Homeopathy is a system of medicine which aims to treat each
particular individual be it a child or an adult. It represents
real medical ecology based on natural scientific truths. It
is non toxic and when properly administered with holistic approach
does no harm to the body. It is also non invasive and works
to help the body’s healing powers.
Children are most sensitive and purest gift of mankind. They
require rapid, gentle and permanent cure for their small and
big ailments.
Homeopathy uses medicines prepared from natural substances
that are ‘similar to the illness’ unlike conventional medicines
which treats and often suppresses the patient’s symptoms.
Prescribed on its basic fundamental laws, Homeopathy is
much safer and
quicker than other modes of treatment.
The most common pediatric ailments which keep the parents
sleepless / awake at nights, worrying about their children
are:-
• Recurrent infections (Tonsillitis, Adenoids, Diarrhea
etc)
• Delayed milestones
• Dentition problems
• Behavioral disorders
• Bed-wetting
• Stammering
• Skin diseases
• Worm infestations
Recurrent infections:
Includes fevers, Tonsillitis, Adenoiditis, Diarrhea, worms, respiratory allergies
etc. All of these are due to low immune status of the child. Weak resistance
of the child makes him prone to infections. Homeopathy can do wonders by
enhancing the immunity level and make him more resistant to morbific agents.
Delayed Milestones and Growth retardation:
Includes late learning to walk, talk, general retardation of growth, learning
disabilities etc. Barring genetic causes, there are various environmental
factors like nutrition, recurrent infections, insecure family circumstances,
lack of proper love etc can hamper the normal growth of a child.
Behavioral disorders:
Parental disharmony, lack of proper love and care, domination, over protection;
neonatal insults may lead to hyper anxiety states; maladjustment at school,
with parents and siblings; temper tantrums; attention deficit disorders;
sleep and appetite disturbances, stammering and bedwetting in children.
By taking into account of the patient as a whole and not
just the illness, Homeopathy simultaneously confronts the symptoms,
the patient’s constitution and even his psychological and emotional
reactions.
A carefully selected medicine based on this holistic approach cures all the
above mentioned diseases of children and many more.
So crux is, if you were to compare a patient with a locked
safe and medicine as a key, then a Homeopathic consultation
is like finding the right key and
opening the door.
