A Mouse in the House

9/29/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
Cooler weather must be coming. We have a mouse in the house - or, more accurately, a few mouses. I don’t do well with rodents… a classic Calc carb trait, actually.

Calc carb is a grade 3 remedy listed in the rubric for Fear of Mice.

Once upon a time, there was a dead mouse in the back room where I worked. I was so freaked out by this that I had to go out the back door and walk all the way around the mall to get back in the building because I was mentally unable to step over the dead mouse to get back out the door I had just entered. That’s a pretty hefty fear of something that can do me no harm. (I know Hanta Virus is a thing, but… suffice it to say that this poor, little, dead creature was not going to harm me at that moment.)

I have taken Calc carb in the past and my fear of mice has been tempered considerably. I still don’t like them and I really don’t like the idea of them being in my house. The fact there was one in my bedroom (!) disturbs me. (I won’t even go into how freaked out I was when a squirrel was once in my bedroom!! My boys still think my impression of the maid from "Tom & Jerry" was pretty funny - me, standing up on my bed afraid to step back on the floor.) But, I am happy to say that paralyzing fear is gone.

I have made such great advances in this area that I was even about to rid the remains of one by myself the other day but my teenage son came to my rescue. It is safe to say that a few years ago there was not a chance of me ever even considering doing that job.

Even looking for an image to put on this blog… I had to go for an illustration because the photos of mice cause a visceral reaction. Perhaps I need to reconsider another dose of Calc carb!

So, the long and the short of this article is mouse rubrics, because fear of mice is not the only one the homeopathic literature addresses.

If your nervous system is suffering after being frightened by a mouse (the rubric is actually “frightened; sudden and severe, after being, by a mouse running up arm” (which is quite frankly too much for me to even think about!) try some Ignatia.

If it just feels like a mouse is running up your arm, then try Calc carb.

If you have a sensation as if a mouse is running up your back: Sulphur.

If you are hallucinating that you see a mouse running from under a chair… try some Cimicifuga. (Or, better yet, check and see if you really did see that and then try a dose of Cimicifuga if there is no evidence of said being!)

Dreaming of mice? Or, sleep disturbed due to your fear of mice? Calc carb.

If you hear noises in your ear that sound like a squeaking mouse: Rhus tox.

Even though I am coping better, I prefer to live in a house where not a creature was stirring, other than the 2-legged kind.

Cicadas

9/23/2023

0 Comments

 
As summer winds down, the cicadas seem to be winding up. Boy, they have been noisy this year! When they take a break, the silence makes me realize that living with something like tinnitus must be very trying, indeed!

Tinnitus (National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders 2018), the perception of outside noise when no actual external stimulus is causing the sound, affects 15-20% of people of all ages but it is especially common in older adults. Sometimes there is an underlying cause that can be addressed to fix the tinnitus, but usually, treatments to make the tinnitus less noticeable are used (things like hearing aids, sound generators). Common causes are hearing loss, ear infection or ear canal blockage, head or neck injuries and medications (Mayo Clinic 2018).

Like so many chronic conditions, we are told there is no cure. Half the people who experience tinnitus do not have measurable hearing loss. A small percentage of people suffering from tinnitus experience serious debility in their daily lives (Prutsman 2023).

Homeopathically speaking, there are some remedies that can help though it’s not usually a quick fix, so be prepared to be patient. 

There are a lot of rubrics and remedies associated with hearing noises in the ears — some of them quite specific as to the sound (for example, hearing bagpipes in the distance — Nat carb) or, specific circumstances or specific times of day when the noises occur.

A few remedies pop up more often than others: Petroleum, Lycopodium, and China officinalis, in particular. There is a theme amongst these remedies of sensitive hearing, hyperacusis, which is a common complaint of tinnitus sufferers (Hebert et al. 2013). It never ceases to amaze me how homeopathy figured this stuff out a hundred plus years before the research was done! 

Petroleum is associated with chronic eustachian catarrh, (mucus or gunk in laymen’s terms). Conversely, there may be a dryness or a disagreeable feeling of dryness in the ears. There may be itching deep inside the ear or, diminished hearing in general. There could be an over-sensitiveness of not only hearing, but also of touch and smell, too.

Impaired hearing with noises in the ears; impaired hearing in old people or, progressive hearing impairment.

