Homeopathic Health Tips

 

The Philosophy of Homeopathy

Homeopathy was founded 200 years ago by Samuel Hahnemann, a German

physician. Homeopathy accepts that the natural state of the body is one

of health and that we have the natural ability to heal ourselves. What

we think of as " symptoms " are the body's efforts to protect itself

against disease. Instead of suppressing symptoms, we need to stimulate

the body's own healing process with homeopathic remedies to bring about

a cure.

 

 

Abdominal Flu

Stomach or abdominal flu is characterized by nausea, vomiting,

intestinal cramping, and diarrhea. Fever can also be present in some

individuals. Take homeopathic Ipecac to relieve these symptoms.

 

 

Allergic Hives

People with certain food or contact allergies can develop raised, red,

itchy whelps after exposure to their allergen. Homeopathic Urtica Urens

brings symptomatic relief for hives. Seek constitutional homeopathic

care to resolve the allergy itself.

 

 

Anemia

Iron deficiency anemia can be characterized by fatigue, headache, and

poor concentration. A balanced diet along with a vegetable-based iron

supplement should correct this condition. Consider also homeopathic

Ferrum Phosphoricum to aid assimilation of dietary iron.

 

 

Bone Pain With Flu

Many flu sufferers complain about the pain they seem to feel in their

bones. This pain can occur with or without fever. For any stiffness or

bruised feeling during flu, take homeopathic Eupatorium Perfoliatum as

the label directs.

 

 

Bruising

Bruising occurs with injuries when the small capillaries under the skin

become damaged. Small amounts of blood then drain into the area.

Homeopathic Arnica will resolve the bruising quickly. If you bruise

easily and are otherwise healthy, consider supplementing with vitamins C

and K to strengthen capillary walls.

 

 

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a chronic digestive disorder caused by a hereditary

intolerance to gluten (a component in wheat, spelt, rye, oats, barley,

triticale, and kamut). (Certainly stress can be a factor to consider as

well.) Inflammation, diarrhea and pain are just a few of the problems

that may be experienced. Homeopathic Aloe Vera can bring temporary

relief while you consider constitutional homeopathy as an alternative.

 

 

Dental Filling Pain

If pain persists after a dental filling, take homeopathic Arnica every

20-30 minutes until the pain is relieved. Before having your filling,

speak to your dentist about alternatives to mercury-containing amalgam fillings.

 

 

Eyestrain

Eyestrain and headaches resulting from eyestrain often occur in computer

users, those needing a change in their prescription lenses, and in those

who are getting used to wearing bifocal lenses. Homeopathic Gelsemium,

taken as the label directs, can relieve this condition.

 

 

Fatigue After Flu

Fatigue and low energy can linger after a bout of the flu. To help your

health get back on track, take homeopathic Kali Phosphoricum as the

label directs. During this period, eat healthy, easy-to-digest food,

drink plenty of water and insure adequate sleep.

 

 

Fear of Illness

Oftentimes fear of illness can be crippling, interrupting the thought

and peace of mind of sufferers. Homeopathic Arsenicum Album taken as the

label recommends can help to ease fears relating to illness.

 

 

Focus on Spigelia

Spigelia (made from the pinkroot plant) is often used for left-sided

headaches that start in the neck and radiate over the head to above the

left eye. This homeopathic remedy is also effective against many cases

of left-sided trigeminal neuralgia.

 

 

Insomnia

Insomnia can result after late hours of work or study. Homeopathic Nux

Vomica, taken as the label directs, can insure a good night's sleep.

 

 

Jet Lag

Jet lag can ruin the beginning of a trip whether it's for business or

pleasure. Travel across time zones disrupts the body's normal rhythms.

Use homeopathic Cocculus Indicus (Indian cockle tree) before your flight

and upon arriving at your destination. Many flight attendants can attest

to its benefit.

 

 

Pain Reliever

Homeopathic Chamomilla is often thought of as a children's remedy, but

can be just as effective for adults. Chamomilla is a wonderful pain

reliever for menstrual cramps, labor pains, earache, and of course, a

baby's colic.

 

 

Pet Tip: Constipation

Constipation can make your pet lethargic and uncomfortable. Homeopathic

Calcarea Carbonicum can relieve the symptoms. Call your vet if this

condition isn't resolved in a day or two.
