When it comes to your baby’s safety, you want it taken care of above all else. That is true when it comes to medicine as well. Because so many parents in Canada are using homeopathic remedies to help their child heal naturally rather than using a more chemical-based approach here is what you need to know about homeopathy.
What Is Homeopathy for Babies?
Homeopathy is an ancient (200+) method of healing that is based upon the concept of “similar to cure similar”. Homeopathic medications consist of very diluted (homeopathically prepared) natural substances derived from plants and minerals which are intended to help the body heal itself. There are homeopathic remedies made for use by infants and are created as very small dissolvable pellets (or liquid drops) therefore are completely safe and gentle enough for a newborn baby.
Homeopathy does not suppress symptoms — it works with the body to correct the root cause of illness.
Is It Safe? What You Need to Know
Yes, Homeopathy is safe for use in infants and toddlers when given by a properly trained, qualified homeopath. The reason for this is that homeopathic remedies have the following properties:
- Non-toxic ingredients, no harmful chemical residue, therefore, cannot cause harm to Developing Organ Systems
- Can safely interact with conventional pharmaceutical medications by complementing their action
- No side effects — no drowsiness or dependence on the remedy and no reactions of an adverse nature.
- Care is tailored to your child’s specific health care needs by using an Individualized approach to care that respects your child’s medical history
- In Ontario, homeopathy practitioners must be a member of the College of Homeopaths of Ontario (CHO).
Common Conditions Homeopathy Supports in Babies
Some of the most common conditions for which parents will seek out homeopathic support include:
- Colic and digestive discomfort — bloating, gas, inconsolable crying
- Teething pain — gum irritation, irritability, difficulty falling asleep
- Colds that recur or ear infections that are recurrent — developing immune systems that can withstand future illness
- Eczema and skin rashes — finding solutions at the root rather than treating symptoms on the surface.
- Difficulty sleeping — calming the nervous system in a non-invasive way.
- Asthma and respiratory conditions — documented support through clinical studies conducted at our facility.
How to Use Homeopathy Safely for Your Baby
● A qualified homeopath should always be consulted and not make your own decisions (through an internet search) about what to take.
● Your paediatrician should also know that homeopathy works best when it is combined with standard medical care.
● It is very important to follow the directions for dosages. In homeopathy, more is not better.
● Be patient – it may take time for you to heal, as you will be concentrating on your original causes.
For any serious or emergency health condition, always seek immediate medical attention first.
