Organic Gripe water is an easy-to-use, gentle on the stomach product for babies suffering of colic & has been an ancient tradition passed on through generations of parents. The formula combines ginger, fennel, & chamomile to provide ease for symptoms such as uncontrollable crying, fussing, sleeplessness, teething, and hiccups. Each serving offers relief for up to four hours and is free of preservatives such as methylparaben and polyparaben. Gripe water is also safe for adult consumption for the relief of gastrointestinal discomfort and can be helpful in soothing symptoms associated with chemotherapy & traveling.
About Colic: The cause of colic is unknown, however, many believe it is due to an under developed nervous system or gastrointestinal problems. Roughly 20 percent of babies, get colic, which equally affects males and females regardless of birth order. Generally, colic appears in babies around the age of two to four weeks and last for three or more months. Signs of colic include uncontrollable, inconsolable crying for more than three hours, several days a week.
