Homeopathic
treatment is
a wonderful way to give your children a healthy start for life. There
are so many damaging influences in our environment that staying healthy is often
a challenge. Not to mention the task of overcoming disease or ill- effects of
conventional treatment. In the life of a family you inevitably encounter
situations when you have to decide how to keep your children on a healthy path.
Questions come up with diet, activities, and the kind of health care you choose.
Homeopathy
can satisfy many of your health care needs:
You can learn
how to treat
minor problems on your own. Many first aid situations can be handled with
homeopathic remedies and preparations: burns, cuts, bruises, insect bites,
poison ivy, even fingers that got slammed in the door! Once you become familiar
with the remedies in a first aid kit you can also take care of your children’s
fever, cough, acute stomach upsets, colic, teething discomfort, etc.
For
chronic problems
like ear infections, headaches, sinusitis,
hyperactivity, tendency to catch colds, coughs, etc. professional homeopathic
treatment is necessary. Homeopathy is a safe and effective alternative to
conventional medical treatment or a complementary if so desired. Under
homeopathic treatment your child will experience relief of disturbing symptoms
along with a strengthening of the immune system. This means that degenerative
processes and the vicious cycle of health problems will be prevented. When we
treat a disease with homeopathic medicine we give a chance to the immune system
gain balance, to come out of illness stronger as it was before. For example when
treating a child for chronic ear infections, the attacks after taking the remedy
will be milder and very soon they will stop coming all together. Since
homeopathy is body-mind medicine, along the disappearance of ear infection other
tendencies, like constipation, skin problems, sensitivities, fears and
irritability will subside as well. This is also a great way to see that this
treatment really works: there are so many obvious improvements that you won’t
have any doubt whether or not homeopathy helped your child.

Involvement
in homeopathic treatment is easy for
children. They just need to tell about their everyday habits, food preferences,
favorite games and activities. Most of the details the parents fill in.
Homeopathic
remedies come in small sugar pellets, so do not worry that you
will have to force your child to take them!
Being
a mother of three healthy, vegetarian children I have plenty of practical
experience outside the clinical setting as well. I strongly encourage a wholesome diet with lots of fresh fruits and
vegetables, whole grains and unprocessed food as well as plenty of fresh air and
exercise to keep children’s body and spirit strong and healthy. I have found these measures go a long way and medical intervention can be
kept to minimal.
