Babies and children thrive fantastically well under homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy can support their rapidly-developing immune systems by strengthening the body's ability to heal itself. The remedies are safe - even for new-born babies - and their mildy sweet flavour means you won't have a problem getting your child to take them!
Homeopathic treatment acts at the level of the body's inner energy and children usually respond very quickly to it. Acute problems that are common in babies and children - such as teething troubles, ear infections and tonsillitis - can be rapidly resolved with the appropriate remedies without the need for conventional medicines.
Many remedies suitable for treating minor acute conditions in babies and children are available over the counter in most chemists and health shops and from some supermarket chains.
You may need a couple of attempts to find the right remedy for your child, so I recommend keeping a remedy kit at home (available from Helios Pharmacy). The kits come with an explanatory booklet, outlining the main indications for each remedy, to help you choose the best match for your child's complaint.
If your child has recurrent bouts of infections or vomiting, suffers with asthma, eczema or hay fever, or isn't sleeping well it's better to see a professional homeopath rather than try to treat them with over-the-counter remedies. The same applies to behavioural problems such as ADHD, temper tantrums and extreme shyness, as well as teenage-related things like acne and menstrual problems.
Children who are already on long-term conventional medication, for example for asthma, also do well with homeopathy. Whilst I, or any other reputable homeopath for that matter, would never suggest your child simply stops taking their medication, with successful homeopathic treatment it is usually possible to reduce the dose or, in many cases, eventually wean them off it.
