Homeopathy and Children:     

Homeopathy is wonderful for children and babies. It is safe, gentle yet very effective and is a good alternative to conventional medicine. Homeopathy can treat acute illnesses like coughs, colds, fevers, ear ache, chicken pox and tonsillitis. It works quickly and effectively without any side effects. Homeopathy works with the immune system to help the body heal itself.

Homeopathy can really help with chronic illnesses such as eczema, asthma, and chronic colds and ear infections. It is very good with problems, which persist over a long period of time and where conventional medicine can only treat the symptoms not the cause.  Children respond quickly to homeopathic treatment, because they are more vibrant and sensitive to remedies and they are far less complicated than adults are.

Even if your child has no particular problem, it can be useful to see a homeopath to find out your child’s ‘constitutional type’. Constitution means the physical makeup and emotional temperament, which is the whole person. What you are born with and how you deal with life’s experiences.

Once you know your child’s constitutional type, you will then know what remedies s/he will respond to when unwell. It makes it easier to treat your child with confidence.
