Homeopathy for Children
This is one of my greatest passions in the field of homeopathy, working with children through homeopathy. There is so much benefit children can receive from homeopathy on such deep levels and also for all the acute issues that arise during childhood. The benefits to a child are far reaching and one usually sees results quicker in children than in adults as they have less toxicity and less history, also their regeneration abilities are higher as their cells are replicating fast as they grow.
How children can benefit from homeopathy
In a normal childhood there will be so many eventualities to use homeopathy from cuts and bruises to burns and knocks. Most children sustain basic injuries during an active childhood that can easily be resolved using acute remedies. As they grow there may be growing pains and acne issues, again these can all be addressed easily. Also during the winter season, which is uncommonly long, it is common for children to have sore throats, coughs, flus, colds, eye infections and stomach viruses. We can address all of this with remedies that are non- toxic, gentle, safe and effective. Many of the childhood illnesses once navigated successfully using remedies help build up the immune system of the child.These illnesses strengthen the immune system for the future, in a healthy child.
These issues above are all part of the common growing up ups and downs of health as a child grows and develops. However when any of these become a chronic issue, a repeated occurrence then there is need for constitutional homeopathic care.
A deeper look into the child’s medical history and also that of the direct family, is needed to assess the deeper root cause/s.
There is also a lot of information as a homeopath I can glean from speaking to the child, hearing them, seeing their behaviour, their likes and dislikes, how social they are or not, how they react to school, what foods they desire or hate and their eating habits, what are their fears, how they sleep and do they have recurring dreams or nightmare of any particular theme.
More and more there are very serious illnesses that I am seeing in practise that children are suffering –from serious asthma, to Lyme disease, Migraines, Neurological issues, auto immune illnesses and more. With thorough investigation and questioning and with the aid and insight of the parents/carers we can begin to make headway and steps forward .Layer by layer we address the health of the child and find the cause or causes. Sometimes this can take a bit of time if it is a very serious illness and this illness has been ongoing for a long time. If the vitality is very low and there is much toxicity we have to first start with relieving this from the organs of elimination .And building up the health again. However the wonderful thing is that children definitely respond quicker than their adult counterparts.
And another wonderful thing is children who are raised with homeopathy begin to thrive in all areas of life-socially, physically, mentally and more. They learn so fast that within a number of years they begin to understand the remedies themselves and what they are used for. This non- toxic medicine can be a very empowering tool for a household. I recommend that my clients purchase a kit to have at hand a host of remedies for all eventualities of basic first aid. This can be very empowering indeed. Also one has to consider that you are building the future health of the next generation. Homeopathy is a powerful medicine to bring health for the children of this generation as they become adults.
You can either choose to book a one off consultation for your child.
Alternatively you can book a chronic care package where you get 3 full consultations at a reduced price, email support during that time period, and feedback. These first three consults are key in the process of homeopathic progress in your child's health and healing.
