Helping Children in War-Torn Ukraine
Dr. Ksenia Veklicheva practices medicine in Kyiv, Ukraine, working with families and children. She uses her training and experience in homeopathy, anthroposophic medicine and other forms of holistic therapy to help her patients cope with raising children amid the added stress and trauma of an ongoing war. As well as a practicing physician, she is an active health educator. During these times when communication is frequently online, she uses her Telegram channel with to post messages and courses teaching families how to use natural therapies to support their children’s health.
During the February, 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Kyiv was in the direct line of attack. Dr. Veklicheva’s two boys (aged two and six) were traumatized by emergency evacuation from Kyiv. For six days and nights they remained in a cellar while bombs came down nonstop. After returning to Kyiv, they were subjected to constant sirens, and the chaotic aftermath of massive destruction. The children screamed and cried, with major daytime trauma as well as sleep disruption and nightmares.
Another shock happened when their mother left for the anthroposophic medical conference in Switzerland, which was the first time the boys were separated from their mother. The younger child continually asked for his mother, and the older one collapsed after she returned. They continued to scream, cry and suffer from sleep disruption and nightmares. FES had donated flower essence formulas, taken to the conference by Dr. Tamara Potselueva,, and distributed to the Ukrainian doctors in attendance. When Dr. Veklicheva returned home, she gave her boys the Kinder Garden children's formula.
After they received the Kinder Garden formula the children were remarkably calm, with deeper sleep, fewer screams and tears, and were more emotionally available for others.
After she shared this experience via her Telegram channel, many mothers wanted to purchase the remedy, but it was not readily available. FES sent donations of Kinder Garden and other formulas, such as Flora-Sleep, Yarrow Environmental Solution and Grief Relief, which she distributed to her patients and colleagues. As there were frequent power outages, it was challenging to both receive and send out all of the packages to families in various locations in Ukraine, necessitating many trips to the post office.
Shared on Dr. Veklicheva’s Telegram channel: The caption reads, “Remedies obviously work- holding hands and together.”

How the Kinder Garden Flower Essence Formula Helps Ukrainian Families Cope with War Conditions: Reports from Dr. Veklicheva’s Patients
Thank you. The preparations are wonderful. 🙏 I have an anxious young child, easily excitable. It was difficult for him to concentrate on classes (second grade). Now they have everything online. With Kinder Garden, I noticed that it somehow became easier for him to tune in to study. He becomes more diligent. And if he is erratic, then I give him the spray. (He sprays himself). And a couple of times in the evening he himself remembered it before going to bed. I said, “If you are worried, you can take this preparation to spray a couple of times.”
Good day, Ksenia! I want to thank you for Kinder Garden. It definitely helped emotional tension in my four-year-old son. He was able to fall asleep. The night's sleep became calmer, and he does not wake up during the night. I tried the remedy myself and it also helped me to relax. I even think that I have become softer in our relationship, I understand him more. Thank you and Richard for your support! Even the thought that there are people who support me makes it easier 🙏
Thank you for the medicine. I am very impressed with its influence. The five and a half months abroad and month and a half in Western Ukraine did not pass easily for my daughter or me. It was a very stressful time for both of us. To be honest, I thought all was lost. She started puberty early at only eight and a half years. There were hysterical outbursts with auto-aggression. Even after our return to Ukraine these hysterical attacks appeared from time to time. Now, after receiving the Kinder Garden preparation, they have already disappeared. If there is a recurrence, then it is not with such force. If she is hysterical and I cannot spray in her mouth, I spray around her and she calms down before my eyes. It’s just a miracle. And even at this time, when the lights are turned off, for a long time (we had light for four hours in forty-eight hours), especially after the last shelling, Kinder Garden is simply irreplaceable. I give more intensively. I see how calm my child has become. She has such a positive attitude toward life. She takes every day with such courage and confidence, with joy. It’s inspiring. Once again, I am infinitely grateful.
My daughter had a dry, irritating, cough, but the pediatrician could find nothing wrong. After taking your Kinder Garden flower drops, she is instantly quiet and peaceful.
I used Kinder Garden with Post-Trauma Stabilizer. My nine-year-old daughter is now going to sleep on her own, in her room!!! Previously, she was afraid to be in the apartment with me in different rooms during the day. After a month of taking it, I can safely leave her in her own room, and sleep in my room at night.
I spray Kinder Garden with Flora-Sleep two times before going to bed, and she just falls asleep until the morning.
Kinder Garden helped my son adapt to the new rhythm. Falling asleep has become calmer. Sleep is stronger. When my son was injured, the first thing we did was give him a spray. During the first days and nights, when he was in pain, it helped a lot. My son felt better, upset emotions and discomfort quickly subsided. When transferring my son from bed to a shelter in case of anxiety, the spray also helps him to go back to sleep without waking up completely. We are very grateful for this miraculous gift. 🙏
Kinder Garden is a godsend. I have a teenager. This formula created a miracle when the nerves were completely shaken from the May attacks and lack of sleep. Our child became calmer. Thank you 🙏🏻
Dr. Veklicheva further reported: I give my children Kinder Garden on an ongoing basis. My older child Luka has it in the pocket of his jacket.
One of the mothers asked for a second bottle of Kinder Garden, because with it her child began to fall asleep more easily and tantrums became less frequent.
Parents ask where they can buy the preparation. Many have already asked me for a second or even a third bottle of Kinder Garden for their child, because they see the effects.
