Homeopathy for Bump, Baby and Beyond...

Our local NCT group is organising a Bump, Baby and Beyond Fair which promises to be a fantastic day out for all - we have activity trials, seminar sessions, talks, demonstrations, a Table Top Sale (great for bargains and sellers alike - just the right time to have a good old clear out and re-stock with some fab recycling of toys!), I'm facepainting for the day and we obviously have lots and lots of exhibitors (around 60 and counting) coming along to make it a day worth attending with everything you need from pregnancy to early school years...

I've decided that I'm going to circulate a copy of my newsletter there with tips for remedies, minor complaints and ideas for incorporating some complementary therapies into your pregnancy so on the theme of Homeopathy and little ones, here's some ideas of what you could help with at home and some remedy tips...

Teething - Chamomilla 30C give where the child is angry and inconsolable

Colic – Magnesium Phos 30C give when the baby is doubled over in pain

Nappy Rash – Calendula 30C and Calendula cream (soothing and antiseptic)

Earache – Pulsatilla 30C give when the child is clingy with a greenish discharge from their ear

Fever - Aconite 30C for sudden fevers after getting chilled; Belladonna 30C when they have a very high temperature with a red face; Gelsemium 30C for slow fevers with chills, bone pain and fatigue

Coughs and Colds – Bryonia 30C when they are miserable, irritable and better for keeping still; Pulsatilla 30C when there is plenty of yellow/green mucous, clingy and upset

Vomiting – Nux Vomica 30C for bilious and bad tempered states; Arsenicum Album 30C for after bad food, where there is diarrhoea and restlessness

Bumps and Bruises – Arnica 30C which is also great for shock and exhaustion

These indications are merely a guide and should not be used in place of medical intervention.  For specific medical advice, diagnoses, and treatment, please consult your doctor.

If you’ve given the remedy several times and there is no response it is likely that the remedy doesn’t fully match the symptom picture and a different remedy may be required. 

Here's to a healthy spring!

Happy Homeopathic Prescibing...
