Instructions for use of Dill water (Method and dosage)

There are several ways to prepare this medicine at home. Let's give two main ones.

Before preparing the medicine, you need to buy fennel seeds (pharmacy dill). It is better to use well-filtered or bottled drinking water.

First recipe: grind 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds and pour 1 liter of cold water, bring the mixture to a boil in a water bath and cook for 15-20 minutes, then strain through several layers of gauze.

The second recipe: grind 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds and pour 1 liter of boiling water over them, leave covered for 60 minutes, and then strain.

If you do not chop pharmaceutical dill, the infusion time increases by 15-20 minutes.

Instructions for use of Dill water for babies indicate that it should be given 3-6 times a day, 1 teaspoon. Just as with the popular Happy Baby product, this should be done before feeding. You can give the medicine from a spoon, from a bottle, or using a syringe without a needle.

The effect of the product becomes noticeable approximately 15-20 minutes after application. To exclude the occurrence of allergic reactions, it is better to start taking the drug with small doses, gradually increasing them.

How to use dill water

Dill water is primarily a medicine for newborns and infants. Therefore, it is not just important, but very important to observe the dosage in its use.

Dill water is positively perceived by children - it has a neutral taste and does not cause disgust. Dill water is given to a small child from a papilla, and if you do not plan to accustom your child to a bottle, then from a teaspoon. The latter is relevant if the child is breastfed without artificial formula feeding.

Recommended dosage of dill water purchased at a pharmacy for newborns:

• 1 teaspoon 3 times a day 10 minutes before feeding;
• 1 teaspoon of product mixed into formula or expressed milk, 3 times a day.

Recommended dosage of dill water prepared at home for newborns:

• 1 tablespoon 3 times a day 10 minutes before feeding;
• 1 tablespoon mixed into formula or milk, 3 times a day.

If the child does not have an allergic reaction to the medicine, then the frequency of its use can be gradually increased to 6 times a day. In case of allergies, as well as in case of exceeding the dose, the newborn’s intestines will react with stool upset, diarrhea, and very rarely, flatulence. However, these are rare exceptions; usually dill water has a beneficial effect on the baby’s digestive system.

The above dosage is not suitable when using garden (fragrant) dill seeds. And the dosage of dill water in instant teas is usually indicated in the instructions for use or on the packaging.

The smartest decision would be to discuss the dosage and formulation of the drug with your pediatrician.

Recommended dosage of dill water prepared at home for adults:

• ¼ cup 3 times a day after meals

Dill water for newborns

Dill water is often needed for infants, but it is quite difficult to find it in pharmacies. It is prepared only where there are prescription departments. In a big city, getting it is not a problem, but in small towns it can be difficult. In this case, you need to know how to prepare Dill water for a newborn yourself and how to give it correctly.

You can buy fennel seeds at a regular pharmacy. In addition, you can grow it in your garden and dry the “umbrellas” of the plant. After they dry, all that remains is to separate the husks, and you can start cooking.

Any recipe for Dill water for newborns is suitable. For adults, the medicine is prepared in the same way as for infants. You can, for example, take 1 teaspoon of seeds from the package, pour a glass of boiling water and close the lid tightly. The mixture should simmer for 1 minute, and then leave it for 30-40 minutes. When you strain the liquid, you will get natural dill water for newborns. It is advisable to do it every day so that the broth is fresh.

The instructions for the drug indicate how and how much to give to the newborn. The same dosage scheme is provided for the product prepared at home.

There are different reviews about Dill water for newborns. Mostly, mothers talk about the positive effect on their babies. Only in rare cases is it reported that the remedy did not help.

What is dill water?

From the name you might think that dill water is made from dill. But this is not always the case.

The first recipe for dill water was sold in British pharmacies. At that time it included:

• water,
• sugar,
• soda,
• dill oil,
• 3.6% alcohol.

Over time, the recipe was registered under a trademark and began to be distributed in pharmaceutical markets. Today, to prepare it, 1 part of fennel essential oil is dissolved in 1000 parts of boiled water. This is the so-called “dill oil”, but it is prepared by distilling crushed sweet fennel fruits. The sales period for the finished product should not exceed 30 days.

The resulting 0.1% solution of fennel oil has a carminative effect on the body, and is most popularly used in newborns to eliminate intestinal colic.

Fennel essential oil consists of:

• oleic, linoleic, palmitonic acids,
• anethole,
• methylchavicol,
• α-pinene, α-phellandrene,
• terpinolene,
• citral,
• bornyl acetate,
• camphor,
• fenchona,
• cineola,
• limonene.

dill water from both dill seeds and dill itself (dill tea). But this won't be a traditional recipe. It is less standardized, has a different ratio of active ingredients and is used less frequently. The carminative effect of dill is less pronounced, but is still noticeable. If you are unable to get ready-made dill water, essential oil or fennel seeds to prepare the medicine, turn to dill for help:

• homemade dill water - 1 tsp. pour dill seeds with a glass of boiling water (use specially purified distilled water) and leave for an hour; After the allotted time, strain the dill seeds and give the cooled dill water to the baby in accordance with his age needs;
• dill tea - 1 tbsp. l. Brew ½ cup of boiling water of finely chopped greens, leave for an hour, then strain and use in small portions throughout the day.

Negative reviews of Dill Water for Newborns say that the medicine was ineffective or was difficult to give to the baby. Reports of allergic reactions are extremely rare.
