Children love homeopathy because it is simple and easy to take, it makes them feel better and it tastes good!

Homeopathy is wonderful for children.  As parents we worry about the amount of chemicals our children are subjected to, not just with medicines but with foods and environmental toxins as well.  With homeopathy there is no need to worry because all our remedies are completely child-friendly, non-toxic and in no way habit forming. 

Parents bring their children to me with a whole range of health and behavioural issues.  Some of the children I have treated have been diagnosed either by their GP or other healthcare professional with problems such as:

 

Skin eruptions such as eczema	Asthma, hay fever and allergies
Digestive issues such as chronic diarrhoea,  constipation or colic	Recurrent headaches
Confidence issues and anxieties	Restlessness and hyperactivity
Fears and phobia	Temper tantrums and anger issues
Suspected vaccination reactions	Recurrent infections, such as tonsillitis, ear infections, coughs and colds

In some cases, children are not diagnosed with a medical condition though their parents feel that there is something not quite right.  You do not need to have a firm diagnosis to come to homeopathy as the focus of the treatment is on symptoms as they are experienced and observed. If relevant, food intolerances can be explored as part of the treatment.

In young children, behavioural issues can develop as a result of physical symptoms, sleep deprivation or an inability to express fears, anxieties and concerns.  Because homeopathic remedies have been thoroughly tested in homeopathic provings, and their sphere of action for emotional as well as physical symptoms recorded, we have within our means the capacity to help children through difficult times and increase their sense of well-being. In some cases, where a child's behaviour had been regarded as disruptive, parents have told me that bringing the child for treatment has been beneficial to the whole family, not just the child concerned.
