Ditch the Calpol? Homeopathy and Family Medicine with Zoe Scanlan

In this episode of The Raise Podcast, we’re joined by Zoe Scanlan, a homeopath, mother and director of homeopathy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM), to explore the world of homeopathy and natural family health.

Zoe shares her journey into homeopathy and how it became a foundational tool in her parenting approach. We dive into what homeopathy actually is, how it supports the body’s healing mechanisms and why it’s especially powerful for children.

We explore topics like:

- The link between constitutional types and emotional/physical health

- Why fevers and childhood illness should be understood, not feared

- How to build a simple, effective natural medicine kit at home

- Navigating Calpol, antibiotics, and vaccine conversations in a conscious, empowered way

- Common misconceptions around homeopathy — and what every parent should know

Whether you're new to natural health or already exploring holistic parenting, this episode is full of practical takeaways, thought-provoking insights and gentle encouragement to tune into your child’s individual needs.
