Have you ever had the flu and felt not only weak and sore,
but almost drunk, as if your mind and body were separated ?

That is the picture of Baptisia tinctoria (wild indigo).
Some influenza cases take on a toxic, septic-like character and here Baptisia becomes one of the key remedies.
It may be considered when there is:

- Profound weakness and rapid prostration, as if poisoned
- Mental dullness, confusion, a “drunk-like” state
- A heavy, aching, sore body and the bed feels too hard
- Offensive secretions and breath
- Restlessness, yet too weak to move
- Strange Illusions such as feeling divided or fragmented
- Worse from open air, cold wind, humid heat, pressure, and on waking.

The mental picture is striking: Intoxication, confusion, heaviness of the head, and even a sense of losing one’s wholeness.

Baptisia is particularly associated with epidemic influenza, where both body and mind are equally overwhelmed.

In homeopathy, we don’t treat the virus, we treat the person.

Baptisia shows us the depth of the Materia Medica, where each remedy carries its own unique signature, offering support that matches the individual expression of illness.

As flu season unfolds, Baptisia stands alongside remedies such as Aconitum, Bryonia, Gelsemium, and Belladonna, remedies we have already presented, each addressing influenza in its own characteristic way.

Have you ever experienced the use of Baptisia for influenza ?

Next week we continue with another classical remedy suited for a different expression of influenza.
Stay tuned!

Rosy Rosehips
Stunning reds aren't they. Earlier in the year, these were wild 'dog' roses with their pretty pale pink petals.

Rosehips are an excellent nutritional source of food as they contain high levels of vitamins and are worth adding to morning smoothies as a powder.

🍁🍂❄️The days are shorter and it’s getting cold and some find this is when their moods start to shift……🍁🍂❄️

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs at specific times of the year, most commonly in the fall and winter months. It is characterized by symptoms that can significantly impact daily life.

Common symptoms of SAD include:

▫️Persistent sadness or low mood
◽️Loss of interest in activities
◽️Low energy and fatigue
◽️Changes in sleep patterns (oversleeping)
◽️Weight gain and carbohydrate cravings
◽️Difficulty concentrating
◽️Feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness

What can help?

🔸Light boxes -Some people with SAD find that light therapy can help improve their mood considerably. This involves sitting by a special lamp called a light box, usually for around 30 minutes to an hour each morning.
🔸Vitamin D and getting out in the sun as much as possible!
🔸Exercise-this can help alleviate symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by releasing endorphins, which improve mood, and by increasing energy levels. Regular physical activity, even in small amounts, can be beneficial for managing SAD symptoms.
🔸Getting enough good quality sleep.
🔸Magnesium -this may also improve sleep, which may indirectly improve depressive symptoms. If you have low magnesium levels, a supplement may improve your mood, but more research is needed to understand the connection between magnesium and SAD.
