I’m Not a Hippie, but…
I’m not a hippie, but I do love all-natural products. Specifically, homeopathic medical remedies.
Homeopathic remedies are a part of a natural medical science that works with your body to stimulate your own bodily defenses. Conventional drugs often cause side effects because they work by suppressing symptoms, however, homeopathic medications relieve symptoms by helping to put your body’s systems into a proper balance. These remedies support the body’s own defenses so they do not cause side effects. Homeopathy is highly individualized. The same remedy given to a number of different people will not work in all cases. A homeopath will give specific remedies based on individual symptoms.
I have used, and given my children, several products from Hyland’s Homeopathic Medicines. I have used headache relief tablets, flu care tablets, and even ointments for skin irritations, cuts and bruises, and acne. They have all worked, without any side effects (like drowsiness) and have provided quick relief. I have also given my children several Hyland’s products. They have used the teething tablets, cough syrup with honey (only for my 2 year old), and cold tablets.
Dr. Jim Sears, a board-certified pediatician and star of the show “The Doctors”, endorses many Hyland’s products and supports the use of many more products. He specifically endorses Hyland’s Earache Drops and Teething Gel and he supports the use of their teething tablets, colic tablets, cold n cough, cough syrup with 100% natural honey, and the complete flu care all for kids.
I would recommend at least trying some of these remedies to see how you like them. They are not for everyone, but we have found that we like them a lot. We started with the teething tablets when our oldest was a baby and they seemed to be miracle tablets. After continued success with those, I decided to try more products and have yet to find any products that I do not like.
