Delayed speech. Sensory sensitivities. Restricted eating. Severe childhood eczema.
When Julie first came to see me at three years old, her mum was concerned about her skin. But her history revealed a much broader picture.
Julie had not yet spoken a word. She experienced recurrent ear infections, had undergone repeated attempts at fitting grommets, and had persistent nasal congestion. Her feet were so sensitive that she would not let her mum touch them. She also favoured bland, pale-coloured foods and ground her teeth so loudly that it disturbed her mum's sleep.
These details mattered because I wanted to understand Julie as a whole child, rather than viewing her eczema in isolation.
Across four consultations, her mum reported encouraging changes in her skin, foot sensitivity, communication, eating and behaviour. Her ENT consultant also found no further fluid build-up in her ears.
For parents navigating delayed speech, developmental differences or sensory sensitivities, the everyday details can be especially familiar.
Every child has their own story, and understanding that individual picture is central to my approach at Red Soil Homeopathy.
Next, I'll be exploring the three remedies that featured in Julie's homeopathic journey.
