Good news of the day: 9-year-old boy on the spectrum, under care for 1.5 years who used to engage in throwing things and messing around with all kinds of soaps and lotions, which seemed to be resistant to ALL of the remedies I tried has finally stopped doing this after Bufo 1M! He would throw all kinds of things, down the stairs, out the window, parents were not happy. Mom figured out the Bufo herself and no more throwing!

Small steps but in the right direction!

Now here is some very interesting story of the day: A 5-year-old girl with a long-standing pattern of challenging behavior and some pretty intense sensory sensitivities—especially around clothing. Things had taken a concerning turn with sudden aggression and even growling, which really worried her parents.

Enter Lyssinum (my regular readers won’t be surprised 😉), and the shift was almost immediate.

"Her whole energy lightened. Her sensory issues eased up noticeably, and she became more patient and gentle—especially with her younger sister. After just the first dose, she said something so tender: that she wanted to still be a baby, to start over, and didn’t want to have her 6th birthday yet.

Then came a wave of deep, thoughtful questions about life, God, and the afterlife. She even said she was receiving messages from God and started sharing little pearls of wisdom—honestly, way beyond her years."

Moments like these are why I love what I do. 💛

Great news of the day: 7-year-old girl on the spectrum, under care for 1.5 years, is starting to make good cognitive progress! She is starting to repeat words, imitate her parents, including waving bye-bye, is using her communication book better and can create three-word requests and has started to understand how to solve simple problems. For example, she wanted the fan turned on and took the cord to look for an outlet, understanding it needed to be plugged in. One day some of her toys were under the bed and she got a stick and gave it to her mom to retrieve the toys with. The first few months were tough, but parents and I are very happy with her progress now :)

Great news of the day: Little girl on the spectrum is finally having more regular bowel movements after taking Poly-steroids! Way over one year of chasing remedies for constipation, which always made her worse. Finally, mom and I spoke about steroids exposure, and it turns out mom needed some steroids while pregnant which she had forgotten about. Daughter also had steroid creams on and off for eczema. In any case, she has had plenty of bowel movements now, usually the day after taking the remedy. She seems to be doing better overall with it as well. Definitely a good success, hoping it will continue! Anyone here have experience with Poly-steroids?

Good news of the day: 8-year-old girl had trouble remembering her math on and off. Overall she was doing much worse this year than last year. Mom and I felt she was not in her body properly, sometimes zoning in, sometimes out. So I chose Hydrogenium 30C and mom wrote: "I gave her the Hydrogenium this morning and later that day sat down with her to do a page of math. Unbelievable the difference!! She worked twice as fast and rememberd so many more of her math facts. She was so focused! It was exciting!!! I'm feeling much more confident about the coming school year now. Hooray!!! So grateful!
Hydrogenium is a fascinating remedy made from Hydrogen. It can help to bring a soul more into the body and into the present. I have used it several times with good success in intelligent children who were unstable in their academic performance, sometimes being able to remember facts and figures and then totally losing them again while being somewhat spacey :)

Good little post on Belladonna, a remedy I use almost daily in my practice.

Good little post on Belladonna, a remedy I use almost daily in my practice.

From high fever to ADHD.
Belladonna, also known as Deadly Nightshade one of nature’s most toxic plants.
You’ve probably heard of it before.

In homeopathy it has long been known for its healing potential.
In the early 1800s, Samuel Hahnemann recognised Belladonna as a key remedy for sudden, intense fevers marked by heat, redness, and hypersensitivity.

During scarlet fever outbreaks, he used it therapeutically and observed that it could reduce symptom severity and even help prevent infection. A striking early application of the homeopathic principle “like cures like.”

Today Belladonna remains a classic remedy for acute febrile states, continuing a clinical legacy that began more than two centuries ago.
But Belladonna’s relevance doesn’t end with fever.

It’s also sometimes used to support children with ADHD, especially when symptoms include sensory overload and emotional dysregulation.
For many of these children, the world is simply too much.
Sounds are louder, lights are brighter, and emotional reactions harder to control.
When the senses are overwhelmed, the mind follows, making it even more difficult to manage impulsivity, concentration and anger.
In such cases, we’re not just seeing inattention or hyperactivity.
We’re seeing a nervous system in overdrive, and this is where Belladonna may offer support.

Key traits where Belladonna may be indicated:
Repeated rage episodes, where the child becomes destructive, bites or hits.
Fear of darkness, monsters, or water.
Heightened sensitivity to light, sound, smell, and touch
Chronic restlessness and emotional hypersensitivity
Sleep disturbances, especially nightmares with anxiety or fear at night

Belladonna is not prescribed at random, it is chosen when the individual’s emotional, sensory, physical and behavioral profile matches the remedy’s symptoms and characteristics.
And when the match is right, we often see a remarkable shift to greater inner calm, improved sleep and fewer explosive reactions. Belladonna remains a powerful example of how a homeopathic remedy can gently stimulate deep transformation even in the most sensitive children.

Belladonna’s evolving role in homeopathy reminds us how ancient remedies can continue to meet modern needs.
From high fevers in Hahnemann’s time to supporting sensitive children today. Homeopathy offers something timeless.
A gentle therapeutic response to deeply individual needs.

Our Story

Anke Zimmermann, BSc, FCAH, is a classical and modern homeopath who is passionate about helping families with challenging children. Anke offers homeopathic care for children on the autism spectrum and with other neurodevelopmental conditions, sensory processing disorders, ADD/ADHD, behavioural and learning disorders, anxiety, aggression, OCD, epilepsy, tics, Tourette's syndrome and similar. Children with skin conditions, asthma, ear infections, allergies, digestive problems and other common childhood ailments are also very welcome. Please note, homeopathic remedies treat the person, not the condition, there are no specific remedies for conditions. This is very different from conventional medicine, which prescribes drug for conditions rather than for the individual. Remedies work by stimulating the body’s innate healing mechanisms.

Anke is also trained in homeoprophylaxis, the use of homeopathic remedies to educate the immune system. Homeoprophylaxis can be useful for both children and adults. She has been practicing since 1991 and has widely lectured and written about many topics in the natural health field. Her office is located in Sooke, BC, Canada.
