“For school children, homeopathic treatment is broadly the same as for adults”, specifies Dr Gwenaël Greppo, homeopathic general practitioner. “But before 3 years old, a consultation is really preferable. Indeed, all the little ones wake up at night, but some go back to sleep very well. If the others are not able, it is often for physical, psychological reasons. or behavioral. Detecting them will help as much as the granules. “
There are some great homeopathic classics at the bedside of juniors:
-
Gelsemium or Ignatia for the most anxious, with Argentum nitricum for the older ones.
Nux vomica, for restless children, but also willful, even a little authoritarian.
Hyocemus niger, for emotional children, agitated during the day, who talk and cry in their sleep and often have nightmares in the second part of the night.
There are 3 additional drugs specific to children’s insomnia:
- Stramonium, for the little emotional ones, who are afraid of the dark and have nightmares rather before midnight.
- Kallium bromatum, for children who fiddle with everything, talk a lot at night, or even are sleepwalking.
- Chamomilla, if the child falls asleep as soon as he is rocked, in the car, in his arms or in a stroller, but screams as soon as he is put in his bed.
The dosage is the same at any age: 5 granules in 15 CH. To try for 10 to 15 days. Consult if symptoms persist.
