homeopathics

[Tara in MD]

we are just getting into using homeopathics. So far, we have only used arnica. Tonight, my 4 yo got banged in the cheek pretty bad, so I gave him an arnica pellet. He couldn't keep it under his tongue. ANy tricks? It still seemed to work. It was starting a swelling bruise, then just kinda faded out. I was impressed. He even ate soon after even though I think you are supposed to wait 20 minutes, right?

What other homeopathics would you keep on hand in a house full of little boys? I think I bought Ledum something (for puncture wounds and insect stings) and hyland's childrens cold stuff (4 different ones to take at the signs of a runny, stuffy nose).

What else should I get with my next order?

I *highly* recommend hyland's kids kit. It is great! There is a little book in the back that you can look up symptoms in and tells you what to give out of the 6 different bottles.
They are also easily dissolvable as they are sugar based. My boys think that it is a very special occasion when they take their's as it is something slightly sweet. They all work like a charm!!!
And there is no wait time either as far as consuming anything afterwards.
The kit also has a bruise stick in it to apply topically to bumps and bruises. It really helps on the boys' knees and shins from all of the wrestling and playing that they do.
The kit is an excellent starter and you can tell what works best for your kids and go from there.
