Your baby, being six months old, may be just starting to get teeth

out of gums. This event causes worries, since baby will pass stool

repeatedly, keep crying and also show cough, cold, low fever etc. The

energy which goes in all this may cause you the feeling that baby is

weak.

 

Anyway, author gives you some home remedies as per your querry:

 

Cook rice with a little extra water and let it become very

soft. Mix 1-2 date with rice, grind it, add little water in it and

give it to baby 2-3 times a day to make a weak child strong and

healthy. Alteranately, you can boil date in milk too. Add 1 cup water

to 1 cup milk, add grated date, boil till 1 cup milk remains. Add

alittle cardamom and let baby take it when lookwarm.

 

Dissolve 5-10 drops of basil leaves juice in water and make

child to drink it daily for healthy muscles, bones. This will also

make him/her learn to walk early.

 

One reason for weakness could be worms(Krimi). See earlier posts on

ayurveda for symptoms of worms. Giving vavding (Vidanga is

the sanskrit name) with buttermilk or decoction of dry ginger will

relieves child from worms. If worms are there, details of making

decoction and dosage can be suggested.

 

Lastly, since child may be starting teeth, a remedy for easy

teething: Dissolve a little crystal sugar in water and squeeze lemon

in the water. feed 2 tsp to children 4 times a day so that he/she

gets initial teeth very easily does not suffer from repeated

excretion of stool.

 

Best of health...

Maham,

 

My teacher always recommended to breast feed for as long as possible. He also

recommended using the whey from split milk. Just boil milk and add some lemon

juice or vinegar and strain out the whey from the curds. Use the curds to make

saag panir for a healthy meal for you. Give your baby a good full body massage

at least once daily.

Dear Maham

 

Both Gayatri Devi and Guru Bandhu have suggested giving massage to

the baby. Guru Bandhu's discussing breast feed brings in another

point to authors mind.

 

Massage to the baby right from 7th day after birth is common indian

custom. Mother too receives massage for 40 days after child birth. If

the child birth has occured at in-laws house, ancient acharyas have

declared mothe a sort of 'untouchable' for 40 days, the real purpose

behind this may she gets adequate rest and VIP treatment of special

medicinal food such as Fenugreek Laddus and Gondh-ke-laddu. 40

days 'untouchable' period gives her adequate rest and other treatment

so that all the reproductive system returns to normal, baby gets

adequate breast feed.

 

Baby massage oil is a special oil, made from sesame oil and

Aswagandha, if baby is weak. This oil is readily available in Indian

phrmacies as well as on on-line sites (e.g. allayurveda.com).

Aswagandha is a muscle builder and brain tonic too. However, while

starting, equal mixture of aswgandha oil with other oil (sesame or

coconut) may be used so that body gradually knows the use of

aswagandha. Oil should be warmed a little before massage. Massage

done by mother herself produces best results. In case there is any

difficulty in obtaining oil where you are located, see an earlier

post on making hair oil by this author at message no 1210. Instead of herbal

powders suggested there, use aswgandha powder only and use equal mixture of

sesame and coconut oil for boiling aswgandha powder. Vata and pitta vitiation

does not allow weight gain, in general.

 

Aswagandha is a unique herb which can cause both weight gain as well as weight

loss. Taking juice of its fresh leaves is recommended often by Baba Ramdev. But

if one takes powder of its roots and makes aswgandha ksheer pak (procedure

available in file 'medicine_chest.doc' in folder 'articles' in group files) the

weight gain is certain, especially if the age is less than 20 years.

In ayurveda, the herbs and foods behave differently depending on how they are

used, in sharp contrast to modern medicines, which have only one uniform

behaviour, suppress one set of symptoms (disease) and produce another (side

effects).

 

Overemphasis in this group on contacting nearest ayurvedist rather than going

purely by suggestions on the list is due to this unique behaviour of herbal

medicines. Often the list suggestion are incomplete in exact dosage, method of

administration, source of meidine, food restrictions etc. They will be

incomplete since these are mere suggestions and not prescriptions.

 

Author would like to point out a special property of milk. for all who have any

allergy to milk, try the whey suggested by Gurubandhu. It contains all vitamins,

minerals but leaves out the proteins which are alergens for some. Whey is also

useful when loose motions occur.

Author devotes a separate post to whey next. Thanks Gurubandhu for beinging out

this topic.
