Most parents give pause when medicating their children. It’s in the news regularly how some kid died from conventional medicine, and doctors seem all the more willing to write out those prescriptions these days. Their little bodies are still very sensitive and delicate. Homeopathy is amazingly effective, when the correct remedy is used. If you don’t use the correct remedy, you will get limited or no effect. There are no side-effects, making it very safe. Children and babies generally respond to it very well, improving natural defenses and lowering the need for conventional medicines.

But for many, homeopathy can get pretty confusing. For this reason, it is wise to consult a practitioner for chronic disease or serious problems. They can also help identify constitutional remedies. But for minor, acute issues, it’s pretty easy to learn about a few remedies and try them out. You can always add more after you get a handle on it.
