t’s a spooky time of year — let’s take a look at some seasonally-appropriate rubrics and remedies and try a few scary ways to remember the remedy.  Ghosts show up mainly in the following mind rubrics (from Murphy, Phatak, & Knerr, Boericke, Boger — all level 3 unless otherwise mentioned) and I chose to compare a few commonly found homeopathic remedies which popped up in the repertory:
Arsenicum album I think of Arsenicum album more of an anxious remedy, but it’s right there big and bold in Murphy’s large general fears and phobias rubric. Arsenicum album is afraid of being alone and dying alone (yet, they may be averse to company, too; in fact, they may desire company but fear them, at the same time). They may be afraid when going to sleep.
Belladonna is also a bold level 3 in Murphy’s general fears and phobias rubric. In particular, Belladonna is afraid of animals (real and imaginary); fears while in bed; of coughing; of death and, imaginary things, think: ghosts and monsters.
Camphora is not my first thought for scared remedies, but I trust Knerr, so let’s take a look. Camphora is afraid of the dark and being left alone, especially at night (Ars, Phos, Stram) and being in bed, alone, on going to sleep. They are afraid of their own thoughts. A hall of mirrors might be too much for this person. And, they might just have the poop scared out of them, literally (Ars, Puls). Visions of ghosts and spirits may show up in their sleep. ☠️ Halloween connection: Sensory horror. Oversensitivity to noise and light, startles easily, and a fear of ghosts and of being alone in the dark. The picture that shows up from the proving is a little like someone visiting a haunted house. Another thought is embalming and the morgue. Camphor has been used as a deodorizer for the sickroom. The remedy is known to be cold to the touch, like a corpse. Camphor is a classic remedy for collapse, sudden chill and the sense that the body is shutting down and for coldness in spots (as if a part has already died). Carbo vegetablis is another remedy I would think of more for anxiety, but it, too is big and bold in Murphy’s general fears and phobias rubric, including the fear of ghosts… and monsters.
Carbo veg isn’t the first remedy I would think of for fears, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good one to try, especially if they have some keynotes of Carb-v in general:
They may fear a little something might escape involuntarily while tooting or urinating (Phos). 🎃 The Halloween connection: Carbo-veg is made from rot and putrefaction and this connects to the digestive keynotes of foul gas, bloating and a feeling of inner decay. Another thought is the pumpkin with a candle in it — left to rot and the oxygen is all gone, the jack-o-lantern gasping for air. Chamomilla might be a reluctant trick or treater with their fear of people (Lyc), or approaching others (Ars, Stram)… or, having others approach them (Stram), too. They, too are afraid of imaginary things and night time and the wind (Ars, Lyc, Puls), but for Chamomilla, this fear of night might be heightened during pains, especially teething. Their fears may be overpowering to them (Bell, Carb-v, Puls). Chamomilla’s boldest fear rubrics are being touched and shaking with fear. 👻 Halloween connection: To remember Chamomilla, think of the screaming child — the child who is furious and inconsolable and wants to constantly be carried and who screams more when they are put down. The temper tantrum that occurs when the little trick-or-treater is having a meltdown. They are hyper sensitive to pain and the itchy costume as well as the whole night in general might be too much for them. Kali carb may have some sadness (Ars, Lyc) and tears (Ars) with their fear. Their fear of being alone may be ameliorated by holding mom’s hand (Lyc, Puls, Stram). They might want to be alone, but that’s too scary, but being with people is too much (Ars, Lyc, Stram)… that’s a scary vicious circle on Halloween night! Like Chamomilla, they don’t don’t want anyone near them for fear of being touched (Stram) or being struck by someone coming toward them (Bell, Stram). Birds, real and imagined; lying down in bed; monsters and they may dream of ghosts.
