I was in Cape Town last September and had a box and they were so helpful after my hernia surgery.

Product Overview
Lennon Stuipdruppels Mixture is a traditional South African oral remedy categorized as a calmative and carminative aid. Specifically formulated for infants and young children, it is a trusted household staple used to soothe "delicate tummies." This mixture focuses on providing rapid relief from the physical distress caused by gas and intestinal spasms, helping to restore peace to both the child and the parents during difficult episodes of colic.
What the Product Is Used For
- Infant Colic: Provides comforting relief for babies experiencing persistent crying due to abdominal pain.
- Flatulence & Gripes: Helps to break up trapped gas and alleviate sharp "griping" pains in the gut.
- Digestive Discomfort: Eases mild stomach upsets and the restlessness that often accompanies them.
Key Benefits
- Gentle Efficacy: A time-honoured formula designed for safety and comfort in young children.
- Natural Botanical Blend: Harnesses the soothing properties of aromatic oils (Nutmeg, Rosemary, and Lavender) combined with Valerian tincture.
- Rapid Action: The liquid mixture is designed for swift absorption to provide quick, soothing relief.
- Discreet & Portable: The 20ml amber glass bottle is convenient for use at home or while traveling.
Active Ingredients
Each 5ml of the mixture typically contains a synergistic blend of:
- Valerian Tincture: Known for its mild sedative and antispasmodic effects to calm the system.
- Nutmeg Oil: Acts as a warming carminative to help expel gas.
- Rosemary Oil: Traditionally used to support digestive comfort.
- Lavender Oil: Provides a soothing aroma and assists in relaxing the digestive tract.
- Ethanol (Alcohol): Used as a solvent and preservative for the herbal extracts.
