Child Care in ayurveda

Child-care, like other topics in Ayurveda, is also based on natural remedies. Children are weaker in strength than adults and as such are unable to tolerate strong medicines. In early childhood they are helpless and cannot properly express their symptoms or problems. So it is necessary to take utmost care in choosing remedies for them.

Ayurveda prescribes mild remedies for children in order to protect their delicate organs. Also, since Ayurvedic medicines are natural and harmless they are the obvious choice for treating children.

In addition to physical problems, children in this modern age suffer at the psychological level. Often this is because their parents are too busy and cannot afford much time to look after them. As a result, the children lack physical love from their parents, which makes them unhappy. Although they are too young to express it, they hold the negative impressions inside, which affect their personalities.

Ayurvedic child-care explains all of the physical and psychological problems relating to children and suggests simple natural remedies to treat them. This section provides simple solutions to some very common problems affecting children
