Why homeopathy makes so much sense for children
- Homeopathy is a safe, natural system of healing
- It’s safe to take, right from birth
- It’s non-toxic, non-addictive and has no side effects
- Children who regularly visit a homeopath make fewer visits to their GP
- Homeopathy not only helps the ailment being treated, it also builds up a child’s immune system for later life
- You can use homeopathic remedies for day-to-day ailments and bumps and scrapes for which you don’t want to trouble your doctor
- Regular homeopathic treatment helps children be less likely to develop familial tendencies (such as to allergies)
