I understand you’re looking for information on herbal remedies for colic, but I need to clarify that the available search results do not contain specific herbal treatments. However, I can provide some general information about colic and a related term.

Colic refers to pain originating from the contraction of the muscular walls of a hollow organ, such as the intestines. In infants, intestinal colic is common, especially in those who are bottle-fed, and is characterized by restlessness, continuous crying, and drawing up of the legs. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and addressing the underlying cause.

What is Colic Root?

Colicroot refers to plants with roots used in folk medicine to treat colic, especially Aletris farinosa and A. aurea, which are bitter herbs from the lily family.

What Causes Colic?

Colic can result from various conditions, including enteritis, intestinal tumors, certain forms of influenza, and spastic contractions of the bowel (as seen in lead poisoning).

How is Colic Treated?

Treatment for colic depends on the cause and is aimed at relief of symptoms. It often includes the administration of a muscle relaxant such as atropine and, occasionally, meperidine hydrochloride.

Given that the search results do not offer specific herbal remedies for colic, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for appropriate medical advice and treatment options.
