Whether you are looking to simply add one regime, or completely choose homeopathy as a primary form of medicine, the opportunities with using these remedies are endless. Homeopathy can be used for all ages, but we've seen a huge rise in its use and benefit with children.
Each year more children are being diagnosed with allergies, ADD/ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, etc. Many mothers are not finding help with conventional medicine, and turn to homeopathy as a form of treatment to help their children.
Even if you have the "healthiest" child, exposures to food pesticides, poor indoor air quality, and water pollutions are inevitable at times and these toxins can considerably impact developing brains. Using homeopathy to maintain health in children BEFORE a chronic disease occurs is truly a great form of practice in maintaining health.
Homeopathic remedies may help with childhood conditions like eczema, asthma and allergies. For instance, instead of using a steroid or antibiotics, which can disrupt the bowel flora and the long-term immunity for developing immune system, there are various forms of remedies that range from oral pellets to topical creams.
Many parents have babies, toddlers, and young children who struggle with ear infections. A classic trained pediatrician will likely suggest to treat an ear infection with antibiotics, which may help to treat the infection (and some may argue this), but in return, completely disrupts the gut flora – potentially causing further health issues down the line. Even if a parent is going to treat with antibiotics, supporting the gut and body with certain homeopathic remedies may lessen the reaction.
If a parent is not going to treat an ear infection with antibiotics, using a well-chosen homeopathic remedy may not only encourage the ear to heal without any interruption of gut flora, but it will also help enhance the body’s ability to fight similar infections in the future (i.e. those parents dealing with reoccuring infections - no fun).
