Being able to do something for your sick child is such a confidence boost when you are depleted and sleep-deprived from night feeds, teething, barking dogs. To be able to sit, observe and then methodically go through a list of suitable medicines, seemingly created specifically for your situation, is such a gift. To be truly useful to your baby is a blessing at times when you feel so overwhelmed by their suffering.

I was introduced to the dramatic effects of homeopathy when I was pregnant with my first child. Doctors thought I had all sorts of things going on, including chronic fatigue.

My first visit involved being asked the strangest questions to determine my constitution. Did I like butter, dancing …? Then I was given a little glass with clear liquid — oh the relief! Within a few minutes, the nausea and everything else melted away and I felt like me on a good day again.

Homeopathy is now a constant companion for me and, after attending a homeopathic first-aid course, I call upon these little miracles almost daily for our family and visitors. 

I use my first-aid kit regularly — for bruises, feeling homesick, feeling resentful — and our pets are wormed using a homeopathic medicine. I used to suffer with cold sores and the medicine has been so successful, I don’t worry about them anymore. Mouth ulcers, stuffy noses, excess food, mosquito
protection … everything is looked after.