👻 Halloween connection: Think of the last of the pack of trick or treaters, alone in the dark, jumping at the slightest noise, imagining they’ve been jabbed or struck with something. They are chilly and can’t wait to get back to their warm home and eat their highly anticipated sweet treats. Lycopodium is a big, bold and underlined fearful remedy. They are afraid of being outside (agoraphobia) (Ars, Stram) and being alone but to make matters worse, they might want to be alone but they are also averse company (Ars, Stram). The Lycopodium child may want to hold mom’s hand (Puls, Stram). They may fear being away from home (Ars). They may be fearful in bed, but they may also wet the bed (but they might also be fearful of wetting the bed). They may fear bugs (Ars, Puls, Stram) and cats (Stram) and crowds, and public places (Phos, Puls) and monsters and the dark. Sadness or depression with their fear (Ars, Kali-c). Fearful after eating (Carb-v). Constant fear of everything (Ars, Phos, Puls, Stram). A few stranger fears of Lycopodium which may be troublesome on Halloween:
Phosphorus is one of our “scarediest” remedies. Once again, they are afraid of being alone… in the dark… at night. Ghosts and insects and monsters (Ars, Puls, Stram), rats and noises (Stram) are all overpowering, causing them to cry (Ars) and startle. If there is a thunderstorm on the way, watch out. And, watch out cuz there might be some diarrhea (Ars, Puls) with a Phosphorus fear. They have terrible dreams and they may jump when they are touched (Bell). Being in crowds, crossing the street, electricity and even their friends. Causeless fear, cemeteries, and waiting for something to come creeping out of the corner (are all shared with Stramonium). 👻 Halloween connection: White phosphorus glows green in the dark — one of the closest things science has to offer as a ghost — if one sees ghosts everywhere, that can lead one to being fearful all the time (Ars, Puls)… of everything. Phosphorus was what was on the match heads — think of lightning (Bell) and the startling response it can cause. Pulsatilla Ghosts are a big one for Pulsatilla with visions, fears and dreams of them. Puls also has a big fear of being alone but more specific to Pulsatilla is the fear of being abandoned or being left alone (Ars, Camph) or neglected (Ars). Yet, they may be afraid of people. Going to sleep (Ars, Phos), bugs, spiders (Stram) and snakes (Ars), too.
🎃 Halloween connection: October is considered a windy month in many places —as the fall winds usher in the new season — windy and unsettled, just like Pulsatilla. They are weeping and clinging and need their hand held as they make their way through the haunted house or through the neighborhood streets. Stramonium can be an angry remedy and their fear might alternate with rage (Bell). They are afraid of being alone, wanting to hold mom’s hand (Kali-c, Puls) and want light and company (Bell) and they are better from company (Ars, Bell). Stramonium is our biggest fear of the dark in this group of remedies. Halloween must be a tough day for someone in need of Stramonium. They have a fear of something creeping out from every corner (Phos). They are afraid of black/dark colors (Ars). And, don’t post them next to someone who is dressed as Big Bird — they have a fear of feathers, too. Bugs, flies, spiders, cats (Lyc), ghosts, monsters, wolves (Bell), graves and cemeteries (Phos). You might want to skip the hall of mirrors, lest he should see himself. Their fear of animals and dogs…especially black dogs (Bell)… goes further than our other remedies in that they fear being devoured by them (Bell). There is a fear of being attacked or bitten (Bell) and hallucinations of being pursued by ghosts. 😱 Halloween connection: Nightmares! They are terrorized in the dark and need some company and some light (but not direct light). Please remember there are many more important fearful remedies, these are just some common homeopathic remedies referencing ghosts and goblins, not fear in general. Heck, there are even many more ghost and goblin remedies, too!  Goblins Frans Vermeulen’s Synoptic Reference says the name of Cobaltum metallicum comes from the German word for goblin, Kobold. Miners would find a promising bit of ore and as soon as smelting began, it would vanish in a poisonous stench. The miners blamed the kobolds (goblins), but it turns out it was the toxic arsenic trioxide vapors, not the goblins that were the cause.  Witches My favorite witch is named Hazel — Hamamelis virginiana (aka, Witch Hazel). Back to Vermeulen for some information on Hamamelis, (this time from Prisma), who surmises the connection to witches comes from “the peculiar ‘magical’ seed dispersal of the plant: their expulsion takes place with such force that it suggests witchcraft.