Helping A Child Also Helps The Family

When I see a child as a patient, I know that the family will be helped also. As the child is doing better, the family will be doing better as well. In a way, by treating the child, the whole family is also being treated.

When a child in a family is having difficulties, much of the parents’ and other family members’ time and energy are focused and directed toward this child. This time and energy may be to help the child with many different aspects in their life, such as: their physical health issue; to prepare a particular diet for the child; to handle behavioral issues, responses and reactions; to monitor the child’s environment; and/or to monitor the other family members’ behaviors and responses. This focusing, which is out of love, takes away from other family members – the parents as individuals and as a couple, and the other children in the family. The child in a way is being handled almost with “kid gloves”. Everything, and everyone, is focused on this child. 

A Family Heals

As this child is doing better, there doesn’t need to be as much focus placed on him. There maybe another member of the family in which attention can now be addressed. This member may have been very quiet about their needs and been in the background since there was not enough resources, time, and energy for them. They needed to not “rock the boat”, nor “make waves”. Now, their needs can be met. This member could be another child or one or both of the parents. There is more time, energy, space, and love for each member of the family.  A family heals.

Healing With Homeopathy

Homeopathy does this so well – the healing of the child, and the healing of the family.  (The initial member of the family that is helped first could be any member, not just a child, and with their healing the family unit is also healing.)

Homeopathy can help children immensely, whether for a physical, emotional or behavioral issue. Children respond very well to homeopathy. In my homeopathic practice, I have seen children for various health issues. Some of these issues are: hyperactivity, difficulty sleeping, grouchiness, defiant responses, asthmatic symptoms, persistent coughs, bed wetting, fears, nightmares, nose bleeds, eczema, chronic stomach aches, digestive issues, warts, anxiousness, chronic earaches and infections, vaccine reactions, menstrual difficulties (teenage girls), and more. 

I enjoy working with children and families. I invite you to contact me to see how homeopathy can be of help for you and your family. I offer a complimentary 15+ minute Get Acquainted Call. You can contact me here on this blog, or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I work with people of all ages, babies through older adults, in person and virtually, in and out of the San Diego, California area.

I Enjoy Working With Families – Helping Them With Homeopathy

In my homeopathic practice, I often work with families, seeing several people in the family: the children and one or both of the parents, or a grandparent. I really enjoy working with families, and getting to know them.  Recently, a friend said to me that working with families may be my niche. I do see individuals too,

Healing – The Family

Usually it is one of the children who starts, and as they are doing better, a sibling, a parent, or another family member starts to come in for homeopathic care. By working with the different members of the family, I see the interactions, the similarities, the differences, and history of the family. Just as each of us are a whole, and the symptoms we experience make up our whole, the family is the whole, and each member of the family is part of this whole.

When a family member, who was not doing well and in some ways was the center of attention for the whole family, starts to do better in their health, other family members can now pay attention to themselves. It is as if the other family members were holding back, focusing so much on the one family member that needed so much, and now the other family members could focus on themselves, their needs, and their health.

Health Concerns Family Members Experience

These are some of the health concerns that members of a family have come to homeopathy for:

• pains in the abdomen before menses
• chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia
• difficulty with vision
• tantrums, acting out
• fears
• sleep difficulties
• earaches, congestion, fevers, coughs
• broken bones, fractures
• skin eruptions and skin feeling very sensitive
• breathing difficulties – asthma
• epilepsy
• depression and anxiety
• digestive issues
• reaction to a vaccine
• menstrual issues – menopause
• sore throats
• teething
• feeling very chilled

Usually, it is a chronic condition that brings the first family member into homeopathy. Then another family member comes in for a chronic, an acute or first aid concern. becomes part of their health care resources, along with western medicine, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, therapy and other modalities.

Families

A family is any group of people that live together, or not, that love, respect, honor, nurture, and accept each other. A family doesn’t have to be a mom and a dad and children. It can be two moms, two dads, one mom and children, one mom and dogs or cats, a grandparent and aunt and children, and also people who are not related by blood. A family is a group of people who have a closeness and love for each other.

