It is powerful, usually right on the mark and if we deny its existence, we're always sorry later. Yes, mother's intuition is real.
Today, many have lost the confidence our strong ancestors had built into them. Drugs are handed out like candy. In fact, if refused, we are often met with angry words and condescension. There is a better way that many mothers instinctively understand; a way that is safer, non invasive and yields stronger and often better adjusted children. It is the way of nature, of homeopathy, of intelligent mothering.
There was a time when mother's instincts were accepted and respected as the norm. My Sicilian grandmothers birthed their babies at home, treated colds and infectious diseases with a good dose of sweat, sleep and garlic and nursed their big families through many ills without the aid of doctors, clinics and hospitals. Were they better off? I believe they were, for their offspring were free of the scourge of modern society such as allergies, autism, depression, ADD, sterility and a host of modern illness that only this generation is plagued with.
Homeopaths and other natural health care providers regard the use of drugs to be not only detrimental to our children's health, but also the cause of many, if not most, of the ills of today's society. Each of the above illness can be attributed to the use of drugs and their kin.
Yet, we can hold on to the old ways. The ways of knowing deeply how to care for our children and to trust our children's bodies to be able to do what is intended. That is, to grow up without a medicament for every little ill.
Women throughout history have relied on homeopathy for everything from ear infections to head injuries. I urge families to own a few choice homeopathy books and a homeopathy kit. Once this little system is in place, everything a family needs is readily available.
It can be difficult to resist the temptation to give our children drugs. After all, we only want what is best for them. And we certainly don't want them to suffer the pain of an ear infection or a sore throat. But, if we understand that the medications of commerce will often cause further suffering in the future, the choice becomes an easy one.
Homeopathy forces us to really know and observe our children to make the correct remedy choice and keeps us focused on what matters…our family. In a world that encourages moms to leave the home early in lieu of careerism, homeopathy, instead, celebrates the home, the cuddle and the right dose of discipline. Instead of dragging our children from specialist to specialist, moms can treat children in the kitchen while making an old fashioned meal. Isn't that what we were meant to do?
We need to trust our innate ability to treat our children without interference. To make choices that are based on what is best for our family as a whole. Homeopathy is rational medicine that supports mother's intuition and family to the fullest. Time honored traditions, time honored care. It just feels right.

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. So I entreat you to learn as much as you can and when you're finished, learn a little more. If you're unsure, call us for a consultation. We're always in the ready.

Sunburns, like chicken wings can be mild, medium or hot! Keep the following handy as the summer progresses to keep the heat down. First and foremost, never leave for a long weekend or vacation without your homeopathy kit. If you don't own one, contact us (above)…we have a selection to fit all budgets.
My remedy of choice is to always consider Cantharis first. It's useful for all sorts of burns including scalds and chemical burns, so sunburns usually respond well. Use a potency that matches the severity of the burn. This means; the more severe the burn, the higher the potency. For mild sunburn a 6c, 12c or 30c is likely to do the trick. For a more alarming incident; that is, one with severe pain, chills, blistering, etc. and only if you have knowledge of homeopathic medicine use a 200c.
Generally speaking in acute situations, the more severe the pathology, the more frequently the remedy needs to be repeated. So if the sunburn is moderate, very red but without blistering, and you're using a 30c potency, you might offer it every 30-60 minutes to keep the pain from ensuing. In fact, use pain as your indicator as to repetition.
If after giving Cantharis, there is no improvement, consider two other remedies. Urtica urens is the remedy of choice if the pain has a prickly, stingy or itchy sensation. In fact, if the sensation is of this nature from the beginning, then start with this remedy and don't bother with Cantharis. For a deep, severe burn use Causticum. The more severe the burn, the more likely that Causticum is the correct remedy. Causticum is also handy for old burns that have taken a long time to heal. You should see a change in intensity of symptoms within 30-40 minutes of taking the correct remedy.
I also like to use cell salts as an intercurrent with higher potency remedies. So, for instance, once it's established whether Cantharis or Urtica urens is the correct remedy; then offer Kali mur 6x every 30 minutes or so to bring down the discomfort and pain. As always, when improved, stop administering. Topical ointments or tinctures can also be soothing. Try coconut oil, aloe vera gel or Calendula tincture. But to be honest, you'll likely find the homeopathic remedy to be enough. The entire picture is resolve with the remedies, pain is just the indicator. Peeling may still ensue but not as severely. A sunburn isn't a day at the beach. But don't worry, homeopathy, as always, has the solution.

Sometimes we hear folks condemn the U.S. I’ve been guilty of it myself. Certainly, there is much we can improve upon, but it’s clear that America has a capacity for heralding good in many corners of our world.
When my Sicilian grandparents stepped onto American soil a century ago, they were overwhelmed by gratitude and hope having found the country of their dreams. Here is where they would have a chance……an opportunity to develop their independent and triumphant spirits.
Where else might they have gone where a country was actually founded on the principles of freedoms and opportunities that would carry them to great personal and cumulative heights?
My Mama and Papa Calabrese and Mama and Papa Giangreco, if alive today would join me
In the spirit of this Independence Day.
And so I entreat you, let’s champion choices: the freedom to choose our foods, our education, even our medicine, Sometimes it’s an uphill battle, but it’s worth our perseverance for ourselves and generations that follow. And perhaps more importantly, to establish fully that this is where freedom rings vigorously.
From all of us here at Homeopathyworks we wish you a healthy, happy and victorious 4th of July Holiday.
With Love,
Joette
Men can maximize their output and minimize their downtime. Homeopathy has the ability to set your compass on course with success. This is not an empty promise, because homeopathy, a natural medical model, stimulates the body’s ability to bring it to its best economy.
Downtime is unproductive, whether it be a simple cold that requires you to sleep more or an injury that keeps you out of your game. Even psychological issues can force the brain to become, not only unproductive, but irritable or uncreative.
The remedies homeopathy employs are without side effects, so they’re safe and have stood the test of time. They go after the imbalances by stimulating the body's ability to bring about health. This is because the promise behind homeopathy’s laws of nature includes the law that the body is always in search of equilibrium. We experience illness when that equilibrium is stalled or suppressed. The stalling process is often a result of the use of meds. They kill the messenger instead of allowing the body’s natural process to complete. Homeopathy, on the on the other hand, uses the process to its advantage and stimulates the healing process that is a natural direction.
Homeopathic remedies can be self prescribed for simple injuries and illnesses of common origin or can be addressed with a homeopathic consultant for fine tuning the areas of greater depth. In either case, homeopathy’s focus and reputation is to resolve the problem, not cover it up. Sounds like a plan.
