I prefer the tinctured extract. Couple squirts, and voila. Good for all kinds of digestive symptoms, cures babies with colic (seen that happen, like a miracle), anti-spasmodic, helps with sleep, also useful for cold/flu symptoms, as well as calming.
Huh, if my Mom only knew. She gave us whiskey - for teething, for colic, sometimes I suspect even for too much senseless crying.
