Why Study Homeopathy?

The study of homeopathy is for those who find it gripping to help others in a way that is safe and never causes harm. It is for those who value learning and a life well spent. Perhaps if I can inspire even one other to take to the study of homeopathy in a way that stirs his inner core like it has mine, I will feel I have completed an important life-task.

Homeopathic First Aid Kit

“Sticks and stones will break my bones” taunt children. How often we have heard this and hoped it would never come to fruition! However, should an injury occur, there’s nothing more comforting than the homeopathic first aid kit. First aid is the arena in which most people are introduced to homeopathy. Every household, school, ambulance, summer camp and dorm room should be equipped with a homeopathy kit so as to prevent a simple emergency from becoming a serious casualty.

Aconitum napellus

The best remedy for any injury to the eye is Aconitum napellus. A stab or puncture, as well as a laceration or scratched cornea, can all be benefited by a few rounds of Aconitum say the great medical minds of the homeopathic world. The use of this remedy has a history of bringing down swelling, reducing the chance of infection and minimizing pain.

First Aid

Homeopathy has a sterling reputation for addressing injuries and first aid. In England, during WWll, the homeopathic hospitals reported many cures and recoveries that were remarkably beyond the capacities of the other hospitals of conventional medicine. While conventional hospitals were still wallowing in mercurochrome and other quaint nostrums, the homeopaths were forging ahead using powerful, but gentle, medicines that have been used for 200 years and remain in use throughout the world today.

Glonoine

Glonoine is a homeopathic remedy that is useful for a person experiencing the effects of heat stroke. For such a person, symptoms after over heating may include: severe, throbbing headache, fever, and stupor. Symptoms are better in open air or by uncovering and worse from applying cold to the body. Glonoine is often helpful for the after-effects of heat stoke, as well. Heatstroke is a life threatening condition and requires immediate professional treatment.

Side Effects

Homeopathy has no side effects. One of the great advantages in using homeopathy is that it offers gentle medicine that not only doesn’t have side effects, but can even be used to eliminate the side effects a less superior medicine, such as drugs, creates. Often, people new to homeopathy confuse side effects with aggravations. Allow me to clarify. An aggravation is an exacerbation of symptoms presenting shortly after taking a homeopathic remedy. An exacerbation of symptoms rarely occurs when a patient is in a high–pitched state. That is, when the migraines are occurring, when the menses is flooding, when the arthritis is inflamed. And even less frequently occurs in the hands of an experienced homeopath. However, if indeed an aggravation ensues, it often occurs within the first few days of the first dose. It is the sign that the correct remedy has been chosen, but is dreaded by some patients. This is unfounded, since it is often fleeting. Most importantly, an experienced homeopath can keep an aggravation from occurring.

Outings

Taking needed or potentially useful homeopathic remedies with you on your outings and excursions is a very good idea. Remember, however, not to leave them in a closed vehicle during the hot summer heat. Prolonged high temperatures can damage your remedies, rendering them useless when you need them. Keep them with you or in a place that will ensure that they are safe from the heat.
