Herbal Colic Relief
Posted by TriLight Health on Jul 14th 2026
The word 'colic' is enough to make any parent tense up. The overwhelming majority of babies will have at least one minor bout with colic during their infancy. Colic results in a lot of crying from the baby, and sometimes the parents!
The exact definition of colic varies depending on who you're talking to. The cause of colic is also not fully understood. However, the consensus is that colic is a condition characterized by prolonged crying in babies. This is frequently attributed to digestive distress and discomfort*. Herbal colic relief may help some babies find relief (and the parents get some rest!)

Billie says- "My family has used catnip and fennel for generations to stop colic for babies and soothe sick stomachs for adults too, even stops hiccups! We love it! We always put it in a little warm, sweetened water. Very soothing on the stomach whether you're a baby, toddler, or an adult! And it tastes good as well!"

FAQs
Q- What is in herbal colic relief?
A- It contains two timeless herbs for use with infants, catnip and fennel. We've used our unique three-step process with a base of kosher vegetable glycerine and reverse-osmosis water.
Catnip is a lesser-known herb for use with humans; however, it has been used for generations. It is one of the gentlest nervous-system-support herbs and a favorite digestive herb.
Fennel is often the first herb that herbalists go to for digestive support. It is gentle enough for infants and is often used to support teething and colic.
Q- How to use colic drops for babies?
A- This formula is easy to dose: for infants, 1 to 2 drops the first hour (to check for rash or reaction), 2 to 3 drops the second hour, then build up to full usage (1 drop per 1 lb. body weight). Please dilute with water or juice, or use over food. This is very sweet.*
Q- Can adults and children use colic drops?
A- YES! For older children and adults, dosing is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon every 1 to 2 hours as needed. (Approximately 1/4 tsp. per 25 lbs. body weight).
For more intensive digestive support, adults and children may want to try Tummy Plus.
Q- Why do babies get colic?
A- Unfortunately, no one is quite sure why this phenomenon occurs. Some professionals believe it is nervous system-related; some believe it is digestive-related.
Q- When should I start using colic drops for my baby?
A- Consult with your baby's healthcare provider before giving them anything new. Some babies seem to get colicky at the same time every day, so your baby's doctor may recommend giving the drops around that time. Other doctors will recommend giving them only when your baby appears to need them.
Q- Is this a gripe water alternative?
A- Gripe water is typically made from catnip, fennel, and glycerine, so this is "technically" gripe water.
