𝗔 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹?

New teacher. New classroom. New routine. Maybe even a completely new school.

For some children, the excitement of going back to school comes with a few 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 too.

In homeopathy, we don't choose a remedy simply because a child is nervous. We look at 𝗵𝗼𝘄 that nervousness shows itself.

𝗚𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺
"I don't think I can do it."

Nerves can bring trembling, weakness, heavy legs, tiredness or a desire to hide away. The child may become very quiet before the big day.

𝗔𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗺
"What if...? What if...? What if...?"

Lots of anticipation and excitement. They may talk constantly about what's going to happen, rush around, feel restless or develop a nervous tummy or diarrhoea.

𝗣𝘂𝗹𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮
"Will you stay with me?"

A child who becomes clingy, tearful and wants plenty of reassurance, cuddles and company. They often feel much better when comforted.

𝗟𝘆𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺
"What if I'm not good enough?"

They may worry about new challenges or their ability to cope. Interestingly, once they actually get into the classroom and get started, they can do brilliantly!

𝗔𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲
For more sudden, intense fear, particularly when something has frightened the child or the anxiety comes on very abruptly.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆.

Five children can all say, "I'm nervous about school", but each can experience those nerves completely differently.

We don't just ask 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 are you feeling?

We also ask 𝗛𝗢𝗪 are you experiencing it?

And sometimes, of course, a cuddle, a chat and knowing exactly who is collecting them at the end of the day is all they need. Want to learn how to prescribe? Join our One Day Online Workshop for beginners on the 13th of September! You can find more information at www.ish.ie or just message us here.

𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 & 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗘𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱?

Have you seen this recent research?

A 2025 multicentre randomised controlled trial looked at 222 children aged 2 to 12 years with acute otitis media, commonly known as a middle ear infection.

The children were divided into two groups:

• 116 received homeopathic treatment
• 106 received conventional treatment

Researchers didn't look at symptoms alone. They used recognised scoring systems to assess both the children's symptoms and changes seen during examination of the eardrum.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱?

The homeopathy group showed a statistically significant greater reduction in the combined symptom and eardrum examination score at Day 3 and Day 7 compared with the conventional treatment group.

Another interesting finding involved antibiotic use.

𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽: 0 children required antibiotics.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽: 14 children required antibiotics.

What about pain?

The median time for pain to reach zero was 3 days in the homeopathy group and 4 days in the conventional group, but this difference was not statistically significant.

The researchers concluded that homeopathic treatment helped manage acute otitis media similarly to conventional treatment.

A 7 year old child suddenly becomes very upset about going to school after the summer holidays.

For the last few mornings, she has been crying before leaving the house and repeatedly saying:

“I don’t want to go. Please stay with me.”

She clings to her mum, wants to hold her hand and becomes more tearful when her mum tries to leave.

She says she is scared at school but cannot explain exactly what she is frightened of. She worries that she will miss her mum and asks several times:

“Will you definitely come back to collect me?”

Her teacher says that once she settles into the classroom she usually improves, especially when someone sits with her, reassures her or gives her attention.

At home she wants much more affection than usual. She follows her mum from room to room, asks for cuddles and does not want to be left alone.

Her mood changes quickly. One minute she is crying, shortly afterwards she can be laughing and playing.

She feels much better when comforted and reassured.

Her mum also notices that she wants the bedroom window open at night and seems happier outside in the fresh air.

What remedy could help? :)

Would you like to learn how to recognise remedies like this and know what to look for in common acute situations?

Join us for our One Day Homeopathy Workshop on 13th September and discover how homeopathy can be used at home for everyday acute complaints.

A lovely opportunity for anyone curious about homeopathy and wanting to understand the basics in a practical, easy to follow way!

Yep. All infections, serious infections, life threatening infections and antibiotic resistant infections can be sorted with homeopathy, faster and better than with antibiotics.
But as always, safety first: call the doctor or the ambulance if the patient is in a poor, risky condition. You can give the remedy after you called for help, when you are waiting for help, or after you booked the consulatation with the doctor. To get healing, you need to give the right remedy that matches the symptoms of the patient.

I would also add Pulsatilla for children that become clingy and don't want to leave their mummy and daddy.

BACK TO SCHOOL REMEDIES

Where I am, we are starting back with schools and college, so I thought I would give a few remedies to help with the back-to-school-jitters!
By the way, it's not just for kids: adults get nervous too, especially teachers!
Gelsemium is for those who feel really anxious about having to talk to new people, there is a sense of weakness, the voice shakes or even goes altogether;
Lycopodium individuals can compensate with outward bravado, when in fact they are feeling quite intimidated and nervous before starting school.
Argentum Nit types feel anxiety in the stomach: rumbling, cramps and even diarrhea.
Mimulus is a Bach remedy for those who are really shy and timid in general and scared of new situations and people.

A recent study from Brazil assessed the impact of homeopathic preparations Sulphur 30CH and Calcarea carbonica 30CH, on Capsicum sweet pepper crops grown in a greenhouse or in the field. Sulphur was found to improve plant growth and fruit size in the field, whilst Calcarea carbonica affected greenhouse plant height. Although pests were present for all treated plants, the homeopathic preparations appeared to enhance plant growth and recovery after damage. Calcarea carbonica also showed promise in reducing fungal decay of sweet pepper fruits. This study highlights the potential for homeopathy to increase productivity and resilience of food crops grown in different horticultural environments: https://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/11991

Feature Friday: Ferr phos – The Inflammation Fighter & First Responder 🔥

Ferr phos is your go-to for the very first signs something’s off.

🎯 Sore, scratchy throat just beginning?
🎯 Sudden temperature spike?
🎯 That “uh-oh” feeling before a full-blown cold?
🎯 Minor injuries like cuts, grazes or mild burns ?

This salt shines in the early, invisible stages of inflammation, before it becomes a full fire.
It is through this mineral that the blood is able to bind to and carry oxygen all throughout the body, a vital task in any injury or infection site.

Called for in cases of fever, where the blood must move more rapidly to send oxygen to the areas in need, resulting in higher internal temperatures. This mineral will work to allow the fever to subside without suppressing it, rather it helps bolster the oxygen levels and allows the body to accomplish what is needed in a shorter time frame.

✨ A true first aid essential for every home. Gentle enough for the young and old. Powerful enough for the whole family.

Ferr phos: the salt of oxygen, immunity, and early intervention. Most infections and colds will be stopped in their tracks if you begin taking Ferr phos early enough ✨

🩺 Tag someone who always catches colds for a powerful ally.

𝗔𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲: 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗚𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘆?

An 8 year old comes home from a birthday party complaining: “My tummy really hurts!” Mum isn't particularly surprised when she hears what was eaten... Pizza, crisps, birthday cake, sweets, fizzy drinks... and apparently quite a lot of everything!

Now the child feels:

• Very full and bloated
• Crampy and uncomfortable
• Slightly nauseous
• Irritable and grumpy
• Worse after eating
• Sensitive to noise and doesn't want anyone fussing around
• Keeps saying, “I ate too much!”

They want to lie down, be left alone and definitely don't want to see any more food.
So... 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗱𝘆?
