What Is Bothering You?

When I sit down with a patient at the initial consultation, the first thing I ask them is “What is bothering you?”, “Why are you here?” The patient starts to talk. Sometimes it is a list and sometimes it is just one thing. I will ask, “Tell me more about this.” 

If the patient is a child, I often speak to the parent first. When I talking with the child, I will ask them what is bothering them. Sometimes, what is bothering the child, is not what the parent has said.  

What Is Bothering The Person

Here are a few of what patients have said to me that is bothering them:

• My nose is running all the time. I have to wipe it. It is annoying.
• It feels as if the food is rotting in my stomach.
• I am so anxious.
• I feel so angry at times.
• I have difficulty breathing.
• My younger sister is the boss of me. (Why he came to homeopathy was because of a cough. The cough is what bothered the mother.)
• My neck hurts all the time.
• I feel as though there is dripping in my ear.
• The skin eruption on my face doesn’t go away.
• There are warts on my hands. 
• There are bumps on my skin.
• I am not functioning like I did before the accident.
• I am feeling so weak after having the flu.
• I am having these persistent thoughts that scare me.
• It upsets me so much how other people treat animals and older people.
• Loud sounds are uncomfortable to me. (A child runs to his mother when hearing loud sounds.)
• I have no energy.
• I have these pains in my hands.
• My sex drive has lessened.
• My stomach hurts after I eat. 
• My right side hurts. 
• It hurts when I pee. 
• I am constipated all the time. 
• I have difficulty focusing.
• I have this ongoing cough. 
• I haven’t had my menses. 
• I am having a heavy menstrual flow with clots. 
• I haven’t felt well since ….

You can see how varied the “botherings” are. There often is not a name, nor label to them. It can be a sensation, a feeling, a fear, a physical symptom, a thought, a response, and a reaction. It is something that the person does not like experiencing. It is bothering them. 

I find it very interesting that what can bother one person, such as a skin eruption, may not be bothering another person who also has skin eruptions. This shows me over and over again how individual we all are. My job always, is to see, observe, witness about this person in front of me. How they experience what bothers them. How it affects their life. I am learning about the person’s world, where they live. 

Homeopathy To Heal

We are all different. Two people may a similar physical symptom, yet need a homeopathic remedy that fits them. Over these last few years, I saw about 5 children who had warts. A different homeopathic remedy was needed for each of them. Yes, they all had warts, yet the warts were different and experienced differently.

One of the main principles of homeopathy is LIKE CURES LIKE, or the LAW OF SIMILARS. My job as a homeopath is to find out what bothers the patient, finding out what it is LIKE for them, and then giving them the LIKE (similar) in the form of the homeopathic remedy. 

If you or a loved one has something that is bothering you, I would be happy to talk with you. I offer a complimentary 15+ minute Get Acquainted Call. Either contact me on this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I work with all ages, babies through older adults, for many different health issues. I see people in person and virtually, in and out of the San Diego, California area.

Hearing Your Child

Over these last few months, I have seen quite a few children in my homeopathic practice. They have come in for different reasons, physical issues and emotional or behavioral issues. Often, the physical and emotional issues are connected. It is a totality of the child.

Many of the mothers will say to me, “I feel so bad that my child is in pain, and I don’t know what to do about it.” They say this whether it is a physical or an emotional pain.

My response is, you are doing something. You are hearing them.

These mothers are seeing that something is bothering their child, and seeking help for them by using homeopathy and possibly other healing modalities.

It is wonderful that mothers, fathers and caregivers too, of these children are hearing their child and doing something about it. The child may have not come out and said specifically in words, hey this hurts, or I am upset about, or worried about that, or fearful about this. They may not say it clearly, yet they are saying it, actually showing it. We just need to hear, listen, observe, watch, witness and love.

These are some of the issues that have brought children in for homeopathic care. Adults can experience these issues too.

• a cold
• a persistent cough
• an infected tooth
• different kinds of skin eruptions
• swollen glands
• stomachaches and digestive issues
• bad breath
• distracted
• anger – screaming, yelling, pushing
• night terrors
• pain when urinating and/or having a bowel movement
• not wanting their mother to leave
• concerned how they will be in new situations
• fearful of something in particular
• wanting things to be a certain way, wanting things not to go out of routine
• grieving for a lost relative

I say often that it is good to bring children in for homeopathic care because it is good to help them when they are so young, before things start to become more ingrained. Children have a strong vital force or chi. They respond well to homeopathy.

