Homeopathy

Has anyone else taken their child to a homeopath? I was reading a leaflet on it yesterday and think it could really help Tom with his tummy and subsequant grouchyness. I'd love to hear other mums experiences before sheling out lots of cash.

This will be a slightly biased reply as I am a homeopath but yes I think it's amazing, obviously I trained initially after some amazing treatment successes with me and my family, it has cured my childred on many problems including glue ear, molluscum, teething troubles, recurrent colds and lots more. I mainly work with babies and children and find that they are normally the easiest to treat and have the most succesful results.

Most homeopaths offer discounts for children too so it needn't be that expensive.

What specific problems were you thinking of? I might be able to help you online.

We actually went to see our Homeopath last week and I've already noticed a dramatic difference in Tom. He suffers with terrible mood swings due to frustration which then cause him to be very sicky and suffer from terrible constipation.

We do homeopathic teething granules from Holland and Barratt and I notice a almost immediate effect in Alexa (and even josh when he was younger too).

My friend takes her son who also has CLD (same as Josh) to a homeopath and she swears by him, and says although she is paying money its certainly worth it.

Claire - Just wondered how much you pay to take Thomas? and how often you need to go? Am looking into it for my 2 but obviously cost atm is a big factor.

£45 for the first consultation and £32 for every one after, but that includes all your remedies and she will probably do you a two for one if you took them together or certainly a discount. At first it's once a month or every six weeks until you find the right remedies and with time you can just go once or twice a year as you will learn to self prescribe.
