Calcium deficiency shows itself in various ways and can still be found quite frequently among small children. It prevents them from developing properly and makes them prone to catching frequent colds. If the mother wants an inexpensive, natural and good cal­cium preparation, she can make one up herself by doing the follow­ing. Pick some young fresh nettles, which can be found in most places, maybe right by the house or in the garden. Next, take some egg shells, which are on hand in practically every kitchen. People who live by the sea might like to use oyster shells instead. Crush the shells together with the fresh nettles and leave to dry in the air. Once pulverised, a light green powder will result. The child should take half a teaspoon of this 2-3 times daily. After a few months the teeth will improve and, in time, will become noticeably stronger. The bones will benefit also, and the susceptibility to colds and catarrh will diminish. If preparing this powder is too much of a bother, simply use Urticalcin, a ready-made calcium product containing stinging nettles.

If, in addition, the child has a deficiency of vitamin D, then you have the basic cause of rickets. Although serious cases of rickets, resulting in underdeveloped or deformed bones, are now extremely rare, less severe forms of rickets are still seen even today. It may seem strange, but children suffering from this mild form of rickets are usually very lively, react to everything quickly and their facial expression is almost too intelligent for their age. They tend to be precocious and always remind me of an apple that has grown ripe too soon. On closer examination the apple proves to be worm-eaten, and that is actually why it has ripened prematurely.

Such children who lack both calcium and vitamin D need help and can be helped. Homoeopathic or biochemical calcium tritu­rations are excellent for this purpose, for example Calcarea phos. 6x, Calcarea fluor. 12x (for the teeth) and Silica 12x. The calcium preparation Urticalcin contains several calcium salts in various potencies, as triturations, as well as Urtica (as a vitamin D carrier), and is therefore also an efficacious remedy. Orange juice and cod-liver oil are rich in vitamin D and are highly recommended. Fur­thermore, carrot juice or the concentrate Biocarottin, which is made from fresh carrot juice, is another natural remedy for over­coming calcium deficiency.

Fennel (or anise if no fennel is available) belongs to the most common group of household remedies. Fennel, anise, caraway and dill are the so-called ‘warming teas’. Whenever there is anything wrong with your baby’s digestion, a weak fennel infusion will be of great benefit and will help the mother to remedy a temporary indisposition.

Yarrow, given as a very weak infusion, is good for diarrhoea and loss of appetite. If this fails to stop the discharge, add a small pinch of tormentil and give teaspoonfuls of this weak infusion throughout the day.

Goldenrod is a reliable remedy when the kidneys are out of order. The fresh plant extract from this herb, either as Solidago or as an ingredient in Nephrosolid, is one of the best and most effective medicines for the kidneys and the bladder. If you cannot obtain any goldenrod, a weak rose hip or horsetail infusion can be used instead.

Whey concentrate {Molkosan) is a good antiseptic for minor injuries. This is a natural lactic acid product which can be used in the same way as iodine, although it is certainly less harmful than iodine.

Hypericum can also be used as an antiseptic, and dabbed on externally. Dr Joseph Schier and other well-known paediatrici­ans have recommended this simple remedy made from St John’s wort even for the prevention of tetanus.