How Homeopathy Has Helped Some Patients

I want to mention again about THE MID-SEMESTER REFRESHER, a free summit being held online from October 24th – 30th.  I invite you to register for the summit and to hear my approximately 22 minute interview on homeopathy. There are over 20 speakers, talking about many topics that parents and parents of teens would been interested in. Here is the link to find out more about the summit, the other speakers and where to register.

Healing Is A Process

With talking about the use of homeopathy with families, I want to write about some of the people I have worked with over the years, and how homeopathy has helped them. I am not giving you the whole case of each person. I meet with people for almost 2 hours for the first appointment. Giving the main gist of the case, so you will get a feel for it.

Each person’s healing process is different. Usually for acute illnesses, you want to see something fairly quickly. For chronic health issues, it is a longer trajectory. The person has experienced what is bothering them for awhile, and it is an unraveling over a period of time. Of course with children, the healing is a shorter period of time because they have lived a shorter period of time.

Some patients did well with the first homeopathic remedy given, maybe one dose, or several doses over a period of time. Some needed more than one homeopathic remedy, a series of homeopathic remedies using one after another. This is quite common. Some patients, who did well, continue to work with me when something else comes up. 

Some Of My Patients

One boy who I saw had continual ear aches and infections. He had been on several rounds of antibiotics. The ear pain and congestion would return soon after each round of antibiotic. He was very sensitive to sounds, in that he could hear sounds very far off in the distance, running to his mother. We didn’t know if the sounds were uncomfortable or scary to him. After taking one or two doses of the homeopathic remedy, the ear aches, infections and congestion did not return. He was better and the circular use of antibiotics stopped.

Over these last two years, I have seen 5 or more children who had warts. Each child was different. One child had warts on their hands; one on their feet. The shape, the hardness or softness was different with each child. Each of them needed a different homeopathic remedy that helped them. This is a good example of how with homeopathy it is not a homeopathic remedy for _____________, (name, diagnosis, label), it is a homeopathic remedy for how the ________________ is experienced for each individual person, what it is like for this person and knowing more about each the person. Homeopathy really looks at the individual.

A young girl who had stomach pains often. She felt very anxious about what was happening in her life and about her relationships. She often would experience the stomach pains when she was feeling anxious. She did well with the homeopathic remedy, taking several doses over a period of time. 

A woman who had extreme sensitivity to noise and sounds. She had used other healing treatments, including steroids and chiropractic care, which she said made the sensitivity worse. When we first met she was using ear plugs and ear muffs, wearing them all the time. And the audio was turned off during our Skype appointment. She couldn’t hear me; what I said was being transcribed. It was the third homeopathic remedy that we used that helped. The first two didn’t do very much, yet brought us to the third, because we met and I would find out more about her, including her emotional state. Three weeks after taking the third homeopathic remedy, she said, I noticed that when I washed my hands, my ears didn’t hurt. She gradually did better and better. We used this remedy over a period time, giving a dose of it when needed. Gradually, her sensitivity became less and less. Now, she ha slight sensitivity when using a cell phone too long.

A two year old girl had extreme fears. She came from a large family and was comfortable with them. With people outside of her family, she felt fearful. She would scream if someone approached her, not make eye contact with them, run to her mother crying and screaming. She would say “I am scared” at these times. She needed to be near her mother all the time. At night, she needed to be near someone while she was going to sleep. If she woke up and found herself alone, she would scream. She didn’t like the dark. There probably was a light on in her room. She was also very frightened of the stove in the kitchen, and wouldn’t go into the kitchen alone. After taking a dose of the homeopathic remedy given, her mother said her daughter was like a new person. She was now saying hi to strangers at the store and making eye contact with them. She wasn’t afraid of the stove in the kitchen anymore. She needed several dose of this remedy over time. Her fears became less and less when around people. I continue to see this little girl and her family as patients, for other health issues, and other homeopathic remedies are used to address them. She is now 5 years old.

A 19 year old girl felt nauseous almost all the time, which made it hard for her to eat. She exercised a lot and was very involved with collegiate type team sports. She was training and was part of races. At these times, she felt very nauseous and would often vomit. The first remedy she took didn’t’ do very much. The second remedy helped, in which she experienced less and less nausea and was no longer vomiting. 

