Childrens health issues are a detriment not only to your childs growth and development, but can also put parents and carers under a lot of pressure. When your child is under Naturopathic care, the aim of the Naturopath is to ascertain and address the root of the issue and offer tailored and efficacious treatment for your child or family.
Introducing Your Child To Solids
One of Belinda's passions is boosting your child's immune system, which assist them with the avoidance or overcoming of allergies and intolerances. Belinda is able to discuss the method of introducing your child to solids and the most appropriate foods in an effort to avert potential allergies.
Consultation and treatment
Your child's initial consultation will comprise a case history and assessment of diet. Belinda will provide information to both you and your child so that you have an understanding of their presenting condition, as well as talking you through the reasons for each aspect of the treatment. Depending on your child's condition, we may undertake tests for allergies, live blood screening, hair mineral analysis and stool or blood testing.
The kinds of treatments that may be recommended include dietary and nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, homeopathics and flower essences, as well as advice about diet and lifestyle modifications. Making changes to a childs diet and lifestyle can sometimes be challenging, but Belinda is here to help you and your child successfully make gradual changes that have the potential to bring about significant improvement in your child's health.
