ouch of Teething ~ Camilia

As I think about all the phases of babyhood I’ll be revisiting with this new little boy coming our way, there’s a few I am kind of steeling myself… like teething? Yeah, even though seeing that little glimmer of pearl showing through is a huge milestone (and calls for lots of Facebook and Twitter updates!)… teething is a lengthy process, and can be filled with much discomfort (for baby too!).

My son never liked chewing a cold washcloth or teether, so we had to try other remedies. With the new baby, I’ll try Camilia – a teething relief medicine reported to relieve teething pain instead of just masking it.  Although I haven’t had the chance to try Camilia out yet, I’ve used other Boiron products, and I like what I hear about Camilia:

Camilia is a homeopathic, one-step teething solution, easier than the two-step numbing agent / anti-inflammatory often used by parents. Camilia’s sterile, single-use liquid oral doses are pre-measured; they do not cause numbness, drowsiness or an upset stomach.

What’s in Camilia? Three natural, plant-based active ingredients:

• Chamomilla 9C HPUS* – Relieves teething pain accompanied by irritability
• Phytolacca decandra 5C HPUS – Relieves painful gums
• Rheum officinale 5C HPUS  Relieves minor digestive disorders associated with teething

Camilia can be used for children ages one month and older, in doses as frequent as every 15 minutes, with no risk of overmedicating, drug interactions, masking of other symptoms, or numbing your baby’s gag reflex. Camilia includes NO benzocaine, dyes, sugar or preservatives, and it is tasteless.
