Puberty Stages and Easing the Transition

Transition is a period of changing from one state or condition to another In our lives, we go through many different transitions, some we have no control over, and some we choose. The ones beyond our control can often be difficult, painful, and uncomfortable. Puberty is one such transition. It relates to my own family at this time. As mother of two teen girls and about to enter the menopause zone myself (another major life transition). I am all too aware of the challenges that lie ahead for our family.

Everywhere I turn there’s a new article on Pyrrole and the far reaching problems it can cause. Perhaps that’s why I’ve preferred to ignore it for so long because there are so many trends that come and go in the world of natural health and I can’t keep up with them all before they fade out of favour. There’s something about Pyrrole though that keeps coming back to haunt me. It’s partly due to observing a very dear friend treat … [Read more...] about Pyrrole disorder: a homeopathic perspective

Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy

By Leave a 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

Sensitive children

By Leave a Comment

[byline_author] Some children have a nervous system that seems to be highly aware and quick to react. They pick up on subtle changes and like to think carefully before taking action. Sensitive children are easily overwhelmed by lots of stimulation, sudden changes, and other people's emotional distress. Some of these sensitive children can be a challenge to parent because they are quite active, emotionally intense, demanding, and persistent but other sensitive children are calm, turned inward, and almost too easy to parent.
