It has been said that child is the father of man. By caring for the health of the child, right from its conception and removing hereditary taints and carrying it through a period of as good health as may be possible by us by use of homoeopathic system of medicine, we can build up a new generation of comparatively less ‘sick’ people. Many of the most common illnesses of childhood can be effectively treated with homeopathic medicines. And thus Homeopathy is gaining recognition in the conventional field of medicine and has been subject to many clinical trials.
