Homeopathy with Ali Lomax

🤒 Nearly all of us are familiar with having had a fever at some point, both as a child and an adult. The typical thought is ‘QUICK!... STOP the fever!’ – and there are several over the counter and readily available medicines to give straightaway.

BUT...

Did you know that a fever is actually a positive sign of a health change going on… Do not be frightened... the body is fighting something itself and usually it is actually winning!

To ‘suppress’ the fever is intervening with the body’s own first line of defence and potentially lessens natural immunity in the patient.

A homeopathic approach is the way to understand what is at the root cause in our WHOLE system rather than just stop the temperature, i.e. what is the susceptibility? If we find and understand this root cause and support with appropriate remedies, we will see the body improve and the temperature come down as it re-balances.

In fact, the body may need no treatment at all; given time and rest, a healthy body is likely to rectify itself.

Here are some key remedies to have in the first aid cupboard to support a fever:

Aconite, Belladonna is a great remedy, Chamomilla
ABC… This is a great combination to have made up! I regard it as the Homeopathic Calpol, for when you think your child is going down with something, is brewing a temperature and generally out of sorts, but there is nothing else specific. It is a combination of Aconite, Belladonna and Chamomilla.

- 🌡️ - 🤒 - 🌡️ - 🤒 - 🌡️ - 🤒 -

Please do remember that there may be times when extra help is needed... do not hesitate to seek suitable medical advice and help, in situations such as:

- If the fever rises persistently above 40’Celsius ( 104 ‘ Fahrenheit)
- If the child has a fast arriving rash.
- If there is a recent wound which may be infected.
- If the child becomes listless or floppy and has not responded to previous remedies.
- If there is severe headache or pain in the abdominal area with nausea.
- If the baby or child has a history of convulsions.

🌕🌕🌕The next full moon is the Beaver Moon on Wednesday 5th November 2025, at 8:19am ET. This will also be a supermoon, appearing larger and brighter than a typical full moon 🌕🌕🌕

I often prescribe the homeopathic remedy Cina (wormwood) around this time as the power of the moon’s forces encourage them to come out to play, particularly if the gut has been in an acidic state and therefore been facilitating a wonderful comfortable breeding ground!

🔺🔺Key symptoms: unsettled feeling, itching a**l area, food cravings and excess hunger, stomach pains and picking at fingers and skin

Teucrium is another of several remedy options.

💫 Get ready with your remedies folks! And using the alkalising Tissue salts (Nat Phos and Nat Sulph) will help restore the gut’s acidity!

There has been some ground breaking mechanical equipment around for many years…. And this machine was much used by a local lady whose friend offered it to me when she passed on. I know Sameena and her growing team will really benefit from its use out in Gambia ….. enjoy! See previous post about Sameena’s amazing work!! 👍💪🥰

I love this combination which is made fresh every year to fit the current bugs going round. Many people use it instead of the flu vaccine - and I always encourage my patients to consider this.

Get in touch with Ainsworths and find out for yourself.

Following on from my previous immune boosting post last week, here are my Top 10 remedy suggestions for keeping well this autumn…

ABC 30c - This is a combination remedy that can be used instead of Calpol or Paracetamol/Tylenol when we feel we might be going down with something. It is a blend of Aconite, Belladonna and Chamomilla.

Belladonna - wonderful to use where there is a fever

Ferrum Phos 30c or in a Tissue Salt form - fantastic for boosting us up when low energy arrives and again, we feel we are going down with a bug.

Kali B**h 30c or 200c - A wonderful remedy to set to in sorting out a sinus infection or catarrhal aggrivation.

Pulsatilla 30c - where there is ear and nasal congestion that may also go to the lungs and the discharge is yellow/green. The patient may be clingy and not cope in a stuffy environment.

Drosera 30c - a lovely remedy to relieve that tickly and persistent cough that really goes to town at night and once lying down. It happens to do great things with Whooping cough symptoms too!

Hepar Sulph 30c - for infection brewing… whether it be internal or external. If you feel a chest infection or throat or ear infection coming on, this is a great remedy to use.

Arsenicum Album 30c - for any bug involving diarrhoea or vomiting and also ailments from food poisoning. The patient may be very fearful of their health and dread the worse.

Gelsemium 30c - Our great go to for flu-type symptoms where there is exhaustion, aching bodies, headaches, fever, throat soreness, nausea and dizziness. This patient may also have fear and anxiety in their picture.

