Over the last few years babyREFLUX have been striving to provide the best advice and positional aids for babies that experience the curse of reflux.
One question that we get asked time and time again is “Should we try homoeopathic treatments to help with reflux?…”
On the whole we suggest that you try what you want, and keep going until something works for you. However, one thing we never suggest is trying homoeopathy to help manage reflux. So, why do we never suggest homoeopathy?
Because it doesn’t work!
It is well documented that there is no scientific evidence that homoeopathy helps in any way besides that of a placebo effect – and in babies even that doesn’t work.
If you want a great website to understand what homoeopathy is, why it doesn’t work and why Boots have admitted that the homoeopathy products they sell don’t work then take a look here: http://www.1023.org.uk/
Even though we are no fans of homoeopathy – we do think there is merit in trying alternative treatments. Cranial osteopathy and herbal remedies, for example, do have their place and can be backed up with scientific data.
