Homeopathic remedies to have on hand!
Here are a couple of homeopathic medicine we always have on hand for us & for Miah! Most of these remedies can be used for adults or children, but the doseage needs to be altered for kids! My chiropractor taught me that when it tells me that adults take 5 tablets, to lower the dose for Miah and give her 2 tablets. It's proven effective thus far! Most homeopathic medicine is side effect free and no risk of overdose!
Viburcol pediatric oral drops - This is basically a homeopathic version of Tylenol. It relieves fever, restlessness, inflammation, teething pain, ear ache, & headache. We LOVE this stuff, and it has worked great for Miah when she has fevers or teething pain!
Camilia - This is wonderful for teething pain, and irritability caused by teething. It is very calming because of the chamomilla in it!
Hylands Teething Tablets - Also excellent for teething! Please note that with homeopathic tablets, you should drop them into the cap of the bottle, and avoid touching them with your bare hands, as it can contaminate the product, and it can possibly lose it's potency. We drop them into the cap and give them to Miah through the cap!
Nux Vomica - So awesome for tummy discomfort!! It does everything, from treating nausea, heartburn, bloating from over eating, and helps with vomiting! It's okay for pregnancy too, so will be great for those preggers with morning sickness!!
Echinacea - There is some debate over echinacea and possible long term use side effects, but I LOVE this stuff!! When I feel a cold coming on, or when I am around people who are sick, I start taking this, and it knocks the illness out VERY quickly!!! I have a childrens version for Miah as well, and it knocked her most recent cold out a day after I gave it to her. LOVE this stuff, and I ALWAYS have it in my house!
Probiotics - This supports a healthy digestive system and also supports the immune system. Miah gets it everyday, and when we run out of it and she doesn't have it for a few days, we notice a HUGE difference in her stomach. She has A LOT of gas when she doesn't take it (she has a lactose sensitivity) and wakes up at night with gas bubbles. When she has her probiotics though, she's fine. No painful gas, and can eat anything. Miah's never thrown up, or had diarrhea (other than when she was a newborn with the lactose sensitivity) and we contribute that to her always using her probiotics. We absolutely love this stuff, and are so glad we started Miah on it!!
Belladonna - Great for fevers, and migraines!!
Spongia Toasta - Used this for Miah's cough and it was amazing. Took her cough away VERY quickly, and helped her get a restless night sleep!
Those are all I can think of for now, but those are the major ones we keep on hand! :) I hope this helps if you're looking for a more natural approach to common complaints!!!
