Let’s add to our arsenal of homeopathic remedies for simple first aid. Today, we’ll look at fainting.
Fainting is a unique way for the body to display stress. Frightening experiences and other emotional times in one’s life are nearly always met with a physical component. Fainting occurs when the heart suddenly fails in its normal action. It most often afflicts women and the “faint-hearted.” The causes for fainting spells are often varied. (more…)
When faced with skin problems, such as acne, a rash or eczema, our first thought is to make it go away as quickly as possible.
But don’t.
Skin problems are simply a symptom of something more. Indeed, it may be the last step in the body’s attempt to drive something from the inside (vital organs) to the outside (skin).
If we interfere with that process, we will likely drive the problem back inside, leading to future, more serious problems. (more…)
Every expectant mother looks forward to the day when she gets to hold the precious baby growing inside her. The first-time mom sees her baby, the first kiss and the first moments of motherhood are something treasured forever.
This new little life brings much joy, but colic can quickly turn things into a nightmare. As many as 20% of newborns (and consequently their families) suffer from colic.
Colic is defined as incessant crying for more than three hours at a time for three or more times per week. The baby appears to be in pain with fists clenched, legs curled up and painful wails that nothing seems to help. This is extremely draining on an already sleep-deprived new parent and can really take its toll on the entire family. (more…)
This year I have received many reports of pneumonia. Some started as cases of the flu and progressed, some started as a cough that got worse, and others reported mild coughs that wouldn’t clear and were diagnosed with pneumonia.
Pneumonia can be viral or bacterial, and typically the sufferer has a cough that may produce rust-colored sputum, pain in the chest, fever, weakness, chills, and even nausea and vomiting. However, mild forms may just have a lingering cough. Conventional treatments involve antibiotics, but for more than 200 years, homeopathy has successfully cured cases of pneumonia quickly and completely. (more…)
Pipes a’burstin, doors a’freezin and heating units unable to keep up. Whatever happened to global warming?
No doubt low temperatures are something we must take seriously since if not adequately covered when they hover near zero, frostbite can set in quickly.
The windier the conditions, the faster such maladies occur. These methods will protect you and your family in case you fail to cover up. (more…)
I saw an interesting article a few weeks ago about a government plan in Britain to pay mothers to breastfeed! Britain has one of the worst breastfeeding rates in the world. It seems the practice is more commonly accepted by those in affluent areas of the country but is limited in poorer areas.
The trial begins with 130 women in two parts of the country with the poorest breastfeeding rates. These women will be paid the equivalent of $190 if they breastfeed for the first six weeks of life, and this amount is raised to $270 if they continue through six months. While it doesn’t clearly state this, I don’t think they need to exclusively breastfeed. (more…)
