What is Paediatric homeopathy?

Adult and children's homeopathy is a holistic integrated approach to address and support chronic and acute illnesses using homeopathy, with a background in allopathic paediatric training. Examples of when complementary medicine may be used:

  • Chronic conditions: such as eczema, asthma, allergies, glue ear and repeated infections, skin problem, molluscum contagiosum, psoriasis, dermatitis, vitiligo, chronic rhinitis, chest infections, chronic cough, behavioural concerns, temper tantrums, sleeping difficulties, feeding difficulties and failure to thrive.

  • Antenatal and postnatal care: the use of safe complementary medicines to treat ailments during pregnancy and assist healing post-delivery, post-partum problems such as breastfeeding, colic, sleeping difficulties and teething.

  • Emotional development of children: including sleeping disturbances, feeding difficulties and behavioural concerns, combining infant mental health training with homeopathy.

  • Complementary Cancer Care: to support symptoms associated with cancer and its treatment
