One of the most common questions I get is whether one should need a diagnosis to use homeopathy when they have symptoms. My advice? 

This is the beauty of homeopathy. It doesn’t just treat diseases; it treats symptoms. It follows the principle of “like cures like,” a concept discovered by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy. This principle, beautifully explained in Luc De Schepper‘s book “Hahnemann Revisited,” suggests that a substance causing certain symptoms in healthy individuals can cure the same symptoms in the sick.

To truly understand homeopathy, one must delve into materia medica – books that list homeopathic remedies and their symptoms. I recommend becoming familiar with the keynotes of popular remedies. These keynotes provide a good understanding of each remedy’s unique characteristics.

Take Bryonia, for example. This remedy is often used when someone feels worse for motion, has swollen joints, or is dehydrated. By learning the key points and keywords of each remedy, you can grasp the uniqueness of each remedy’s message, making the overall picture clearer.

When I first started studying homeopathy, I felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information. But I urge you to keep reading and trust that it will eventually sink in.

When choosing a remedy, it’s crucial to look for the area of pain, the sensation of the pain, and any mind symptoms. For instance, patients might describe feeling stuck or unable to progress. It’s fascinating that homeopathic remedies can mirror these exact experiences.

Having a well-stocked pharmacy of homeopathic remedies is essential. Keep your remedies in a safe and dry place, preferably in glass vials, and avoid exposure to strong odors or high temperatures. With proper care, these remedies can be passed down for generations.

In conclusion, I encourage you to treat symptoms, change remedies if necessary, and have your own supply of remedies on hand. Remember, homeopathy treats symptoms, not diseases. So, focus on the symptoms and let the healing begin.

As the host of the Homeopathy for Mommies podcast, I’ve had the privilege of discussing a wide range of topics related to homeopathy. One topic that has always seemed to confuse many of our listeners is the concept of remedy relationships in homeopathy. I remember feeling overwhelmed by this subject when I first started studying homeopathy, and I’ve decided it’s time to address this important topic head-on.

The Basics of Remedy Relationships

Remedy relationships refer to how one remedy interacts with another. Dr. R. Gibson Miller from Glasgow, Scotland, has created a printable chart of remedy relationships (http://www.homoeopathie.in/wp-content/uploads/relationship-of-remedies-dr-rgibson-miller.pdf) , which is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in this topic. I also recommend John H. Clark’s clinical repertory (https://amzn.to/3FcqcBJ) , which includes a section on clinical relationships that mirrors the chart.

In essence, complementary remedies enhance or emphasize each other’s qualities. Remedies that follow well are best given after a particular remedy, while inimical remedies are opposed in character and cannot exist together. Antidotes are remedies that counteract the effects of another remedy.

Practical Examples of Remedy Relationships

To illustrate this concept, consider the relationship between arnica and belladonna, which complement aconite. The order in which these remedies are given can significantly impact their effectiveness. For instance, giving one remedy before another can cancel its effects. Understanding these relationships is crucial when giving a series of remedies to aid healing.

The Role of Antidotes in Homeopathy

Antidotes in homeopathy are remedies that cancel out the action of another remedy. They can be used to counteract any negative effects or unwanted symptoms caused by a previous remedy. Some remedies have specific antidotes listed, while others do not. Interestingly, cell salts, which are essential building blocks of the human body, are not typically affected by other remedies and do not have antidotes.

Comparing Remedies: A Useful Tool for Beginners

In classical homeopathy, the term “compare” or “similar to” is often used to indicate a group of remedies that have similar properties or uses. While I prefer to be more specific in my remedy selection, comparing different remedies can be a helpful tool for beginners or those starting out in homeopathy.

My Personal Experience with Complementary Remedies

I’ve personally experienced the power of complementary remedies. When I broke my leg, my homeopath prescribed the “famous five” remedies: arnica, hypericum, bryonia, rhus tox, and ruta. These remedies not only complemented each other but also had the potential to antidote each other. Despite this, they worked together effectively and aided in my healing process.

Complementary and Inimical Remedies: A Delicate Balance

Complementary remedies work well together and can be given in alternation or combination to treat a particular ailment. In contrast, inimical remedies should not be given together as they can cancel out each other’s effects or create unwanted reactions.

For example, for sore, burning, or broken out skin, remedies like Rhus toxicodendron (poison ivy) and Apis mellifica (bee venom) are recommended. However, these two remedies are inimical to Nux vomica and Chamomile. Another example is Carbo vegetabilis (vegetable carbon) and Kreosotum (creosote), which are inimical to Acidum hydrocyanicum (cyanide) and Lachesis (snake venom). It’s crucial to be aware of these inimical relationships when prescribing remedies.

The Power of Antidotes

Antidotes can counteract the effects of another remedy. For example, Camphor is a powerful antidote that can neutralize the effects of many other remedies. Understanding the role of antidotes in homeopathy can be a game-changer in your healing journey.

In conclusion, understanding remedy relationships in homeopathy is a complex but rewarding endeavor. It requires careful study and practice, but the potential benefits to your health and well-being are immense. I hope this deep dive into remedy relationships has been informative and encourages you to explore this fascinating aspect of homeopathy further.

