GRIPE WATER : SAFE FOR BABIES... SAFE FOR ADULTS AS WELL! $11.00 Europeans have used gripe water for over a century to sooth baby distress due to gas, colic, stomach cramps, and teething. However, gripe water isn't widely known in the United States. And that's a shame: this formula relieves some colicky babies in 5-20 minutes!

Baby's Bliss GripeWater contains the natural herbs Ginger and Fennel, which have been shown to be beneficial for easing nausea and pain due to gas and colic symptoms in babies.

Major ingredients in Baby's Bliss

Fennel is popular as a cooked vegetable, but has also been used since ancient times to sooth digestion.

Fennel - Used in Ancient Greece and Rome

During the third century B.C. Hippocrates recommended fennel to ease infant colic. Four hundred years later, Dioscorides called it an appetite suppressant and recommended the seeds to nursing mothers to boost milk production. The Roman naturalist Pliny included fennel in 22 preparations. -http://www.capricornslair.com/fenseedwhols.html

Ginger - Ancient Herbal Remedy

Ginger is originally from Southeast Asia. Its use has been chronicled in ancient texts extending to the 4th century B.C. The Greeks imported it from the East, centuries before Discorides recorded its use in the 1st century A.D. Although more commonly known as a culinary flavoring, ginger is also an effective supplement. Ginger is said to ease digestive concerns.
