Homeopathy Homeopathy is a medical approach that uses medicine to stimulate the body's own immune system to initiate the healing process. It is an approach that focuses on the person's physical, emotional, and mental symptoms and is thought to be a safe method. Homeopathic medicine works much like your child's immunizations. The practitioner finds a substance that in excess, would cause similar symptoms to what your child is experiencing. Then, when the match is made, the substance is given in small safe doses.
Many parents consider homeopathy a godsend to their children.
Homeopathic medicines have been proven to be effective in treating teething or colic, reducing the pain and discomfort of a child's earache, strengthening the child's own natural defenses, and calming the hyperactive child. It is an approach that attempts to remove the causes of an illness and reinforces the body's ability to cure itself. Osteopaths use specialized soft tissue techniques which resembles massage. However, the osteopath is either preparing the area for manipulation or is dealing with problems that are distant from the area being treated. The neuro-muscular technique, rolfing, and connective tissue massage are all soft tissue methods that are often thought of as massage, however, are something quite different.
