Objective: Neonatal colic is one of the most common problems of newborns. This problem sometimes becomes so serious that it will cause problems for the parents and the baby. Colic is common from the ages of 1 to 4 months and is often treated with traditional, home methods, medical care, and sometimes therapeutic drugs prescribed by the doctor or modification of the mother's diet. In traditional medicine, medicinal plants are used to treat colic, so the present study is the identification and report of anti-colic medicinal plants in children.
Methodology: In this review, the keywords colic, children, traditional medicine, medicinal plants and treatment were searched from databases such as Google Scholar, SID, Megaran, Scopus. Irrelevant articles were removed and related articles were used to review the texts.
Results: Based on the obtained results, medicinal plants such as Anethum graveolens, Acorus calamus, Foeniculum vulgaris, Pimpinella ansium, Matricaria chamomilla, Mentha spicata, Zingiber officinale, Carum carvi, Anethum graveolens and Foeniculum vulgare are among the most important and practical medicinal plants are effective on children's colic.