Healing The Child, And The Whole Family With Homeopathy

I enjoy working with children and their families. Children respond very well to homeopathy. Their vital energy, vital force, chi is very strong. That is why you see that a child will often be suddenly ill, run higher fevers than adults do, and then are better, quickly. A child’s response moves fast, and sometimes seems to be extreme.

What I See In My Homeopathic Practice

In my practice, I have seen children for many different health concerns. Some of them are:

• Various skin eruptions – eczema, vitiligo                                                                            
• Behavior issues that come from feeling angry, sad, fearful
• Difficulty focusing
• Chronic ear infections and earaches
• On going cough
• Digestive issues – stomachaches
• Difficulty sleeping
• Headaches

With some of the children I have seen, I have thought that seeing the parents, or one of the parents, would be helpful for the child’s healing. The family is a whole and the members of the family make up this whole. What happens in the family, and to one of the members, can often influence and affect the family as a unit and its members, such as the child that has come for homeopathic treatment. Life happens. Some of these life happenings are:

• The interactions between family members
• The health history of the family members – present, and even going back a few generations
• The cultural background and influences
• The changes that the family has experienced, such as moving to a new country, a new state, a new school, a new job for a parent
• The changes in the family unit itself, such as a separation/divorce, a death, a birth, a marriage.
• The changes in living conditions – physically, environmentally, emotionally
• The health of the family members – ongoing illness

A Family

A family to me is a group who consider themselves close. They may live together. They may not live together. The parents could be a mom and dad, two moms, two dads, one mom, one dad, a grandparent, a sibling, a friend, another relative. The child can be biological, adopted, be born by a surrogate mother. A family can be two people, and many, many more. An animal, a dog or a cat, can also be part of the family. A family is what the people themselves consider as their family.

Healing – The Child And The Family

I often see that as a child does better, in their health, the family does better too. And the same can be said that as the family does better, the child does better.

Wanting The Best For Our Loved Ones

I was in New York City last week, visiting my father and stepmother. This trip was the inspiration for today’s blog post. I enjoyed my visit with them.

Each of us want to help our family and our friends with their health, especially if they are not feeling well. We want them to eat well; sleep well; exercise; see the doctor when necessary and/or for preventive care; do activities they enjoy; see holistic practitioners, have loving relationships; be happy and more. We want the best for them. And we don’t want to see them suffering, if we know there is a way to help them.

I too want to help my family when they are not well. And I often want to help them by using homeopathy. Sometimes, they take me up on it, and sometimes they don’t.

Our Loved Ones  

Frequently, I receive a phone call from a parent, a spouse, an aunt, a grandmother, an adult child, or a good good friend. Each of these callers have a concern about a particular family member, a friend – a loved one. The caller wants to either make an appointment immediately for their loved one, (the caller is is usually a parent) or to talk about their concerns and how homeopathy could be of help for their loved one. After this initial contact, I sometimes do hear from the loved one themselves. And sometimes, the loved one makes an appointment and comes in after we have talked on the phone.

I find that it is ultimately up to the loved one to make the choice of whether to proceed with their family’s or friend’s suggestion, in this case with homeopathic care. We can lead them to it, but it is up to the loved one whether to go forward or not to go forward.

Homeopathy To Heal

I like to encourage people to use homeopathy as a choice in their health care. People nowadays are looking for a natural and holistic healing that is non-invasive and non-toxic. Homeopathy fits that well. Homeopathy is truly a holism form of medicine. Homeopathy addresses the whole person and each person as the individual they are. We are each unique, and need to receive treatment that fits us, not a one size fits all type of treatment.

The homeopath observes, listens, and witnesses, what bothers the patient. The homeopath wants to how the patient doesn’t feel well; how the pain, the symptoms, and the discomfort are for the patient; and what their suffering is like.

From all of the information that is gathered and observed, a homeopathic remedy is given that is similar to what the person is experiencing. The main principle of homeopathy is the Law of Similars (Like Cures Like). This homeopathic remedy stimulates the person’s own healing ability. There are over 4000 homeopathic remedies. You can see why it is important to go to a trained homeopath, so that the homeopathic remedy that is similar to the person is given, and then a healing can begin.

I invite you, whether it is for yourself or for a loved one, to see how homeopathy can be of help to one’s health, especially if you are not feeling well. Either contact me on this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I would be happy to talk to you.

