CHILDHOOD IMMUNITY

Did you know that 2/3^rd of children in India fall ill at-least once in 3 months? Is your child one of them? Why is it that your child gets frequent fever, while his/her classmate barely misses school due to an illness?

It is the weakened immunity of your child that makes all the difference. Immune system is our body’s defense against harmful organisms and substances that cause sickness. Children that have high immunity are less prone to infections, while those with weaker immunity fall sick more often.

What causes weak immunity in children?

Changing lifestyles, increased junk food consumption, lack of exercise or outdoor activities and sports are some of the things that are affecting health of children adversely. Some of the causes of weak immunity in children are:

• They may be born with a weak immune system.
• There might have been a medical history of a certain disease that could have possibly weakened your child’s immune system. This is called acquired immune deficiency.
• Some children have an immune system that is too active.
• In some cases, children might have an immune system that turns against their own body. Conditions called autoimmune disorders occur due to this reason.

• Homeopathy – A natural immunity booster for kids, Homeopathic medicine for immunity
• The health problems in children need to be addressed at the root level and that too safely. This is where homeopathy scores better than any other system of medicine. Homeopathic medicines aim at boosting immunity in children without causing any side-effects. They give a chance to a child’s body to develop own antibodies, leading to less bouts of disease attack. Homeopathy is therefore one of the most effective ways of treating child health issues.

• Should improve immunity
