To determine the best dose and potency, it is best to get a homeopathic guidebook such as the one listed above as the original source of this information. The most popular homeopathic guidebook is“Everybody’s Guide to Homeopathic Medicines” but we sell this and many others here. We also sell some very practical and highly discounted home homeopathic medicine kits! Click here to see the choices for medicine kits, or feel free to CALL us to order them (or ask questions).
To purchase INDIVIDUAL remedies, you will need to call us at 510-649-0294 or you can order them HERE. We represent several leading American, British, and European homeopathic pharmacies. Please let us know if you prefer your remedies from Hahnemann Labs, Helios, Boiron, or Standard. Please let us know which potency or size of bottle you want (we generally recommend 6C or 30C for those people who are relatively new to homeopathy)…and you’ll need to let us know whether you want pills/pellets or a “liquid dilution” (please know that only select homeopathic pharmacies sell liquid dilutions). We can help you make some of these determinations on the phone, though we cannot provide advice on which remedy to get, unless you wish to pay for a short or long consultation with our owner, Dana Ullman, MPH, CCH. We will do all we can to serve you.
The information provided here is not only applicable to children but to most people with diarrhea.

Children with German measles should stay at home until they are well, both for their own health and because of the serious conse quences of infecting pregnant women with this virus.
Aconitum: This remedy is for sudden onset of a rash with a fever. The children are usually very thirsty. Aconitum is only appropriate during the initial stages of this illness.
Belladonna: When children experience a sudden onset of high fever with a flushed face and reddened lips, this remedy is the first to consider. These children also tend to have a hot head and cold extremities. Their skin is usually so hot that it radiates heat (you can feel it by placing your hand a couple of inches away from the skin). This fever is a dry heat, without perspiration. These children tend to have a strong and bounding pulse. At night the temperature gets highest, causing the child to be agitated, sometimes delirious, perhaps leading them to see hallucinations when their eyes are closed.
Pulsatilla: These children experience chill with their fever. They feel worse in warm rooms and by warmth. They desire open air but need to be properly covered. They are thirstless and have a flushed red face.
