Homeopathy for Children...Beyond Antibiotics

How many of us have sat at our child’s bedside feeling helpless as the

child suffers with repeated colds, fevers, respiratory complaints, painful

earaches, etc. Not knowing if anything is seriously wrong and wanting to

seek some sort of relief for our child, we may take her to see a medical

doctor. Chances are likely that she will be given an antibiotic, cough

suppressant, a decongestant or maybe you will be told everything is fine

and advised to just give her a dose of acetaminophen to ‘keep the fever

down’. You do as advised, your child recovers only to relapse again shortly

after. Now what? Another round of antibiotics? More drugs?

While we can appreciate that conventional treatment is necessary at times,

many of us have felt disillusioned with orthodox medicines and have come to

realize that in the long run the quick fix these medicines offer may cause

more harm than good. Although conventional treatment may temporarily rid

your child of the problem (the symptom), repeated use of suppressive

therapies over time can weaken the overall vitality and hinder the immune

system. Instinctively you may know that this constant drugging is

detrimental to your child’s well being and is not getting to the heart of

the matter, yet what else can be done? As parents we do the best we know

how for our children with the tools we have. This article simply offers

another most wonderful tool: homeopathy.

Homeopathy is an effective, safe, and non-toxic alternative to the harsh

drugs that are often given for simple acute conditions. This system of

healing assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. In

homeopathy tiny doses of natural substances are used to stimulate the

body’s own healing powers. It works ‘with’ the body instead of ‘against’

the disease facilitating true healing as opposed to the masking or

suppressing of symptoms, which may be the case with some conventional

therapies. Note some of the common names that speak for themselves such as

pain 'killers', 'anti'-histamines, cough 'suppressants' to list just a few.

Conventional medicine views the virus, allergen, or bacteria as the culprit

and, therefore, attempts to attack it, whereas homeopathy views the

person’s susceptibility as the true cause, and, therefore aims to

strengthen the individual who will then be less susceptible to these

environmental stresses. Simply put, conventional medicine attempts to treat

the disease, homeopathy treats the person who is sick, as an individual.

Of course children will get sick; it’s par for the course, but each child

is an individual and responds to the environment in an individual fashion.

Because of this individual response, remedies are always selected

individually. Being a truly holistic approach, homeopathy considers not

only the nature of the physical complaint but also the mental and emotional

state of the child. A successful prescription is based on the ‘totality of

symptoms’. For example three children with otitis media (middle ear

inflammation) would likely each require a different homeopathic remedy.

Child one has marked right sided ear pain that has come on suddenly. He is

angry and irritable. His face is bright red, his pupils are dilated and his

eyes look glazed. Although he has a high fever, he has no thirst. He feels

better sitting upright and feels worse with motion. This child likely

requires the homeopathic remedy Belladonna. Child two has pain in both

ears. She cries with the pain, a weepy cry that evokes sympathy. She is

clingy and feels better if held, pampered and rocked. Her pain is worse at

night. She does not like stuffy rooms and prefers the windows open. This

child likely requires the homeopathic remedy Pulsatilla. Child three is in

extreme pain. She is very irritable, demanding and nothing satisfies her.

She is weepy but in a loud, demanding way. One of her cheeks is bright red

and the other is pale. Her pain is aggravated by exposure to cold air.

Although sensitive to being touched, she is temporarily relieved by being

carried. This child likely requires the homeopathic remedy Chamomilla.

There are many helpful reference books on the market for treating first aid

situations and simple acute complaints homeopathically. Self-treatment is

possible with education. Homeopathic remedies have now become more readily

available and many health food stores and pharmacies (natural and

otherwise) are now stocking a fair selection of them. However, if a

condition is reoccurring often or has become chronic it is strongly advised

to seek the help of a professional homeopath who will take a full case

history and prescribe a remedy ‘constitutionally’. On the other hand there

may be occasions when certain urgent pediatric conditions demand immediate

conventional treatment. In these cases, it would be wise to have a medical

doctor prescribe a conventional drug immediately and then later have the

child treated with the indicated homeopathic remedy.

Conventional medicine needs to be respected for what it can do, yet we must

also be conscious of its limitations. Of course every healing modality has

its place but why not start with gentler means and save the big guns as a

last resort? Let us not forget what Hippocrates said, “first do no harm”.
