Children's Health

If your children are to enjoy optimal health, they must eat well, sleep well, be well balanced emotionally (happy family life helps, believe me), as well as developing good nutritional habits. Your children must trust you. When you take the kids out in the car, you make sure they’re buckled up. They count on you as their parent, to help them with their homework. When a toy is broken, they generally go to Dad to get it fixed, when they want a cuddle - they go to Mum or Dad.

And what about their nutritional and dietary needs? They also entrust you. If you don’t care about your children’s health and well being, then who will? It’s one of your jobs as the caregiver to train them in the correct ways of living, leading to their optimal health and well-being.

I have four children, aged between 10 and 16, and have always believed in the ‘first do no harm’ approach when it comes to health care of children. If your children are well balanced, get plenty of love, attention, good food, warmth and a sense of "being wanted", they will thrive. Kids don't need drugs and medical intervention - they need you!

Naturopaths often end up seeing many children with all sorts of health problems. Like many other practitioners of other disciplines in natural medicine, we often get cases of children who have been treated by various other practitioners, including the doctors and specialists.  Many parents today prefer a less drug based treatment approach for their children, and can recognise the safe natural medicine treatments when it comes to complaints like recurring coughs & colds, acne, eczema, constipation, eating disorders, obesity, period problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, and the many other conditions affecting the younger members of our society.
