The Children’s Kit: A Homeopathic Ally for Parents
Why I Developed the Children's Kit
As a naturopathic practitioner, I developed the Children's Kit because I noticed that new parents often rush to the ER or pediatrician when their child has a minor fever or cough. This sometimes leads to unnecessary tests or medications. So far, 90% of my patients with children have found this kit indispensable, and it’s been incredibly useful for their families. By the way, these remedies also work for adults—just with a higher dosage.
In my practice, I focus on treating children with natural remedies, primarily homeopathy, while incorporating herbs and probiotics when appropriate. This holistic approach supports your child's overall health and well-being. From addressing common minor ailments to offering support for vaccination detox, I am passionate about providing natural solutions for your family.
What’s Inside the Children's Kit
The Children's Kit has been thoughtfully designed by Balance Into Health (that's me, Carola Cuenca!) to be your go-to homeopathic ally on your parenting journey. It includes 6 essential natural remedies tailored to meet your baby’s and child’s needs. This kit is perfect for self-limiting conditions, which are minor issues that resolve quickly, with or without specific treatment. These can range from mild infections like the common cold, flu, or conjunctivitis, to general symptoms such as earaches, headaches, teething discomfort, and back pain. These are everyday ailments that don’t typically require medical intervention but can be effectively managed at home.
How to Use the Remedies
Each remedy in the kit is easy to use, featuring homeopathic pellets that dissolve in the mouth or can be chewed. If your child is too young to chew the pellets, simply crush them and dissolve in warm water. The pellets are offered in 30C potencies, which is a safe and appropriate strength for home use. The kit comes with a helpful guide that includes a section on the primary uses of each remedy, a chart/booklet for easy reference, and a symptom index that directs you to the right remedy based on key symptoms. Dosage information is also clearly provided.
How does Homeopathy work?
Homeopathic remedies work by stimulating the patient's innate healing system. Homeopathic Health Practitioners call this the "vital force." The homeopathic remedy acts as a stimulus to move the system to work properly on its own. To provide this stimulus, your homeopath must select the correct remedy and dosage for you. Treatment in homeopathy is individualized and based on the patient's complete mental, emotional and physical picture. Therefore, the whole person is addressed. This picture is then matched with a specific remedy from over 4000 listed in the homeopathic materia medica. As a result, the strength of the potency works to bring a state of balance to the patient and help to release the symptoms from the body.
Who uses homeopathy?
The fact is that homeopathy is widely accepted around the world. Physicians that recommend homeopathic treatment are 39% of the total in France, 20% in Germany, 42% in the United Kingdom, and 45% in the Netherlands. A recent survey by the American Medical Association showed that about 14% of physicians refer patients to Certified Homeopathic Health Practitioners. The oldest, functioning medical society in the USA is the American Institute of Homeopathy, founded in 1843. Homeopathy is effective for children and adults of all ages.
What ailments does homeopathy address?
Classical homeopathy from a certified classical homeopath not only offers relief from temporary disorders but also can provide deep healing of a person suffering from a chronic condition. This includes conditions of a physical, emotional and mental nature. Homeopathy is also a preventative method. It helps to strengthen the immune system and works to keep the body in a balanced state.
Kit Care and Longevity
No special handling is required for the kit. It comes in a sturdy plastic container housing 6 one-ounce amber glass bottles, each containing 800 homeopathic pellets, and a one-ounce tin of organic Arnica in organic olive oil and beeswax. For optimal longevity and efficacy, simply keep the kit away from extreme temperatures and strong aromatic substances like camphor, menthol, or essential oils. With proper care, the kit can last up to 1-3 years.
