*Good health is a natural human state |
Homeopathy: The cause of cerebral palsy is unknown in approximately 70% of patients. The role of homeopathy is not only to competently select the remedy for a child with cerebral palsy, but first at all to reveal the roots of the disease, to figure out the connections between mother’s situation, delusions, dreams, fears, hobbies, maternal mental/emotional state, her general health during the pregnancy, and the infant’s condition; between parental state at the momentum of conception and child’s disease; between household situation, parental desire to have a child and wellness of the infant. Assessing a patient as a unique individual we follow the idea of innermost feeling of the remedy in selecting the right treatment. It is a common mistake to think that homeopathic remedy works selectively against some symptoms or pathological changes. Homeopathic medicine is prescribed for human organism, in order to better fight the disease. Homeopathic remedy consists of minute amount of different substances and tames disease with a single dose, stimulating a person’s natural defenses, helping the body heal itself and causing no side effects. Prescription of homeopathic remedies should be done strictly individually based on medicinal and constitutional type of the child and his/her psychosomatic features. The practice of homeopathy requires good rapport, trust and mutual respect between the patient, his/her parents and the homeopath.
Developed by Samuel Hahnemann in the XVIII century, being introduced in America in 1825 and then virtually forgotten for a long time, nowadays homeopathy is experiencing a renaissance in the United States. Families of children with cerebral palsy note that homeopathic treatment can improve quality of their child’s life, increasing strength, decreasing pain, enhancing selected motor skills and mobility, and helping with behavioral problems.
