The ABC Homeopathy Forum

three year old boy and sleep.

Our three and a half year old keeps waking up at 3 am crying for us. He now wants to sleep with hall light on. He has become more clingy. He won't go to sleep with out me laying with him and holding him. He has no other health issues other than he is tired and cranky and not sleeping well. He has recently dropped his nap most days. If he does nap, he won't fall asleep until late. If he doesn't nap, he is cranky all late afternoon and evening.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
A dose of Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken just before bed can help him.

The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

Report his progress on the morning after his first dose.

Thank you so much! He slept until 6. I went in this morning for a snuggle and he went back to sleep until 7. I didn't expect it to work so fast!

Thank you for confirming that my Joepathy has worked yet again.

I was hoping to have your report the day after and when there was none for 3 days I concluded that as usual with patients who only post when they require assistance, you too were not going to confirm that my therapy had worked.

I hope that my chief detractor in Australia will shadow this post as he usually does and accept the simple fact that it is not only by classical homeopathy alone that a patient can be healed. Joepathy has proved again and again that it can also do so far more positively than classical formulated remedies.

You do not need to give him Arnica on a nightly basis as it is best in the case of a 3 year old not to give remedies even in the Wet dose method for any extended period. I believe that when the problem period has passed in a few days that he will not want the added assistance from Arnica to fall asleep.

Since you are offering free advice and you are an expert, they very least I can do is thank you. I am so amazed that you offer this service. Most doctors would say his behavior was normal. The world of homeopathy is unbelievable. Thank you Again!

Thank you for your appreciation of my Joepathy which many have condemned for various reasons including jealousy that my therapy cures while their classically formulated therapy invariably fails.

May I suggest that you and your husband too take this remedy nightly and observe how it helps you to turn a new page in your lives?

I have taken it for the last 16 years and have no doubt that at my advanced age of 82, I owe my state of wellness to it.

Interesting. Is it suitable for a 5 month old?
 
jazmine7 last decade
May I inquire the reason why you wish to give it to your 5 month old baby?

I was half-kidding. She has never slept through the night. I exclusively breast feed her. There are two diffferent camps here in the USA: breastfeed on demand or at some point let them cry it out. I can't let her cry.
But I am exhausted. Post partum I am a mess. My scalp psriosis comes and goes. My hair falls out causing bald patches. I feel like my life is 24 7 with no rest or break. Sorry, I don't mean to complain. I feel like if I could get some sleep maybe my body would not feel like it is falling a part. I was doing better, but then my son became ill and I was up all night for a few days.

What happened with your son?

He has a fever. There was a virus going around school.He did not get it as badly as the others. But his fever was high, so I kept checking him> He slept through most of it.

It occurs to me that the Arnica you are taking daily yourself will be transferred through your breast milk to baby. This will help him to sleep better as at 5 months they spend more time asleep than otherwise.

I have brought up 3 sons the first of whom arrived after 10 years of anxious waiting 42 years ago. I remember how anxious we both were with our first born. We would often take turns to sleep just to be sure that Rohan who was sleeping between us was still breathing !

Today my youngest has a baby girl just 1 year old and she was never left to cry when hungry. She was full term but was a Cesarian delivery. She is just glorious !

Sorry to hear that your son is unwell. It is very likely that he has caught a virus flu but do let us know if we can help him.

I noticed that David too is interested in his state of health which is unusual.

Have just read your post where you have confirmed that he was down with a Flu as presumed by me.

I also noticed that you are also at the end of your tether:
'But I am exhausted. Post partum I am a mess. My scalp psriosis comes and goes. My hair falls out causing bald patches. I feel like my life is 24 7 with no rest or break. Sorry, I don't mean to complain. I feel like if I could get some sleep maybe my body would not feel like it is falling a part. I was doing better, but then my son became ill and I was up all night for a few days.'

The good news is that the Arnica 30 Wet dose should help you to recover sooner than otherwise.

I can prescribe a remedy for your nerves but would prefer not to do so as you are breast feeding him.


If Hair Loss is a problem as I can read, you can use my default therapy which I shall copy below:

Many chronic cases of Hair Loss have responded to my therapy copied below.

The loss of hair is usually arrested in 2 weeks and in 2 months the new growth of hair is seen between the existing hair roots. Inspection for the new hair must be done in a darkened room with a flashlight by someone who has good eyesight.

The remedies are as noted below:

Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily.

Arnica Q or Mother Tincture to be mixed with Olive Oil to be massaged in a 20% emulsion daily into the hair roots. the 20% emulsion is made using 20 parts Arncia Q mixed into 80 parts Olive oil. The emulsion must be shaken hard to emulsify with the Olive oil immediately before application daily into the roots of the hair daily after a shower.

Ferr Phos 6x 3 tablets taken twice daily.
Cod liver oil capsules dose 1-2 daily.
Exercise is essential to sweat it out.
Drink at least 3 liters of liquids preferably water daily.
No harsh shampoos.

The Wet dose is made up as follows:

Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack also known as Liquid Dilution.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles.
This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is sipped as directed.

Report progress in a month or earlier.
