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…)
I don’t consider myself a jealous person. I usually find inspiration in those who have achieved or have more than I, but with that said, allow me to confess a moment of desire that altered my life.
About 27 years ago, having recently discovered homeopathy, I sat engaged in an appointment with my homeopath.
Her seven-year-old daughter knocked at the door of the consulting room and peeped in. She was pale and perspiring, and in a feeble little voice, she breathed, “I’m sick. My stomach hurts.”
My homeopath went to her cabinet, tucked into the corner of this office, where she had a stash of a hundred homeopathic remedies from which she dispensed the little pills. She plucked a remedy from the lot, opened the bottle, released the pills into the cap and tossed them into her daughter’s opened mouth.
She had complete confidence in her ability to address her child’s needs. (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…)
Nothing sends a parent into a frenzy like these four little words, “Your child has lice.” Even reading the word on the page probably has you reaching for your head to give a cursory scratch. (more…)
I recently posted about how to relieve travel sickness quickly.
Today I am going to address vertigo and tinnitus, which sometimes share similar aspects of motion sickness.
However, these maladies can be even more debilitating when associated with a chronic condition.
While travel sickness is due to movement, vertigo and tinnitus can often accompany nausea, making it a double whammy.
Some describe the feeling as existing in a factory of constant noise, being intoxicated or having a bad case of “the spins.”
Infections, fevers, seemingly unrelated illness, movement, inner ear issues, exposure to loud noises, eye problems or even a major stress can lead to a bout of vertigo and long-term tinnitus. (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!”