My Ideal Patient For Homeopathy Is Mom

The other day I was thinking of who my ideal patient is in my homeopathic practice. And it is a mom. She is usually holistically minded. She may have done some reading in holistic health, and on homeopathy. She wants for herself and her family members to experience a long lasting healing for whatever health concern they may have. She doesn’t want her family to be taking ongoing medications that don’t help or heal. And she doesn’t want them to be experiencing any  side effects. She wants a healing for her family and for herself.

The mom may need to talk to her husband or partner, educating them on the benefits of holistic health, on homeopathy. Sometimes she may feel that she needs to use allopathic medicine (western medicine) for a health concern. For me as a practitioner of homeopathy, I tell moms that if they do use, let’s say antibiotics, we can still continue doing homeopathy. I don’t want the mom to feel she needs to choose between allopathic  and homeopathic medicine in some instances.

Health Concerns

The following are some health concerns that the family may experience. Although, they are listed by mother, father and children, some of the health concerns can affect either age or sex.

Some of the health concerns a mom may have for herself: menstrual issues, menopause, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive issues, headaches and migraines, fibromyalgia,  skin eruptions, chronic fatigue.

For her children: behavioral issues, eczema, asthma, other skin eruptions, on going coughs, stomach aches, chronic ear infections and colds, nightmares, fears, difficulty sleeping, childhood diseases.

And for her husband: men’s issues, lack of confidence, headaches, insomnia, performance issues in different areas, skin eruptions, arthritis, injuries, flus.

Moms

I have seen all sorts of moms. A new mom who wants to know how to help her young baby develop immunity.  A grandmother who has brought in her grand children for behavioral issues. A mom who is concerned about her teenaged son who has skin eruptions. A mom whose 7 year old son has an ongoing cough, or has a teenage daughter who has difficult periods. And a mom calling about her mother. Most of the time, the mom is the gateway to the family’s health. All sorts of moms, from a new mom to a grandmother, and all the moms in between.  A mom brings herself, she brings her children, she brings her grandchildren, she brings her husband/partner, and other family members.

Please know that dads can be the mom too.

So moms out there, and dads, educate yourself on homeopathy, and see how it can be of help for you and for your family’s health care.

If I can be of any help for you and/or your family, please contact me here by leaving a comment or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com  I offer a 15+ minute complimentary Get Acquainted Phone Call.

Treating The Child With Homeopathy Is Treating The Family

I have a soft spot for children. I feel that homeopathy can help children immensely, whether for physical ailments or behavioral issues.  And when I see a child as a patient, I know that the family will be helped as well. The child is doing better, then the family is doing better. In a way, by treating the child, the whole family is also being treated.

Often, there is a child in the family that is having difficulties. So much of the parent’s and other family member’s time and energy are directed to this child. It could be to help the child with their physical complaint; to prepare a particular diet; to handle behavioral issues and responses; to monitor their environment; and/or to monitor the other family members behaviors and responses. This all takes away from the other children in the family, from the child involved because they are being handled almost with “kid gloves”, and from the parents themselves, as individuals, and as a couple. Everything, and everyone is focused on this child.

A Family Heals

With a healing, the child is doing better, and there doesn’t need to be so much focus on them.  There maybe another member of the  family, in which attention can now be placed. This member may have been very quiet about their needs, been in the background because there was not enough resources, time, or energy  for them. They needed to not “rock the boat”, not “make waves”. Now, their needs can be met.  This member could be another child or one or both of the parents.  There is more – time, energy, space, love – for each member of the family.  A family heals.

Healing With Homeopathy

Homeopathy does this so well – the healing of the child, and the healing of the family.  (The initial member of the family that is helped first could be any member, not just a child, and with their healing the family unit is also healing.)

In my homeopathic practice, I have seen children for various health concerns. Some of these concerns are: hyperactivity, difficulty sleeping, grouchiness, defiant responses, asthmatic symptoms, persistent coughs, bed wetting, fears, nightmares, nose bleeds, eczema, chronic stomach aches, and menstrual difficulties (teenage girls). With the child’s healing, the parents, and the whole family are doing better.
