Fleas: A Homeopathic Solution

Hi! It’s Buster, “The Bad Office Dog,” again!

As my friends and I pant our way into these long, hot summer days, I want to remind you of something I hate: fleas.

Seriously, how can something so small, be so annoying? (Although, I think my mom may have muttered that same statement about me once under her breath — back when I had my bad-office-dog fits.)

Anyway, I have been a very lucky little boy, because I have never had an issue with fleas. Maybe they don’t bother me because I’m so dapper (as you can see from my bow-tie). But, recently I heard about another friend who had a really rough time.

Laddie was itching and scratching, rubbing and nibbling; he was almost to the point of losing his mind! He kept nibbling at the area just above his tail (the area that seemed the itchiest) until he created little tiny sores on his skin and lost big clumps of hair.

It’s hard to be dapper when you’ve lost clumps of hair.

I wish I had known what poor Laddie was going through because my mom (Joette Calabrese) knows a great homeopathic protocol that she has used before and is happy to share with you.

To relieve the torturous itching, get rid of fleas, and protect against them in the future, she has used Psorinum 200, Ledum palustre 200 and Antimonium crudum 6.  (Remember to add the coupon code “Joette” at checkout at www.BoironUSA.com and receive a 20% discount.)

Here’s how it’s done: At the first sign of a flea attack: one dose of Psorinum 200 every seven days; one dose of Ledum 200 twice a day; one dose of Ant crud 6 two to three times a day. (And remember to scroll to the bottom of this page to receive this information in a free, easy-to-reference remedy card!)

Continue using these medicines, sticking to the same schedule, until the fleas are gone and there is no more scratching or nibbling. Sometimes, the itching can continue after the fleas have gone. So, just make sure that no more symptoms exist before discontinuing this method.

This regimen should also help keep fleas at bay because it creates an inhospitable environment for them. And, believe me, my friends and I are all in favor of creating inhospitable environments for fleas!

By the way, I overheard Mom tell someone that there is an alternative treatment she knows about. This method is using Psorinum 30 once a day until symptoms subside (no Ledum, no Ant crud). Mom has never used this method herself. But, if you are in a situation where you need a simpler remedy, it might be worth a try. Let us know your results in the comments.

Of course, if you want to use something prophylactically (before you see any fleas), there are herbal flea collars available. Just don’t let it interfere with your dog’s bow tie! (I’m telling you, it’s all about being dapper!)

Gotta go …  I see a squirrel …
