Ashton & Parsons Teething Powders are a traditional, over-the-counter herbal infant teething remedy. Each paper sachet contains 130mg of night-scented stock (Matthiola incana) powder in a lactose base. A standard box contains 20 individual paper sachets.
Administered orally to babies and young infants, it is traditionally used for the soothing relief of teething discomfort, including painful gums, irritability, restlessness, and flushed cheeks associated with cutting new teeth.
Teething occurs as primary teeth push through sensitive gum tissue, causing localized inflammation, drooling, and distress. Ashton & Parsons provides a gentle, traditional approach:
Soothes Sore Gums: The fine natural herbal powder dissolves quickly on the baby's tongue and gums, helping to calm localized irritation and discomfort.
Calms Irritability: Helps ease the general restlessness, fretfulness, and crying associated with the physical pressure of erupting teeth.
Easy-to-Administer Format: The pre-measured individual paper sachets make it simple to deliver a precise, traditional dose directly into an infant's mouth without struggling with liquids or hard gels.
🚨 Ingredient Warning: Ashton & Parsons powders contain lactose.
Do not give this product to infants with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
Age Limits: Suitable for infants aged 3 months and older. Do not give to babies under 3 months of age unless specifically advised by a pediatrician or doctor.
Check for Fever: Teething can cause mild flushing, but it does not cause a true high fever or severe diarrhea. If your infant develops a high temperature, persistent crying, ear-tugging, or loose stools, do not assume it is just teething—have them evaluated by a doctor for underlying infections (such as an ear infection or virus).
Never Exceed the Maximum Dose: Always stick strictly to the daily maximum limits specified on the packaging.
For Babies Aged 3 to 6 Months: Use half a sachet at a time. Pour half the powder onto a clean spoon or directly onto the baby's tongue.
For Babies Aged 6 Months and Older: Use one full sachet at a time.
Frequency: Give one dose in the morning and one in the evening if needed. If the baby is very restless, the dose may be repeated every 1 to 3 hours as necessary.
Maximum Daily Limit: Do not exceed 6 doses in any 24-hour period.
1.Verify your baby's age and dose size:Age Check.
Ensure baby is at least 3 months old. Measure half a sachet for babies 3–6 months; use 1 full sachet for babies 6 months+.
2.Pour powder slowly onto the tongue or gums:Administer Gently.
Wash your hands thoroughly. Hold the baby upright or comfortably in your arms, open the sachet, and pour the fine powder slowly onto the front of the baby's tongue or smooth onto their gums.
3.Allow the powder to dissolve naturally:Monitor Progress.
The powder will dissolve quickly with the baby's natural saliva. Ensure the baby remains calm and upright for a moment after taking it.
Ashton & Parsons Teething Powders are traditional herbal products and are generally very well tolerated when used as directed:
Mild localized reactions are exceptionally rare.
Allergic reactions (such as skin rash or flushing) are rare, but can occur if an infant is sensitive to any of the ingredients.
Note: If your infant experiences unexpected skin rash, swelling, persistent vomiting, or difficulty breathing, stop using the powder and seek immediate medical care.
Can I mix the powder into warm milk or water in a baby bottle?
It is standardly recommended to place the powder directly onto the infant's tongue or gums so it acts locally in the mouth. However, if your baby is exceptionally fussy, you can mix the powder with a small teaspoon of cold, previously boiled water or milk and give it immediately via a spoon. Avoid mixing it into a full bottle of milk, as the baby may not finish the whole bottle and will miss part of the dose.
How long can I use these powders for my baby?
You can use the powders during active teething episodes when your baby shows signs of discomfort. However, if symptoms persist for more than 7 days, or if your baby's condition worsens, discontinue use and consult your health visitor or pediatrician.
How should the sachets be stored safely in warm climates?
Keep the paper sachets dry and stored inside their original outer cardboard carton. Store in a cool, dry place strictly below 25°C or 30°C, away from steam, kitchen moisture, or direct window sunlight, and keep strictly out of the sight and reach of children.

Notice: This guide is for educational and general infant care support only. High fever, persistent crying, refusal to drink fluids, or severe distress in infants requires physical evaluation by a qualified pediatrician. If an infant accidentally swallows a massive quantity of sachets, displays severe lethargy, or shows signs of an immediate allergic shock (facial swelling, breathing distress), stop use completely and seek immediate emergency clinical intervention at the nearest hospital emergency department right away.
