Homeopathy for Babies and Children
Homeopathy can be a wonderful ally for children by providing alternatives to prescription drugs.
The mildly sweet pills, powders or liquids are easy to dispense and are more palatable than most conventional medicines. The highly diluted natural substances that form homeopathic remedies mean that they are safe to use in the very young, including newborn babies. More than that, homeopathy can raise the immunity of your children to help deal with illness throughout their childhood.
Homeopathy not only helps when your child is ill. It can also help prevent illness and give support through difficult periods of their life.
Some examples of conditions that homeopathy can treat very effectively are
- Eczema and Skin Rashes
- Teething
- Colic
- Ear problems
- Fever
- Coughs and colds
- Constipation/ diarrhea
- Bedwetting
- Behavioral problems
- Allergies
- Teething
- Tonsillitis
- Stomach Upset & Motion Sickness
Children are quick to respond to homeopathic treatment in regard to acute complaints, however a homeopath may suggest a follow up appointment to treat a child constitutionally for their improved well-being.
If your child has a chronic complaint, we will usually recommend a follow-up visit after three to four weeks. As improvement is noticed appointments will be less frequent, and when well, a six monthly check up is recommended.
Longer standing complaints may require repeated doses of a remedy in different potencies.
