Homeopathic Remedies

ARSENICUM: White oxide of Metallic Arsenic.
Another mineral poisonous in its natural state but a great healer when used Homeopathically .This remedy affects every organ and tissue. There is disorganized blood and the patient feels weak and collapsed. He is demanding and asks for sips of water all the time which do not quench his thirst. Weakness and emaciation is rapid, and the patient is extremely restless. There is agonizing fear of death and they are worse at midnight. There are severe burning pains. The appearance of the patient will determine whether they need Aconite or Arsenicum -The Arsenicum patient is deathly to look at -the Aconite bright eyes and a full bounding pulse Very useful in any gastric complaint such as food poisoning ,or where there is a collapse.

BELLADONNA: Again a deadly poison in its natural state.
This remedy is a stand-by in life for almost all fevers and throbbing pulsating pains. The appearance of the patient is of a bright red face -dilated pupils and extreme fever with radiant heat coming off the skin. Behaviour may be delirious and the patient may be completely violent, even barking and crawling round the floor. The patient does not generally recognize his attendants and may attack them biting and spitting "barking mad". In cases of high fever there will be rapid relief of all symptoms the patient usually falling into a natural sleep waking cured in the morning. The cause of the symptoms does not matter - it is the "picture of the patient" that Homeopaths observe and prescribe for. Thus in meningitis while getting medical help it would be appropriate to give Belladonna and Arnica frequently, i.e. every 5 minutes. This is a common occurrence for me. Patients have often phoned over the years in a panic over their children who appear to have symptoms of meningitis. As they keep common remedies at home such as these it is therefore an easy matter to give this advice and start treatment. There have always been good results to everyone's relief.

BRYONIA. Bryonia Alba. White Bryony. Tincture of root obtained before flowering.
A vegetable remedy which cured Hahnemann of severe chest infections in the last 10 years of his life. Its chief characteristic is that all symptoms are much worse for any movement causing severe pain. Therefore the patient wishes to lie still and, if possible, will lie facing the wall so as not to have any stimulus even by turning his eyes to look at something. This remedy saved my son's life at 15 months of age. He collapsed in the bath in front of his twin sister, older sister and his father and I. I could not resuscitate him even being well versed in resuscitation techniques as a trained nurse. He was motionless and not responding to any stimulus. I was inspired to give him Bryonia after praying not to give up hope after the statutory 3 minutes. He gave a huge gasp, the colour rushed back into his face and he was back. I have never forgotten this and it is my mission in life to educate as many people as I can in my lifetime to learn about Homeopathy and its uses.

CALC. CARB. Impure calcium carbonate .A trituration of the middle layer of oyster shells. Also made from carbonate of lime precipitated from a solution of chalk in hydrochloric acid.
A mineral remedy of great use in the whole system Where the body is slow to develop in the bone glands and tissues causing deficient growth and slow healing. For example in young children there is a flabbiness about them, physically and reflected mentally and emotionally. There is lack of reaction when ill and when trying to recover from illnesses in particular glandular and chest problems causing the disease to linger. Children are slow to teethe and walk and talk late. Comprehension is there but with slow reaction. My eldest daughter was very late in all aspects of her development - as a young child her teeth were very late in appearing and she didn't walk or talk until 3 years of age. In fact she would not put her feet to the ground to weight bear or walk, preferring to bum shuffle. She is now a healthy, strong 25 year old although very sensitive - the good thing is it makes her very perceptive of other peoples' needs and an excellent photographer!

CALC. PHOS. Phosphate of lime. Tricalcic Phosphate.
A mixture of the basic and other phosphates of lime, made by dropping dilute phosphoric acid into lime water. Similar to Calc Carb but has its own characteristic symptoms. Affects nutrition of bones and glands Promotes mending of bones in fractures and comforts in growing pains experienced by children. It assists in resolving swollen glands. Useful in school children who get bad headaches from studying and in teenagers who grow too quickly without the corresponding tissue and feel weak - "outgrow their strength".

CALENDULA. Calendula officinalis. Marigold. Tincture of leaves and flowers.
A healing agent in open sore or lacerated wounds .Very effective if given in remedy form with external dressings made from the tincture applied where needed. Has the power to staunch bleeding used in its undiluted tincture. Keeps wounds free from infection. In Germany it is used as an anti-cancer remedy internally on a daily basis. It keeps the blood clean and helps prevent septicaemia.
