Homeopathic remedies are increasingly being used to treat common childhood ailments. They are safe, have no side effects or allergic reactions, are inexpensive and, above all, effective. In this guide, Dana Ullman explains what homeopathy is, how it works and how you can use it correctly to enhance your child's health. He recommends remedies for more than 75 physical and emotional conditions, including: allergies, grief, anxiety, headaches, asthma, measles, bedwetting, nappy rash, bites and stings, shock, burns, sunburn, colic, teething, coughs and colds and travel sickness Without doubt, this is the most comprehensive book on homeopathic pediatrics. Included is a complete guide to the correct use of homeopathy, recommended remedies for the treatment of more than seventy-five common physical, emotional, and behavioral conditions, and valuable information on the essential medicines that all parents should have in their home medicine kits

The American Institute of Homeopathy (AIH) is the oldest medical organization in the United States, founded three years before the American Medical Association. The American Institute of Homeopathy Handbook for Parents is the first AIH publication that offers another option for parents who are reluctant to participate in the widespread extreme measures of conventional medicine such as stimulants, antidepressants, and overuse of antibiotics. Step-by-step Edward Shalts, a medical doctor who practices homeopathic medicine, explains what homeopathy is and how it works. He presents a user-friendly overview of acute and chronic issues and shows how parents can deal with them, either on their own for some problems, or in many cases, with a qualified practitioner. This important resource explains the principles of homeopathy, the nature of remedies, and the appropriate time to use homeopathy.

Excerpt from The Diseases of Children and Their Homeopathic Treatment: A Text-Book for Students, Colleges, and Practitioners The period of infancy, when used in a medical sense, is understood as covering the time from birth to the completion Of first dentition, which occurs as a rule when the child is about two and a half years of age. Childhood covers the period from infancy to puberty, which in this country is reached at an age Of twelve to fourteen. When taken together they constitute an epoch in human life which is fraught with absorbing interest. Until within the last thirty years no American medical college had paid any special attention to the diseases peculiar to childhood; no children's clinics were held, and all that the medical student could learn about them was to be found in the text-books and didactic lectures on general practice. Now, however, all Of our princi pal medical colleges have a special chair of pedology; special children's clinics are deemed as necessary as any other, and numerous large and comprehensive treatises devoted to this subject are among the most highly prized volumes in every intelligent physician's medical library. It is not at all strange that this should be so. The period referred to is essentially different in every aspect from adult life. The anatomy, the physiology, the pathology and the therapeutics Of infancy are all sufficiently different to require special study and special knowledge for their proper under standing. That adults occasionally and exceptionally have diseases that as a rule are found only among children, does not militate against this statement.