This week on Homeopathy for Mommies, we explore the the fascinating world of Arachnid (spider) remedies in homeopathy. Arachnid remedies are a unique group of treatments within the realm of homeopathy. They are primarily used to treat symptoms following spider or wood tick bites, and even recurring sepsis or bacterial infections. One of the most intriguing aspects of arachnid remedies is their impact on mental symptoms and characteristics. These remedies are known for their association with intense space and speed, hyperactivity, and a short lifespan. They also exhibit attention-seeking behavior, mischievousness, and a profound love for music and colors.

Beyond the general arachnid remedies, there are specific spider remedies that have proven to be beneficial. These include the papal cross spider, cross spider, black widow spider, and black spider remedies. They have been used to treat a variety of conditions, from angina pectoris and blood poisoning to infections. As always, we recommend reaching out to a homeopath to help you if any of these remedy descriptions resonates with you.

RSV is a common virus that primarily affects the lungs and respiratory tract, causing symptoms similar to a common cold. Most children contract this virus by the age of two, and while the symptoms are usually mild, it can cause severe infections in premature babies, infants, and individuals with weakened immune systems or underlying lung or heart issues.

There are various homeopathic remedies that can be helpful for respiratory issues, particularly in cases of exposure to toxins, viruses, bacteria, or flu. Aconite, Antimonium Tartaricum, Carbo Veg, Arsenicum Album, Baptisia, Belladonna, Bromium, Bryonia, and Chamomilla are some of the remedies that can be used for different flu symptoms. Activated charcoal capsules can also help remove carbon monoxide from the lungs and improve oxygen uptake.

This week on Homeopathy for Mommies, Sue addresses Enlarged Tonsils and how homeopathy can help! She chose to discuss this topic because it’s an issue she has addressed many times. Enlarged tonsils can be hereditary, but there are some homeopathic remedies that can be used at home to help children with this condition.

Sue referred to a book called “The Best of Burnett” compiled by Dr. H.L. Chitkara, which contains information from James Compton Burnett. She emphasized the importance of reading books on homeopathy, as they provide valuable information for different ailments and remedies.

Diving into the topic of enlarged tonsils, Sue shared information from James Compton Burnett’s book. He mentions a homeopathic remedy called Baryta Carbonica which has been known to be effective for enlarged tonsils in specific situations.

Sue discussed the importance of looking at the symptoms and the person as a whole when treating illnesses. She mentioned “miasms” or hereditary dispositions, specifically focusing on the tubercular miasm. She recommends studying the 12 miasms for a better understanding of these dispositions. Individuals with a tubercular disposition may experience symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes, enlarged tonsils, and even a sunken chest. However, these symptoms may only manifest if the person becomes extremely ill, lacks proper nutrition, or other related situations where there is great supression.

Here’s a great training Sue has on Miasms – Class 6 in her Advanced Homeopathy Series: https://homeopathyformommies.com/fall-study-group-series-live-sue-meyer/

This week on Homeopathy for Mommies, Sue Meyer delves into the world of activated charcoal, a supplement that has been used for centuries to treat poisonings and stomach upsets.

Activated Charcoal: An Ancient Remedy

Activated charcoal is a medication that has been used for centuries to treat poisonings. It’s made more porous through a process of superheating, which increases its absorption power. Just one teaspoon of activated charcoal can absorb all the toxins on a football field. Isn’t that amazing?

Our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins, even in urban areas where pesticides are sprayed without permission. Activated charcoal is known for its ability to absorb toxins and is often used in cases of poisoning or overdose. It can be taken orally or administered through a nasogastric tube. It’s also effective in treating respiratory issues and can absorb toxins through the respiratory tract.

The process of making activated charcoal involves heating carbon-rich materials such as wood, peat, coconut shells, or sawdust. This process strips the charcoal of previously absorbed molecules and increases its overall surface area, allowing it to absorb toxins effectively.

The Health Benefits of Activated Charcoal

Several studies suggest activated charcoal may assist kidney function by filtering out toxins and drugs. It may also help reduce gastrointestinal damage and inflammation in individuals with chronic kidney disease. Additionally, activated charcoal has been found to be beneficial in reducing intestinal gas and abdominal pain.

Activated charcoal is commonly used for water filtration and can remove fluoride from water without removing beneficial minerals. It is also used as an anti-diarrheal medication, particularly for diarrhea caused by bacteria or toxic sources. It has potential benefits for teeth whitening, skin care, deodorizing, and treating skin infections.

Activated Charcoal: A Personal Experience

I frequently take activated charcoal due to my sensitivity to food preservatives. I recommend other homeopathic remedies like Nux Vomica, Lycopodium, or Arsenicum for stomach aches, along with activated charcoal.

I believe in the importance of having activated charcoal in a first aid kit and consider it a supplement to a diet in today’s toxic environment. I’m concerned about the exposure of organic foods to pesticides and chemicals, and I shared an anecdote about non-organic potatoes being falsely labeled as organic.

