Homœopathy can be used to treat people (and animals) from the time they are first born until the time they have reached old age. Because of its principal of treating all of the symptoms (totality) all illnesses can be either cured or helped in some way, regardless of whether conventional medicine is being used or not.
Infant/childhood illnesses that are helped on a regular basis with Homœopathy are allergies (eczema, asthma, etc.), difficult teething, side effects of vaccinations, coughs/colds/bronchitis, all common childhood illnesses, nightmares/sleep disorders, convulsions, conjunctivitis, bowel/digestive problems and many more.
For adults, the range of illnesses that can be helped is also quite vast and includes menstrual/gynaecological problems and infertility and many stress related problems (mood swings, depression, bowel disorders, sleep disorders and so on).
It is important to note that Homœopathy can quite often be used in conjunction with many other therapies, such as Reflexology, Diet & Nutrition and Reiki, in order to maximise the effect. Its true that you may not be sure which one is working but you can be assured that they are all working together for your good or whoever the patient may be.
Parents can also become proficient users of Homœopathic remedies by enrolling in a First Aid Homœopathy course, this will allow you to administer effectively the normal, over the counter remedies found in the shops to family members on an emergency basis until professional help can be sought.
