Pediatrics

In the homeopathic sense, a healthy child is developing adequately both on a physical and mental level and can react appropriately to harmful influences.

—Christine Lauterbach, Ulrike Schroeder

Over the years of my practical experience, the treatment of children and adolescents has proved to be a matter of my heart. To encourage children and teenagers in their development is a great pleasure for me !

Homeopathy is a gentle form of therapy with a focus on character and characteristics of each child and adolescent and is thus especially suitable in pediatrics.

A well chosen homeopathic remedy enables development impulses that contribute to a better psychological integration of (new) emotional worlds. Especially during adolescence – in times of tension between security and the desire for autonomy – it can make sense to provide homeopathic support in times of crisis.

Wherever appropriate, I additionally use my knowledge in herbal medicine and offer a wide range of applications of healing plants, such as individual tea blends, compresses, tinctures, Gemmotherapy and similar. Likewise, an accompaniment to medical treatments is possible at any time.

Childhood diseases

Diseases are part of our life !

This is especially true for childhood diseases, as they imprint the immune system of adolescents in a particular way (lifelong immunity). They are highly important for establishing an active immune system.

Healthy children can usually cope with any of the childhood diseases. Many symptoms can be yet alleviated by the application of healing plants, bed rest and attention. In case of complications, an intensive homeopathic accompaniment may be appropriate.

One of my main concerns is to accompany and support parents of sick children personally and outside office hours.

This requires however, that I have already met the child in my practice. In case of acute illness I can provide advice to parents by phone and recommend the indicated medicine for the current situation.
A significant progression on the physical and mental level can be observed in children who have fully recovered from childhood diseases.
