The following remedies, used in medium to high potencies, work best for those who are familiar with homeopathy. They should be repeated every 15-30 minutes in severe situations and more infrequently as the pathology becomes less serious. There is nothing wrong with continuing the course of action for a week or even longer, as long as symptoms remain. Here is a short list of the best remedies and their indications to have committed to memory and to have on hand:
1. Bitten | Ledum | 12. Infected | Arsenicum iodatum | |
2. Bled | Vipera | 13. Inflamed | Ferrum phos | |
3. Burned | Urtica urens | 14. Lacerated | Hypericum | |
4. Bruised | Arnica montana | 15. Punctured | Ledum | |
5. Contused | Arnica montana | 16. Poisoned | Arsenicum | |
6. Dislocated | Arnica montana | 17. Suffocated | Carbo veg | |
7. Exerted | Rhus tox | 18. Shocked | Aconitum | |
8. Electrocuted | Phosphorus | 19. Stung | Ledum | |
9. Fatigued | Bioplasma | 20. Over indulged | Nux vomica | |
10. Impaled | Hypericum | 21. Slivered | Silica | |
11. Incised | Calendula |
The more serious the situation, the higher the potency needed of either Arnica or Aconitum. For example, if someone has had a concussion of severity, on the way to the hospital, a 1M potency would be advisable. Offer it every 15 minutes or more until consciousness is restored. If instead, it's only a mild head injury Arnica 30 will often do the trick when offered every 15 minutes or so. You would use a 200 potency for a moderate injury.
The less experience you have, the more important it is to stay with lower potencies such as 30c or 30x. Homeopathy is safe when and only when utilized properly.

Homeopathic “Quit Smoking Protocol”
Before beginning, have your resolve designed. That is, get certain foods, or activities lined up for your psyche and cravings to be supported. For example, if you adore shrimp, make it your treat when the cravings are extreme. Or have your bike ready to go for a quick ride and sweat it out to help realign your metabolism. Don’t begin the program until you’ve made up your mind to do everything you can to stop.
1) Caladium 6x: once daily
2) Calc phos 12x and Nat mur 6x: 2 tabs each dissolved in 4 ounces of hot water, twice daily for months until a change is realized.
3) Avena Sativa tincture: 10 drops in water twice daily.
Contact me with your results. I’d love to hear how you do.
Nutri-Tip!
Dandelions; as kids we loved them, as homeowners we find them annoying. Allow me to encourage you to find your way back to loving them again. It might just bring back childhood memories of joyful summer days. Dandelions make the perfect spring tonic. Just as the flowers emerge, find a clean patch away from traffic and/ or pesticides and pop off the freshest flower heads. If your plot is clean enough and especially if it's just dewed or rained, you needn’t wash them. Skip back to the house and toss in a hot frying pan ready with sizzling butter or coconut oil. Sauté quickly and top a steak or grace an omelet with these pretty little edible flowers. Commanding in taste, dandelions are known for their powerful cleansing and tonic effects so only a few are needed. Delicious, memory filled and nutrient packed…… the perfect accompaniment to spring recollections.
Edu-Tip!
Do you know those pretty yellow flowers that look like dandelions from a distance; the ones that are the first to pop up in the spring? Well, be sure you know what you’re picking, but, they are called Coltsfoot and they come just as spring bronchitis appears. When the flowers are at their peak, pop off the blossoms, fill a jar with the flowers and pour 80-proof vodka to the top of the jar. Devil’s Spring is a convenient brand. Allow this to set for a fortnight (as they say in the old botanical texts). After this 2 week period, you may decant and use as an effective natural cough treatments. If corked tightly, it will last for years.
To use for coughs draw up 10-20 drops into a pipette and drop into 4 ounces of water. This dose is administered every few hours or so. It is much less expensive on the body and the pocket book than antiquated antibiotics. It’s effective and carries no questionable properties. Just like your own homemade soup……your own homemade medicine!
Make sure you and your family are protected from winter illness by insuring the right homeopathic cell salts are a mainstay of their daily regimen. Instead of multivitamins that can cause an imbalance of nutrients, look to Bioplasma made by Hylands. Four little pills 1-3 times daily will ensure a high level nutrient intake and since it’s homeopathically prepared, it’s gentle.
