Of the paretns out there, how many of you have actually looked into and tried homeopathics?

Question

I mean, actually looked into it, and did the research? What were your thoughts/experiences?

Answer 1

ok my 2 year old was chronically sick the first 1.5 of his life= had pneumonia 6 times and ear infections from the day he was born- . now he's fine. we've had a large window where he was given antibiotics.
as he's been healthy for awhile i've been giving homeopathic drops to help boost his natural immune system and a honey and lemon mixture any time he has seems to start a chesty cough and sore throat. i really didnt like the amount of medicine i was puttign into him when tiny but it was necesary to relieve pains and suchlike.
i'm using all the tricks that i saw my asian mother use on me as i grew up. i know the eastern way works cos i went through it myself and didnt have a day off school.
read the research and found preventative measures are better than treatment of conditions.

Answer 2

we are a family that trys to use the homeopathic meds as much as possible. for everything that is wrong with us there is a natural med. we do use the over the counter pain meds. but for colds and minor problems like ear pain we use teas, and herbal oils and drops. we are lucky enough to have a great source of homeopathic resources in our area. as well as a tribal medicine woman/herbalist.

Answer 3

I dont believe in medicine at all. Aside from certain vaccinations and tylenol for fever and teething I dont put anything unnatural into my child.

I dont put weird herbs and plants into him either. But there are plenty of other things that work great for a slew of ailments.
