For most this treatment approach would make sense, correct? Well it is WRONG!

This is what sets apart Western Medicine and Traditional Medicine. I see this time and time again in my clinic. Take for example there are 5 children, all with eczema, all treated by a Dermatologist and given a steroid cream as the only option available to help clear their skin.

Or the patient is brought to see a Naturopath where the treatment given is based on each individual's symptom picture and in-depth case taking to find out WHY the child has the eczema to begin with. Did the mother deliver naturally or via c-section? was the baby given any medications at birth that could have compromised gut integrity? was the child breast or formula fed? does the child consume dairy? or eat lots of tomatoes, strawberries and/or oranges in their diet that can exacerbate eczema flare-ups?

ALL of these things are important. They all provide the answers that a Naturopath needs in order to treat the patient as an individual and therefore prescribe accordingly. I would treat all 5 children with eczema with different skin herbs, different diet changes, different supplements and/or different individualised skin ointments. This approach to treatment ensures that the CAUSE of the condition is discovered, an individualised prescription is given and REAL and long-term healing can take place.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ National Health Survey indicates that almost one quarter (24.9%) of children aged 5-17 years are overweight or obese. The amount of sugar being consumed by children is at an all time high. Food, sugary drinks, processed and packaged food as well as fast food all contain alarmingly high levels of sugar. Often people don’t realise that fast food that is full of fat is also full of sugar too! Being an overweight child will more likely lead to being an overweight adult and increase the risk for long term health issues and chronic disease. If you have a child who is struggling with weight please go to my website and book in for a home visit where I come to your house and go through your pantry and fridge and offer education and support about foods that kids should be avoiding if weight is an issue.
