coffea cruda
I was wondering if anyone had any information about coffea cruda. I am giving my infant daughter hylands teething tablets for teething, they say that they are homeopathic. They contain coffea cruda. I was tying to find some information on it. I am concerned that I am giving my daughter caffeine. Is coffea cruda a form of coffee? and does it contain caffeine? Is it safe to give infants?Thanks Kelly

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
My search indicates it is "non-roasted coffee". Hylands website provides the following information about the contents of the tablets:
Calcarea Phosphorica 12X
Chamomilla 6X
Coffea Cruda 6X
Belladonna 6X
"X" is the number of times the substance has been diluted at a ratio of 1:10. At a 6X dilution there may still be some material substance present but only a very negligible amount.
At that point whether it is "safe" has nothing to do with material toxicity as whether the remedy is appropriate to the individual and situation. 6X and 12X are relatively weak as homeopathic medicines go. (I believe 6X works out to be 1 part per million. 12X would be far more dilute than that.)
So, is it helping? Do you see any adverse reaction that could be considered an aggravation?