The sounds which may be heard for which Petroleum may be of benefit: bells; humming; constant roaring or rushing water; cracking; whizzing or the sound of wind.

Lycopodium may help when there is a swelling of the ear with discharge. Perhaps, a sensation as if hot blood has rushed into the ears.

Impaired hearing with discharge from the ear. Sensitive to noises and sounds, particularly music.

The noises which may be helped with Lycopodium are: roaring, humming, whizzing and rushing.

China officinalis is for a great over-sensitiveness of the nervous system — all sights, smells, hearing and taste are too strong. The external ear may be sensitive to touch.

Impaired hearing with constant noises in the ears, possibly with a headache.

The noises which may be helped by China officinalis are humming; ringing, especially with an accompanying headache; roaring; ticking as of a distant watch; buzzing; noises as if hearing singing.

Back to the bagpipes of Natrum carbonicum… this remedy isn’t as prominent as the remedies listed above, but there are some interesting things associated with it.

There may be a stopped sensation with diminished hearing. Sensitive hearing, particularly to music - they can’t bear it or, the rumpling of paper.

Bubbling noises or as if a bubble is bursting; sounds seem to come from the left side when they really come from the right; and, the illusion of hearing singing. And, though they can’t stand hearing music, they have the delusion they are hearing music — that must be frustratingly awful!

A list of a few noise rubrics and some corresponding remedies:
  • If you hear noises in your ears when blowing your nose: Calc carb or Hepar sulph.
  • Buzzing is a big one with a lot of possibly indicated remedies, but some good places to start would be Argentum nitricum, China off, Lycopodium, or Nux-vomica.
  • If the noises occur only at night, try Dulcamera or Graphites.
  • Cracking sound: Kali carb or Petroleum.
  • In bed, or, lying down makes it worse: Sulphur
  • Hearing noises during a headache: China off.
  • Humming: China off, Lycopodium, Phosphorus or Sepia
  • Difficulty hearing with the noises: Causticum or Lycopodium
  • Rushing water: Chamomilla
  • Boiling water: Lycopodium
  • As of wind: Petroleum
  • If it is synchronous with the pulse, it’s an easy one to remember: Pulsatilla, or, Puls for short.

Book a focused consultation and see if we can take the focus off those noises for you.

Where to Buy Homeopathic Remedies

9/16/2023

Well, it appears Whole Foods has failed us. Despite receiving a tremendous number of requests in a short amount of time, they have decided at a corporate level to stop carrying single homeopathic remedies.

I am terribly disappointed, but I’m not surprised. (Though I haven’t heard an official word, I have noticed Whole Foods had stopped carrying most of the Bach essences recently, too.)

Ever since Amazon purchased Whole Foods, nothing has been as good as it was. At all. By far. The selection of products, the quality of prepared foods and even the offerings at the butcher counter are not as nice as they once were. It’s a real bummer on many fronts.

So, where to buy your homeopathic remedies locally?

If you have a Sprouts in your town, that is your best bet. Sprouts carries a much larger selection of homeopathic remedies than Whole Foods ever did.

Natural Grocers is another store that carries individual homeopathic remedies.

If you have a local independent herb store, they often have a few individual remedies for sale. If they don’t, ask them to do so!

Other than that, it’s to the internet we turn. (For all examples, I looked at Bryonia alba in both 30c and 200c for pricing.)

If you want the familiar blue and purple tubes, go to Boiron*. Online, Boiron actually offers a much wider range of remedies and potencies. Their 30c is $8.49 and 200c is $11.99. (Note: Boiron tubes contain 80 pellets or 16 doses.) Additionally, they sell some Gemmos (see here for a little information on those.) Bonus! At the time of this writing, Boiron has 10% off Calendula and “On the Go” medicines. I also see “free shipping is automatically applied to all orders.” It’s not clear if this is all orders all the time or just the above mentioned promo.

Washington Homeopathics is an excellent US pharmacy. They can be found at homeopathyworks.com. Their prices are $9.49 for a 30c and $16.29 for 200c. (Note: Washington sells their individual remedies in a 4 dram vial, so 900 pellets, which is a lot of pellets!) They also sell some of their remedies in 1/2 dram kit refills (containing 350 pellets) in nice little glass vials for $4.19 and $5.29 respectively. Additionally, they sell Bach Flower Essences and offer a nice selection of books and even a home-school curriculum. Bonus! Washington Homeopathics always has a few remedies on 20% sale each month.