A dad of a family I work with was sick. He usually is very warm, hot even, person, wearing a jacket when others do. When he came to me, he was tired, run down, and very, very cold, which was not like him. He did well with the homeopathic remedy. What he was experiencing was more of an acute issue than a chronic, ongoing one. 

Homeopathy To Heal

You can see that people come to homeopathy for many different and varied health issues. I actually see many people who have tried other healing treatments and are not doing and feeling better. If you don’t see your health issue here, or in prior posts where I have listed issues people have seen me for, I invite you to be in touch with me and let’s talk. I offer a complimentary 15 + Get Acquainted Call. You can contact me either here on the blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. 

I encourage you to look at the summit, to see the different speakers. My interview is about 22 minutes long talking about homeopathy and how it is helpful for families. Here is the link again to the summit. 

Having “Difficulties”

 t   Part of this is a re – post.

Several years ago, I was attending a meeting in which I was introducing myself and saying a little bit about homeopathy. I was specifically talking about a patient of mine, a young boy. I prefaced what I was saying about him, with the statement that “it is not that children are difficult, but that children are having difficulties.” I might say that this is so with any age. 

I think we say that the child is difficult because for the people around them, it may be hard to be with them. It is difficult. The child may be too noisy, too unsocial, too quiet, too loud, not fitting in, too shy, doing behaviors that are not really sociably accepting. The child may be experiencing something within themselves, in their body, that is extremely unpleasant, painful, and uncomfortable. The behaviors may be a way for the child to sooth themselves, and the discomfort they are feeling and experiencing. The child is having difficulties, and we label them difficult. 

Having difficulties applies to adults too.    

What May Be Bothering The Person And How It Shows Up

What may be bothering the person, a child or an adult: 

• An inner struggle
• Difficulty in vision, hearing, processing information, paying attention, focusing
• Environmental factors – exposure to toxins, not enough food, reaction to foods, reaction to medications or vaccines, poor environment, abuse
• A feeling, sensation or pain within them that is SO uncomfortable – physical, emotional, mental or spiritual
• Relationships – abuse (I know I mentioned this twice), family discord, parental problems, family dynamics, siblings, friends
• A physical ailment, an injury
• A physical pain
• An emotional lose or challenge
• An unknown – which we may never know

How the bothering may show up in the person:

• Anger, acting out, tantrums, biting, hitting
• Fears, terrors, anxiousness
• Sadness, withdrawal, depression
• Difficulty in friendships and relationships
• Bed wetting, frequent urination, UTI’s
• Oppositional behavior
• Frequent colds, sore throats, earaches, stomachaches, headaches, persistent or nervous coughs
• Rashes or other skin eruptions
• Allergies
• Respiratory symptoms – asthma
• Skin eruptions
• Headaches
• Difficulty concentrating and focusing
• Sleeping problems, nightmares, sleep walking
• Digestive issue – constipation, diarrhea, nausea, not want to eat, wanting to eat too much

The symptoms that the person is experiencing are signs that something is not right. We listen and witness them and use them to come to the homeopathic remedy that is needed at this time.  

A Boy With A Recurring Cough

Years ago, I saw a young boy for a recurring cough. The cough actually bothered the mother more than it bothered the boy.  When I was talking and listening to the boy, I understood that what bothered him the most was that his younger sister was the boss of him. He was older, taller, yet he felt that she was the boss of him. Unfortunately, his mother did not bring the boy back for a follow up appointment, but I found out through a friend of the family that the cough had subsided. My guess was that the boy was also feeling better about himself, and didn’t feel that his sister was the boss.

To his mom, the cough was difficult, difficult for her to hear. And she was concerned about her son’s health. For the boy, the relationship with his sister was difficult. Was the cough related to how he felt about himself when he was with his sister? Maybe. Both the cough and how he felt about himself were pieces of the totality, and led to the selection of homeopathic remedy that was used.  

Homeopathy To Heal

I receive calls from people who are having difficulties. Often, it has been something they have been experiencing for awhile. Their health issue has not resolved. They have used different healing treatments and are not better. At this point, they come to homeopathy. I always say it is a process of healing. We start where they are, and go forward, often needing different homeopathic remedies as the healing process progresses. 

If I can be of help to you or a loved one, please contact me here on this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I offer a complimentary 15 + minute Get Acquainted Call to see if homeopathy is a fit for you. I work with people in person and virtually in and out of the San Diego, California area. 

