I have a baby boy who is 3 months old and his lips crack. What can be the cause

and what is the remedy? Our family is strictly vegetarian. No eggs, no fish and

no meat. Thank you for your help.

May be due to heat in the body. You can apply pure ghee on the lips.

Alternatively, give a glass of warm milk mixed with one spoon ghee at bed time

for 3 to 4 days. This will bring out the heat from the body. You will have to

melt the ghee also to mix in milk.

Gopala Acarya dasaji,

Hari Om !

 

For dry and cracked lips, instil a few drops of mustard oil (sarson ka

tel) on navel area & Leave this on for 10 to 15 minutes for a few days.

Swamiji,

 

Would you kindly explain this remedy for us students of Ayurveda? Is it in

support of agni in some unusual way?

 

I like the simplicity and connectedness of this!

 

Namaskar,

Mr . Gopala .

 

As it has been suggested that the cracked lip should be due to increased heat in

the body of your baby boy . There is also one suggestion to give a glass of warm

milk mixed with 1 tsf ghee to the baby boy . In my view , a glass of milk with

ghee in a whole day for a baby boy of 3 months old , can't be justified . In

such a small age , only mother's milk should be given by breastfeed .

 

Instead , you can apply cow ghee or butter on the lips of the baby boy .

Also see , if his mother have cracked nipples . If so , then tell her to apply

the same to the nipples .

 

If the baby is having loose motions having dark yellow or green or chocolate

colour , then give a simple home remedy . Take 50 ml boiled cooled water . Add

raw sugar 1 tea spoon ful to it . You can add 1 tsf of glucose powder too . Mix

it thoroughly . And give it to baby 2 tsf at a time . Give the total amount of

50 ml water , in the whole day .

Thanks for all your answers. I have tried to apply the mustard oil, but so far

it has no positive result. Someone has suggested that it may be the result of

the boy's licking the lip, as he does it. Only the lower lip cracks. I am still

applying the oil on the navel. I did not give the cow's milk knowing that it

can't be done ate this age. The baby is only breastfed. Thank you all for

helping.

I am sorry, I overlooked the age of the child. The mother must be having too

much heat in her body. Let she change for satvik food. Avoid much spicy, oily

and heat generating food. Through her milk, the child's body will become cool

and the cracked lips problem may get solved.

 

I did face similar problem when my son was borne. The ayurvedic doctor gave

medicine to my wife and son got cured within two weeks.

I just wanted to thank swami for the mustard oil advice as it ultimately cured

the problem. Sorry for late reply... But better late than never.
