Teething and Homeopathy

Teething is a phase experienced by all babies, and sometimes feared by parents, usually lasting from the age of six months to three years. Some children are just mildly bothered by the appearance of their first teeth, or milk teeth, while others cry a lot, are unable to fall asleep, wake frequently and are generally cranky. The gums are red and sore, drooling is typical and the fingers are repeatedly put into the mouth. It is not uncommon for teething to be compounded by fever, stomach upsets and diarrhea.

Teething pain is felt when the gums become sore and inflamed as the teeth grow and break through the skin. The upper incisors are usually the first to appear, but the molars produce the most discomfort. Often, allowing the infant to bite something fairly hard and cold is helpful.

Spring has sprung and allergies are in the air

Spring has sprung a little early this year, and as a result, so have allergies.  I Started noticing the red eyes and the sniffling a few weeks ago as the trees started to bud, but now, everywhere I look, I see people with tissues coming out of their sleeves and a blurry puffed up look about their eyes trying to see through the mist of tears. There is also the classic sign of itchy throat or constant throat clearing that happens at this time of year. These poor individuals have to clear their throats about every 2 minutes, or cluck their tongue at the back of their mouths in the hopes of scratching that unscratchable itch. For some, allergies are paired with asthma, or eczema, adding more drugs to their pharmaceutical maintenance regime, or they suffer. Thus is the fate of the allergy sufferer,unless they deal with their underlying sensitivity.

Homeopathic Help for Insomnia

Do you lie awake at night, worrying about... well anything and everything? Do you make lists, think of things that you have to do, think about the things you did or didn’t do today, check the clock toss and turn and worry about what time you have to get up the next morning and how tired you are going to be because you just can’t get to sleep?

Maybe you are OK getting to sleep, but you can only sleep for a certain amount of time and then you wake up, switch position, grab a snack, but no matter what you do you can't seem to stay asleep.

Sleeping Like a Baby?

Here are some tips to help your baby, and you, get a better night sleep.

Babies and children are individuals just like adults, and each baby will need a different amount of sleep to stay healthy and happy. Babies and children often need more sleep during growth spurts and teething. Helping them to be good sleepers early on will help to keep them healthier and supported by the rest they need.

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a natural system of medicinal healing.  It uses micro doses of natural substances (remedies) to guide the body and mind in healing itself.

The remedies used in classical homeopathy can be made of plant, animal or mineral material.  Gold for example is used as a remedy called aurum.