Hahnemann Labs is another superb US pharmacy. They offer a wide range of remedies and potencies and their glass tubes are $10.95 for 1/2 dram and $12.95 for a 2 dram 30c; 200c is $16.95 and $22.95 respectively. (The number of pellets is different and a little confusing: for up to 99c potencies, 80 pellets in the 1/2 dram and 240 pellets in the 2 dram.) For 100c potencies and up: 1/2 dram = 240 pellets and 2 dram = 730 pellets.) Note: Hahnemann 1/2 dram do not fit in standard kits; they are short, fat tubes. Bonus! I just got off the phone with a nice woman at Hahnemann Labs who confirmed that there is $2 discount on each remedy when ordering on-line.

Olloïs sells nice remedies. They don’t have a huge selection but what they have, I like. Their claim to fame is lactose-free remedies. Their 30c is $8.49 and 200c is $9.49. (Approximately 80 pellets per tube.) Additionally, they offer a free 7-day video course on homeopathy if you want to learn more. Bonus! Free shipping on orders over $29.

On to distributors in the US…

I have written about Tap Roots before in regard to their kits, which I really like. They sell some individual remedies from both Washington and Boiron (similar or identical prices to buying those directly). They also sell Narayani mixes (which appear to be $22.99 each) and some Banerji protocol combination remedies (ex. Aconite 200c + Bryonia 30c for $20.99. As a reminder, Acon/Bry is the Banerji go-to protocol to use at the first sign of feeling unwell.) Additionally, they have cell salts and a nice selection of homeopathic books. Bonus! Tap Roots offers free shipping on $75+ orders.

Vitamin shoppe sells a few Boiron single remedies, also for $8.49 each. 

Vitacost has a few Boiron and Olloïs remedies on offer. Prices seem to vary more than the other sites. 
​
Looking further afield (if you are in the US these are further afield anyway)…

Helios in the UK ships to the US, though don’t expect it to arrive immediately. They have an excellent selection of remedies but their site can be a little cumbersome. If you like the self-dispensing tubes (similar to Boiron), choose: “Pills (No 6) (sucrose) in a 4g dispenser)”. Generally speaking, it appears these tubes run £5.85. They offer a huge range of potencies and a really nice selection of books and other products. Additionally, when I was in the UK at Christmas I discovered A. Vogel’s Echinacea Bioforce tablets that you might want to consider. (Not homeopathic, but good stuff!)

Ainsworths is another UK homeopathic pharmacy. One feature I like about Ainsworths is you can build your own combo remedy. They, too, have a huge selection of remedies offered in a selection of pellets/tablets. 7g vial is the closest to the size we’re used to in the US. Though, their 1g vial (with the cute little cork stopper) is good for travel or, if you are in need of a “specialty” remedy. A 7g vial of a 30c or 200c is £7.50. I recently purchased “tablets” and that has been a nice change from the little pellets, though it doesn’t feel like the quantity will go very far.

Weleda in the UK sells a nice “counter range” of 30c remedies for £7.65. Note: these bottles are not pocket friendly tubes. I have purchased these in the UK but I have not tried ordering from the US.

If you feel so inclined, Amazon also sells some remedies. However, proceed with caution as they sell some brands which are unknown to me and I have heard some not great things from some of the “off-brand” remedies they have on offer.

This is a short list of the pharmacies and distributors I know to be of good quality. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. I’m sure there are more, but this should be a good start.

So, not quite as easy as picking up a remedy while you’re buying your groceries, but with a little planning, you won’t be disappointed with purchasing remedies on-line.

Sore Tootsies

9/9/2023

0 Comments

I was listening to a Russel Brand podcast the other day where he was talking to the man who began VivoBarefoot* shoe company -- shoes that changed my world.

I used to love my pointy-toe cowboy boots and my high heels and for a minute there I had some kickin' little, pointy toe boots made from army green cloth -- they didn't last long, but I loved them!

Somewhere along the line, a body worker suggested my footwear may be playing a part in my hip/spine aches.

So, me being me, always looking for ways to improve my condition, I put my binding and lifting (but cute!) shoes on the shelf and moved to a shoe with a negative or zero-drop heel and a wide toe box.

Lo and behold, it helped! A lot. I'm never going back.

It wasn’t over night, that’s for sure. It took quite a while to build up those long under-used muscles. When I first began, the ache in my feet, going all the way up the leg was definitely a thing. (If you are going to give this a try, be sure to go slowly — wearing the barefoot shoe for short periods of time and building up to a full day.)

The only problem, though, was that the bulk of these shoes were not cute. I would look down at my feet and think, “I’m wearing clown shoes.” But, I stuck with my unfashionable shoes and my toes can now move around like never before — the way they are supposed to. (Note: overall, comfy shoes are much better looking now than when I began this process.)

There are zero-drop shoes and there are minimalist shoes (like the Vivo Barefoot I mentioned earlier, as well as what I call my “frog feet” shoes — Vibram Five Fingers* — which they now do a nice job of disguising, but when I first started wearing them they were really goofy looking).

The point of minimalist shoes is to allow your feet to use all those muscles that become under-utilized when wearing modern comfy, squishy shoes. There are a lot of muscles in your feet and all those muscles connect to all those other muscles and ligaments and tendons and joints going all the way up the chain -- you know, the foot bone is connected to the ankle bone…. (For a little look at what’s going on down there: (Card and Bordoni 2020).

As we have all experienced, when your feet hurt, everything hurts.

I have written a little bit about plantar fasciitis and heel spurs here. 

Without going into specific foot problems, a place to start for sore feet would be my go-to combination for all things joints/muscles: Arnica/Ruta/Rhus. See here and here.

Why Arnica, Ruta and Rhus?

Arnica is the first remedy to think about for trauma/injury. Excellent for bruising and muscle pain, in general.

Ruta is good for connective tissues -- tendons and ligaments as well as stiffness.

Rhus tox is a go-to for joint issues and is highly indicated in the following specific feet issues:
  • aching feet
  • sore feet due to exertion
  • while sitting
  • in the morning
  • walking/movement helps
  • restlessness feet
  • stiff feet

If you want to get a little more specific, rather than taking a combo remedy, try one of these remedies on for size…

Foot pain that extends upward: Ledum palustre
As if sprained: Arnica or Rhus tox
Toenail injuries: Arnica or Hypericum
Cramps: Mag-phos or Calc carb
Pain while sitting (the pain lessens during continued movement) & feels better in warmth: Rhus tox
Pain while standing: Ruta
Sole pain: Causticum
Shooting pain or tearing pain: Kali-carb

Take a step in the right direction and try some homeopathy and see if you can get a little relief for those sore tootsies.

Happy Pills

9/3/2023

​“Do you have anything to help with my love life?” “What do you have in the way of ‘happy pills?’” “Do you have something for…” Fill in the blank. Not uncommon questions to a homeopath as people are looking for a quick fix for what ails them. 

The short answer is “sort of.” If someone is looking for a quick fix there are some possible quick answers that don’t involve working with a homeopath (though I highly recommend doing just that). I’ll get to those in a minute.

The longer, more complete answer is homeopathy addresses the whole person and therefore it can help with these bigger issues which are asked about in a throw away question… like happiness.

Happiness. Joy. Joie de vivre. Such a hugely important thing.

Interestingly, some people looking for a quick fix for happiness may not have even considered that they are actually sad. To them, they are just "not happy." But, that's how homeopathy would look at it. A lack of happiness/sadness can stem from a vast variety of reasons… Illness. Anxiety. Chronic pain. Fear. Problems at home. Problems at work. Stress. Poor sleep. Broken heart. The list is practically endless.

One of my favorite aspects of homeopathic remedies is when a remedy hits home, the emotions, the mood, is one of the first things to be affected. This is particularly apparent in an acute situation.

What do I mean by that?
So many times have I heard from clients that when they have given the appropriate acute homeopathic remedy to their unwell loved one that shortly thereafter the loved one still has the symptoms of illness, but they are now cheerier. When you see this change occurring, know that the physical symptoms will most likely follow behind pretty quickly.

What does this look like?
Children are still coughing and sneezing, but they are off the couch and now playing. The adult is still complaining of a stomach ache but they are now able to read a book or watch TV and engage with the world again.

Where would I begin to help someone on a generic level who has lost their joy? With this question, I am attempting to answer generically, meaning, without hearing the details of their symptoms. A practical homeopathic solution to sadness, if you will.

I would begin with some well chosen Bach Flowers. A few Bachs to consider:

Mustard can help with gloom. (I have previously written about Mustard’s marvelous effects HERE. 

Honeysuckle can help the person see the happiness in today, rather than thinking the good old days held the secret to their happiness.

Conversely, if the person is dreaming of the happiness that might one day be, Clematis may be a better fit. 

Wild Rose can help to reignite a passion for life for those who have become apathetic and resigned.

There are other Bach Flowers which may be more suited to your situation. If you are interested in a Bach-only consultation, click HERE. 

Are there homeopathic remedies that are able to address a lack of joy?

There are indeed! 

Robin Murphy lists 457 remedies in his rubric for sadness*!

In his rubric for acute sadness, he lists only 3 remedies… One of which makes complete sense to me. 

Natrum muriaticum. (For previous articles on Nat Mur: The Big Goodbye; Springing Forward; Dehydration; Balance; Salty Lips.)

Homeopathic Nat mur is made from salt. What else is made of salt? Tears are made of salt, making this an easy remedy to remember to address sadness.

There are many different kinds of sadness — something I never really thought about until I started studying homeopathy. To me, back then, someone was either happy or sad. (That’s such an unbelievably strange way of thinking to me now!)

What kinds of sadness are addressed by Nat mur?

  • Sadness when they are alone, or, the opposite may hold true as well, they are sad and they desire solitude.
  • Unconsolable sadness.
  • Feeling sad, but are unable to cry.
  • Sadness following a grief.
  • Sadness from disappointed love.
  • Sadness before menses.
  • Music brings on sadness.
  • Thinking of past events brings sadness.
  • People who are sad but when they receive sympathy it actually doesn’t do them any good.
  • People who don’t feel like talking when they are sad.

Of course with all things homeopathy, the best way to choose a remedy is based on the compilation of a person’s symptoms. Though Nat mur may be a good place to start, a better fitting remedy may be found in one of those other 457 remedies. 

This life we have been given is short. If you are having a hard time finding joy, give homeopathy a try.

Musical Resonance

8/26/2023

​It’s a musical night around my house tonight.

Not an unusual occurrence — friendly banter about what is “good” music. Who was better, Simon or Garfunkel? (Or, were they each only any good as a pair?) What would protest music look like in today’s current climate? A sharing of playlists. It’s a good thing. (I have found a bunch of my favorite tunes from my boys.)

Some people are greatly affected by music. Sound as a healing modality is such a cool idea — Tibetan singing bowls? Amazing. Never heard of them? Here are a couple links about the singing bowls: HERE* and HERE* 

Some alternative healing practitioners use tuning forks, something I’ve never tried, but I sure would like to give it a whirl! See here.* 

Music affects me strongly — but, I have to like what I’m listening to or else there’s no point in having it playing, (or, I’m ok with leaving the room, too.) I really need to like what music is playing. I’m a B-side kind of a gal, and, happy music only for me, please!  It’s a good thing I like a large and eclectic assortment of tunes, or life would be difficult for me.

If music plays an important or unusual role in your life, one of these rubrics may help you find a remedy that really resonates with you.

Let’s look at a few of these rubrics — they’re kind of fun, and quite specific and give us a little different insight into a couple of homeopathic remedies.

Tarantula hispanica, the Spanish tarantula has some interesting associations to music.
  • If passing water is difficult without listening to music, Tarentula might be of interest to you.
  • If you suffer from chorea (spasmodic involuntary movement of the limbs) or convulsions and music helps, Tarentula may help.
  • … Music ameliorates is a big one for Tarentula.
  • Music causing restless limbs or mental restlessness.
  • Staring eyes while listening to music.
  • Fears and phobias from music.
  • Music aggravates.
  • Music causing mental excitement or hysterical behavior.
  • Desires to hear or play music.
  • Drums produce euphoria.
  • Profuse perspiration from music.
  • Involuntary singing.
  • Impulse to dance… wildly… and jump!
  • Dancing ameliorates.

