The holiday season might as well be synonymous with the traveling season. As I write this, I’m preparing to leave shortly for an extended trip to India to continue my homeopathic studies.
As you can imagine, I’m beyond thrilled to learn from homeopaths in India, a country that fully embraces the restorative power of homeopathy. My preparations have made me think though of some of the discomforts caused by travel. As you might imagine, homeopathy has an effective and gentle solution for travel woes!
Fear of flying
Ambra grisea 30
Anacardium 30
Argentum nitricum 30
On the day of the flight, take these remedies one after another on the hour (i.e., Ambra grisea at 10, Anacardium at 11, Argentum nit. at 12) and continue throughout the flight or until improved. If the fear begins the day before, start then. Allow at least two rounds to get up and running, so schedule accordingly.
Jet lag
Check out my previous post on this subject here. Also, drinking plenty of water with Bioplasma in it is a great way to stay hydrated while giving your cells the nutrients they need.
Sinus problems and headache from flying
Kali Bic 30: Take 4 tablets one hour before the flight and then every 2 hours thereafter if necessary to help with a feeling of sinus congestion.
Kali Mur 6x: Dissolve this cell salt in water and sip every few minutes to help with altitude adjustment and congestion.
Here’s wishing you happy and comfortable travels with homeopathy. Stay tuned to the blog, as I’ll keep you tuned in to my travels as well.

Even though I've studied homeopathy for years, I'm continuing my education this month in India. Are you interested in learning more too? On my website store page, I offer many great digital downloads to help you learn to care for your family's health needs yourself at home with homeopathy.
I love giving people Christmas gifts that come from the heart and are homemade. But if you’re like me, your mile-long to-do list probably has convinced you that you don’t have enough time left to make anything. That’s why I’m sharing this recipe with you for homemade vanilla extract. It’s too simple, and the results are impressive.
When you read how straightforward this is, you’re going to wish you had known about it years ago. Goodness! I've spent a lot of unnecessary money on the store-bought version before I learned about this.
I recently made almost twenty bottles of the stuff to give as gifts in less time than it would take to drive to the grocery store and buy vanilla extract.
Here’s my simple recipe:
I started with a bulk bag of approximately 40 vanilla beans. For fun, you can experiment with different varieties like Tahitian and Madagascar. I bought mine on line, but most gourmet grocery stores or health food stores carry them. Cut each bean in half and slit lengthwise.
For each 4-oz. bottle I made, I added four of these vanilla pieces, then filled the bottle to the top with vodka. You can also use rum or brandy.
That’s it! Shake the bottles gently every week, and they will be ready to use in about 6-8 weeks.
To be honest, I splurge when it comes to my vanilla extract, and I buy Courvoisier brandy. This French brandy is a decadent treat, but I've also had decent results with plain-old 180-proof vodka.
As the volume goes down, I add more alcohol, and I’m often able to eke out another rendering.
Here are my sources of vanilla beans that are usually less costly than buying from the local grocery store:
2) Penzey’s
As a bonus, I recently found a free download of beautiful labels that you can print out and affix to your vanilla extract bottles to make them an even lovelier gift. Check it out here.
Wishing you and your family the happiest and healthiest of Christmas and Hanukkah holidays!

At this joyous time of year, I’m reminded of some of the best gifts we are given in life: our children. Did you know that there is a homeopathic protocol that can be followed during pregnancy to give the gift of robust health to your unborn child?
The best part? This prenatal plan uses homeopathic cell salts that you can simply dissolve in water and take with you anywhere. Plus, they’re inexpensive and give your body the easily assimilated minerals it needs at this crucial time without resorting to the artificial nutrients found in commercial prenatal vitamins.
The following schedule should be adhered to for the duration of the pregnancy and the protocol for the last month continued for as long as the baby nurses.
Recommended Monthly Program:
Month 1: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Ferr phos 6x
Month 2: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x Ferr phos 6x
Month 3: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Nat mur 6x
Month 4: Calc fluor 6x, Nat mur 6x, Silica 6x
Month 5: Calc fluor 6x, Ferr phos 6x, Silica 6x
Month 6: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Ferr phos 6x
Month 7: Calc fluor 6x, Mag phos 6x, Nat mur 6x
Month 8: Calc fluor 6x, Nat mur 6x, Silica 6x
Month 9: Calc fluor 6x, Ferr phos 6x, Silica 6x
Take three to four pills of each remedy assigned for the month three times each day. Alternatively, you can dissolve the pellets in four ounces of water and take a sip of this preparation three times a day.
Just like higher potency homeopathic remedies, cell salts (sometimes called tissue salts or Biochemic homeopathy) are prepared in highly diluted dosages. This gives them a greater ability to work. Cell salts are readily available in most health food and some grocery stores and are very inexpensive.
Having considered the above, it needs mention that no amount of cell salts will substitute for a diet of wholesome and nutrient-dense foods. So, I recommend that nutrients be obtained from “Super Foods,” those that have been eaten throughout the ages in preparation for and during pregnancy. They are full-fat cheese, full-fat yogurt, and loads of butter on all vegetables, and unprocessed meats, especially liver and other organ meats. Eggs from pastured chickens are a valuable source of the omega 3 fatty acids your baby needs for brain development.
This is the most crucial time in your baby’s life. It is also the best time for constitutional homeopathic care, as both mother and child are treated as one. Homeopathy has no side effects and will not interfere with any other meds, although meds are an especially unwise choice at this time. Homeopathy and high-end nutrition is fully safe for mother and child from the time of conception up to and including the birth.

