Children’s health

Homeopathy can help manage children’s health issues, including common ailments, behavioral problems, and conditions like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). However, it’s important to remember that these are complex conditions and must be managed under a healthcare provider’s or professional homeopath’s guidance.

Here are some homeopathic remedies often used for children’s health issues:

  1. Chamomilla: Commonly used for teething or colicky pain in infants and toddlers, especially when irritable or demanding. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-4 times daily.
  2. Pulsatilla: Used for mild-mannered children, often clingy and seeking comfort and reassurance. This remedy can be used for various health conditions like colds, coughs, or earaches. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-4 times daily.
  3. Calcarea Carbonica: Used for various physical and behavioral issues. It’s often suited for children who are chubby, slow to teethe or develop and tend to sweat easily, especially on the head. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-2 times daily.
  4. Stramonium is often used for children with night terrors or those exhibiting violent or fearful behavior. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-2 times daily, depending on the severity of symptoms.

For ADHD or ADD, here are some commonly used remedies:

  1. Hyoscyamus Niger: Often used for children who exhibit impulsivity, inappropriate behavior, and difficulty controlling their impulses. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-2 times daily.
  2. Tarentula Hispanica: Used for restless children, always in motion, and tend to extreme impulsivity. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-2 times daily.
  3. Cina: Used for children with difficulty concentrating, especially if they are also irritable and tend to grind their teeth. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-2 times daily.
  4. Baryta Carbonica: Used for children who are physically and mentally underdeveloped, shy, and have difficulty concentrating. Dose: 6C to 30C, 1-2 times daily.

It’s essential to note that ADHD and ADD are complex neurodevelopmental disorders that should be diagnosed and managed by a healthcare provider. Homeopathic remedies may support overall health and specific symptoms but should not be the primary treatment method for these disorders unless under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Always consult a healthcare provider for the best treatment options for your child.
