Homeopathic Remedies

SILICA: Silicea terra. Pure flint. Trituration of pure precipitated Silica.
It is an evacuant remedy and helpful in encouraging the healing of wounds which have continued festering and/or have been slow to heal. It gives strength, resilience and courage on a mental/emotional level and has an affinity with the spine. Old coccygeal injuries will heal under its influence. It should be remembered that the coccyx is the tail bone which would give us direction - if injured we can lose our sense of purpose in life. In childbirth there is often damage to the coccyx as it bends away to allow more room in the birth canal for the child to pass through. I believe that this the reason that so many women suffer loss of identity after the birth of their baby and go on to suffer post natal depression. It has a special affinity with the spine giving it a more upright flexible quality - this is reflected internally on a spiritual level.

SPIGELIA: Spigelia anthelmia. Demerara pink root. Tincture of dried herb.
A remedy for nerve pain to be compared with Hypericum. It especially affects the nerves of the face and neck -the trifacial nerves. Pain is intolerable as of hot wires (shingles) and is helpful to sufferers of rheumatism. There is severe pain around the eyes and profuse watering of the eyes. Palpitation of the heart is its other sphere of action. The palpitations can be heard and is violent. It is a symptom of inflammation of the pericardium the outer lining of the heart.

SULPHUR: Brimstone. Trituration of "Flower of sulphur".
Known as "the great awakener" this remedy is of use in every case. If you are not sure what to do a dose of Sulphur often makes the picture clearer and is useful where cases do not seem to clear up properly. A dose of Sulphur will often deal with remaining symptoms. It is helpful where there are digestive symptoms and like Podophyllum has the characteristic of early morning diarrhoea.

THLASPI (BURSA PASTORIS): Capsella bursa pastoris. Shepherd's Purse. Tincture of fresh flowering plant.
This old remedy stops bleeding in any part of the body and also has a strong affinity with the urinary system. In women bleeding with pregnancy or childbirth it is very helpful. It is a great remedy for any urinary problems especially stones in the kidney and bladder which it will help to pass.

URTICA URENS: Stinging nettle. Tincture of fresh plant in flower.
As a lotion it is helpful in relieving the pain and healing of minor burns which sting and burn. As a remedy it is helpful in continuing the work of the external lotion relieving the pain and in breast feeding women as it stimulates the production of breast milk.

Mentally there is delirium and delusions, the patient often behaving in a patronizing, rude manner to people attempting to help. They cut and tear their clothes and other peoples' in their delusions. Their language is often offensive and may be sexually overt alternating with religious mania. There is an exaggerated sense of their own importance and whistling is often characteristic.
