Frequently Asked Questions

1. How often should I give a remedy to my child?

A remedy should only be given as needed. Let’s say your child is taking the remedy, Stramonium, for nightmares and trouble sleeping at night. You should only dose again when the nightmares and difficulty at night reappear. You do not give remedies routinely or preventatively like allopathic medication, herbs, or vitamins. The state of being doesn’t improve just for the sake of taking the remedy more often.

2. What can I expect after the remedy is taken?

If it is the correct remedy, you should see symptoms improve soon after. This can happen within seconds, minutes, or days. If it is not the correct remedy, you probably won’t observe any change which will indicate that it wasn’t the correct remedy.

3. Are there side effects from homeopathy?

There are no negative side effects from homeopathic remedies. They are non toxic and safe for all persons. Sometimes, an aggravation will occur. This indicates that the remedy is correct and the body is rebalancing. An aggravation can be a worsening of symptoms for a short time. This may also be a sort of detox in the body. When the aggravation ends, the symptoms will have improved! There will be a state of relief and peace.

4. Do allopathic medicines interact with homeopathic remedies?

The short answer is no. There are no negative side effects from taking a medication while using homeopathy. Sometimes, the remedies will not work as deeply if taken with other drugs or medications. Remember homeopathy is never a replacement for medical treatment.

5. How long will homeopathic treatment take?

It really depends on the health of the child and the severity of symptoms. For more complicated cases, treatment will last longer. For simpler cases, rebalancing can occur quickly. Homeopathy is very similar to the peeling of an onion. After one layer is improved, another layer that needs help will often present itself, indicating another remedy for the program.

6. What are these layers? Why isn’t the body balanced?

People can carry various imprints from genetics, illness, medications, vaccinations, etc. These imprints will show themselves during the program and point us to the correct remedy at any given time. Children often feel better faster because they do not carry as many years of imprinting as an adult.

7. How do we know what the imprints are?

They will be indicated often from the symptoms. The patient and family history is very important for this reason too. Information and events that stand out for you are often necessary clues to share for our success. They can serve as a map on this journey.
