Why is Homeopathy so good for children?

Homeopathic remedies are much gentler than conventional medicine and that is especially important for the very young. Secondly children respond very well to Homeopathy and like taking the pillules or drops. I am often amazed by the speed of improvement in children.

For instance I remember giving a four year old a remedy for a particularly painful condition. One minute he was screaming, the next asking for food.

Why it is important to prescribe holistically?

Parents generally bring their babies and children because they have a particular ailment, whether colic or nappy rash, teething or sleep problems, asthma or eczema, fevers or chronic colds.

Treating the child constitutionally, not just for episodes of illness, enables the child to become healthier and more resilient, physically and emotionally.

Many times I have seen a child, who has been unhappy at school because another child has been picking on him or her for ages, come back after for a follow up appointment and say that the other child is no problem any more; maybe they have even become friends.

How we find the constitutional remedy?

Through apparently unrelated things: how they relate to siblings, how they feel about school, what they like to eat, how hot or chilly they are, the child presents their whole picture. This is their constitutional remedy.

It is a special pleasure to watch children growing up happy and well and fulfilling their own unique potential.
