Homeopathy
Homeopathic medicines are a special area of alternative medicine. It originated more than 200 years ago and over these decades has remained a controversial area of human treatment.
Such drugs cause a lot of controversy, because the principle of homeopathy - to treat like with like - often causes serious criticism. Treatment is delayed and a favorable outcome becomes impossible. This effect is especially often manifested in the treatment of serious diseases - oncology, cardiovascular diseases.
Modern medicine requires careful testing of all aspects of the use of a substance so that its effectiveness is proven. But homeopathy operates on very controversial components for an hour in order to believe in their effectiveness. Although many substances, especially of plant origin, have many years of scientifically proven experience. They are successfully used as additional or complex components of the treatment of certain health problems.
For example, herbal-based sedatives and sedatives can be bought at any pharmacy; they have undergone clinical trials and have proven effectiveness. It is with these components that the drug “Calm” (tablets) was created, reviews of which vary widely - from laudatory to extremely negative.

Types of sedatives for children
Hysterical attacks and psychological stress are relieved not only by medication. In addition to sedative medications, which can be purchased at pharmacies, pediatricians recommend the following methods:
- herbal medicine, including decoctions and teas of medicinal herbs;
- folk remedies;
- homeopathy;
- pedagogical measures of influence on the child.
The reason for the occurrence of nervous excitement lies in the vulnerable and sensitive child’s psyche. The baby’s nervous system, which is not yet fully formed, is not able to effectively regulate the body’s mood swings.
ethnoscience
Sedatives, herbal teas and homeopathic medicines are not the only methods of combating children's irritability. An excellent solution is sedative herbs, which have a more gentle effect on the body and have almost no contraindications. Most herbs can be given to babies even up to one year old
- Valerian. Products based on medicinal valerian relieve nervous excitement and relieve spasms thanks to the unique combination of alkaloids and essential oils in the composition. The advantage of this plant is its versatility - doctors recommend valerian even for infants to normalize sleep and for adolescents with increased nervous excitement.
- Motherwort. As part of herbal mixtures, this herbal remedy gently soothes the young nervous system. To prepare, take equal parts of valerian, motherwort, fennel and thyme, brew 2 tablespoons of the mixture and consume chilled.
- Melissa. Decoctions based on this herb, together with linden and peppermint, relieve physical stress and relax the child’s body. Herbal teas based on linden and mint / lemon balm, thyme and valerian are effective. Both decoctions are brewed in half a liter of water, drunk as needed or take a bath with its addition.
- Water procedures in a warm, aromatic bath restore the child’s strength and prepare him for sleep. Valerian tincture and motherwort, about forty drops, are added to water for newborns. For older children, a pine bath is suitable, which relaxes the baby and relieves nasal congestion.
- Oatmeal decoction is an unusual but effective method of relieving stress. Unpeeled oats, well washed and dried, are poured with boiling water in a ratio of 200 mg per 1 liter. The broth is brought to a boil, infused for half an hour, and filtered. The finished drink is drunk before meals, honey or sugar is added to taste.
Types of sedatives for children
All sedative drugs can be divided into several groups:
- medications;
- herbal preparations;
- homeopathic remedies.
Drugs from the first group should only be prescribed by a doctor. Such drugs are often used for various organic diseases of the central nervous system and the consequences of perinatal brain damage. Many of these sedatives have serious side effects. By using such drugs on the recommendation of a neighbor or young mothers from forums, parents risk serious health problems for their child.
Follow your doctor's instructions strictly and do not exceed the dosage of the recommended drug!
Herbal remedies are herbal mixtures or medicines based on natural ingredients. Such sedatives are very popular among parents because they have a significantly smaller list of side effects. Many herbal remedies can be brewed as a tea and given to your child to drink several times a day.
There is more debate about the benefits of homeopathic medicines. Official medicine does not recognize these drugs, claiming that their effect is no different from the placebo effect. Homeopathic medicines contain such small amounts of active ingredients that the advisability of their use remains a big question. Despite this, many parents prefer homeopathy, arguing that these remedies cope better than many others with increased excitability in the child.