 

See The Individual, Not The Label of ADD/ADHD, Nor Any Label

I have updated this post that I wrote about 6 years ago. I want to share it with you again.

We are all individuals. ADD/ADHD is a name, a label, to a long list of symptoms, behaviors and responses. When a child, and/or an adult, is not fitting in to the environment of school, of work, of life even, then very often medication is recommended by the person’s physician, and/or by the school.

Some Children I Have Seen In My Practice

Over the years, I have seen many children who have been given the label of ADD/ADHD. There may have been a commonality in that they were not doing their work at school, having difficulty focusing and attending, and were easily distracted. Some of these children were proscribed medication – some took it and some did not. I believe that all of the parents of these children were open and wanting other ways of helping their child than using medications.

As I met with the child and their parents, I heard and observed more than that the child was distracted. I believe that each child was suffering in their own way. Below is a short description of some of the children I have seen in my practice.

• One girl was constantly moving around my office, crawling on the floor, hiding behind the chairs, and going under the desk. As she was moving around and changing her position in the room, she was talking to me.
• One boy sat still in his chair. At times, while he sat in the chair, he would move his leg. He said if someone did something to him, he automatically (and he used this word automatically) started figuring out how to take revenge on this person. Sweet revenge, he said, and smiled somewhat. He would plan what he would do to this person. He experienced very frightening dreams of dark images, which he said came right up to his face. After the first dose of the homeopathic remedy, he said that the automatic feeling of needing to take revenge on someone was gone; he didn’t feel it anymore.
• One boy had the urge to just run away from where he was. He felt very poorly about himself. At school, it was difficult to focus on what needed to be done in terms of his schoolwork. He was very concerned on how he said things, because it might be hurtful to someone.
• When I first met this boy at the  door, he wanted to hide behind his mom. He also didn’t want to be videotaped. He felt embarrassed. During the school day, he was not focusing on his schoolwork. Once home, his mother needed to help him with his homework, going over the material he had learned during the day. After the first dose of the homeopathic remedy, both his mother and his teacher noticed that he was more focused on his work. His mother said that he seemed calmer.
• Another boy had angry outbursts and tantrums at home, at school, and in public areas.
• A boy who had a lot of fears at night.

There is more to each of these children than what I have written here. You can see how different each of these children are. Each child was given a homeopathic remedy that fit them, not the label of ADD/ADHD.

Healing With Homeopathy

With the healing with homeopathy, the child becomes more of who they are. The child is not changed. They become who they are fully, being curious and creative children. With the healing  process, the child no longer experiences the inner interferences that has made it difficult for them to interact in their environment, the world around them, and with their family and friends.

Although, I have written mostly about children in this post, all of this applies to teenagers and adults as well, who may have been given the label of ADD/ADHD or are taking medication. We are all individuals, and our treatment needs to fit us, not a label. The individuality of the person is what that has been given.

*******

I would be happy to talk to you further about yourself or a loved one who may have been given the label of ADD/ADHD or if there is another health issue they are experiencing. You can contact me here on this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I see people both virtually and in person. I offer a complimentary 15+ Get Acquainted Call.

Homeopathy Helps Children

I see many children in my homeopathic practice – babies through teenagers.

Children respond well to homeopathy. Adults do too.

To start using homeopathy when someone is young, when they are a child, is wonderful. It is side stepping possibly many years of medications and treatments that can be very invasive. (Some medications may be needed, and it is always important to monitor medications with one’s physician.)

Homeopathy simulates the person’s innate healing ability. Children have a wonderful immune system. They have a strong vital force/vitality, and respond well to homeopathy.

These are some of the health issues that children have come to homeopathy for: 

• anxiety – depression
• skin eruptions – warts (you have read a recent post on this), eczema, acne
• coronavirus
• delayed talking
• ADHD
• digestive issues  – stomach aches
• fears – ranging from a scary monster in their room to fear of losing a loved one
• nightmares
• difficulty sleeping
• injuries – falls, traumas, bites, emotional or physical abuse, reactions from toxic substances in our environment, vaccines
• ear infections, colds, fevers, coughs, sore throats
• teething
• thrush
• emotional and behavioral issues
• certain actions and behaviors – such as running away, constantly moving, fidgeting, biting, hitting
• difficulty focusing
• obsessiveness
• bed wetting
• allergies
• respiratory issues, asthma
• menstrual issues

Seeing A Homeopath

My job as a homeopath is to find out about the child, the totality of them. I do this through observation, listening to both the parents and the child, finding out about the child’s dreams, finding out what bothers them, asking about their likes and dislikes, what has changed and more. With babies, who may not be talking yet,  observation plays a lot into finding out about the child. 