Eupotorium and Oscillococcinum - another two great flu remedies and it is worth discussing them with a homeopathic pharmacy should you go down with the Flu.

🕷️🕸️There has been a lot of talk about these lately – homeopathy can treat well in the moment and afterwards.

Ledum is our first chosen remedy – our go to for punctures to the skin.

Also Hypericum, really helpful for bites, stings, and to avoid infection.

Hypercal ointment – this is a great soother and healer in topical form.

Belladonna is a good remedy choice where there is red hot swelling and occasionally Latrodectus mactans (where these is blueish swelling with itchiness and pain)

I hope this helps. Do contact me for further advice if needed.

Hello everyone, it’s time for another little catch-up in my year of exciting travels and change.

My husband is retiring, and we are therefore able to go back to New Zealand (our favourite part of the world), and incorporate some special family celebrations over the Christmas and new year period in Australia on our way.

My practice will therefore be closed in December 2025 and January 2026, and I will be able to resume, working remotely via zoom appointments, in February and March.

I will be home for Easter 2026 and therefore able to see patients again in person, back in my English practice, as I welcome a British spring.

Please do get in touch if you have any questions and wish to make any bookings during this time. The best way to reach me will be via email or the contact page on my website.

I’m really excited about being able to at last link up with some Australasian homeopaths during this travel opportunity.

My last day available for appointments in the UK will be Wednesday 26th November 2025. This allows plenty of time to get prepped for your Christmas remedies 😉 and for those in the northern hemisphere, to help ward off your winter blues and ailments!

At the moment, I am lucky enough to be close to many trees with leaves turning beautiful colours. This brings me so much joy!

Joy is such an important part to find in our daily living… but sometimes, we need reminding of simple ways to find it.

Key suggestion: can you take a daily walk and find some colour today? And while you’re at it, take 5 deep breaths in and out…

FEEL THE JOY, NOTICE THE CALM 😊

Homeopathy is just wonderful at supporting the body in achieving optimal health in each and everyone of us that use it.

Here are some key things to consider if you are keen to get your immune system boosted at this time of year:

- Are you getting enough sleep?
- Are you managing your time wisely and effectively? This alleviates stress and enables enough time for you and your needs as best as possible when it is factored in!
- Are you eating healthy and drinking enough water throughout the day? Is your diet well balanced enough?
-SUPPLEMENTS and NUTRITIONAL SUPPORT: I understand these to be very helpful as we do not get the same nourishment from our soil and many of our food sources these days. I can recommend looking at the following ‘helpers’ in boosting and maintaining our immune system:

Vit C – this can be taken high strength!
Zinc – This is helpful alongside Vit C.
Black Elderberry – you can incorporate these into your diet or make or purchase a syrup or herbal elixir
Vitamin D with K2 – taken together it is better absorbed. You can buy it in an oral spray or drops…
Echinacea – another great immune booster at the start of not feeling quite up to par! Usually bought in a tincture form in a dropper bottle.

And some go to Homeopathic Remedies for this time of year to have a look into would be: Aconite, Belladonna, Gelsemium, Bryonia, Arsenicum Album, Nux Vomica, Pulsatilla, Hepar Sulph, Chamomilla

If I can help with any of the above or other health matters, I have appointments available - so please do reach out. Let’s keep our health in optimum condition this Autumn as we head into the winter months.

Hello from me 😊

…it was so lovely finding this poem - I just had to share it with you all! I am a believer in the power of a deep breath ending in a smile.

Smiles are so relaxing and release the tension that our faces might otherwise be holding.

How is your week going so far? I hope this little glimmer of a smile helps you through it.

If you are feeling strained, tensed or hyped up… you ought to try a dose of our lovely homeopathic remedy PASSIFLORA.

I’m thinking of you all at this time as a parent, a Mumma, a member of a community… even as a pedestrian! And my heart also goes out to all the children who will be readjusting, separating, being brave and fearful and excited - sometimes all at once!

There are some fabulous remedies for individuals at this time, whether a schoolchild, parent/carer… or even teacher!

Homeopathy can be such a boost in supporting ourselves during these challenging times… WITHOUT the homeopath doing the journey for you but WITH the help of the homeopath to get you through in a healthy, happy and effective way.

We use remedies that allow each individual to continue growing and developing to their full potential, NATURALLY!

Do get in touch if this resonates with you or forward to anyone you know who may be interested.