The Power of Activated Charcoal

During a period of illness, my oxygen levels were consistently low despite using carbo veg, a homeopathic remedy. After consulting with a chiropractor friend, I learned that the cells in my lungs were coated with carbon monoxide, preventing them from absorbing oxygen properly. Upon the suggestion of my friend, I started taking activated charcoal, which resulted in a significant improvement in my oxygen levels within a few hours.

Activated charcoal not only works on the respiratory system but also cleanses other body systems by pulling toxins and heavy metals. I suggest taking one capsule a day or adjusting the frequency based on individual needs and reactions. Activated charcoal can be taken in different forms, such as capsules, powder, or mixed in smoothies, depending on personal preference.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this information and encourage you to explore the benefits of activated charcoal for yourselves. Thank you for listening and don’t forget to visit the Homeopathy for Mommies website and tune in to future episodes.

This week on Homeopathy for Mommies, Sue Meyer shares a fascinating topic that has been a significant part of her journey as a farmer and a homeopath – the use of homeopathy and natural ways to rid the body of parasites.

Reflecting on my own experiences with parasites on my farm, I initially used anti-parasitic drugs for my animals. However, I later learned about natural alternatives such as diatomaceous earth and coconut oil, which I found to be effective. I also took a naturopathy class and was shocked to learn about the importance of maintaining a healthy pH balance in ruminant animals to prevent parasites from thriving.

Over 50% of a ruminant animal’s food should be dried stocks, such as hay, which forces them to chew and produce more saliva, resulting in a lower stomach pH. This helps to strengthen their immune system and fight parasites more effectively.

Natural Remedies for Parasite Management

I have had personal success with using coconut oil to expel parasites from my animals. Feeding coconut oil to my larger animals caused parasites to come out of the skin and leave the body. I also used diatomaceous earth, which kills and dries up parasites, along with homeopathy to balance the body and create an unfriendly environment for parasites. I haven’t had to worry about parasites in my animals for 20 years using these methods.

The Parasite De-worm Mini Kit

I also recommend using a combination remedy called the parasite de-worm mini kit, which is alternated in the animals’ water for 1 to 2 weeks. Additionally, treating the pasture or barnyard with diatomaceous earth can further control parasites. Diatomaceous earth is made of fossilized remains of tiny aquatic organisms and contains silica, which is beneficial for the body. However, it is important to avoid inhaling it or getting it in the eyes.

Homeopathic Remedies for Parasites

On my website, I offer a pet parasite worm kit, as well as a list of homeopathic remedies for parasites. These remedies range from Aconite to Sulfur and cover a wide range of symptoms and types of parasites.

Treating Worm Complaints in Children

It’s also crucial to address worm complaints in children. While there are fewer remedies listed for children, Aconite, Belladonna, and Cina are among the top remedies for worm complaints in children.

Interestingly, the moon’s phases can influence worm complaints. Parasite problems can cause symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and failure to thrive. They can also affect animals and it’s important to treat them regularly to maintain their health.

In conclusion, I encourage everyone to address parasite problems using homeopathy and natural means. It’s a journey I’ve been on for 20 years and I can confidently say that it’s been effective for me. I hope my experiences and insights can help you on your journey too.

This week on Homeopathy for Mommies we’re talking about Emotional Healing and how homeopathy can help. Back in 2017, I briefly touched on this topic in a blog post and over time this has been one of the top accessed blog posts on my website.

I’ve had occasion to use a very popular remedy called Staphysagria. This remedy is famous for physical issues like surgery, incisions, having been cut, or injured.
However we’re going to talk about it today for it’s use for emotional effects of physical and emotional harm to a victim. This remedy is amazing for healing “the whole person” during difficult times of injury and victimization.

Over time I have come to realize that this is one of those remedies that will probably be needed in just about everyone’s life at some time or other.

Listen in as I share about this remedy in this week’s podcast.

This week on Homeopathy for Mommies, we have another Remedy Review! This week we are talking about Zincum Metallicum.

“The common old school use of zinc ointment to suppress eruptions and zinc injections to suppress discharges is based on fact. Zincum does suppress them. And it transfers the morbid action to the nervous system, setting up a poisoning there, and conversely in homeopathic attenuations Zincum can reverse the process. It can restore suppressed eruptions, it can cure the consequences of suppressions, and can set free the reactive power in conditions of undeveloped disease.” -John H. Clarke

Here are some keynotes of this remedy:

Hyper, over-stimulated and over-sensitive patients. This over stimulated state is liable to be followed by a collapse which results in mental dullness; leaving the person Dull, Complaining and dissatisfied. Brain/Nerves are fatigued. Restless feet in continued motion; cannot keep them still. Lame/Weak/Trembling/Twitching/ General aggravation from suppressed eruptions.; from suppressed menses and better with the flow. Only feels well during menses. General aggravation from wine. Restlessness. Twitches, jerks, fasciculations.
*Suits Well: Nervous constitutions.
~Effects of: Fright. Grief. Anger. Surgery. Night watching. Excessive study. From brain concussion. Frostbite. Suppressions of eruptions. Otorrhea. Menses. Lochia; Milk. Chorea from fright or from suppressed eruptions. Worse during sleep period the feet especially affected.

Listen in as I share about this amazing remedy!
