Mother and Child
As parents we all have hopes and aspirations for our children. Before they are born or even conceived we have ideas about what they may look like, what gender they may be and we plan a wonderful life for them. But what is the single greatest gift you can give your child? Vibrant good health of course.
But in a world where children as young as ten are being diagnosed with early signs of heart disease, a third of the young children in an infant school may be taking Ritalin, many have been diagnosed with asthma and are dependent on several inhalers for the foreseeable future; good health is often taken for granted.
Children know instinctively how to get better and what they need from the parents is nurture, support and care to guide them through. Sick children sleep a lot, eat very little, run a fever to kill off bugs and use their energy to kick-start the body’s own healing processes. But in our increasingly busy and stressful society we have forgotten the art of just allowing events to take their own course. Parents are under pressure not to take time off work to care for their children so there has become a need to get our children well as quick as possible.
The ‘quick-fix’ solution to any illness is not always the answer. Repeated amounts of over the counter prescriptions do not allow your child’s immune system to develop and fight the infection, which their bodies are completely equipped to do. So it becomes a vicious circle. More illness, more medication, which leads to a weaker immune system, so your child becomes ill more often!
The popularity of a natural solution is also perhaps particularly heightened when a women is pregnant, with many of us reluctant to use conventional medicines while expecting a baby in fear that they may harm the foetus. Homeopathy is completely safe to use throughout all trimesters of pregnancy and it is extremely helpful in the birthing process.
The Mother & Baby Clinic has been set up to offer support and relief for parents and their children through what can be an extremely hard, tiring, thankless and scary time. It is for parents who want to build a better and lasting health for their children.

The Drop In Clinic
The drop-in Clinic has been designed to treat patients of all ages who have ‘acute’ conditions. These conditions can be treated in a short 15 minute appointment without the cost of a full consultation. This is a great way to keep children off antibiotics for their colds, coughs, flu’s and temperatures or to help newborns with colic or teething.
Throughout pregnancy many acute conditions come to light such as morning sickness, heartburn, headaches, constipation & diarrhoea, back ache, cramping in legs and arms and much more.
Or you can just use the drop-in clinic as an introduction to homeopathy, to see if it is the right therapy for you.
