As a homeopath for years working with children..

I don’t just look at them as bodies that need fixing.
 I see nervous systems that are learning how to feel safe. I see emotions that are still finding words. I see little humans growing into who they’re meant to be.

Homeopathy supports children in a way that honours who they are, not who we want them to be. It works gently, alongside their growth — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

So when I think about the future, I don’t just ask, “What do I want my child to do?” I ask, “How do I want them to feel in their body and in the world?”

Calm. Confident. Connected to themselves.

Holidays can feel big for sensitive children.. Busier rooms, louder voices, broken routines, and lots of emotional energy all at once.

In my clinic, I often see beautifully sensitive kids become overwhelmed during the holidays..showing up as emotional meltdowns, anxiety, or even skin flare-ups. This is why I often think of the homeopathic remedy Vernix at this time of year.

Inspired by the protective layer babies had in the womb, Vernix supports gentle boundaries, helping sensitive children feel more contained, settled, and less affected by everything happening around them.

If your child seems to feel everything, Vernix can be a quiet but powerful support through the holiday season.

Motherhood isn’t meant to feel like you’re constantly on edge..
 But somewhere along the way, urgency became normal.. rushing mornings, tight chests, short fuses, and that quiet feeling of never fully settling.

Your nervous system sets the tone for your home. 
When you’re regulated, your child feels it.
When you’re overwhelmed, they absorb that too..
not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because our bodies are wired to mirror each other.

Homeopathy meets motherhood so beautifully.
 It doesn’t force calm or suppress symptoms.
It supports the nervous system to remember how to regulate, gently and at its own pace — just like nature intended.

If you’ve been telling yourself, “This is just how it is now”… pause.
 Feeling constantly wired, reactive, or exhausted isn’t a personal failure, it’s a sign your system is asking for support.
 You don’t have to wait until burnout makes the decision for you.

How does your nervous system feel most days?

This case continues to show us what we see so often in clinic:
When the gut and nervous system are out of balance, behaviour becomes the first language kids use to tell us something is wrong.

Behaviour is communication. And once the system is supported, children feel lighter, safer, and more balanced..

What type of cases would you love us to talk about next? Comment below, our homeopaths might have something helpful to share about what worked.

Need help with dosing? START HERE ⬇️

Most parents are surprised by how much the timing and frequency can change the outcome, so here’s a simple, clear guide you can follow anytime:

👉🏻For intense symptoms - give 2 pillules once every 1 hour for up to 4 doses (hours) IF NO CHANGE in symptoms then you may need to consider another remedy.

👉🏻For moderate symptoms - give 2 pillules every 2-3 hours for 24 hours. If no change then consider another remedy

👉🏻For mild symptoms - give 2 pillules 3 times per day.
Every person — and every situation — responds differently, which is why personalised guidance makes such a big difference.

If you want to feel confident choosing, dosing, and adjusting remedies the right way, you can:

Yes, we all study, analyse, repertorise, compare, and cross-reference. But there are times in practice when something deeper whispers the answer… and that whisper is just as important as the textbooks we rely on.

Liz shared how intuition has slowly woven itself into her prescribing process— not as a replacement for sound case-taking… but as a way of listening differently to the patient in front of her. 
Most homeopaths won’t admit it, but so much of our growth comes from those subtle moments of knowing— the kind you can’t quite teach, but you absolutely feel.
 And if you’ve been trusting your own intuitive hits lately, let this be your reminder: we’re with you. Intuition is part of our toolkit too.

If you feel aligned with how Liz blends intuition with classical practice, you can book a consult with her in our team.

Let’s talk about something we don’t talk about enough:
Dads who look strong on the outside but are crumbling just a little bit inside..

Liz shared a case about a dad who felt he had to be the dominant one… the leader… the one who never wavers.
 But beneath the surface? Tension, pressure, overwhelm.. all bottled up. This is exactly the emotional landscape where Kali carb shines. 
It supports parents (especially dads) who feel the need to control everything just to stay upright. It softens the ego, the rigidity, the “I must be the rock” mindset, giving space for tenderness, connection, and understanding to return.

If this sounds familiar in your home, Kali carb is available in our shop. And if you want more remedies that support health and emotional dynamics within families, our 25% OFF SALE on remedy kits ends at midnight tonight!

This is the quiet power of homeopathy. Supporting the whole family.. even the ones who rarely ask for help.

Travelling with kids is magical… but unpredictable… And if you’ve ever had symptoms show up exactly when everything is closed, you’re far from home, or you’re finally relaxing, you know how quickly a holiday can shift.

That’s why I created the 16-Remedy Travel Kit..

It’s a compact, refillable, mum-friendly first-aid kit designed for the exact situations families experience on holiday: sudden fevers, food poisoning, tummy upsets, coughs, sprains, bites, infections, or those “why now?” moments every parent knows too well.

Inside this kit, you’ll find the remedies I personally never travel without:

🌿 Aconite 200C
🌿 Arnica 200C
🌿 Arsenicum album 200C
🌿 Belladonna 200C
🌿 Cina 200C
🌿 Drosera 200C
🌿 Ferrum phos 200C
🌿 Gelsemium 200C
🌿 Ledum 30C
🌿 Nux vomica 200C
🌿 Narayani War
🌿 Phosphorous 200C
🌿 Rhus tox 200C
🌿 Spongia 200C
🌿 Hepar Sulph 200C
🌿 Immune Protect

And yes..you can easily top up the remedies when you run out. Just support, right when you need it, anywhere in the world.

And now it’s 25% OFF! Perfect for gifts, travel, family use, new mums, and natural-living households. 
⏰ Sale ends December 1st at midnight.. no extensions.

 When you buy one, you’re not just purchasing remedies.. you’re buying peace of mind.

Because even if one plan fails, my mission remains, and I’ll simply find another way to serve..

Years of working with neurodiverse children, children with ASD, ADHD, PANS/PANDAS, regression, and children in crisis have taught me one thing: progress might look different for every child, but healing is always possible.. When we trust the body… when we trust the vital force… when we find the right remedy at the right time… things begin to move.

If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed, our team at The Family Apothecary is here to walk with you, step by step, exactly at your child’s pace.
