As a Homeopath, I encourage parents and caregivers to consider using homeopathy to compliment any other traditional medicines or therapies they may be using for their child. Homeopathy promotes the body’s natural healing response to stimulate self-regulation and restore balance where it’s needed the most.

A basic understanding of homeopathy and how to use remedies can be a wonderful way to support your family’s health naturally. It provides gentle, non-toxic remedies that can help with everyday ailments like colds, coughs, digestive issues, fevers, minor injuries (the list goes on)—without the risk of side effects. Homeopathy also addresses emotional well-being, making it a great tool for managing, for example, childhood anxiety, stress and sleep troubles. Having a basic homeopathic kit allows you to respond quickly and effectively to your child’s needs, promoting improvement quickly.

Homeopathic remedies are safe, non toxic, and can be used without complex instructions.

Note: while home prescribing is a great way to get started, and a fabulous way to support your child, it’s important to seek professional advice for more on-going or chronic health issues.

Get Started: You will need to purchase a basic Homeopathy Kit, containing some of the most widely used remedies. The one I recommend is the Basic 18 or 36 Kit from Helios Pharmacy, UK. If you reside in the USA, Homeopathy 247 has some great value for money homeopathy kits to choose from. (Please reach out for help locating homeopathic pharmacies where you live).

Be Supported: Find yourself a great beginners book, or sign up FREE for The Home Prescribers Course presented by the renown homeopath, Hilary Dorrian. It really is the perfect guide to start your journey, and will give you the knowledge and confidence to start treating yourself and/or your children safely and effectively.
