TREATING CHILDREN HOMEOPATHICALLY

Homeopathy has much to offer today's children. It is effective at all stages of development, from infancy to adulthood. Today we are witnessing an increase in childhood disease and in diseases which were once considered rare in children. Examples of this are:

  • Anaphylactic allergies
  • Autism
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Diabetes

Homeopathy is a very effective non-pharmaceutical way of treating these ailments.

Childhood problems that respond particularly well to homeopathic treatment include:

  • ADD/ADHD
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Ear, nose, throat and lungs
  • Behavioural problems
  • Teething problems
  • Night terrors
  • Learning difficulties
  • Asthma, allergies and hay fever
  • Early childhood diseases i.e. mumps, measles
  • Eczema, skin eruptions, and acne
  • Colds and flues
  • Recurrent infections

CAN HOMEOPATHY TREAT AUTISM?

Autism is a very serious condition and is not easy to cure. For example, while ADD (ADHD) has a 70% cure rate in many homeopathic practices, autism rates are less optimistic. A majority of autistic children being treated homeopathically are experiencing significant progress. If treatment begins early – especially before age 5 – chances for success are greater!

CAN HOMEOPATHY TREAT ADD/ADHD?

The majority of children presenting with ADD/ADHD respond positively to homeopathy. The homeopathic approach is drugless and wholistic. Children often fully recover from this condition. Ritalin is one of the most over-prescribed drugs for children. It also has many reported side effects. Homeopathy is natural and perfectly safe without deleterious effects.

SHOULD WE VACCINATE OUR CHILD?

Today society acknowledges that there is much anecdotal and scientific evidence to support the arguments for and against vaccination. My goal is to support parents in making rational, informed decisions about vaccination. Homeopathic treatment can improve natural immunity. It can also reduce the chance of serious side effects if you choose to vaccinate.

Keep Moving

Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move and use your body. Climb and walk instead of riding; play with the kids, take up a dance class – anything that makes you move! Movement helps to strengthen and stretch your muscles and lubricates the joints. Daily exercise assists the processes of elimination, reduces stress and gets the blood circulating.

It's a Myth

There are no side effects of homeopathic medicine.

Even though homeopathic remedies are the safest and most gentle medicines in the world, it is important to realize that misuse can lead to toxicity. Even with some remedies when using them in small material doses. They can also cause aggravation of a patients' symptoms if given in too high a potency or too frequently. If abused long enough a remedy can cause the symptoms it is known to treat; especially in sensitive people.
