When it comes to using kasturi pills, especially for an infant, it’s important to proceed with caution. Kasturi pills are often made from musk, a substance traditionally used to balance doshas, but whether they’re always safe for babies is a different matter. Generally, don’t use any herbal remedies on infants without professional guidance. Babies’ bodies are still developing, and their digestive systems are sensitive, so the safety and efficacy could vary considerably.
From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, digestive discomfort in babies usually stems from an imbalance in Vata and weak agni (digestive fire). Rather than kasturi pills, consider gentler, more natural approaches to balance these imbalances in infants. You might try massaging your baby’s abdomen gently with a warm sesame oil, which could help ease digestive discomfort.
Another step is checking your baby’s diet. Babies at eight months are still transitioning to solid foods, so observe if particular foods might be causing the indigestion or gas. Introduce new foods gradually, one at a time, allowing a gap of a few days between each change to notice any reactions.
Also, simh’s position exercises could help in releasing gas and calming your baby. Lay your baby on their back and lightly move their legs in a cycling motion. If you’re still concerned about the symptoms or your baby shows signs of consistent distress, consult with a pediatrician or an Ayurvedic practitioner with experience in pediatric cases.
Lastly, avoid self-prescribing or using traditional remedies without guidance as that could lead to unintended effects. Focusing on safely boosting the natural digestive process is often more suitable in such early developmental stages.
