How Homeopathy Can Help You
Kids Acute and Chronic Health Issues
Homeopathy is a very safe and gentle medicine that can help pregnant women and newborn babies navigate any health issues that arise. Acutely issues such as colic, sleep issues, constantly crying, rashes, fevers etc can all be helped with homeopathy in the comfort of your own home. There are kits available so you can read up on the best remedy and bring that fever down naturally and gently and watch your little one gently come back into a state of health.
Skin issues such as eczema as I experienced as a child, is very common and can be helped with homeopathy. There can be many causes for this and we can usually work out what it is if you don’t know what caused it already. I often use detoxing on these children when it makes sense to do so and this can help shift what it is that is blocking the way to these children being eczema free. I also have developed a cream that has helped many children with eczema find relief. You can find that here.
Recurrent ear, nose, throat and chest issues can be helped with deeper acting homeopathy remedies so their immune system learns a new way of reacting to what ever it is that creates these chronic issues. There are also remedies that can prevent these issues so reach out if you would like to know more.
ADHD, ADD, Learning Difficulties, PANS, PANDAS and more….
In 2012 I studied homeopathy for 2 years in India where my learning exploded. Part of my time there I sat with Dr Praful Barvalia who is known for his expertise in treating children with various issues including ADHD, ASD, Learning difficulties, PANS, PANDAS, birth trauma and so much more. In this clinic, I was studying alogside a Psychologist who helped me understand the assessment process with children and how she identified particular behaviours or issues. There was also a geneticist, orthopedic surgeon and many other professionals working together to help these children. This helped me understand on a deeper level how to work with the range of serious children’s issues that appear to have exploded in recent times. Homeopathy can gently help these children come back in to the world and flourish as much as they are able to. I have seen so many children improve relatively quickly with this form of medicine which is really beautiful to watch.
Anxiety in Little Ones
Even babies can experience anxiety and this can carry throughout childhood and beyond. Babies may be really sensitive to noise, not sleeping, have colic and crying a lot. This can continue as they grow and can affect their ability to socialise, learn, develop and to just enjoy life like we should do.
In practice I see a wide variety of anxiety issues in children. Sometimes there is a definite trigger, such as a death in the family, parental separation, bullying or trauma or certain chemicals. Many times there is no apparent cause. Often this occurs in children who are very sensitive and usually have a history of poor sleeping from birth. What I love about the approach in Homeopathy, is exploring how the individual copes in the world, physically, mentally and psychologically, rather than always finding a reason or ‘blaming’ the behavior on a person or a situation. How the child responds to their environment leads the way to the remedy. Each child presenting with anxiety may require different remedies as there will be different ways of coping. Some may respond with aggression or shyness, but the underlying issue I believe is still anxiety.
I’m very happy to have Homeopathy to be able to offer to help these children and their families who are greatly impacted by this. Children usually respond quite quickly to Homeopathic remedies and love them as they taste great and are very easy to take.
