Homeopathic Medications for Children
Column #17, 7/5/00
by Jake Mossman, Owner of Taos Pharmacy

Homeopathic medicines are based on the concept that very dilute amounts of a substance can trigger a response in the body to cure itself. Homeopathic medicine has widespread acceptance in Europe and is gaining in popularity in the United States. Homeopathic products are usually in liquid drop or small pellet form. The drops or pellets are placed under the tongue.

One of the most popular homeopathic products in our area is Humphrey's #3 for teething and restlessness. Taos Pharmacy has also had great success with its line of Newton Homeopathics for adults and pets. These products are available for a variety of conditions including allergies, cough and cold, eczema, premenstrual syndrome, as well as most other common conditions. Pet products include drops for irritated skin, watery eyes, and digestive problems.

Other locally popular products include Traumeel ointment to help promote healing from sprains, strains and bruises, Cold Eeze throat lozenges to prevent colds and treat sore throat, Oscilloccum to treat the symptoms of the flu, and Arnica gel and pellets to promote healing from injury. Because of their effectiveness and virtual lack of side effects, these products are gaining in popularity.

Taos Pharmacy is happy to announce a new homeopathic product line specifically for children. Our new line of homeopathic drops by Natural Creations includes treatments for Nausea, Restlessness, Raspy Cough, Sleepytime, Fever/Inflammation, Watery Eyes, Runny Nose, Teething, Dry Skin, Earache, Croup, Diarrhea, Cranky, Cradle Cap, Colic, Constipation, Bedwetting, C-section Birth, Baby Acne and ADD. These products are specially formulated for infant and children conditions and are available only at Taos Pharmacy.

We are happy to offer a variety of over-the-counter products to meet your health needs including herbs, vitamins, and homeopathics.
