Children’s Health

Children are extremely receptive to holistic medicine and gentle healing techniques such as homeopathy, as their bodies are generally more sensitive. We also offer an opportunity to avoid or reduce the use of “drug-based” therapy to “treat” health complaints, but which often merely suppress symptoms or result in increased recurrence rates eg of infection, as with antibiotics.

IMI's practitioners have considerable experience in working with children to treat both chronic and acute illnesses, and the basic principle is to enhance immunity by removing causes of illness (eg diet allergy or nutritional deficiency) and stimulating immunity (eg with diet, nutritional supplement, herbs or homeopathy).

Common health conditions for children and infants, commonly treated at IMI include:

• Colds and flu
• Allergy symptoms such as allergic rhinitis, sneezing, asthma, eczema and urticarial rashes
• Mood swings, insomnia, anxiety
• Colic, poor appetite, constipation or similar digestive issues
• Learning and behavioural issues such as ADD and hyperactivity, including Autism

Many practitioners at IMI are highly respected for their work with infants and children, the naturopathic team all especially familiar with allergies and improving nutritional issues. Dr. Sonal is internationally recognized for her work in the field of autism, learning and behavioral difficulties using homeopathy.
