- Vilakennai- Castor oil is very good medicine for babies of 6 months and above. Before that, it is not advised to give orally. Apply 2 or 3 drops of this oil on a betel leaf and heat the leaf. Apply this leaf on baby's abdomen.If the baby has motion problem, this can be tried.
- If the baby doesn't pass motion everyday, we can apply castor oil on the Lower abdomen and it is a practice in Tamil Nadu, castor oil is applied on the crown of the head as well. Not passing motion once a day or twice/thrice a week leads to weakening of large intestine.
- For babies above 6 months, clean your hands and apply 1 or 2 drops of castor oil and gently mix it with a 1 or 2 drops of milk. Upon giving this to the baby, the baby will pass motion within an hour or two...
- Prune juice is one of the best medicines for constipation in infants. Allow 4 or 5 dried dark brown grapes in half a glass of water over night. Smash the soaked grapes and boil this till it reduces to one-third of what you had before boiling. Give 5 to 10 ml everyday till the baby passes motion frequently and without trouble.
- Early morning sun rays are good for the baby, not later..The sunlight helps in developing vitamin D which is necessary for skin growth in infants..
