E, F, G: Exhausted, Fatigued … Gelsemium

 

Joette Calabrese

Have you ever been dog-tired?

Bryonia: Breast Pain Is Breast Pain

Joette Calabrese

What is a list of must-have homeopathic medicines without Bryonia alba? It’s an incomplete list, I’d say!

Bryonia probably should have been at the top of the list we are creating together. Talk about burying the lede! But I’m trying to keep you intrigued for 52 weeks, so I’m sharing my favorites in no particular order. (more…)