It shouldn’t be a big surprise after reading that list to learn that homeopathic Tarentula hispanica is a remedy for over-stimulation of the nervous system.

Another creature connected with music is the whale, or, more specifically, Ambra grisea, the highly prized substance from the secretion from the intestine of the sperm whale. For a little more info on this interesting stuff: here and here.

What musical symptoms may send you in the direction of homeopathic Ambra grisea, a remedy often associated with introversion and shyness?
  • If music brings on trembling nerves.
  • Pain in the ears from music.
  • Hyperemia (or, excess blood in a body part, in this case the head) from music.
  • A sensation of heat in the head from music.
  • Headache from music.
  • Heart palpitations from listening to music.
  • And weeping from music.

A bigger remedy for the music causing the tears to flow is Nat mur, a homeopathic remedy which often has deep grief and sorrow at its core. Other salty (Nat mur) music symptoms:
  • Depression and sadness from music.
  • Music aggravates or ameliorates — either way, it just has an effect.
  • Irritability from music.
  • Impulse to dance.

All three of these remedies are indicated for those who are oversensitive and emotional to music, but especially Nat mur and Tarentula, but on opposite sides of the [musical] scale.

In the words of Aldous Huxley, “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”

The Big Goodbye

Fastest summer ever! We went on vacation for what seemed like just a minute and fall is already upon us!

If you have kids heading off to college, I bet it went by even faster for you!

Your college bound cherubs will be fending for themselves, often for the first time. With that in mind, I highly suggest sending along a few homeopathic remedies for them. I’m going to keep this short and sweet because they are going to be busy and they probably are not too (outwardly, anyway) interested in more nagging from mom and dad.

Please note there is a lot more to each of these remedies — I’m just thinking in terms of how to leave quick instructions for them as they are navigating the world for the first time on their own.*

  1. Aconite 200c/Bryonia 30c is the Banerji protocol to take at the first sign of feeling unwell. (This would actually be 2 remedies, but I’m going to cheat and count it as 1 since they can be used as a combination remedy to ward off sickness.)
  • Aconite is for 4F: Fast onset; Fever; Fright and Fear.
  • Bryonia is for pains that are worse for the slightest motion -- when it even hurts to move your eyes. Good for illness or for injuries.
  1. Arnica 200c for all those bumps and bruises and aches and pains from tag football on the quad. (Does this even happen any more? I suppose Arnica would help with a sore thumb from a mega-session of gaming. 🤣)
  2. Arsenicum album 30c to help with diarrhea, vomiting, nausea; colds and flu and even panic attacks.
  3. Hepar Sulphur 30c for little wounds and infections; sore throats, swollen glands and coughs and even hoarse voices from all those pep rallies! (Yeah, I'm thinking those don't exist any longer, either. Alas.)
  4. Nux vomica 30c is probably going to come in very handy for a new college student. It’s excellent for over-indulgence: too much pizza, not enough sleep. It’s also really helpful to help keep the bowels moving when it’s bunged up from too much pizza.

Back to the big good bye…

Nerves have to play a part in the days leading up to departure, for them and for you (as well as little siblings and pets left behind). For previous posts on back to school, see here and here.

For the pre-leaving jitters, think of Gelsemium. “Nervous dread,” anticipatory anxiety which may result in headaches or nervous tummy — this remedy can be for the student, the parents or the little one who is going to be left behind.

For mom and dad, waving goodbye, oof, that can be a highly emotional few minutes (or hours). Ignatia is a good one to have in your pocket while you’re helping them set up their dorm room as well as that one last goodbye hug.

Ignatia is the go-to for everybody involved in this experience (even Rover) and can help to take the edge off and allow a return to a new normal. If Ignatia is not doing the trick, think of the following remedies:

For the younger sibling who is having a hard time adjusting to the missing brother or sister and Ignatia is not quite enough help, try a dose of Nat mur for feelings of abandonment and loneliness.

If your son or daughter who has just left home has a history of having a tough time adjusting to being away, Capsaicin is a good remedy to tuck into their things for them. There may be a tendency to moodiness and sleeplessness with the homesickness.

Bach Flowers really do a marvelous job in these situations. Here are a few to consider:
  • Walnut may help everybody adjust to new situations.
  • Red Chestnut may help the worried parents.
  • Chicory may help mom and dad let go a bit.
  • Larch for the new undergrad who may be feeling a little lacking in the self-confidence department.
  • Rescue Remedy may help someone who is really struggling with this change.

