The paediatric age group represents a critical phase of immune system development, during which children are particularly vulnerable to infections due to physiological immaturity of the defence mechanisms. Recurrent respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic manifestations, and delayed recovery are frequently encountered in clinical practice and often reflect an underlying weakness of immunity rather than isolated acute illnesses. While conventional medical management focuses primarily on controlling acute episodes, repeated recurrence indicates the need for a deeper, more holistic approach. Homeopathy offers a unique perspective in enhancing immunity in children by addressing the underlying susceptibility through individualised treatment. Rather than merely suppressing symptoms, homeopathy aims to strengthen the vital force, thereby improving the child’s inherent resistance to disease. This article explores the role of homeopathy in enhancing immunity in children through classical principles laid down in the Organon of Medicine, supported by the practical application of Materia Medica and Repertory. Emphasis is placed on constitutional prescribing, miasmatic understanding, and observation-based paediatric case-taking. Commonly indicated remedies such as Calcareacarbonica, Sulphur, Silicea, Pulsatilla, and Tuberculinum are discussed with clinical examples to illustrate their role in managing recurrent infections and immune weakness. The preventive and promotive role of homeopathy in reducing disease susceptibility and improving overall vitality is also highlighted. Through safe, gentle, and individualised intervention, homeopathy plays a significant role in supporting immune development and long-term health in children.
