TEETHINGPainful Gums • Irritability • Minor Digestive Disorders

The symptoms of teething are not limited to inflamed and painful gums, but often include restlessness, excessive chewing and digestive disorders. These symptoms usually resolve

spontaneously once the tooth has pierced the gum line.

Camilia® can be used as a first-line of treatment for baby teething. The tasteless solution isabsorbed sublingually without numbing the gums or affecting the gag reflex. The active

ingredients act on the different components of the symptomatology to provide quick and safe relief.

Camilia combines in one single form active ingredients to relieve immediate pain, irritability andminor digestive disorders.

As a first-line of treatment for teethingsymptoms, Camilia has many advantages:

• Complete homeopathic formula that relieves symptoms associated with teething: gum soreness and congestion, excessive chewing, digestive troubles, irritability and agitation.

• Easy to use: just squeeze the liquid unit-dose into the baby's mouth. No risk of choking on tablets or administrating gel on inappropri-ate areas of the mouth.

• Doesn't numb the gums, doesn't affect the gag reflex, doesn't interefere with nursing.

• Non-allergenic and without side effects; can be used safely for long periods of time if necessary.

• Will not mask any important symptoms that could lead to the diagnosis of a more severe problem.

• No risk of overdose, the pre-measured doses can be adminis-tered as frequently as every 15 minutes if necessary. Like other homeopathic medicines, the action is not body-mass dependant, sublingual absorption leads to a quicker general action.

• Preservative-free, tasteless, sterile unit-doses allow hygienic individual application. Easy to administer, even if the child is restless or crying. Single dose limits cross-contami-nation between children.

• Does not interfere with concomitant medications and doesn't have contraindications.

As our knowledge in biochemistry and pharmacology progresses, more and more of these indications finally make sense.