With all of this, I suggest a homeopathic remedy that is similar to the totality of what the child is experiencing in their symptoms. The homeopathic remedy stimulates the child’s healing process. They start to feel better. A healing starts.

Sometimes what bothers the child is not what the parents always think is bothering the child. Several years ago, I saw a boy who had a cough. The cough bothered his mother greatly. What bothered the boy was that his younger sister bossed him around all the time. “She was the boss of me”, he said. This, plus the cough and more, led me to the homeopathic remedy that helped him.

From this experience, I learned that what may bother the parent isn’t necessarily what bothers the child. Together, the information from the parent and the child, help to make the whole picture, the totality of the child.

If I can be of help to your child, or one you know and love, please contact me here or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I offer a complimentary 15+minute Get Acquainted Call to see if this is something you would like to pursue. 

 

It Is Always A Good Time To Use Homeopathy

With the start of new school year, I wanted to repost this blog. Even though I am talking about children in this blog, homeopathy is wonderful for all ages.

*******

When I speak to a mom/dad/grandparent about their child, I almost always say this is a good time for your child to come in for homeopathic care. I say this whether the child is a baby (3 1/2 month old), young child, teenage child or 20 something child, or older. And I say this for whatever health concern the parents have called about.

Why Is It A Good Time?

It is a good time because the child is so young. The health issue that the child is experiencing is not entrenched; they have not had it for a long period of time. Children have a very strong vital force/vitality and respond well to homeopathy.

It is a good time because the child may have just started using medications, or is not using them at all. These medications may help with the symptoms and ease the discomfort, the behavior, the breathing, the itching, but they are not really healing. (Some medications may be needed, and it is always important to monitor medications with one’s physician.)

It is a good time because the child is still growing and developing their bodies, their minds, and who they are as a person. As parents, we want the best for our children, in their health and in their life.

It is a good time because often when a child is doing better, it affects the whole family unit, healing the family.

It is a good time because – I have a soft spot for children. I guess this is my “because”.

What Do Parents Call About?

These are some of the health concerns parents have called me about:

• ear aches and ear infections – the child may have been on several courses of antibiotic.
• digestive issues, such as acid re flux, spitting up, stomachaches after eating, chronic diarrhea, difficulty eating certain foods, constant nausea
• skin eruptions – eczema, warts, rashes
• continually crying and seeming to be in pain or discomfort
• breathing difficulties, such as asthma
• difficultly focusing on school work
• behavioral issues – angry outbursts, tantrums, pulling inside oneself by withdrawing
• chronic coughs
• menstrual issues – painful cramps, being very emotional and weepy
• reactions to vaccinations
• sleep issues – insomnia, nightmares
• fears
• just not feeling well

A SIMPLE EXAMPLE OF HOMEOPATHY – LIKE CURES LIKE

When someone has a cold or an allergy, their nose may be continually runny. Their eyes are  tearing, burning, and stinging. They want to rub their eyes to ease the discomfort. The homeopathic remedy Allium cepa, made from the red onion, can be very helpful for someone who is experiencing these types of symptoms, whether it is a cold or allergies.

Allium cepa is helpful because it is similar to what the person is experiencing. (LIKE CURES LIKE) When you think about what happens when you cut an onion, your eyes tear, burn and sting. And your nose runs. The crying isn’t like when you are sad, which is just tearing, but here, you want to rub and wipe your eyes.

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy is not a one size fits all form of medicine. It is always finding out about the person, and giving the homeopathic remedy that fits this person. This applies to someone who is experiencing behavioral issues, ear infections, digestive issues, menstrual issues, allergies, headaches, anything that bothers them.

It is always good to check with your physician. Homeopathy can be used alongside western medicine.

When A Child Runs A Fever

This weekend I was at a friend’s open house, and I was talking to a mom about her 2 year old little girl, Sarah, not her real name. Sarah was getting over being sick.  She had had a fever that ran more at night, than in the daytime. She had the fever for about 2 days, and it was pretty high. Sarah’s mom told me that this was the first time Sarah has been sick, and it was frightening to see her daughter run the fever and not feel well.

