Baby balm is often chosen by parents as a topical medication to help relieve the symptoms of colds and cough that occur in children. But before giving it, make sure the baby balm you choose has a safe content and provides maximum benefits for your child.
Compared to adults, baby's skin is thinner and more susceptible to irritation. This is why, balm for adults cannot be used on babies. Baby balm should be specially formulated for infants and children, as well as with ingredients that are safe for your child.
Ingredients that are considered safe for babies
Baby balm will generally contain natural ingredients such as chamomile and eucalyptus flower extracts which are believed to be effective in relieving the symptoms of flu and coughing, and making sleep more soundly. Use a mild-scented baby balm that makes the baby more comfortable while sleeping. Both of these natural ingredients are safe to use for baby balms because they have good benefits for your baby, namely:Chamomile Extract
When the flu and cough, your child tends to be fussy and have trouble sleeping. Now, applying baby balm containing chamomile extract can help overcome both of these problems. Chamomile has a natural relaxation effect that is able to overcome insomnia in infants and adults. Chamomile has also been proven to relieve anxiety symptoms and make a person feel calmer.
In addition, chamomile is relatively friendly for baby's skin. When applied to the skin, chamomile can even help overcome skin irritation and help the wound healing process. A number of studies have also noted the effectiveness of chamomile which is quite good for eczema treatment.
Eucalyptus radiata
Besides being processed into essential oils, eucalyptus leaves are often used as one of the basic ingredients for making baby balms. Baby balm with this content is useful as a natural cough remedy that helps with nasal congestion and cough with phlegm.
