Is it ok to use one strand of saffron and a little turmeric in cow' s milk for a 10 month old infant everyday to help reducing colds and coughs ? Many websites talk about the effectiveness of saffron in curing colds, coughs and asthma in children. Experienced parents or ayurvedic practioners - please reply. Harini replied. Hi Chandu,
Seriously who had found such things because it is been followed since many years. Catherine replied. Hi Shekar,
Generally saffron will be taken by mothers during pregnancy know not by child.even i heard this for first time also.I wish you would be some what cautious before using such products. Meera replied. Hi Chandra,
So saffron would be good for baby but at this age you have to think and you must be careful.Because health is most important know for all. Farha replied. Hi Chandra,
So you are thinking to start all such ayurvedic tips for baby from ten months only.But are you sure that baby would drink that and he would not cry.Think about that. Megha replied. Hi Chandra,
I think we are not getting pure saffron in these days.There will be at least some amount of mixture of chemicals in it.So it is not so required for baby at this stage.Rest your wish. Priya replied. Hi Chandra,
So can you say what you had done about that also and it would be better also for all the people who are in need also and i hope you would reply back and it will be useful for all. Madhu replied. Hi Person,
Before feeding any new substance to the baby you need to consult either to the doctor or any other elder in your home then only you can feed them because it would give you further trouble for your kid and you only. Dia replied. Hi
I agree that saffron and turmeric is helpful to reduce cold and cough. But it will be beter if you consult a doctor before giving anything to your baby. Sara replied. Hi
It is correct that saffron and trumeric helps to cure cold. But since you want to give this to your baby, I think you should consult a doctor for it first to avoid any problem and then go ahead with it. anandi replied. Most of the information is correct,but just in case it would be better if you consult and use them with the guide of your patients. Swapna replied. Hello Chadra,
