14/04/2022 By Sapnaa

Whether it is Alopecia or Tinea Capitis, hair fall is characterised by excessive hair loss from the scalp. The condition is mainly experienced by young people affecting them medically and psychologically. In a natural hair growth cycle, lost hair is replaced by new hair.

Women experience hair thinning due to ageing, but some women experience hair loss soon after puberty with the hormonal … [Read more...] about Hair loss and Homeopathic support

Toby's story A story of homeopathy for eczema in babies What does a homeopath do when she can't fix her own child's eczema? Toby is my third child. When I brought him home from the hospital, I wanted to turn around and go straight back. The food may well be horrendous, but at least someone else makes it for you. There are a lot of jokes going around that once you have three children, you may as well go and have another one because it makes very little difference in the scheme of things. I began to understand exactly what was behind all of those jokes as I did my … [Read more...] about Eczema homeopathy and dairy Intolerance

Homeopathy, glue ear and recurrent ear infections

01/02/2018 By Penny Barron Leave a Comment

Recently I have been coming across many people asking if there is an alternative to antibiotics for ear infections and glue ear. A few years ago now, we did research on previous clients in our clinic who were treated homeopathically, to ascertain just how effective homeopathic treatment is for ear issues. This information is still just as valid today so I thought I'd re-post this blog I did on the homeopathic treatment of kids (and sometimes adults!) with recurrent ear infections and glue ear. ***** In the past couple of years we have been embarking on a … [Read more...] about Homeopathy, glue ear and recurrent ear infections

There are some practical ways to help a fearful child that without even knowing it, every parent will probably make use of.

Resilience Through Suffering From A Homeopathic Perspective

17/04/2014 By Penny Barron Leave a Comment

From Suffering to Strength with Homeopathy Nobody likes to suffer. Even before we’re born we are exposed to our mothers’ stress hormones; we startle from loud noises even whilst inside the womb and are powerless to prevent drugs, chemicals or other toxins to enter our developing bodies through the umbilical cord. From the moment we’re born into the world, suffering is inevitable. First there are sensations such as hunger, cold, heat, loneliness, fear and overstimulation when we are tiny babies. Maybe we have colic, or other digestive disturbances as our tummies … [Read more...] about Resilience Through Suffering From A Homeopathic Perspective

Challenging Children: Success with Homeopathy

12/01/2013 By Linlee 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
