21 Top Remedies You Need to Know to Protect Yourself and Family

Want a quick reference for the uses of the main homeopathic remedies for injury cases? For the sake of those who aren't clear on homeopathy's role in medical practices throughout the world, allow me to declare its sterling reputation. Homeopathy was counted upon by American Civil War surgeons, WW1 and WW2 camps and is the mainstay of homeopathic emergency rooms throughout the world.

The following remedies, used in medium to high potencies, work best for those who are familiar with homeopathy. They should be repeated every 15-30 minutes in severe situations and more infrequently as the pathology becomes less serious. There is nothing wrong with continuing the course of action for a week or even longer, as long as symptoms remain. Here is a short list of the best remedies and their indications to have committed to memory and to have on hand:

1. Bitten Ledum 12. Infected Arsenicum iodatum
2. Bled Vipera 13. Inflamed Ferrum phos
3. Burned Urtica urens 14. Lacerated Hypericum
4. Bruised Arnica montana 15. Punctured Ledum
5. Contused Arnica montana 16. Poisoned Arsenicum
6. Dislocated Arnica montana 17. Suffocated Carbo veg
7. Exerted Rhus tox 18. Shocked Aconitum
8. Electrocuted Phosphorus 19. Stung Ledum
9. Fatigued Bioplasma 20. Over indulged Nux vomica
10. Impaled Hypericum 21. Slivered Silica
11. Incised Calendula

The more serious the situation, the higher the potency needed of either Arnica or Aconitum. For example, if someone has had a concussion of severity, on the way to the hospital, a 1M potency would be advisable. Offer it every 15 minutes or more until consciousness is restored. If instead, it's only a mild head injury Arnica 30 will often do the trick when offered every 15 minutes or so. You would use a 200 potency for a moderate injury.

The less experience you have, the more important it is to stay with lower potencies such as 30c or 30x. Homeopathy is safe when and only when utilized properly. So I entreat you to learn as much as you can and when you're finished, learn a little more. If you're unsure, call us for a consultation. We're always in the ready.

Our Week at the Chautuaqua Institution

On the weekends, our boys join me at the Chautauqua  Institution, while I teach during the weekdays.  Chautauqua Institution is a not for profit, adult educational  enclave dating back to the early 1800’s.  Situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Chautauqua, it’s one of the several Finger Lakes in upstate New York.  www.ciweb.org Here we are on our way to the shore to do some  “manly” boating.  Having  a family with only boys has taught me to go with the flow.

Quit That!!!

Homeopathic “Quit Smoking Protocol”
Before beginning, have your resolve designed. That is, get certain foods, or activities lined up for your psyche and cravings to be supported. For example, if you adore shrimp, make it your treat when the cravings are extreme. Or have your bike ready to go for a quick ride and sweat it out to help realign your metabolism. Don’t begin the program until you’ve made up your mind to do everything you can to stop.
1) Caladium 6x: once daily
2) Calc phos 12x and Nat mur 6x: 2 tabs each dissolved in 4 ounces of hot water, twice daily for months until a change is realized.
3) Avena Sativa tincture: 10 drops in water twice daily.
Contact me with your results. I’d love to hear how you do.


Ouch! Don’t touch

Sunburns, like chicken wings can be mild, medium or hot! Keep the following handy as the summer progresses to keep the heat down. First and foremost, never leave for a long weekend or vacation without your homeopathy kit. If you don't own one, contact us (above)…we have a selection to fit all budgets.

My remedy of choice is to always consider Cantharis first. It's useful for all sorts of burns including scalds and chemical burns, so sunburns usually respond well. Use a potency that matches the severity of the burn. This means; the more severe the burn, the higher the potency. For mild sunburn a 6c, 12c or 30c is likely to do the trick. For a more alarming incident; that is, one with severe pain, chills, blistering, etc. and only if you have knowledge of homeopathic medicine use a 200c.

Generally speaking in acute situations, the more severe the pathology, the more frequently the remedy needs to be repeated. So if the sunburn is moderate, very red but without blistering, and you're using a 30c potency, you might offer it every 30-60 minutes to keep the pain from ensuing. In fact, use pain as your indicator as to repetition.

