Chillblains

Chilblains. Could a pathology with such a cute name be all that bad? Well, it is only one step away from frost bite, so precautions are necessary. I live in Buffalo where the winters are a delight, but too often we become complacent with winter apparel. So preparation is essential. As in most illnesses, the best cure is to not allow it to happen in the first place. Dressing appropriately and retiring to the indoors before getting too cold is wise. Another safeguard is to eat a diet high in good quality fat such as butter, whole raw milk, whole cheese and cod liver oil. These foods are vital for the health of those who live in cold regions. Think Scandinavia.

Mother’s Intuition

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.

Antibiotics

The media and modern medicine are beginning to catch up to what homeopathy has known for centuries: antibiotics are dangerous drugs and any decision to use them ought to be well weighed. So what do we do to replace antibiotics? Why, homeopathy of course! Homeopathy is a most efficacious method of not just addressing bacteria and virus related pathology, but leaving the sufferer in a better state than the one previous to the illness.

Colds

When choosing a homeopathic remedy to counter a cold, look for the most outstanding features of the cold to match the most outstanding of the remedy. A 30^th potency administered every 1-3 hours for up to 5 doses is the method most often found efficacious. When improvement ensues, stop the remedy. If need be, most will switch to another remedy after giving the first one a good chance. It takes practice, but once you become adroit with homeopathy, you’ll never return to the old ways.