… Another explanation is the use of the twigs by the early settlers in Virginia [in about 1700] for water divining and for discovering precious metals.” He goes on to say that others dispute the origin of the name and posit that “it comes from the word ‘wych,’ which has nothing to do with witches but is related to Anglo-Saxon ‘wicken’, to bend, or Old English ‘wich,’ quick or loving, or possibly even to the modern word, ‘switch.’” Another witchy connection is with Stramonium (see above). Alphonse Teste says, “Thron-apple, vulgarly termed stinkweed and witch-herb, on account of the fantastic visions which these poor imbeciles procured with it, and which they believed to be real.” (See also, Anger & Fear for more on Stramonium.) Gibson tells us: “All down history the various species of Datura*** have been used as medicaments and intoxicants. The medieval witches’ salves consisted primarily of black henbane and thom-apple; the hallucinations they produced were considered to have been real even after the intoxication and mental derangement had worn off.” Apparently, Stramonium was part of the recipe to make people think they were flying. Are witches in the repertory, too? Yup. Again, from Murphy: Dreams of witches: Agaricus and Stramonium. Agaricus muscarius is a bit of a spooky remedy in itself, so let’s take a very quick look at it. Agaricus is made from the mushroom of fairy tales. Don’t let the jolly red cap fool you, though, cuz it’s poisonous.  I asked Venice AI to make me a fairy tale version of this mushroom, which really is just a cleaned up version of the actual mushroom. Roger Morrison tells of an Agaricus case where someone is preoccupied with morbid thoughts… thoughts about graveyards, coffins and they had “an element of spookiness about them.” A strange rubric: Mind, Insanity, general, madness - graveyards visits. (Agar-3, Bell/Stram-1). I had no idea Halloween was so rich in remedies! Julia Coyte, CHom Classically Practical homeopath #wellnessawaits *There is a lot of cross-over with these remedies. I did not cross reference every rubric — my purpose was to give an overview of each of these fearful remedies. **Most of these remedies are excellent for scared children, actually, especially Belladonna, Chamomilla, Lycopodium, Phosphorus and Pulsatilla. ***Datura is a group of highly poisonous, night-blooming plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae).

 Next up in my series on aging, "It's Never Too Late," is #2, Balance issues. What causes balance issues? Inner ear disorders, head injuries, neurological conditions and even medical issues such as diabetes, heart disease and thyroid problems, or, medications could be the culprit, too. In other words — it could be hard to find out what is causing these balance issues. There are a lot of avenues to investigate. It could make your head spin! Did I mention vertigo is a common cause of balance issues? One of the beautiful aspects of homeopathy is we don’t need to know if it’s a thyroid problem or an inner ear disturbance. We only need to know what symptoms play out with these balance issues. Can it help if we know the cause? Sure, but it’s not necessary. Let me be clear here, though. I am not suggesting to skip the investigation. Definitely figure it out with the help of a medical professional. Signs and symptoms of balance problems include (Mayo Clinic 2018):
This could become a long article with lots of twists and turns (a little vertigo-causing itself it could be, actually!) but we’re not going there. We’re going to make it simple. We’re going to look at the top homeopathic remedies for vertigo, dizziness, falling and the sensation of falling. Calcarea carbonica, Calc carb for short. Clumsy, awkward, falls easily. Feet may turn inward when walking. Get tired from a short walk. There may be a tendency to fall to either side, particularly the left side, or backward. Vertigo can be caused by turning the head, looking upward or going upstairs/uphill. This is an excellent remedy for the elderly in and of itself, regardless of a tendency to fall. Cocculus indicus has a fear of falling and a tendency to fall to either side. Cocculus has an affinity for the spine, and especially of its motor nerves. “There may be a weakness in the small of the back, as if paralyzed; the small of the back gives out when walking; the soles of the feet feel as if they were asleep; the thighs ache as if they had been pounded; first one hand then the other goes to sleep; sometimes the whole arm falls asleep … These symptoms lie at the foundation of the symptomatology of the whole drug; they all seem to depend upon spinal weakness” (Farrington 2010). In most cases which respond well to Cocculus, there is some component of vertigo at play and may be accompanied by nausea which may be worse in a sitting position or when changing from a reclining to a sitting position. Natrum muriaticum. Nat-mur has a fear of falling, too. With vertigo, this remedy has a tendency to fall forward or to the left. The vertigo feels as if they are falling and may be worse standing near a window (or looking out of a window) or on closing the eyes and is improved when lying with the head propped high. Vertigo may be worse in the morning, especially when getting out of bed and occasionally the vertigo may be accompanied by nausea or nosebleeds. Nux vomica fears falling, too, but particularly in the afternoon. (Homeopathy never fails to amaze me with its odd specificities!) With vertigo, a person who may benefit from Nux vomica isn’t so particular which way they