Baby Teething Tincture
Ingredients
1/2 oz Dried Chamomile Flowers (Calming)
1/4 oz Dried Lavender Buds (Soothing)
1 Whole Clove (Mildly cooling—do not exceed this amount)
Preparation
The Jar: Place all herbs, the clove into a clean, sanitized 16 oz glass jar.
The Infusion: Pour the vegetable glycerin over the ingredients until they are fully submerged.
The Slow Steep: Seal the jar and place it in a cool, dark place for 4 to 6 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the glycerin pull the properties from the herbs.
The Fine Strain: Because this is for a baby’s mouth, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve. We recommend Zulay Strainer. Have patience and capture all the botanical goodness.
Storage: Store in a 4 oz amber glass dropper bottles. It will remain potent for up to 2 years
How it Works
Our teething formula is tinctured in Vegetable Glycerin, which is naturally sweet and thicker than water, ensuring it stays on the gums longer to provide relief.
Chamomile & Lavender: This "dream team" calms the nervous system, reducing the irritability and restlessness that often accompany a new tooth.
Clove: A safe, minute amount of clove provides a very mild natural cooling sensation.
A Mother’s Promise:
Our Baby Teething Oil was handcrafted in small batches in Virginia. Because every child is unique, we strongly advise speaking with your pediatrician before introducing any new herbal products. This formula is intended for topical use on the gums.
Miss Martha’s Tip
Gently rub 1–2 drops onto the baby's gums with a clean fingertip or a soft cloth. Use as needed, especially before naps or bedtime
Warning: Many experts advise avoiding essential oils in infants under 6 months; for older infants, consult a pediatrician before use. Check with your physician before use!
