Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go! And to your sister’s and brother’s and maybe another’s and stuffing and eggnog and pies, oh my…before you know it, the holiday becomes a time of over eating and over drinking. So what can we do to prepare? Keep these must-have remedies on hand and be prepared for unending feasting.
The best way to use these homeopathic remedies is to take one dose every 3-4 hours over the period of 1-2 days. When improved, stop.
1) When over eating has caused nausea that you wish would just produce vomiting to get it over with, then your remedy is Nux vomica 30.
2) Nux vomica is also a capitol choice for the proverbial hangover. It will end nausea and vomiting in relatively short order.
3) When relentless vomiting is the main symptom, try Ipecac 30.
4) When there is simple indigestion and over acidity, then Nat phos 6x can be taken every hour. Use in place of antacids.
5) For true food poisoning such that causes chills, stomach pains and anxiety then Arsenicum album 30 should be taken. This is best saved for when your turkey is tainted.
6) And one more tip for good measure! For indigestion, add a splash of vinegar to a glass of water and drink. It will bring soothing relief.
Try these tried and true homeopathic remedies this year and you might just find it easier to enjoy yourself – Happy Thanksgiving!
I am a homeopath with a worldwide practice working with families and individuals via Zoom. I'm also a teacher and most importantly, a mom who raised my now-adult children depending on homeopathy over the last 31 years. I lived decades of my life with food intolerances, allergies, and chemical sensitivities until I was cured with homeopathy, so I understand pain, anxiety, and suffering. You may feel that your issues are more severe or different than anyone else’s, but I have seen it all in my practice and in my work in India. My opinion is that nothing has come close to the reproducible, safe and effective results that my clients, students and I have achieved with homeopathy.

I hope it is a holiday filled with enjoyment made even more enjoyable by the practice of reasonable restraint rather than excesses & overindulgence. Thank you. It is good to know none the less. Happy Thanksgiving!
The nat phos sure came in handy. Thanks for the reminder!!
I never heard that you could use vinegar to settle an upset stomach…i tried it out though because the baking soda always tastes sooo bad.
Always good reminders during the holidays! Thanks for posting!
Thanks, Noel! We’re glad you find it useful.
“relentless vomiting, Ipecac 30.” I heard Ipecac is more about the nausea but it works for the relentless vomiting too?
Yes, it covers this and much, much more. Read your materia medica and you’ll find it useful in many other settings as well. Happy studying!
