How to brew a string for bathing

It is better to buy the herb at a pharmacy. It is not recommended to assemble it yourself: medicinal properties Only the tripartite series has it; other species of this genus are harmful and can cause poisoning. First of all, this:

  • The line is drooping. Distinctive feature– drooping baskets, whole serrated-toothed leaves.
  • The sequence is radial. It is characterized by wider and flatter baskets than the three-part one.

To bathe a newborn, you can use an infusion or decoction of the string. An infusion is considered more useful: it retains more nutrients. The downside is that it needs to be prepared several hours before the procedure. The decoction can be brewed an hour before bathing, but due to prolonged boiling it will be less beneficial.

There is no need to prepare a highly concentrated solution so as not to dry out the skin. It should be light brown in color and look like weak tea.

In various sources you can see different recommendations regarding how to dilute bathing water so as not to harm the newborn. It is better to go beyond the proportions of 1 tbsp. infusion/decoction in 30 liters of water.

  • Boil a liter of water, add 30 g of herbs. Place in a water bath. Boil for 15-20 minutes, let it brew for half an hour.

A series in bags

The advantage of a packaged herb over a regular collection is that there is no need to weigh the herb before cooking: each bag has a certain weight. In addition, if the decoction or infusion is final stage you need to strain through cheesecloth; this need is eliminated when using bags: you just need to squeeze out the packaging.

Using the bags you can prepare both a decoction and an infusion. Below are recipes for a bath with 30 liters of water. If it is smaller, reduce the dose. For example, for a bathtub designed for 10 liters, take 1/3 cup. When preparing the solution, use the same proportions as a basis as when using conventional raw materials (before doing this, do not forget to read the instructions in the instructions for how many grams the package contains):

  • for infusion: dilute 2 packets in 1 tbsp. boiling water, leave for 6 hours;
  • for the decoction: take 1 packet for 1 tbsp. water, boil for 15 minutes.

Bathing a newborn in a line

The bathing cycle for newborns can provoke allergies, so before starting the procedure, a tolerance test is necessary.

  • Before adding the string solution to bathing water, it must be filtered. Do not allow grass to get into the bath.
  • The prepared solution should be added to the bath right before bathing. Part of the infusion can be left to rinse the baby later.
  • The duration of the first bath should not exceed 5 minutes, otherwise the skin may dry out. Following procedure can be doubled. The third bath and all subsequent ones should last 15 minutes.
  • While bathing, you do not need to use shampoo, foam, soap or other cosmetics. This may reduce the healing effect of the herb. For the same reason, after a bath, the baby should be rinsed with water in a series.
  • A bath with a series for a newborn should be taken at night. The herb has the property of calming the nervous system, so it will provide the baby with a quick and sound sleep.
  • IN for preventive purposes bathe the baby once a week, to treat the skin – two or three times.
  • The plant leaves stubborn stains on the fabric, so after the procedure it is better to dry the baby with a soft towel that you don’t mind getting dirty.
  • If after the bath the newborn is clearly overexcited or the amount of rash has increased, you should consult a doctor: perhaps this procedure is not suitable for him.
