Homeopathy for Teething
Teething is a normal part of development, but it can still be an exhausting and distressing time for both baby and parent. Irritability, disrupted sleep, drooling, swollen gums and red cheeks are common during this stage, leaving many parents looking for natural ways to support their baby.
Within homeopathy, remedies are traditionally selected according to each baby's individual symptom picture. Below are some of the homeopathic medicines commonly used within homeopathic practice for babies experiencing teething symptoms.
Chamomilla
One of the most commonly used homeopathic remedies for babies experiencing teething symptoms. It is traditionally selected where babies become extremely irritable, difficult to settle, and want to be carried constantly. One cheek may appear red while the other remains pale, and the baby may seem unusually distressed.
Belladonna
Traditionally used within homeopathy where teething symptoms are accompanied by flushed cheeks, warmth, restlessness or heightened sensitivity. Some babies may appear unsettled and wake suddenly. Please note: Belladonna should only ever be used in homeopathic potency.
Pulsatilla
Commonly selected within homeopathy where babies become clingy, weepy and seek extra comfort and reassurance. They may settle more easily when cuddled or taken into the fresh air.
Calcarea Phosphorica
Traditionally used within homeopathy where teething appears slow and babies seem unsettled, frequently want to chew, or have difficulty settling.
Calcarea Carbonica
Commonly selected within homeopathy where babies fit this particular constitutional picture, including slower teething, perspiration around the head during sleep, and digestive upset.
