Homeopathy is a safe and effective treatment option for many childhood illnesses. Most remedies can be used for all age groups, including newborns. The dosage is the same for infants, children and adults. Because I frequently recommend homeopathic remedies in my practice I developed a kit containing those remedies.
The indications for items in my kit include teething, fever, croup, cold/flu, allergies, fluid in ears, vomiting and other common childhood illnesses. The most frequently used remedies in my kit include oscillococcinum, belladonna, ferrum phosphoricum, spongia tosta and chamomilla.
Dr. Pam’s homeopathic kit contains the following items (subject to change based upon most commonly prescribed items)
*note-this is different from the suggested travel kit
allium cepa 9c: runny nose
apis mellifica 15c: swelling from insect bites or allergies