fall: forward, backward or to the side. The vertigo of Nux-v feels as if the brain (and other objects) turn in a circle. Rhus toxicodendron tends to fall backward, forward, or, to the right. It’s a major remedy for the tendency to fall when rising from bed. Or, they may have the sensation as if they would fall over. There may be a fear of death or a weakness of memory during the vertigo. Vertigo may be worse when lying down. Rhus tox is also noted in a form of vertigo common in old age which gives a sensation of confusion and dullness (Choudhuri 2016). Stramonium popped up in the search as the only remedy listed for the following: tends to fall backward while walking; tends to fall in the dark; tends to fall to the right while sitting or rising from bed from a sitting position. There is also a tendency to hallucinations that they are falling. Vertigo is worse walking in the dark or when the eyes are closed. A few other remedies with some particular falling tendencies (single remedy rubrics): Phosphorus for vertigo with a tendency to fall from a chair. Causticum tends to fall to the left while looking upward. Spigelia tends to fall while looking down. Strength and balance training are always a good thing, despite your age. I know nothing about Elderlygym.com, but they had some good, common sense information and some clever exercises to get started on reclaiming your balance. Or, find a well-qualified yoga or pilates teacher who has experience working with people your age. If you (or a loved one) finds yourself no longer vertical on a regular basis, get it checked out. “To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.” Victor Hugo. Homeopathy can help with both. Julia Coyte, CHom Classically Practical homeopath #wellnessawaits Reference list

One of the first remedies I gave my (then) young son after beginning to study homeopathy was Stramonium. He was about 9, I think, and my previously easy-going young fellow had become pretty surly. To paint the picture, he had previously had a good relationship with the after-school tutor who had been helping all 3 of my boys at various times for a few years. They would sit at the dining room table when I was cooking dinner and they chatted nicely and joked as she explained to him how this thing called “math” worked. Then, one day, he just became unpleasant and rude to her. It was not just with the tutor, but that relationship provided the clearest display of what was happening. I had learned recently about the homeopathic remedy Stramonium and I ordered a tube because it sounded like a pretty good fit for him. As the days went by, waiting for the remedy to arrive in the mail, I hoped that it was actually just a passing phase and my pleasant son would return. My hopes went unanswered. As luck would have it, the Stramonium arrived in the middle of a tutoring session. I opened the package and popped a couple of pellets in his mouth. A few minutes later, he said, “what did you just give me? It has made me really angry!” I have to admit that I panicked for a minute. What had I done? (In hindsight, a lower potency probably would have been better.) But, a few minutes later, he calmed way down after a short-lived aggravation*. I don’t think I ever actually gave him a second dose of Stramonium and his old, pleasant self soon returned. What is Stramonium and how can it possibly have this effect? Stramonium is made from jimson weed, a nightshade relative of tomatoes, eggplants and tobacco, and is known to trigger psychosis when ingested (Mental Health Daily 2015). All parts of this plant are toxic and in its raw state can cause convulsions, hallucinations and even death if ingested (Nafici 2016). The bloom itself is quite striking, but the seedpod (see top photo) is a better depiction of what this plant is all about. Jimson weed, also known as “locoweed,” “mad-apple” “thorn-apple” and “stinkweed” is “UNSAFE [original author's emphasis] when taken by mouth or inhaled” and “contains chemicals such as atropine, hyoscyamine and scopolamine” which “interfere with one of the chemical messengers (acetylcholine) in the brain and nerves” (Rxlist.com 2021) and can be fatal in high doses (Charmley 2022). Alrighty then! Message received — keep a safe distance from the plant itself! (If you or your pet do come in contact with this plant, call Poison Control at 1.800.222.1222.) “Jimson weed poisoning is found primarily among adolescents who seek the hallucinogenic effects of the plant” (Chan 2002) but it can also harm animals (Guthrie 2014) and makes the list of the “10 common poisonous plants” (Charmley 2022). (A quick search of the internet turns up many news articles of teens ending up in trouble from smoking or ingesting this weed.) Many of homeopathy’s most powerful medicines come from the most poisonous substances on the planet: Belladonna, Hemlock, Aconite… the list goes on because as we know in homeopathy, “Like cures Like.” What does that even mean? "Like cures like" means the symptoms or conditions which can be created or caused by a substance in its natural state can then be “cured” through the use of the potentized homeopathic version of the same substance. (See