The Essential Back to School Items
As the summer draws to a close and we prepare for a new school term, it is the perfect time to begin thinking about remedies to boost children's immune systems and boost strength against the onslaught of coughs, colds and sniffles that they invariably become exposed to.
omeopathy works particularly well in children and a homeopathic consultation is an ideal way to optimise every child's health. The Back to School
consultation starts with a full medical history followed by detailed questions and observation of the child. This enables the homeopath to choose
the correct treatment plan specifically suited to the individual's needs.
Homeopathy not only boosts the immune system but can also help with ailments such as eczema, asthma, respiratory problems, stomach problems and
general health.
Case History of Jasmine:
A two year old girl with a persistent cough that had continued for a few weeks, poor Jasmine had a chest infection prior to the cough in which she was very ill and had been prescribed antibiotics. Her parents described her cough as a dry, tickling cough similar to whooping cough, and that it was worst at night. She was asleep when her parents brought her in and they said that she is a very crabby child and prone to tantrums that would bring on the cough. She was given Chamomilla 30c to be taken three times daily for two weeks as well as Cough & Mucous tincture: five drops, taken three times daily.
Two weeks later Jasmine's father reported that her cough had cleared, and she was prescribed Immune Tonic as a continued support. Her bad
tempers had also disappeared.
Case History of Rebecca:
Rebecca, a rather shy and timid four year old girl came in with Bronchitis. She had a history of asthma and repeated chest infection. Her mother explained that when she caught a cold it went straight to her chest resulting in repeated antibiotic prescriptions. On examination during her homeopathic consultation, Rebecca had a rattling chest and was producing yellowish-green mucous. Pulsatilla 30c was prescribed and The Organic Pharmacy Cough & Mucous tincture: five drops taken three times daily.
Rebecca returned to The Organic Pharmacy three weeks later and was doing much better. Her bronchitis and the heavy mucous had cleared. She
was then prescribed Immune Tonic to gently support her immune system and help prevent further episodes.
