Baby Homeopathics

1. Baby Homeopathics What Are Baby Homeopathics? All parents want the very best for their children; this dictates the quality of the food they feed them, the products they choose to use inside the home, and the solutions they select to soothe their baby's aches and pains. Homeopathic medicine is a wonderful alternative to harsher medicines (both OTC and prescription), and it is even gentler than plant-based nutritional supplements. Homeopathic Medicine All parents want the very best for their children; this dictates the quality of the food they feed them, the products they choose to use inside the home, and the solutions they select to soothe their baby's aches and pains. Homeopathic medicine is a wonderful alternative to harsher medicines (both OTC and prescription), and it is even gentler than plant-based nutritional supplements. Homeopathic remedies are central to homeopathy, a medical system that originated in Germany in the late 18th century. Homeopathic medicine is based on the theory that “like cures like"—i.e., a disease, condition, or symptom(s) can be cured or resolved by administering a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people. The “law of minimum dose” is another guiding principle of homeopathy. It states that the lower the concentration of a homeopathic remedy, the more potent its action and, ultimately, its effectiveness. In fact, many homeopathic remedies have been so diluted that no actual molecules of the original substance remain. Homeopathic medicines are ideally suited to infants, babies, and older children because they are safe and mild yet very effective. These medications are typically derived from natural ingredients of both plant and mineral origin and are gentle on a child’s delicate, still-developing system. Homeopathic remedies can be used individually or in combination for all sorts of conditions and symptoms affecting the mind and body.
