The Many Ways Homeopathic Remedies Help Children

Homeopathy is one of many natural therapies used with children. Its popularity is mainly due to the principles of homeopathy — low and mild dosing, symptom-based prescription, and a natural way of balancing the body. Homeopathic remedies use the body’s own healing abilities to correct any imbalance such as headaches, digestive and skin issues, or insomnia. Children respond very well to homeopathic remedies when given correctly.

Adverse Reactions to Nursing

For example, a mom reached out to me because her 2-month-old infant was having cramps and gas after nursing. After a conversation with Mom where I asked questions about timing, symptoms, and what makes the pains better or worse, I was able to prescribe a beautiful remedy, Lycopodium, for her to give to the baby to help resolve the discomfort. We followed up after a few days, and the baby and mom were doing well.

Separation Anxiety

Another example is a mom who came in with her baby who was unable to be left alone with anyone except her mom. This was a challenge as mom worked as a caregiver on the night shift. This 14-month-old would not sleep through the night if mom was working and then was very clingy the next day.

After our consultation, I prescribed Calcarea carbonica. It’s a wonderful remedy for little ones going through separation anxiety. A week later, the mom reported the baby was much calmer when she left for work, slept well, and was generally happier. What a gift homeopathy was to these two moms who now have happy children.

Stronger Teeth

In another case, a mother came to us because her son’s teeth weren’t healthy, but soft and discolored. Moreover, the dentist suggested thousands of dollars worth of interventions for this young child. We worked together along with a remedy of Silicea to restore health to his smile. The boy reported no longer feeling like his teeth were falling out. He no longer was apprehensive about eating due to fear of breaking a tooth on certain foods.

Eczema

Another mom came with her beautiful 9-month-old to see me for eczema on his cheeks and legs. It was itchy, oozy, and would never fully go away. I recommended Sulphur. Within a week, the skin was 30% better! In a month, the parents were only giving him a dose once a week and the skin continued to improve.

“Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and is beyond doubt safer, more economical, and most complete medical science.”
Mahatma Gandhi

This type of medicine is natural and safe for even the smallest little ones to take to reestablish balance. Furthermore, it may help children grow and develop as they should. If you wish to discuss specific problems, give us a call to schedule an appointment.
