Is Your Child 'On The Spectrum?' How Can Homeopathy Help?

According to the CDC, autism affects an estimated 1 in 54 children in the United States today. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. There is often nothing about how people with ASD look that sets them apart from other people, but people with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are different from most other people. The learning, thinking, and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. We know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, most influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Because autism is a spectrum disorder, each person with autism has a distinct set of strengths and challenges. Signs of autism usually appear by age 2 or 3. Research shows that early intervention leads to positive outcomes later in life for people with autism.

How Can Homeopathy Help?

Homeopathy is one of the most popular holistic systems of medicine. The selection of homeopathic remedy for Autism is based upon the theory of individualization and symptoms similarity by using holistic approach. This is the only way through which a state of complete health can be regained by removing all the sign and symptoms from which the patient is suffering. The aim of homeopathy is to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility.

Let’s take a look at some of the homeopathic remedies used to help a child overcome developmental delays. Attention disorders reflect imbalances in the body. For example, if a child cannot sit still for long enough to finish a task, the homeopathic practitioner will use a homeopathic medicine that will calm the mind and bring the child’s motor activity under control. Another example is a child that suffers from disruptive sleep. This can be an imbalance that does not allow the child to sleep at night or one whose sleep is disturbed. A homeopathic doctor will choose a medicine to help the child sleep, which will help improve the child’s neurological development.
