Can night terrors be prevented?
-
There is no sure way to prevent night terrors. Typically, they occur in childhood and are outgrown. But if your night terrors are linked to an underlying condition, such as stress, treating the condition may help prevent more episodes. Similarly, if you avoid certain medications, you may reduce your risk.

Burke Lennihan RN CCH answered:Yes, and it involves addressing the underlying disturbance. Night terrors don’t come out of the blue. They are a manifestation of something else going on deep inside – some trauma or frightening experience or other unbalancing factor. That is why finding the perfectly-matching homeopathic remedy that relieves the night terrors is likely to have other positive effects in the person’s life.
You may want to investigate this natural approach, especially for children whom you may not want to medicate with conventional drugs. Usually a professional homeopath can relieve a child’s night terrors with a specific homeopathic remedy individualized to your child, like custom-tailored clothes. Specific suggestions cannot be listed here because the medicine that works is likely to be different for each child. These medicines are safe and gentle yet effective and regulated by the FDA as over-the-counter drugs.
This type of thing is relatively easy for a homeopath to resolve. The way homeopathy works (treating the whole person), your child is likely to improve in other ways which seem totally unrelated to the night terrors, such as temper tantrums, problems in school, tics or twitches, many possible other symptoms which might get better.
Of course the same approach will work for adults with night terrors.
