Doctor Mom's Quick Reference Guide to Natural Healthcare

About this book

Dr. Moms (Dr Mums in the UK) is a must for any home with small children. In our modern-day quick-fix world we have come to rely heavily on antibiotics and chemical drugs which can suppress the immune system and subject our children to short-term side-effects and long-term consequences. We have forgotten just how effective and reliable are the common natural and safe remedies used by generations before us. Herbalist and lay homeopath Kathy Duerr has successfully nursed her own three children without the use of pharmaceutical medicine. What she has to offer here are tried and tested physician-endorsed natural remedies for treating minor illnesses without having to resort to chemical drugs. Some frequently asked questions addressed are: Is my child really hyperactive? Are immunizations really safe and effective? What do I need to keep in the medicine cabinet? Does my baby have colic? How can I get my child to sleep? My child has a fever is it dangerous? How can I soothe a sore throat or cough? What is the best way to deal with minor cuts and scrapes? The answer to these and many other problems is as easy as opening this book. We know that when your child is crying and miserable you need help immediately you dont have time to search through long complicated explanationsyou need simple quick down-to-earth advice from one parent "who has been there" to another.
