Belladonna. It means “Beautiful Woman” in that most poetic of languages, Italian. Our history tells us that the herb was made into eye drops to cause the pupils to dilate, thus making the eyes look more seductive. A ruse perhaps once employed by the Venetian courtesans? In any case, that falls under the category of “Don’t try this at home!”
Belladonna in gross form is very poisonous and ingestion of even a small amount can cause death. Not for no reason did my mother call it “deadly nightshade!” When I was a child, she made the plant known to me, and I steered clear — by no means tempted to sample the wares of the Grim Reaper. (more…)
“Sweet!” crowed Travis, the 16-year-old, as he rose up with renewed strength.
Just hours ago, Travis had been suffering from a 103-degree fever, pounding headache and relentless nausea. After three doses of Belladonna 30C and a much-needed nap, this pale, emotional child was made whole.
Since it was Saturday night, this meant he would be able to go to his school dance.
His parents had no reservations. (more…)
All God’s creatures, great and small? Okay … bumblebees, butterflies, bunnies.
Got it. But bedbugs?
Oh, I think not! Bedbugs are not nice, not fluffy, not useful at all.
They can lie dormant in your walls for a year without feeding, and then suddenly wake up hungry for blood.
They can latch on to you in hotels, on busses, in dentists’ offices … anywhere people gather, sit, and can drop a critter or its eggs.
Bedbugs are dirty, disgusting, and demoralizing.
They creep, they crawl, and they cause a lot of alliteration in this blog. (more…)

The office phone rang, and my assistant directed me to pick up line 2.
“Hello.”
“He’s gone!” It was a female voice dripping with desperation.
“Who’s gone … and by the way, who’s calling?”
“It’s Sandy, Joette, and my son is GONE!”
My thoughts dashed to automobile accidents, and I braced myself for bad news. (more…)
Homeopathy is fast becoming the medicine of choice for families who are sick and tired of being dependent on drugs that often cause more problems than the original sufferings.
Ok, ok, I’ll admit, Darvon works. Indeed, it kills pain, but after having been prescribed for 50+ years, it was banned from the marketplace for causing deaths in people who innocently took it for their pain. And what was the cause of death? It was cardiac arrest in those who had no previous nor family history of such. Quite a price to pay for something that could easily have been resolved with the use of a simple, inexpensive homeopathic remedy such as Belladonna, Arnica or Hypericum. If only those folks and their families knew before they filled the prescription. (more…)
Forget the mornings … sometimes this awful sensation can last all day! However, not with homeopathy. Unlike many modern medical methods, homeopathy has no side effects or detriments to the baby. In fact, one of the best times to use homeopathy is during pregnancy.
Choose a Remedy
Choose one of the remedies below that most closely fits the symptoms at hand, and for most moms, if the remedy is taken twice daily for 1-10 days, there’s often a nice shift. That’s how we know it’s time to stop using the remedy. If the symptoms return, then it’s time to resume its use.
You probably can relate to this situation I experienced early in my homeopathy journey. I knew the power of homeopathy based on the amazing cures that I had experienced in my own life and the lives of others, including my pets and livestock. Still, I sometimes found myself at a loss when a well-meaning friend or relative asserted that homeopathy has no scientific proof or research to back it up.
Quite the contrary is actually true. Homeopathy has a rich history of research behind it. In fact, its discoverer, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, was a methodical scientist in his exploration of the principle that “like cures like.” Unfortunately for his family, in the very beginning, some of his research consisted of conducting “provings” on them and documenting their symptoms. I’m sure it made for lively dinner conversation. What symptoms am I going to develop this week? (more…)
