Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hi all, I was just wondering if any of you regularly use herbal and/or homeopathic remedies for your kids, and if so, from what books or other resources do you get information to help you? I'd really like some recommendations. Thanks! Maria Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 I am actually just starting to look into herbal remedies myself. We have a really good herbalist in our area who wrote her own book, however I think that it is only available locally here. But if I find out that its available on a larger scale I'll let you know. , Maria Rasmussen <amigosaqui> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I was just wondering if any of you regularly use herbal and/or homeopathic remedies for your kids, and if so, from what books or other resources do you get information to help you?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Maria When I was pregnant I found a natural pregnancy book by Aviva Jill Romm. I liked her outlook/approach so I've also read her book on childcare but can't remember the name of it. What I do is head to the library and checkout all the books on natural chilcare and related topics and then browse to see if they're what I'm looking for. This is the most cost efficient way to do it as I find I often read 3 or 4 books that are not what I'm looking for before I find one I like. I have also been known to call local hfs/herbalist/etc. and ask if they have anything for ear infections (the plague in our home). The first time I did this my son was 7 mos. old and truly in pain. The doc was being alarmist, almost threatening, telling me about permanent hearing loss etc. I got out the free magazine (really advertisements) that I'd picked up at the hfs and started calling. One man told me what he had used for his daughter and even stayed open late so I could pick it up. You could also check with your local naturopath if they ever have free info sessions for the public (some do this hoping to get new clients) or ask a chiropractor or midwife as they are often familiar with alternative forms of healing. Mothering magazine often has some tips or info on resources. I always ask the person at the hfs if they know any natural remedy for whatever is ailing us. I don't usually buy what they suggest without doing a bit of research but I find I usually learn something interesting. Good luck, Madeline >Maria Rasmussen <amigosaqui > > > natural medicine for kids >Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:45:16 -0800 (PST) > > >Hi all, > >I was just wondering if any of you regularly use herbal and/or homeopathic >remedies for your kids, and if so, from what books or other resources do >you get information to help you?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 I regularly use both homeopathic and herbal medicine for my children. I do have to say, though, that my children have rarely been sick. The exception to this is when my son was three, he came down with a massive double ear infection and became severely dehydrated. None of my remedies worked. That was the only time that I resorted to western medicine. Most of my information comes from these sources: Natural Healing for Children by Winifred Conklin, Natural Health magazine, Handbook of Bach Flower Remedies, and The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. There are several sites that I go to for info, not advice. I also have a local chiropractor/homeopathic practitioner that is wonderful about giving me feedback over the phone. Let me know if you have specific questions.......
