There are some practical ways to help a fearful child that without even knowing it, every parent will probably make use of. They will model situations when the child should be fearful and when the child should be cautious. Touching the hot stove top and crossing the road are two examples.

These childhood fears and anxieties may change as the child grows up. Helping the child to deal with fear includes taking their … [Read more...] about Practical Ways To Help A Fearful Child

Homeopathy and true scepticism

04/09/2015 By Linlee Leave a Comment

I would like to invite my friends to exercise true scepticism when it comes to the topic of homeopathy. I hear you thinking “Huh? I thought you were annoyed with the sceptics?” Well, perhaps yes, but not in the way that you may surmise. Despite it being widely used around the world, Homeopathy is an alternative form of medicine which sceptics love to attack and make comments about. I admit that it’s mildly annoying when certain sceptics occupy themselves by making their witty anti-homeopathy statements. They seem to entertain themselves. But, it’s more than … [Read more...] about Homeopathy and true scepticism

Henry’s mum felt guilty - she saw her child suffering, he was always scratching. She wondered if they were doing enough, and this drove her on to see one specialist after another. She felt singled out when well meaning people in the street would make suggestions, as if she hadn’t already tried everything. Part of Henry's story is told in this excerpt from a recently published ATMS journal article, A Cup of Tea in the Consulting Room: The Latest in Homoeopathy about Eczema and Allergies. The authors Linda Beaver (LB) and Linlee Jordan (LJ) shared a conversation … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for eczema and allergies

18/03/2015 By Linlee Leave a Comment

Impetigo is a contagious skin complaint known as 'school sores', which is caused by staphylococcus and/or streptococcus. It might start with tender red spots around the mouth which turn into little blisters which later go crusty. In our homeopathy clinic, it's a frequently asked question: Can we use homeopathy for impetigo? Since it's such a common complaint it's a relief to know that homeopathy is commonly used to treat it. Treatment should be started as soon as it's realised that the skin problem is impetigo. The first homeopathic remedies we … [Read more...] about Homeopathy for Impetigo

Homeopathy Kit in Hahndorf

15/03/2015 By Linlee Leave a Comment

A visit to the Adelaide Hills turned up an old homeopathy kit tucked away in the local Hahndorf museum. Hahndorf is a little town up in the Hills of Adelaide. No prizes for guessing that there's a strong German influence in this part of South Australia. It is acknowledged as Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement. The place is chock a block with wood carvings for tourists and strange varieties of sausage. But it is the buildings and the history which appeal to me, so I headed over to The Hahndorf museum. It has a fascinating display about the lives of … [Read more...] about Homeopathy Kit in Hahndorf

Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy

12/01/2013 By Linlee 1 Comment

One of the great strengths of Homeopathy is the treatment of behavioural problems. The history of homeopathy shows that it is not only in recent times that Homeopathy has laid claim to being able to help challenging children. As far back as 1842, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, described a 14-year-old-girl who was treated because she “spoke irrationally, could not work, rapidly gets in a rage and beats everyone, and became as if mad”. After three months using the remedies Belladonna, Hyoscyamus and Sulphur she “became a healthy, rational, amiable … [Read more...] about Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy
