Is homeopathy medically approved?!


Question:

Is homeopathy medically approved?

I want my child to have homeopathic remedies as she is very reluctant to take traditional medication. My ex will not pay it as he does not believe it is medically approved. I want to prove him wrong


Answers:

Some doctors practice it, as do vets. The Royal family use it and look how old the Queen Mother was when she died, and how rarely the Queen or the other royals are ill. Homoeopaths are highly regulated and the training takes four years.

I had this problem with my daughter and she was nearly twenty before she would take a pill however much she was in pain. It is a real nuisance. What I did was to have conditions checked by the doctor then decide if an allopathic treatment is best. A useful site is abchomeopathy.com. My daughter tolerates aromatherapy and reflexology, which she prefers to tablets, even homeopathic ones. There are plenty of excellent books on how to self-treat using these therapies

The Complete Homoeopathy Handbook by Miranda Castro is an excellent buy, because she explains what you can safely treat at home, and how to use the remedies. The trick is to stop using the remedy when the symptoms start clearing up.
Many common remedies are available over the counter and Ainsworths (the company used by the Royal family) do a basic 42 remedy kit a v reasonable price.

As for those who suggest you are trying to prove your husband wrong and are encouraging your daughter to refuse medication - fear of choking on pills is common, even in adults. It has nothing to do with which is best allopathic or complementary medicine. And I would point out, once you have armed yourself with a little basic knowledge -i.e. what it is safe to treat and what it is not - often cheaper than a GP's prescription per treatment. Most remedies cost around £4 as opposed to £6, and can last for decades. Safer too. I have yet to hear of a toddler being rushed to hospital having swallowed mummy's homeopathic remedies.