also, “Hom, not home”.) Indeed, one of the ways we find out the healing properties of homeopathic remedies is through historical accounts of poisonings. Take for instance Socrates, the Greek philosopher who was sentenced to death in 399 BC by drinking a hemlock liquid mixture — his symptoms were recorded by Plato in his book Phaedo (Dayan 2009). Plato told of the slowly ascending paralysis which crept up his legs and resulted in death when the paralysis reached the respiratory muscles. Enid Bloch researched the veracity of this account and discovered Scottish toxicologists of the 19th century conducted their own experiments and found similar effects. John Harley, author of The Old Vegetable Neurotics, poisoned himself and recorded the physiological effects, again confirming Plato’s account. As a result, we have a good homeopathic picture of what Conium maculatum (Poison Hemlock) can do. (For this article, suffice it to say that homeopathic Conium can help with feelings of constrictions, indurations, nodules and tumors; conditions where the symptoms move upwards; it is highly indicated in a number of coughs, especially when lying down; sensations of heaviness and weakness, and, finally, progressive weakness, even to the point of paralysis.) Samuel Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy, “found that the more he diluted his medicines, the more the toxic impact of their original substance was washed away. And, he found something else that was even more surprising: that the more dilute the medicines became, the more powerful they became in terms of their healing power” (McCabe 2010). McCabe goes on to speak of the homeopath E.B. Nash (1838-1917) who said, ‘the stronger the poison the stronger the cure.’ “Homeopathic remedies, when given in micro dose, have no toxicity left. But it is also true that they retain their inherent medicinal strength, making the remedies taken from poisonous substances particularly curative.” How these diluted solutions actually work eludes scientists to this day. Back to jimson weed… Along with the hallucinations, Charmley lists “aggressive or unusual behavior” as one of the dangers of consuming this plant. Dewitt (et al. 1997) lists “combative” behavior. Homeopathyonline.org (2013) says “the idea of Stramonium is we have lived through a night of terror … but more commonly the terror is internalized.” A person or a child has seen or experienced something frightening and that fright got stuck inside them. Morrison (1998) lists a “change of character” and “rages.” “Terror. Night-terrors. Feeling of threat or violence.” Boger (2015) lists “DREADS DARKNESS … Fearful, desires company or wants to escape … talks incessantly … wildly excited … or does all sorts of crazy things. Raving mania … cursing … Awakes in fear or screaming.” How do these internal terrors express themselves? Often through rage which shows itself with a red face. Or, rage alternating with laughing; rage with cursing and hitting, even an uncontrollable, violent rage. Stramonium is one of only 5 remedies listed in Murphy’s Repertory for rage and fury in children. It doesn’t have to get to this level though. Those symptoms listed above are extreme examples. Like all homeopathic remedies and their symptoms, there is a range of expression. Stramonium is also used for plain old anger: those who are easily angered and those who are angry from being frightened. It’s a good remedy for those who get angry as a result of anxiety and for temper tantrums. It was the idea of temper tantrums that caught my attention all those years ago. I realized that was what my young son was doing. It wasn't like the temper tantrums of a toddler, this was different, but very much the same -- an unreasonable bout of anger, out of reach of logic. Where else is Stramonium useful? For those suffering from fear: fear of being alone, (especially children), as well as fear of being alone in the darkness — they want light and company. Fear of animals and dreams of scary creatures. Fears of being attacked or bitten. Claustrophobia, the fear of going to the doctor, fear of ghosts and imaginary things. The fear of being injured, the fear of mirrors in a room, and being afraid of monsters and scary noises. As you can see, Stramonium is an excellent homeopathic remedy for frightened and/or angry children. Was my son exhibiting fearful behavior at this same time? I don't remember now and I didn't have the knowledge to look for such things then. Did my son see some show or read some story that freaked him out and got stuck in his head? Possibly, but I’ll never know for sure. What I do know is homeopathic Stramonium removed that layer of anger from him, regardless of where it originated, and returned to me the sweet young fellow I knew him to be. Julia Coyte, CHom Classically Practical homeopath #wellnessawaits * Remember, an aggravation is considered a good thing in classical homeopathy. It is an exacerbation of the existing problem. The pendulum swings further in the direction of the problem and then corrects itself soon after, resulting in equilibrium. Reference list:

Julia Coyte, CHomI 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.
