Homeopathic Medicine for Children and Infants

I love it. Its super easy to read and thoughtfully laid out. First section is general info. Second section is list of symptoms. They are titled on the foot of the page in alphabetical order so it's easy to find the ailment. Then third section is more details on the major remedies and is also titled on the foot of the page in alphabetical order so it's easy to find the remedy. I'd recommend reading the book when you get it and not when someone is ill. The bulk of the book is the guides so the actual pre-reading is pretty short- I read it all in a couple days whenever I had a couple minutes to read a few pages. It helps explain how, when, why and what you should be doing. You can also get a glimpse of what remedies you'll need to stock by glancing over symptoms pages. I'll be picking up Ruta in case anyone in the family will be needing X-rays. I wish they had a list of top 10-20 remedies so newbies could grab them to have on hand for when ailments come up. I know it recommends to go to their reference guides for places where you can get starter kits, but I would have liked to seen an actual list of most commonly suggested medicines for this book. I definitely recommend this book. He made some suggestions for other reads for constitutional remedies that I want to pick up as well.

WOW! I really can't describe how grateful I am for Dana Ullmans books. We have this one and Everybody's Guide to Homeopathic Medicine and use both extensively. My 4 year old son has had asthma for 2 years and spent the first year on daily inhalers that never did much other than ruin his immune system. He was constantly sick and when it hit it lasted for weeks. About a year ago we decided to approach this naturally. We put him on a organic Gluten Free Casein Free Egg Free Soy Free diet (plus a couple of other foods that the intolerance testing showed) and started supplements. This helped tremendously and his immune system is improving. When he does get sick (which is getting rarer and rarer these days!) we open our homeopathy bible and start treating him. The response is FAST and either cuts the problem in the bud, or greatly shortens the time he is sick. I don't remember when he has last had/needed an inhaler, and I don't think he ever will again! I like this book better than the other one (for kids at least) because it is easier to find the correct remedy since it was written for treating children. We now use homeopathy for every ailment we get, and the result is nothing short of miraculous. For all those skeptics out there: What harm is it in trying it? You have nothing to loose and everything to gain!!!

EXCELLENT book/guide for taking care-homeopathic care-of children. A homeopathic doctor wrote it in simple, easy reading. I have been using it, with my daughters permission, for my 2 yr old grandson and 4 month old granddaughter and they are the healthiest children. They only go to the pediatrician for their wellness checkups...otherwise they are never there; whereas my son's partner won't use homeopathic remedies because she does want to "drug" her kids, and they are at their doctor at least once a week, sometimes more - mostly for colds and infections. In their short life (they're twins, 2 yrs) they have had more drugs than even some adults! THIS BOOK IS A MUST for every family seeking a gentler medicine to give their kid's when they do get ill.

Book is interesting , helpful, easy to read.

This is a great reference book! I now use it more often than my materia medica.

Great book for alternatives to modern medicine for the kiddos, loads of information!

My daughter tries not to give her kids meds, so this is great.

I use this book for EVERYTHING! Highly recommend, even though it says its for infants and children it has helped the adults many times as well, its really for everyone!

This is not just a book about children and infants, as many of the conditions apply to adults also. The layout of the book is excellent, probably the best, for beginners to learn about homeopathy and train to think like a homeopath. As a medical doctor and a homeopath, I have used it as a textbook in courses for years and, although I keep an eye out, I have not found a better book for the purpose of giving the gist of homeopathy along with a comprehensive tool for finding the correct medicine to treat friends and family. Along with a small homeopathy home kit, this book will get you prescribing. 5 stars and highly recommended.

The book was delivered with torn cover. But the book itself is great by content.

Have used on both my 5 year old girl and baby boy who has been very poorly and homeopathy has cured himof his repeated ear infections.I now stay away from medicines and treat my children through homeopathy through the use of a homeopath and this book, Its easy to read and follow - couldnt have wished for a more simple book!