If after giving Cantharis, there is no improvement, consider two other remedies. Urtica urens is the remedy of choice if the pain has a prickly, stingy or itchy sensation. In fact, if the sensation is of this nature from the beginning, then start with this remedy and don't bother with Cantharis. For a deep, severe burn use Causticum. The more severe the burn, the more likely that Causticum is the correct remedy. Causticum is also handy for old burns that have taken a long time to heal. You should see a change in intensity of symptoms within 30-40 minutes of taking the correct remedy.

cantharisI also like to use cell salts as an intercurrent with higher potency remedies. So, for instance, once it's established whether Cantharis or Urtica urens is the correct remedy; then offer Kali mur 6x every 30 minutes or so to bring down the discomfort and pain. As always, when improved, stop administering. Topical ointments or tinctures can also be soothing. Try coconut oil, aloe vera gel or Calendula tincture. But to be honest, you'll likely find the homeopathic remedy to be enough. The entire picture is resolve with the remedies, pain is just the indicator. Peeling may still ensue but not as severely. A sunburn isn't a day at the beach. But don't worry, homeopathy, as always, has the solution.

July 4, 2010

Sometimes we hear folks condemn the U.S. I’ve been guilty of it myself. Certainly, there is much we can improve upon,  but it’s clear that America has a capacity for heralding good in many corners of our world.

When my Sicilian grandparents stepped onto American soil a century ago, they were overwhelmed by gratitude and hope having found the country of their dreams.  Here is where they would have a chance……an opportunity to develop their independent and triumphant spirits.

Where else might they have gone where a  country was actually founded on the principles of freedoms and opportunities that would carry them to great personal and cumulative heights?

My Mama and Papa Calabrese and Mama and Papa Giangreco, if alive today would join me

In the  spirit of this Independence Day.

And so I entreat you, let’s champion choices: the freedom to choose our foods, our education, even our medicine, Sometimes it’s an uphill battle, but it’s worth our perseverance for ourselves and generations that follow.  And perhaps more importantly, to establish fully that this is where freedom rings vigorously.

From all of us here at Homeopathyworks we wish you a healthy, happy and victorious 4th of July Holiday.

With Love,

Joette


HOW TO MAKE KOMBUCHA TEA

img 0099

A Wonderful Tonic & Natural “Soda Pop”

Ingredients:

· Kombucha mushrooms (can be purchased online by googling “buy Kombucha  mushroom.”)

· ¾ – 1 cup white sugar

· 5 tea bags of conventional tea ( such as Lipton)

· Boil 3 quarts of water

· Add ¾ cups of sugar (once the mushroom works on the white sugar it transforms it to good food, including lactic acid and a potent detoxifying substance called glucuronic acid). Don’t use maple syrup or whole sugar, since it’s difficult to insure consistency. More sugar may be used for added sweetness

· Simmer for 5 minutes or less to dissolve the sugar

· Remove from heat & add 5 tea bags (remove paper labels first)

· Remove tea bags after 10 minutes

· Allow the tea to cool to room temperature

· Pour the room temperature tea into a 4 quart glass or plastic container such as a bowl. This allows the mushroom lots of room to grow. The mouth of the bowl should be as great, or greater than the depth of the tea.

Kombucha mushrooms are alive so certain conditions need to be followed

· Gently place the mushroom into the room temperature tea with your fingers. Sometimes it sinks sometimes not. It will right itself within a few days.

· Do not use any metal on or around the mushroom; for example, metal tongs. Even a small contact can cause trouble for the mushroom.

· Cover the bowl with cheese cloth or a cotton or linen dish towel. Secure with clothes pins and place in undisturbed rather comfortable warm room for example the laundry room.

· Place the date you made tea, stated on a note card on top of the cloth and the date you expect it to be completed. (Usually one week or more) if it is summer it often ferments before that time. If you want it less sweet, keep it covered longer. It should be fizzy a bit, sweet and sour and have no taste of tea.

· To taste it don’t use a metal dipper, use a coffee cup, ect. that has no metal on it.

· After the Kombucha is completed a week (sometimes less, sometimes more) remove the mushroom. Look on the underside of it and you’ll find a second mushroom attached to the bottom. Pull it apart from the “mother” and make two batches next time or pass on to a friend. The same mushroom can be used again and again.

· Refrigerate the tea in a capped glass pitcher. The mushroom can also be refrigerated in a class bowl and kept for several months. Kombucha beverage will lose its effervescence within one week.

· Four ounces is usually best amount to drink daily. (Your body would have told you this because of its powerful flavor and sensation). For a child ½ that amount is advisable. It is a good idea to work up to four ounces slowly over a period of 1-2 weeks.

· For animals dilute 50% with water

· Most people with yeast allergies tolerate Kombucha but it is best to start with a very small amount first, then build.

· An excellent variation (especially to aid in digestion) is to add 1-cup freshly peeled ginger, coarsely chopped to brewing Kombucha. Serve in a delicate stemmed liqueur glass to honor your work

· Enjoy!
