Children's remedies

Children have problems too! Many medicines for children contain additives, artificial color and preservatives. Some are addictive and others may cause side effects which end up being worse than the condition that they are supposed to treat.

Even some of the more natural, herbal medicines should not be given to children under the age of 12, unless supervised by a health care practitioner! Parents are understandably concerned and may feel confused about what they can and cannot give their children.

As a psychologist and as a parent, I have seen a need for safe, effective and healthy natural remedies specially formulated for children's health. Together with Native Remedies, I have spent a lot of time researching and formulating a range of natural remedies especially for young children.

All remedies are herbal or homeopathic and carefully chosen for maximum effect and maximum safety, to heal and solve your child's problem - naturally. While herbal remedies help to heal and promote health, homeopathic remedies work by strengthening the child's own body to heal itself.

The remedies are non-addictive and presented in child-safe doses. No artificial colors or preservatives are used and manufacturing is in accordance with the highest pharmaceutical standards. - Michele Carelse, Clinical Psychologist

What causes sleep problems in children?

We all struggle to sleep sometimes and children are no exception. Sometimes sleep problems become chronic and a pattern of insomnia sets in. This can cause much frustration for children and their parents and can even result in relationship difficulties if the problem is not addressed. If you find yourself struggling to put your child to sleep night after night, it is important that you do something about it.

Here are some of the main causes of insomnia in children and babies:

• Teething
• Lack of routine and bedtime ritual
• Childhood depression, anxiety or trauma
• Family problems
• Intestinal worms
• Diet high in sugar and stimulants like coffee and tea

What is Serenite Jr. and how can it help?

Serenite Jr. is a safe and effective herbal remedy specially formulated by our clinical psychologist to calm and relax young children and induce a state of drowsiness.

Serenite Jr. can safely be used by all children and babies over the age of 6 months and is gentle and non-addictive and will not drug your child. Together with consistent discipline, a regular routine and night time ritual and a loving home environment, Serenite Jr. can help to break poor and irregular sleep patterns and restore peace to your home.

As a parent, you will know that sleep remedies specially formulated for children are few and far between. In desperation many parents resort to using pain killers, cough medicines, antihistamines and other over the counter medicines. This is very bad for children and can seriously affect their health. These medicines have not been designed to use as sleep aids for children and regular use can result in addiction, nightmares and chronic insomnia.

Doctors sometimes prescribe scheduled drugs for children to help them sleep. Once again, these drugs can result in addiction and do not solve the problem in the long term. Side effects are common and children are often very drowsy in the morning.

Serenite Jr. is different because it is formulated especially for children and uses herbs and homeopathic remedies in a natural formula which is safe and effective.

What are the ingredients in Serenite Jr?

Serenite Jr. contains the following effective and child-safe natural ingredients:

Matricaria recutita (Chamomilla) - In Beatrix Potter's wonderful childhood tales, Peter Rabbit's mother used chamomile to put her little bunnies to sleep - and for very good reason! Chamomile has long been known as the world's most soothing plant and has been used by mothers of many generations to safely relax their young children and induce a state of peaceful sleepiness. Not only does it promote drowsiness, but it also calms digestive upsets and colic, soothes teething toddlers and relaxes anxious children.

Passiflora incarnata - Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of this herb in the treatment of anxiety and insomnia and it is well known and respected as a mild sedative and tranquilizer in naturopathic circles. Passiflora is also useful in treating colic and its high safety profile makes it a gentle, yet very effective choice for treating the symptoms of insomnia is babies and young children.

Coffea C30 - Homeopathy works on the principle of 'like treats like' and homeopathically formulated Coffea is an excellent remedy to calm the overexcited and irritable person. Children who become very sensitive, restless and 'unreasonable' at bedtime will benefit from this proven homeopathic remedy.

Cina C30 - Also homeopathically prepared, Cina works well for children who are irritable, 'touchy' and tend to have temper tantrums at bedtime. It helps calm symptoms such as twitching and tossing and turning during sleep. Cina is also beneficial for children who grind their teeth and for children with intestinal worms.

How do I use Serenite Jr?

Serenite Jr. comes in convenient drop form, making it easy to adjust the dosage for children of different ages.

Simply dilute the drops in about 1/4 cup (less for the younger child) of water, juice or warm milk about 15 minutes before bedtime.

Dosage:

6 months - 12 years: 1 or 2 drops per age year of the child about 15 minutes before bed. Do not exceed 15 drops.

For children with stubborn sleep problems, it is better to give the lower dose and then repeat if necessary within 30-45 minutes. Should the child wake up more than 3 hours later, dosage may be repeated again.

Serenite Jr. is concentrated and specially formulated for rapid absorption into the system. Drowsiness usually results within 5 - 10 minutes.
