Homeopathy

(Before I begin this post, please consult a doctor and/or certified homeopath
before taking homeopathic medicine.)

Homeopathy has helped our family with several different aliments. It has also helped several friends of mine. I recommend seeing a certified homeopath for your first experience with homeopathy and then once you have a comfort level with it, you will be able to treat your family's acute health issues. Acute meaning: colds, flu, injury, etc. Chronic pain or illness must be handled by a professional. If you are familiar with homeopathy, check out this website: http://www.abc homeopathy.com/go.php. You enter in your aliments and then it will suggest a remedy that may be helpful for you. Again, I would use this site for acute health issues. I mostly use homeopathy for colds and flu. It works wonders with helping the kids power through a virus. My new favorite remedy is Chamomile. I administer it to Lana when I suspect she is teething. It relieves her discomfort and irritability. I also use it for an upset stomach. It has been known to help with colic, as well.

I believe there is a place for conventional medicine. My preemie twins are living proof that modern medicine is a necessity. However, my homeopath has taught me that a lot of medications suppress an illness versus curing an illness. I like to use my homeopath in addition to our pediatrician. She is my go-to-gal for second opinions/alternative care for my family. Her website is: http://www.transformationalhealthpc.com. Check it out! :)
