Naturopathic Medicine and Children's Health on Global

A few weeks ago Global TV came into the clinic again to shoot another story for their health segment.

This time it wasn't hangover cures and natural remedies it was alternative medicine and children's health. The segment is airing tomorrow (Wednesday) on Global at 6 pm. I think the health segment is on around 6:15.

We chatted about what kinds of things naturopathic medicine can do with kids. It was great because over the last couple of years I've noticed a huge increase in parents bringing in their kids for alternative options whether it's for the eczema, ear infections, asthma or their colds and flus. Kids are so vital; they respond so well to simple, natural things. The solution may not always be as quick as a conventional route but at least we're working with the body to stimulate healing instead of just blocking processes and in the long run making the child healthier and stronger. Sometimes it's a quick homeopathic remedy for a fever or rash, sometimes it's a herbal infusion for diarrhea or eczema, or sometimes it's a probiotic and fish oil!

A quick thank you to Leona and Joshua who helped out with the story!
