Help for the digestive system of babies, children and adults!

Description

Catnip and Fennel is a synergistic combination containing two time-honoured herbs that primarily support the digestive and nervous systems.

Catnip, an herb of the mint family has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine as a sedative to calm the nervous and digestive systems. The herb is also used to reduce fevers by promoting sweating.

In phytotherapy, the fennel fruits, commonly known as seeds, are used to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort, to relieve bloating as well as stomach pain and cramps, thanks to the essential oils of the herb.

Benefits:

• Traditionally used in phytotherapy to help relieve digestive spasms (antispasmodic) and flatulent dyspepsia.
• Helps relieve feverish conditions by promoting sweating.
• Helps relieve nervous conditions.
• Used as an astringent to help relieve diarrhea.

May also help to relieve:

• Colic
• Stomach upset
• The pain of teething (see Tooth-Soothe by Capucin for an interesting combination for your little one!)
• Constipation as well as diarrhea
• Reduce fever
• Enriches and promotes the production of breast milk.
