The Camilia family of medicines is made from highly diluted solutions of non-GMO plant-based and other pure active ingredients parents can trust.
German Chamomile
Every Camilia medicine contains Chamomilla officinalis, a homeopathic preparation of German chamomile. Historically, adults have sipped chamomile tea for its calming effects at bedtime.
In homeopathy, this plant is used to calm babies during pain-related tantrums, especially when one cheek is redder, and they are soothed by rocking. Chamomilla 9C also relieves hypersensitivity to pain, while the 15C dilution addresses fussiness and restlessness in colicky babies.
The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) confirms homeopathic dilutions of Chamomilla mother tincture and above are safe for adults and children.
Phytolacca
in Camilia Teething
Pokeweed, as the homeopathic active ingredient Phytolacca decandra 5C, relieves red, swollen gums with pain radiating to the ears.
Native to the U.S., poke thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soils but can become invasive. Its blue berries have been historically used to dye cloth and color wine and candy.
The HPUS confirms homeopathic dilutions of Phytolacca decandra 4X and above are safe for adults and children.
Chinese Rhubarb
in Camilia Teething
Chinese Rhubarb, as the homeopathic active ingredient Rheum 5C, relieves minor digestive upsets associated with baby teething.
Unlike the red rhubarb used in American pies, this variety has been used for stomach ailments since 2,700 B.C. in China.
The HPUS confirms homeopathic dilutions of Rheum mother tincture and above are safe for adults and children.
Activated Charcoal
in Camilia Tummy
Carbo vegetabilis 6C is homeopathically prepared from activated charcoal, a fine, black powder of carbonized vegetable matter, treated to enhance its adsorbent power.
Taditionally, activated charcoal has been used for gastrointestinal issues and included in skin care and oral health products. In homeopathy, Carbo vegetabilis 6C is used to address painful bloating and gas.
The HPUS confirms homeopathic dilutions of Carbo vegetabilis mother tincture and above are safe for adults and children.
Bitter Cucumber
in Camilia Tummy
Bitter cucumber, as the homeopathic dilution of Colocynthis 9C, relieves abdominal pain from baby colic. Grown in India, Japan and the Mediterranean, this fruit belongs to the same botanical family as melons. In its raw form, it can cause stomach cramps that force a person to bend over and apply pressure.
The HPUS confirms homeopathic dilutions of Colocynthis 3X and above are safe for adults and children.
Copper
in Camilia Tummy
Cuprum metallicum 6C is a homeopathic medicine prepared from copper, relieving sudden abdominal pain associated with colic.
Copper has a long history of medicinal use and plays a crucial role in many enzymes in our bodies. It is also valued as a mineral supplement.
The HPUS confirms homeopathic dilutions of Cuprum metallicum 4X and above are safe for adults and children.
What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old therapeutic method that uses diluted substances to relieve symptoms. The active ingredients in homeopathic medicines include diluted plant or animal extracts or minerals that relieve the same symptoms they cause at full strength. For example, a microdose of a coffee bean helps nervousness.
How to Read the Label?
Active Ingredients:
These are listed in Latin on labels of homeopathic medicines. This is an international packaging standard to identify the exact species.
Homeopathic Dilution Levels:
The Centesimal scale or “C” means that each dilution is 100 times more diluted than the previous one. The 5C and 9C on Camilia’s label indicates how many times the plants were diluted using this process. For instance, 5C is 100 times more diluted than 4C.
HPUS:
The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States defines the production and usage standards recognized by the federal government. Parents should look for this acronym on labels of homeopathic products. It ensures consumers that the ingredients were prepared according to the high standards of this official reference.