Sending your child (your baby!) off into the big wide world can be a daunting experience. If you are having a hard time adjusting to this change, book a focused consultation and we’ll see if we can get you back to a new (and maybe even better!) normal.

Pellet Roulette

7/30/2023

Picture
It has been a busy couple of weeks of traveling. According to a Boiron email that was in my inbox, 49% of Americans are traveling more this summer than last year, so I am not alone. The completely full flights I have been on seem to corroborate this idea.

I carry remedies with me pretty much every where I go. Why wouldn’t I? They do me no good tucked in my cupboard at home! (If you’re interested in what I generally carry and why, see here.)

I noticed on my last trip that my very old (but otherwise completely fine), miniature tubes of Arnica had been compromised. My 200c had somehow gotten wet and is now just a clump in the bottom of the little glass vial*. The lid on my equally old and equally little tube of Arnica 1M had come off and spilled in the bottom of my little remedy bag.

In anticipation of this next trip, I went through and took a second look at what I am carrying around with me and I replaced the Arnicas. I thought I was good to go.

Fast forward to today when our flight was re-routed due to weather and my neck and shoulder were feeling jolly uncomfortable in my middle seat following a pre-departure, fitful night’s sleep. I grabbed my little bag in eager anticipation of a dose of Arnica and the cap on my brand new little tube of Arnica was floating freely. Might the little pellets be loose on the bottom of the bag? Maybe, but it wouldn’t be my first spill of pellets in that bag, so I abandoned the idea of playing pellet roulette.

With our connecting flight long departed without us, we had many, many hours to kill so I visited the chair massage place. When I was paying, guess what they were selling? Various homeopathic combination remedies.

How cool is that?!

I have heard it said that Arnica is the “gateway” to further homeopathy use and as a homeopath, I can’t begin to tell you how happy I was to see remedies for sale in as mainstream a place as an airport**.

Now, let’s talk about X-ray machines. Some people claim putting the remedies through the machines can damage them. I have never found this to be the case. I have flown many, many times with my remedies. In my early days of using homeopathy, I would ask for them to be hand inspected, but I only did that a couple of times. Each of the remedies in my travel kit of 100 remedies has worked fine and dandy for me every time I have used them — seemingly no worse for the X-ray exposure.

Some of my remedies travel in a little bag with EMF lining to protect them. Others, like my 100 kit, do not. Why are some protected and others not? No reason in particular. I have the little bags because they’re cute and easy to find in my luggage. (If you’re interested, there are some good options on Etsy.)

Can any harm be done by playing pellet roulette? In my opinion, no. Especially when the pellets have been hanging out on the bottom of a cloth bag for a while. Remember, the medicine is sprayed on the outside of each pellet and most likely has rubbed off.

Wishing you happy and restful summer days.

* I needn’t throw this vial out. To use it, all I would have to do is put a tiny bit of water in this tiny little vial and have a tiny little sip. Voilà. A dose of Arnica.

** I’ve never tried this brand of remedies, but I am seeing them quite frequently now, so I’ll give them a try one day soon and let you know my thoughts.

Kitchen Quickie for Newlyweds

7/22/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
I was on a plane, on my way to a wedding last week and the thought occurred to me that a homeopathic remedy kit would make an excellent wedding present.

Why? For myriad reasons, but the one that comes first to mind is based on the nugget I read many years ago that newlyweds are more prone to knife accidents in the kitchen.

Why? Apparently newlyweds have never used sharp knives until they have been gifted some for their wedding*.  (Perhaps this is old news and no longer relevant to today’s modern living with access to quality goods long before getting hitched, because I couldn’t find anything on my quick search of the internet.)

Back to those cuts. If it’s a bad or deep cut — seek medical attention, otherwise, after cleaning the wound, try one of these:

If it’s a clean slice, start with Staphysagria for relief and healing.

If it’s a jagged cut, start with Calendula for relief and healing.

If nerves are involved, you may need to add Hypericum for relief and healing.

A while back, I did a doozy, and the details of that injury and how I handled it homeopathically can be found in that link.

(If you are a recipient of some knives, be sure to give the kind gifter a penny, otherwise, as the saying goes, you are at risk of severing the relationship!)

