A Natural Remedy For Teething
Typically between the ages of three to nine months, a human baby’s milk teeth begin to erupt through the gum causing uncomfortable teething symptoms which can include sore and swollen inflamed gums, flushed cheeks, disrupted sleep patterns and a slightly elevated temperature1.
It can take up to 3 years for all 20 milk teeth to come through. But how does the teething experience of a human baby compare to other mammals?
If we think cutting 20 teeth is tough, spare a thought for the Long Snouted Spinner Dolphin which has 252 teeth! Dolphins only have one set of teeth their whole lives which come through when they are a few weeks old. Humans have two sets of teeth and usually by six years old we have lost all our baby teeth and are readily replacing them with 32 full adult teeth.
The piranha fish on the other hand replaces its deadly 4mm teeth continually throughout its lifetime. Sharks also shed their teeth every 2 weeks but, unlike humans and piranhas, sharks teeth fall out from the front and are replaced from the back in a conveyor belt motion.
Elephants have the largest teeth in the world and they too loose their teeth from front to back. The front tooth falls out every 4 years. That’s on average over 30 years of teething! Ouch! The household puppy is much faster. Its development mimics a human baby with adult teeth pushing out milk teeth, however, at just eight months all its 42 adult teeth are through for life.
No matter how long your baby’s teething symptoms lasts help is at hand to give some much needed relief.
Nelsons Teetha is a homeopathic remedy specially designed for the soothing and calming relief of the symptoms of teething. It is ready-dosed in a convenient granule format that simply dissolves in a baby’s mouth to quickly ease the pain of teething. It contains a 6c homeopathic potency of natural Chamomilla.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine which stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes. It has been used for many years as a safe and side effect free treatment, suitable for all the family at any age.
Nelsons Teetha costs £4.80 for 24 sachets and is available from Boots, Holland and Barrett, Amazon, Garden Pharmacy, selected grocers, Lloyds pharmacies and all good independent healthfood and pharmacy stores. Always read the label.