It’s hard to believe that this simple Italian salad has such a unique flavor from common ingredients. You have to taste it to believe it!
I grew up eating this with crusty, homemade Italian bread still piping hot from the oven. My mother served it around Christmas and into January.
Ingredients
3 oranges
Sprigs of fresh mint leaves (but dried will do)
A good drizzle of cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of Celtic salt
Freshly ground pepper (a must, as it makes the whole dish sing)
So easy…….
Mangia!

Teaching my year-long online class How to Raise a Drug-Free Family has been so enjoyable and rewarding as my students grow in their homeopathic knowledge that I just had to share one of their stories:
Elaine writes:
My husband, Rob, has been dealing with his health for some time now. He has finally figured out that his testosterone levels are extremely low. So now that he knows what is wrong with him and he is taking more action, he is in a much better place. Anyway, he was prescribed a new testosterone replacement because the one he had wasn't helping. He started using it on a Saturday, and that night he had a couple glasses of wine.
Well, he woke up with the worst headache ever and was vomiting and rolling around all over the place. I felt so bad for him. As you taught me to do, I grabbed the text book from our webinar class and choose a remedy for him, and he was back asleep in 15 minutes. I remembered that when a person falls asleep soon after taking a remedy, it means that I picked the right one. Success!
His need for homeopathy didn’t stop there. The next day, he grabbed the chicken I was cooking out of the oven. He wasn't thinking at all and grabbed it with his bare hand! Totally burned his hand and was freaking out because of the pain. It was so bad that I was getting the family ready to go to the emergency room. In between all of this, I took to our book searched for the injury module and chose a remedy for him to take for the burn pain. I also decided to make a little water mixed with the remedy to put onto the burn because you direct us in that module to spray the burn as well.
The pain became manageable, and he decided to wait to see if the burn would blister before going to the ER. Wouldn't you know, the only spot that I didn't rub the water mixture on was the only spot that blistered!
Rob was beside himself. He was ranting and raving about this stuff being a miracle cure. He couldn't believe how it healed him so fast – twice in one day! I just love when Rob gets it! He is my biggest skeptic because his mom, who's a nurse, is always telling him that drugs are good. So when he is amazed by homeopathy, I just love it!
One of my favorite parts of being a homeopath is that I get to hear amazing stories like this every day. Embrace homeopathy as your medicine of choice, and soon you’ll have your own testimonials of cure to share. The word is spreading as savvy mothers and others determine to take back control of their family’s health.

Remember Constantine Hering who formulated the famous Homeopathic Laws of Cure that I wrote about a few weeks ago? I couldn't resist sharing with you some of his amazing story.
Believe it or not, when he first began studying homeopathy, he did so as a researcher trying to disprove
homeopathy.
Dr. Constantine Hering started down a path that would change his entire future when a French surgeon
he was studying under in Dresden asked him to take on the project of writing a pamphlet discrediting
homeopathy. In order to do this, he started studying the writings of homeopathy’s founder, Samuel
Hahneman.
To his surprise, Hering became convinced that Hahneman was right, and the two men began a
correspondence and eventual friendship. Please understand that this was not some quick survey of
Hahneman’s works. In fact, he devoted two years to studying Hahneman’s principles before coming to
his conclusion.
Like so many skeptics I've come across, it took a personal experience with homeopathy to completely
convince Hering of homeopathy’s validity. During an autopsy, Hering sliced his finger, and the wound
eventually became infected. The finger developed gangrene, and amputation was recommended.
Luckily, a friend gave Hering the remedy Arsenicum album. No amputation necessary!
As a result of his amazing cure, Hering decided to devote his life to spreading homeopathy’s message.
When he immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1833, he brought knowledge of its powerful ability to heal with
him, eventually becoming the father of homeopathy in America.
Before he arrived, Samuel Hahneman’s homeopathic texts were only available in their original German,
and very few homeopaths were practicing in this country. Besides having this valuable literature
translated into English, Hering also started the first American School of Homeopathy, the North
American Academy of the Homeopathic Healing Art located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Working tirelessly, Dr. Hering eventually oversaw provings of 91 remedies, including such valuable
polycrests as Lachesis and Gelsemium. But his greatest contribution may have been the first Materia
Medica in English, The Guiding Symptoms of Our Materia Medica.
As Constantine Hering shows us, sometimes the testimony of a former skeptic is the best advertisement.

Here's a note about my recent speaking engagement at the Weston A. Price conference written by my wonderful husband Perry:
Five hundred plus cheering attendees joined Joette’s presentation at the Santa Clara conference (standing room only!). The enthusiasm for her message of treating your family yourself was contagious.
The more than 1700 in attendance and the food remained pure and true to Dr. Price’s ideals.
Our booth was frequently three people deep, with loads of questions on how to get started. Our two sons, staff member Aimee, Joette and I were busy answering questions on homeopathy from the moment the doors opened until the closing ceremonies.
We've come away with new friends, lots of names submitted for the Hyland’s Household Kit raffle and orders for CDs and kits to be shipped all over the world. It was a blast!
If you've been following our Facebook page and Twitter feeds, you've seen our photographs and followed the memes.
Clearly we touched a subject that has an ardent following.
Let’s stay in touch. As I write this, Joette and her staff are authoring new courses and ways to make learning homeopathy easier.
