“Canteris Hartley, DCH, HMC, treated both of my sons, ages 11 and 13. One suffered from chronic and reoccurring coughs, the other from insomnia and persistent leg cramps. From the first visit both their complaints were quickly and gently solved and their over-all health improved. I would recommend homeopathy to any parent who is looking for an effective and non-invasive form of treatment for their children.”

Flu season is upon us. Do you or your child have a cough? Do you or your child get frequent coughs or take more than 2 weeks to get over the flu or a cough? Homeopathy is an effective and safe way of treating the symptoms of coughs, but can also prevent you or your child from getting the flu or coughs as frequently.
Some adults and children have a predisposition to coughs and if you or your child get frequent coughs this is a chronic condition and it is best to address this condition from a deep level to resolve this susceptibility. Homeopathic remedies can be used for both treating the chronic and acute symptoms of coughs and can also address the susceptibility of chronic, frequent coughs through constitutional homeopathic treatment so that when flu season comes, the flu will not always go deep into the chest, last as long and nor will you or your child get the flu and coughs as frequently.
For bronchitis and croup there are some common homeopathic remedies that are effective and if the condition is not serious it can be treated at home using homeopathic remedies effectively. However, if the condition is persistent it is advisable to seek the help of a professional homeopath especially in the case of pneumonia or coughs lasting more than 2 weeks when there is a persistent high fever and difficulties with breathing.
An adult or child who has a healthy immune system can let the flu run its course as their body will recover on its own in a reasonable amount of time without severe symptoms. If symptoms do not start to improve after a week or two, then professional homeopathic treatment is recommended for complete recovery and prevention.
When you or your child are sick it is advisable to truly rest and unplug to allow the system to heal and fully recover. Take lots of warm fluids and try to minimize activity, work and school. When we do not slow down when we are sick the body has to work extra hard to recover and it can prolong or even make the condition worse than if you were to take the time to rest. If you are also using homeopathic treatment then this will speed up the recovery time as well.
