My dd2 haven't figured out because I was out of hepar sulph. calc. when she was sick recently (not to mention I forgot to give it to her and LisaM recommended I try it )

So the first thing I always turn to for dd1 is hepar sulphur calc

have you looked at abchomeopathy.com they have a thorough remedy finder I do find it a bit tough tol determine a specific remedy for kids because they can't explain their symptoms so it's only based on your observation. I usually have "cold calm" on hand in case the other remedies I have for runny noses isn't working. Cold calm is a combination remedy but I can't remember the manufacturer.

This is a great thread. I love those kits at homeopathyworks.com Jelly bean, how many doses come in the 1 dram bottles. My problem with my kits is that one cold can wipe out a remedy around here with 5 of us


For kits, I have hyland's kits kit and a boiron kit that is no longer sold because it's so old I just keep refilling it although I am reconsidering getting a new/different one. I really like the kids kits at homeopathyworks.com . Here is a picture of the boiron kit with drawers. that was asked about earlier in the thread http://www.natural-living.com/boironkit.php you can also buy it at abchomeopathy or even buy an empty drawer like kit .

The pills are tiny tiny in the bottles. They look like tiny bottles but the pills are tiny too and you only need a couple of them. I'm not sure how many doses but at least 100 if not more. I do have a little tip for ya though on saving remedies...this is what my homeopath always told me to do. Especially if you ever use combo remedies. On ones you find work and use a lot get a bottle dropper...fill it with water and add a few pellets of your remedies. You'll have to succuss it every time you use it (I just tap mine hard on the palm of my hand) but it actually makes the remedy stronger instead of weaker and it makes your remedies last forever!!!