Stay on the safe side and give a homeopathic remedy kit, instead!

For some ideas of kits*:
  • Taproots has a great assortment of kits in small, travel sized glass vials. 
  • Hahnemann labs has a nice assortment, all in 2 dram glass vials. 
  • Helios in the UK has a few kits in glass vials in a hard case for traveling. 
For more kit ideas, see here.

Now you're all set for wedding season gifting ideas

It's Never Too Late, 5: Cough

7/8/2023

0 Comments

“Homeopathic treatment is always worthwhile, even in individuals who are seriously ill and in need of care where there is no hope of complete recovery of health” (Teut and Doppler 2019).
Coughs are considered chronic when they last for 8 weeks or longer (4 weeks in children).

Nuisance? Yup. Annoying? Yup. (For the cougher and those around you.) Dangerous? Sometimes — be sure to seek the opinion of a medical professional if you are suffering from a chronic cough. Additionally, severe coughs can cause vomiting, dizziness, incontinence and even rib fractures.

What causes a chronic cough? Allergies. Postnasal drip. Asthma. Smoking. Acid reflux. Infections (colds and flus). Pneumonia (if you suspect this, please go to the doctor). Fungal infections of the lung. COPD. Some drugs can be the cause of chronic cough. The list goes on, but I dare say you get the picture. Plenty of underlying reasons for a chronic cough.

The beautiful part of homeopathy… well, there are many beautiful parts to homeopathy, actually. I digress. Back to today’s beautiful part of homeopathy. The underlying cause doesn’t matter. If we know the reason, it can sometimes be helpful, but it’s not a necessary component to find relief.

According to pulmonologist Jonathan Parson from Ohio’s Weiner Medical Center, it’s important to remember that coughing is considered to be a “protective mechanism.”

A few descriptions of coughs:
  • A wet cough, also known as a productive cough, brings up mucus.
  • Dry cough: can be tickling, annoying, hacking; this kind of cough may come in groupings.
  • Paroxysmal coughs: violent, draining coughs that can make it hard to breathe.
  • Hemoptysis: this is the coughing up of blood. * Please seek medical treatment ASAP.

Some coughs come in the middle of the night, waking the poor soul (and their spouse). Some people cough first thing in the morning. Some people cough all day long sometimes escalating to the point of vomiting.

With so many different kinds of cough, it’s no surprise there are a lot of homeopathic remedies which may help.

Today, I’m going to do a brief repertory (listing the specific type of cough and the associated remedies) followed by a short Materia Medica (a write-up of the remedies) for a couple of my favorite cough remedies. Note: this is an incomplete repertory. (Frederik Schroyens lists over 4,000 rubrics for cough!) I concentrated only on the most highly indicated and easily available remedies. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are many possible underlying reasons for cough, some of which can be very serious. I have highlighted only a couple of these symptoms. If you are suffering from a chronic cough, have it evaluated by a medical professional.

Bursting head pain during cough: Bryonia, Natrum muriatium, Nux vomica,

Coughing worse by eating: Antimonium tart, Bryonia, Nux vomica

Cough with obstructed breathing: *BE SURE TO SEEK MEDICAL CARE IMMEDIATELY. While waiting for help to arrive, try one of the following: Antimonium tart, Arsenicum album, Cuprum metallic, Drosera, Ipecac, Nux vomica

Cough with rattling in the chest: Antimonium tart, Ipecac, Nux vomica

Cough with vomiting: Antimonium tart, Bryonia, Drosera, Nux vomica

Evening cough: Bryonia, Nux vomica

Eyes watering during cough: Bryonia, Natrum muriaticum,

Fear of coughing: Antimonium tart, Apis, Drosera

Involuntary urination with Cough: Apis, Arsenicum album, Bryonia, Causticum, Natrum muriaticum Nux vomica

Painful cough: Bryonia, Causticum, Nux vomica

Suffocating, choking cough: Antimonium tart, Cuprum, Drosera, Ipecac,

    I am passionate about homeopathy and I love sharing this passion. Having a working knowledge of homeopathy shouldn't be kept a secret. If people have the ability to help themselves, their children and their friends when they have minor ailments, life just gets better for everyone. That is the purpose behind Ruminating on Remedies.
