The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Hylands Calms Forte 4 Kids anyone?

Hello all, I am travelling from U.S to India shortly with my 18 month old baby boy. The words hyper & active are not sufficient to describe my baby. Also, he hates to sit still for a second as well as sleeping. I have been reading up as to how to manage an extremely active toddler on a long flight and many people have suggested Benadryl. But I do not want to give him Benadryl. I also came across a homeopathic med called Hylands Calms Forte 4 kids. It calms children as well as helps them to sleep well. The majority of the reviews were very good about this med. The one thing that has me really interested in it is that there are no side effects to it. Has anyone used it on this forum and if yes, what were the results. I appreciate all your suggestions and advice.
Also, the folloing are the ingredients in it:

Formula:

Aconitum Nap. 6X HPUS - for physical & mental restlessness

Calc. Phos. 12X HPUS - for pains in joints & bones, peevishness

Chamomilla 6X HPUS - for irritability, restlessness, sleeplessness

Cina 6X HPUS - for nightmares, irritability of temper

Lycopodium 6X HPUS - for lack of focus, extreme sensitivity

Nat. Mur. 6X HPUS - for irritability, crying, oversensitivity

Pulsatilla 6X HPUS - for causeless crying, sleeplessness from travel

Sulphur 6X HPUS - for irritability, peevishness

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
One thing I forgot to mention was that the medicine states for ages 2 and older. But a lot of people (on the reviews I've read) say that if the baby is not yet 2, then to divide the dosage in half and give it to them. Any advice?

My professional advice would be not use combinations like this. They are not homoeopathic firstly. Homoeopathy is based on a prescription being made on the basis of the symptoms the individual patient presents. As there are over 5000 medicines, there is very little chance the correct medicine just happens to be in this mix.

Secondly, the use of potentized medicines (used in homoeopathy) is NOT side effect free. Let me repeat that very clearly - potentized medicines can produce many unwanted effects. You will find many posts on this forum from people who are experiencing side effects from using potentized medicines inappropriately (without guidance or without knowledge).

They are free from toxic side effects, this is true, although 6x is actually fairly crude and there might be some of the substance still found in the medicines.

Only one of those medicines will be correct, if any of them are (slim chance). The incorrect ones can each produce their own set of side effects, although typically one acts more strongly than the others.

The claim of no side effects is a marketing ploy, by companies who want your money, and are willing to use homoeopathy's reputation to sell a product that breaks most of our rules.
