Children’s Health

Are you looking for alternatives for treating your children when they are unwell?

Naturopathy has a valuable place in the treatment and general healthcare of children. It’s a safe, gentle and effective alternative for the acute illnesses of childhood such as upper respiratory tract infections, coughs, colds and fever. Naturopathy also has a place in the treatment of chronic health problems such as asthma, recurrent otitis media and eczema either as an alternative or as an adjunct to orthodox medication. The difference and beauty of using natural remedies with children is that they ultimately raise the overall health of the child, support their vitality and encourage their inherent healing ability. Many orthodox approaches to child health problems cover up, suppress or cause other problems with long term repercussions.

Don’t wait for illness, maintain and build their immunity!

By learning what foods nourish children and how to use simple remedies, you can take in active part in your child’s health.

The very nature of childhood and having an immune system which is developing means that most young children experience bouts of acute illness. However, these shouldn’t persist or linger for a long time. It is not normal for children to be sick or unwell for the majority of their childhood. Using natural remedies along with a good diet can go a long way in helping children to ward off illnesses. If they do get sick, remedies help the child to recover quickly and completely.

I educate you how to use simple remedies at home so you can start treating you children straight away if an acute illness develops., or after having been exposed to illness. I also guide you in how to help a child recover well from an illness, because this helps the immune system to become strong.

Naturopathy can be used across all childhood stages of growth and conditions, including:

Introducing Solids
Digestive Health, managing intolerances
Improving your child’s immune system
Managing colds, coughs and infections
Middle ear infections, acute and chronic
Skin problems
Behavioural problems
