Ouch! Teething can cause babies so much distress, and homeopathy is so far the only medicine I’ve come across that cuts it (pun intended 😊).
When tooth cuts through flesh, homeopathy not only lessens the pain then and there, it reduces inflammation and makes the baby more comfortable overall.
‘I just can’t believe you gave me one thing and it is working’ – a patient’s words, it really can be that simple.
Teething isn’t just about pain either. It can lead to coughs and colds, fevers, earache, diarrhoea, mood swings and sleeplessness.
This means the whole family misses out on sleep, and generally you have less energy to spend on time together.
Thankfully, all of this can be helped with homeopathy. If you’d like to chat about what this might look like, book a free chat – click here
