Understanding the child: A homoeopathic perspective on pediatric behaviour and remedies
Rashmi R Bhavikatti, KS Pradeep Reddy, Sudheer R Betageri and Arun V Hooli
Pediatric case-taking in homeopathy relies primarily on objective observations, as younger children often cannot articulate their symptoms. Careful attention to Behaviour, temperament, and parental input is essential in selecting the similimum. The AXIS framework—sociability, activity, destructibility, thermals, and Behaviour—serves as a practical guide for evaluating individuality in children. Distinct constitutional portraits, illustrate characteristic patterns of thought, emotion, and physical expression.
Recognizing these remedy pictures enhances clinical accuracy, allowing practitioners to address both mental and physical aspects effectively. Integrating Behavioural assessment with constitutional analysis ensures individualized prescriptions, resulting in gentle and lasting cures in pediatric practice.
