I've been wanting to talk about homeopathy. Due to false information and assumptions, i have never really toyed with homeopathy much until this February. I do wish i had decided to experiment with it many many moons earlier. A few reasons being, it has helped my husband and son through multiple viruses now. They are mostly only western medicine people but taking a 102 fever just beginning, away in 6 hours and to not come back....has them curious and asking for more...although its secretive. Ha, people whom are mainstream western medicine only generally feel embarrassed when taking a 'sugar pill'. It makes sense though. Mob mentality is a powerful thing. Nothing matched trauma care like western medicine. That being said, homeopathy has perked my curiosity on chronic conditions.
According to NIH:
"Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It's based on two unconventional theories: “Like cures like”—the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people."
Its complicated and involves assessing constitutions and has strange potencies....but its quite ideal for many whose systems are very compromised and sensitive. I had a virus from the end of May to the end of June and it was a nasty virus. I had a fever for most of those 30 days. I do credit my homeopathy experimentation with not needing to be hospitalized. Even though i really didn't fully know how much or often to dose in an acute condition like that. There is a learning curve. Then i began recovering and caught covid with my family ONE WEEK LATER. People around me were pretty concerned. I was definitely concerned. I couldn't sit up to use restroom for days etc. amongst many things. I began homeopathy during it again because what did i have to lose, i told myself. It seemed to help my lungs immensely this time with a different remedy. After recovering from covid, i became really curious. I thumbed through a book and did my own research but began realizing i needed some guidance. I wanted to see what it could offer more chronic conditions. I became curious that just a few shades difference between LM1 to LM3 could shift a bodys response to treatment. 30C was a more standard dosing for acute states and other territory and less commonly 200C for severe shock and other crises.
So, i found a homeopath located in London. She is also a western medicine pharmacist (was, she has left the hospital setting because of a few reasons) and now solely dispenses homeopathy. Shes incredibly knowledgeable. I feel grateful. I have no expectations. She has no expectations. She just helps provide guidance for the different phases of healing a severe state like mine goes through. I am learning. My prescription was $8 for a month ha! Even, if i forever remain in a bed, this feels like the next right step for me. I am noticing changes that i do not feel like sharing as of yet but will in the future if it becomes time.
In the meantime, if you are curious or already familiar but want to know a few brands....
I bought the Helios Family kit which has been incredible at treating many ailments in each family member from simple tummy aches to headaches to cold/flus and the Ledum 30C was even used on a caretakers son whom has an allergy to antibiotics but was bit by a tick for a few weeks (disclaimer: ER did not feel the need to start him on antibiotics). Its surprised family and friends. Its not perfect. Sometimes you have to try different remedies which there are rules and guidelines on but overall it has exceeded my expectations...by far.
There are many brands. Quite a few of us are sensitive to dairy/lactose etc which are in the popular Boiron brand. I found Helios which is only sucrose. Tiny, tiny amounts. There is a history behind why eastern medicine uses small amounts of sugar in healing. Much different that our current western alternative medicine diagram which thinks all sugar is the devil. Anyways, heres a few brands i've liked if interested:
Helios kit (dairy free): I bought mine on amazon but the Miranda Castro shop is having a sale currently
https://mirandacastro.com/shop/kits/helios-basic-bundle/
Cell salts (to remineralize teeth and bones)-dairy free: https://mirandacastro.com/shop/miranda-castros/cell-salts-for-bones-hair-nails-teeth/
Arnica Cream for pain, etc: **edit-this is includedin above kit! along with another cream**
https://mirandacastro.com/shop/helios/helios-arnica-cream/
Bach Flower Essences Stressaway (alcohol version-i put on my wrists instead of internally but they have alcohol free versions):

Bach Flower Essences for depression:

I should note i am using multiple Bach remedies for severe anxiety at times and phobias etc. I am working with a practioner but one can research and read up on this area to find which remedy could assist you. Bach flower essences has been assisting me in many ways and i have been on long term benzos multiple times between klonopin, xanax and ativan and i can honestly compare the relief they provide to benzos (my experience, we are each different) without benzos negative side effects. I have a funny story about Bach Flowers Stressaway blend....maybe i will tell it one day.
be well everyone
thank you for being here and supporting and sharing with me while we all heal together.
