infant massage for jaundice baby

[Guest guest]

I have a client whose baby has jaundice and has for 3 weeks. Her

bilirubin count is 12.9 and declines but not much and actually went

back up a tad in a week. Would the infant massage be good to do or

would it stir up too many toxins in a little body already taxed by the

jaundice. I have told the mom that I think she should see John

Doulliard for liver support and she will be seeing him on Tuesday. Any

advice is greatly appreciated.

Thankyou,

And lots of breastmilk and sunlight should help. 3 wks is a long time.

Hi Sonya;

 

In addition to the sunlight and such i'm sure you all have been

working with, after referring up to this outside of your scope of

practice item, as you have done, I'd pull out your notes on essential

oils and reread that story about the jaundiced baby and it's amazing

results with specific essential oil application and the enemas. How

often has this baby been having bowel movements? It may be different

cause and I too will look forward to what Dr. John has to say.

 

Sarita and Dr. Lad have talked about giving newborns a linctus

(lickable preparation of herbs, very small amount) of herb with we can

say in this country, maybe agave or some such unctuous sweet,

certainly not the usual honeys in use - enough to make palatable

perhaps guduchi, one or more of the liver/blood cleansing herbs, for

other liver issues so this makes sense here and if it was my baby,

that is what I'd do. Dosage and frequency is not my background to say

for another. I'd also be using essential oils beneficial for liver,

what do you have? The Release blend comes first to mind, which

includes geranium and chamomile in it. Bitter sweet ones, topical

over the liver, dilute slightly. Can be layered with castor oil and

heat compress to drive oils/draw toxins.

 

12.9 is within the considered safe range, I think it is 15 or higher

when the docs want to take over. But of course, too high for too

long. I personally would think the massage supportive to all systems

including circulation and elimination, at least if the bowel is moving

properly and enough wet diapers/breast milk etc. A little more

turmeric in mom's intake, in fenugreek and ginger tea also comes to

mind for Mom, with more focus on the succulent green veggies. THat's

my educated logical guesses for supports, but there may be issues we

don't know about inhibiting baby's breakdown of those wastes so it is

good to get more trained help also.