I commented to Sarah’s mom, that a fever is a good thing. It is the body’s way of healing. She agreed with me.

This is more of what I told Sarah’s mom:

Children often run higher fevers than adults do. With children, fevers, and other symptoms, come on quickly and suddenly, and seem to be very extreme; and, the fevers go away quickly and suddenly as well. This suddenness and extreme symptoms are a reflection of a STRONG vital force. It is a good sign. It is showing health. The body is doing what is does so well. The person doesn’t necessarily feel so good, but it is a good sign of health.

In comparison, someone who does not have a strong vital force, such as an older person or someone who has on ongoing chronic condition, may not run a fever at all, run a low fever, or run a fever off and on. And the illness may just drag on.

I added, that it is very common for children to run a fever at night, be fine the next day, playing and being active, and then run the fever again at night. Sarah’s mom said that is what had happened with Sarah, for two days.

I could tell that Sarah’s mom felt better hearing this. She seemed more relaxed, knowing that Sarah is healthy, and her body is  doing what a healthy body does.

*******

Sometimes, a person needs some help in their healing process. Homeopathy can be very helpful when someone is running a fever, has the flu, or has a cold. And if you are concerned when you or a loved one is running a fever, it is always good to check with your physician.

If I can be of any help, please contact me here on this blog, or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com. I do see patients outside the San Diego area through the use of Skype.

I would be happy to talk to you further about yourself or a loved one who may have been given the label of ADD/ADHD. You can contact me here on this blog or through my website www.homeopathytoheal.com.

I am happy to say that I will again be at The Healthy Spirit (629 3rd Ave, Suite B, Chula Vista, CA 91910) for anyone in the San Diego area who has always wondered about Homeopathy — what it is, how it works, how it can help you be healthier and happier –I will be there on Monday, May 16, 2016.

It Is Always A Good Time To Use Homeopathy For Children – Babies, Young Children, Teenagers, Young Adults

When I speak to a mom/dad/grandparent about their child, I almost always say this is a good time for your child to come in for homeopathic care. I say this whether the child is a baby (3 1/2 month old), young child, teenage child or 20 something child. And I say this for whatever health concern the parents have called about.

Why Is It A Good Time?

It is a good time because the child is so young. The health issue that the child is experiencing is not entrenched; they have not had it for a long period of time. Children have a very strong vital force/vitality and respond well to homeopathy.

It is a good time because the child may have just started using medications, or is not using them at all. These medications may help with the symptoms and ease the discomfort, the behavior, the breathing, the itching, but they are not really healing. (Some medications may be needed, and it is always important to monitor medications with one’s physician.)

It is a good time because the child is still growing and developing their bodies, their minds, and who they are as a person. As parents, we want the best for our children, in their health and in their life.

It is a good time because often when a child is doing better, it affects the whole family unit, healing the family.                                                                                                                            

It is a good time because – I have a soft spot for children. I guess this is my “because”.

What Do Parents Call About?

These are some of the health concerns that parents have called me about that their child is experiencing (and adults experience these types of health concerns too):

• ear aches and ear infections – being on course after course of antibiotics
• digestive issues, such as acid re flux, spitting up, stomachaches after eating, chronic diarrhea, difficulty eating certain foods, constant nausea
• skin eruptions – eczema, warts, rashes
• continually crying and seeming to be in pain or discomfort
• breathing difficulties, such as asthma
• difficultly focusing on school work
• behavioral issues – angry outbursts, tantrums, pulling inside oneself by withdrawing
• chronic coughs
• menstrual issues – painful cramps, being very emotional and weepy
• reactions to vaccinations
• sleep issues – insomnia, nightmares
• just not feeling well

Seeing The Individual Child

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that addresses the person as a whole being and as an individual. It is finding out what bothers the person, and how they experience what          bothers them – uniquely to them.

For example, the child may have asthma. After hearing how the child experiences the asthma and how it affects them, along with hearing about the child’s emotional life, their fears, their dreams, what they like to do, and their health history, the homeopathic practitioner gives a homeopathic remedy that fits this child. Another child who also experiences asthma, would most likely need a different homeopathic remedy, a homeopathic remedy that fits them.

Homeopathy is not a one size fits all form of medicine. It is always finding out about the child, and giving the homeopathic remedy that fits the child. This applies to a child who experiences behavioral issues, ear infections, digestive issues, menstrual issues, allergies, headaches, anything that bothers them.
