Ear-ache, Sore Throat, Sinus infection, Diarrhea, Colic, Nausea and Vomiting, Fever, Croup – how can I help my child?
Who hasn’t experienced it – the drama of an acute illness only seems to happen at night or on weekends.
Homeopathy is the perfect tool to help your child. The Homeopathic remedy allows the child’s own healing system to work more efficiently to return them to a state of health.
If you are new to Homeopathy, let’s meet for a Initial Discovery Consult to learn about how homeopathy supports healing by strengthening the immune system for healthier kids. I look forward to meeting you.
Children respond very well to Homeopathy. It is amazing to witness a distressed, crying child relax into soothing sleep within minutes of a well selected homeopathic remedy. Homeopathy does not medicate and numb symptoms or work to kill any bacteria or virus. Instead the homeopathic remedy assists your little one’s body to speed healing by supporting the self healing system to do the work it is created to do.
For example, what we see with ear infections (or sore throats or sinus infections) is the common cycle of anti-biotics, which most likely leads to another infection and more anti-biotics. And if the cycle continues, it leads eventually to a destroyed intestinal flora. Then digestive issues, assimilation problems, emotional and behavioral problems, and learning difficulties.
Homeopathy can help to avoid this cycle and help you raise healthy children.
Most parents can learn how to care for their own children. Of course I am available for acute consults. Either way you will want to have a Homeopathic Remedy Kit and Self-care book on hand. Let’s meet before the next ‘problem’ happens.
A Remedy Kit Tutorial is available: 60min tutorial to learn about which remedies cover what types of symptoms, how much to give and when.
Case examples, not their real names, however actual cases:
Joey a 1year old boy with a sinus infection:
Joey had seen his grandmother and she came down with a cold a day after her visit. A few days later Joey was fussy and developed a 102 fever. His parents took him to see their pediatrician, always the best first step, who suspected a sinus infection and wrote a prescription for anti-biotics. Then Joey’s parents called me.
Joey’s symptoms:
- sudden high fever
- nasal discharge mostly white, slightly yellow and very stringy and thick
- not quite as active as usual
The Homeopathic remedy Kali-bichromium is often helpful in cases where there is stringy, thick nasal discharge, when the child is a bit more quiet than usual, but not appearing terribly sick, yet the fever can be quite high. The homeopathic remedy was given in the 30C potency 3x the first day. The fever came down and the child slept well.
The next day the child was still fever free, the nasal discharge had cleared. Joey was whiny, crying often and clingy and perked up when going outside. This is the classic picture of the remedy Pulsatilla. 2 doses of it in the 30C potency and Joey was his normal self the next day. And is doing well. He was not given anti-biotics.
Children that receive homeopathy, instead of anti-biotics, for their sinus infections or ear infections often do not have another. Homeopathy is not killing germs, instead Homeopathy works to remove the susceptibility and strengthen the child’s resilience to overcome and resist disease. Homeopathy helps with normal development and maturation towards adulthood.
Baby Susan:
Baby Susan 4mon old with ongoing colic leading to inconsolable crying for hours. I met Baby Susan at a picnic, her typical screaming time was all day! Mom was exhausted. I noticed that Susan was drawing her tiny legs up towards her belly. This is the the symptom picture of the remedy Colocynthus. With Mom’s permission I gave 1 dose of 2 pellets in the 30C potency between the cheek and gums and literally within 2 minutes Susan relaxed and fell asleep. Mom reported that she gave the remedy during these colic spells for 3 more days and that was the end of her colic.
Some Kids have chronic recurrent conditions
Homeopathy helps in the acute phase of the illness to speed healing. For some children there are chronic recurrent health concerns. In vaccinated children we often see recurring infections, allergies, and emotional, behavioral and learning challenges. For these children I recommend CEASE Therapy to help re-balance the immune system.
A Case Example: Tommy, a 7year old boy
Tommy, a 7year old boy with recurrent coughs, colds and asthma, he is partially vaccinated – his symptoms:
Every year since he was 1year old from October to March he had a cough and cold leading to Asthma as often as 2times per month. He also has many fears, of the dark, the unknown and more, he loves ice cold drinks, is very intelligent, and highly sensitive to others and his surroundings.
This is a classic picture of the homeopathic remedy Phosphorus. Because Tommy had been struggling for almost his entire life he was given a liquid form of the remedy called an LM potency. He was seen in November and had already been sick 2x that year. After taking his remedy daily, he did not get sick again that winter. The following winter even when the rest of the family caught the flu he remained well and is so still. He takes his remedy only when he is feeling stressed. He has learned to pay attention to how he feels and can monitor himself well.
For children just like adults there are chronic concerns and acute conditions.
