Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic approach to wellness. What makes homeopathy so wonderful is its ability to stimulate the body’s natural healing response using highly diluted, natural substances that are safe, non-toxic, and free of harsh side effects. While many European countries carry homeopathic remedies in their health clinics and hospitals, it's surprising that they are far less known in the US.
Although I took a course on Homeopathy in school, I had only attempted to use it once, and probably incorrectly. I first experienced the true healing power of homeopathy after childbirth, when my midwife gave me a little blue bottle of Boiron brand "Arnica 30c". I noticed a huge difference in pain relief, and it also seemed to speed my recovery. For my next 3 childbirths, I opted to use only 1 dose of ibuprofen, then continued with Arnica for pain management, relief, and smooth healing.
Arnica is known for its ability to support the vascular system, and circulation. Its most commonly used to ease body aches, sore muscles and bruising. Today it's still one of my favorite homeopathics, especially with little ones running around. I always keep it in my purse for the occasional head bonk, or skateboard fall.
Rather than simply masking symptoms, homeopathy works to address the root cause of imbalance, promoting long term well-being. It considers the whole person (body, mind, and emotions) and encourages a deeper understanding of how these elements are interconnected.
Whether supporting immune health, easing emotional stress, or helping the body rebalance after illness, homeopathy offers a personalized and empowering path to wellness that respects the body’s innate wisdom to heal. Now I've learned how to use a wide variety of over a hundred homeopathics, and still find them to be one of best, and safest options for supporting holistic health.
How to use:
Some important tips to remember are that you should wait 10-20 minutes after or before drinks, and 20-30 minutes after or before eating, when using a homeopathic remedy. This time allowance may vary depending on who you ask, but this is what I have found to work best. Typically, it's recommended repeat the dose 3x day, but stop soon as you see an improvement, (sometimes it's as soon as after the 1st dose!). More detailed info would be included with individual consultations.
