If the person suffering colic is a baby, the first remedy to consider is Colocynthis except if they’re teething, in which case, reach for the Chamomilla. If the baby is arching back with the pain, however, Dioscorea is your remedy.
If you’re prescribing for yourself or an other adult, has the pain come on after eating and drinking too much? If so, Nux Vomica is your remedy. If the person has a lot of bloating and wind, reach for Carbo Veg, but it they’re drawing their legs up into the foetal position, reach for Colocynthis. If, on the other hand, they’re arching back to stretch out the stomach, use Dioscorea.
All the wonderful homeopathic remedies mentioned above come from the plant kingdom and are safe for babies and adults alike.
