caraway tea
Colic, believed to be caused by intestinal spasms, is a very painful and distressing condition which is very common in young infants. Recommendations to reduce infant colic include eliminating foods such as garlic, onions and cabbage from the diet of nursing mothers. Taking treatment in the form of caraway tea can help to reduce spasms, and ease the pain and discomfort associated with colic, as needed.
