Colic refers to severe, often fluctuating pain in the abdomen that is caused by the intestine or other parts of the digestive tract undergoing spasms. It is commonly experienced by infants and can result in excessive crying and discomfort. Colic can be due to various factors including gastrointestinal disturbances, gas, and digestive cramps.

Biological and Cellular Processes:

Upon application, the essential oils are absorbed through the skin and enter the bloodstream. The therapeutic compounds then interact with the gastrointestinal system and central nervous system.

• Anti-inflammatory Action: Compounds such as chamazulene (Roman chamomile) and gingerol (ginger) reduce inflammation by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating the activity of inflammatory cells. This helps to soothe the inflamed gastrointestinal tissues associated with colic.
• Antispasmodic Effects: Anethole (fennel), bisabolol (Roman chamomile), and gingerol (ginger) work on smooth muscle tissues in the digestive tract to reduce spasms. These compounds influence smooth muscle contraction and relaxation, alleviating cramping and discomfort.
• Gas Relief: Anethole in fennel oil acts as a carminative, assisting with breakdown and gas expulsion. This reduces bloating and discomfort, contributing to overall digestive comfort.
• Central Nervous System Modulation: Linalool (lavender) affects the central nervous system by influencing neurotransmitter systems to induce relaxation and reduce stress, which can further aid in managing discomfort associated with colic.

Indications:

• Colic Relief: Helps alleviate abdominal cramping, gas, and bloating associated with colic.
• Digestive Support: Provides symptomatic relief from discomfort related to digestive disturbances and gastrointestinal spasms.
• Calming Effect: Assists in reducing stress and discomfort, promoting overall relaxation and digestive ease.
