The causes of cavities include infection, poor mineral absorption and imbalances, acidity in the mouth, and an unbalanced flora in the mouth and digestive tract. While it’s important to go to the dentist for regular cleanings, grinding out a cavity and filling it will not uproot the cause of the cavity in the first place. There’s no better way to bring the body back to homeostasis than with homeopathic remedies to correct the imbalances causing the cavity in the first place.

After treating a cold or flu even once with homeopathy, your body also learns how to respond properly to viruses, boosting your general immune response to keep you healthier longer!
Rooted in Song
Song has grown with us through life’s many chapters. As babies our mothers sang to soothe and comfort, to get our attention and lull us to sleep as mother figures have done for generations. As toddlers we mimicked what we heard and began bonding with our families through singing songs about the world around us, silly songs, and songs to soothe us after bumps and bruises. These musical habits followed us as we aged to accompany skipping, discovering and courage. Many stepping stones are crossed in life which take us to new places, but our need for song is constant.
