This past weekend when my kids were down with yet another case of the sniffles, I had had enough. It seemed futile to reach for the same antihistamines and cough syrups time and again. So I figured why not give homoeopathy a chance? If you are looking to forgo chemicals and are looking for something natural then homoeopathy is probably the way to go.

Homoeopathic doctors say that this alternative type of medicine is especially effective for kids because their young bodies are developing. Their nervous systems are just beginning to integrate with the endocrine and immune systems and with various other organ systems. Although the human organism can be incredibly resilient, it can also be very fragile, especially during infancy and that's why homoeopathic medicines are safe for infants.

Does your child lose their appetite after every round of antibiotics? Homoeopathic medicines do not hamper digestion, they work on alleviating immunity all while clearing up chronic ailments. The best part? None of those battles when you administer the medicines! These pills are sweet and no kid ever said no to little balls of sugar! So if you are looking to create your very own homoeopathy first aid kit for everything from cuts and bruises to colds and sore throats then here is how you do it. The following fundamental remedies (available at any health food store) can be used to treat most minor injuries and ailments:
