Homeopathy For Stressed-Out School Kids

Every school season brings all kinds of undue stress for students of all ages. It can also bring undue stress to parents, teachers, and caregivers. Here’s a compendium of useful tips — on how homeopathy can help kids beat school stress.

Just as each person is different, so can stress manifest in many different ways. Symptoms can include reduced appetite, quietness, or apprehensiveness, nervousness, buzzing feeling, insomnia, runny nose, fever blisters, rashes, stomach-ache, or jitteriness in the stomach, tantrums or emotional outbursts, anxiety attacks, poor or impaired performance, bed-wetting, anger, frustration, crying and more.

CONVENTIONAL DRUGS HAVE SIDE-EFFECTS

What solutions will your doctor or psychiatrist have for you? Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Common drugs used for children or adults in stressful situations, or to help them focus in school are full of well-known side-effects, such as depression, violence, suicide, homicide, weight gain, anxiety, insomnia [can’t sleep], psychosis and more… One might be left scratching their head, “Is there a better way?”

HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT FOR STRESS

Yes, the answer is a resounding ‘Yes.’ Homeopathy is a safe and gentle form of medicine. Homeopathy eases symptoms by kicking-in the body’s self-repair mechanisms. I like the fact that homeopathic remedies have no side-effects, save for an occasional temporary aggravation, or temporary worsening of symptoms… which is then followed by a healing response.

We use homeopathy almost exclusively for our own five children without question and have seen so many successes. In fact, in 13 years of parenting [plus my husband Dr Manfred Mueller’s additional 22 years’ experience with his first two children], we’ve never once resorted to antibiotics [plenty of infections, whooping cough, bronchitis, etc.,], antifungals, anti-depressants, stimulants, pain-killers [and, we’ve had 7 broken bones], vaccines [we use homeoprophylaxis], or any other conventional medical treatment — save for occasional X-ray for broken bones and dentistry.
