If a child is given love, he becomes loving... If he's helped when he needs help, he becomes helpful. And if he has been truly valued at home... he grows up secure enough to look beyond himself to the welfare of others.
- Dr. Joyce Brushers, Good Housekeeping, Aug. 2010
Children are our most treasured possessions. Every parent aspires to give the best upbringing to his child, especially good health
The homeopathic system of medicine is fast gaining popularity, especially in pediatric ailments because of its gentle methods of cure with no side effects
Homeopathic medicines are helpful to children as they increase the resistance of an individual by boosting the immune system. Thus, they help the individual fight against various diseases. Homeopathy treats children as a whole rather than just their symptoms. Hence, a homeopath will observe the child in terms of overall appearance, and the way they behave. answer questions and their entire pattern of physical, emotional, and mental characteristics are observed.
Each child has his own imaginary world, which only he/she can explain in a way he is the actor, director, and producer of his life. This inner fantasy world of every child is a gateway for a homeopath to enter into the child's realm. To help understand the child's innermost disturbance, it is vital to understand his fears, dreams, fantasies, fairytales, favorite cartoons, and toys. T.V. programs, movies, drawings, poetries, etc.
The state of the mother during pregnancy is one of the most important factors that help in understanding a child. All the physical and emotional changes experienced by a woman during pregnancy cast a big influence on the child. During this period, the child himself has not seen the world, but he is feeling, perceiving, or sensing it through his mother. Hence, it is essential to understand how the mother thinks, feels, perceives, and senses herself during the pregnancy period and around her. This can be recognized by the smallest of changes in nature, behavior, and unusual dreams. tears. thoughts, emotions of the mother, any alteration in the desire or aversion for food substances, any particular illness during this period, etc.
The state of the father during the period of conception is also at times significant to understand the constitution of the child.
In such cases, we need to enquire about the father's feelings/thoughts/sensations during the period when they were planning to have a child.
Such homeopathic treatment also improves the attitude of the child towards life and channelizes his/her energy to enhance his potential and creativity and perform to the best of his abilities.
All this information is essential and enables us to select the remedy. In order to find out all about the child, we shall be asking you (child or parent or guardian) several questions. Each one of these questions has a definite meaning and significance for us. There is not a single question that is of lesser importance. Even something that you may think is not connected with the child's troubles may be the most important factor in deciding the correct homeopathic medicine. That is why you must be free, frank, and spontaneous and give detailed information on each point. Please read each question carefully, think, and if necessary, consult someone close to the child and then answer completely. Do not keep anything back. Remember, whatever you tell us will remain absolutely confidential. We reserve the right to use this information provided by you for our in-house research or statistical purpose.
