HOMEOPTHY FOR WINTER

Homeopathy is a safe and effective form of medicine for the whole family. It is particularly important as we enter autumn and winter and the start of flu season.

Winter is a time of nights drawing in and less light. It is important to keep our levels of vitamin D up as this enables us to fight off respiratory infections. By boosting the body’s immune system, homeopathy can help improve a persons susceptibility towards illness and infection.

If anybody would like to explore the benefits of homeopathy for themselves, please contact me on teresa4551@hotmail.com.

As always, please use homeopathy under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.

HOMEOPATHY FOR LONG COVID or CHRONIC FATIGUE POST INFECTION

Over the last year or so we have seen numerous cases of long COVID or long haulers after a COVID infection. This can range from mild symptoms of mild fatigue and brain fag to devastating and crippling exhaustion which causes the patient to feel wiped out after just a few steps.

It is fair to say that most recover without further problems, however, for a few, symptoms can linger for weeks and possibly months. This usually arises because the immune system cannot effectively resolve the acute COVID or other viral infection.

Some of the symptoms experienced in long COVID or patients are as follows:

Chronic, debilitating fatigue
Memory loss with inability to concentrate
Low grade fevers
Joint pains and swollen joints
Sleep disturbances
Digestive upset
Light sensitivity and Dizziness
Headaches

What causes these symptoms to linger long after infection has passed, is a question often asked and the answer is complicated. Having had both PVS and COVID (not omicron), I can totallly understand the need to grasp what is happening to your body and how best to overcome symptoms. Many experts put it down to inflammation and a cytokines storm that sends your body into overdrive. So basically, what this means is, that if our immune system is low, the virus can cause our bodies to overreact thus leading to an inflammatory response and cytokines storm. In other words a vicious cycle sets up that becomes hard to break and other factors, such as anxiety, distress and frustration, only serve to further aggravate symptoms. It is therefore understandable that depression often accompanies these symptoms.

Homeopathy, by its very nature, endeavors to treat the underlying imbalances to the body thus allowing the overreaction of the immune system to calm down. Therefore the body’s defense system does not need to keep producing an inflammmatory response towards this virus finally allowing healing to take place.

A few remedies to consider for long covid are:

Arg. Nit.

For post covid anxiety, person feels fearful of serious disease. These people are usually always rushed and in a hurry to get jobs done.

Baryta Muriaticum

Very good for post covid fatigue. Legs feel weak. Bronchial affections and cardiac problems.

China

Profuse sweating during infection. Great for digestive complaints, food lies on stomach undigested.

Crataegus

Acts on heart and as a heart tonic. Post covid palpitations and heart problems also dyspnoea.

Gelsenium

Extreme fatigue and dizziness following infection. Legs feel heavy and weak.

As always, please consult your homeopath before taking any remedies.

Wishing everyone health and happiness in these unusual times.

HOMEOPATHY - COVID - MENTAL HEALTH

What a time we are experiencing and sometimes our despair can affect our emotions to the unfolding events that we see on a daily basis in the media. It is also sometimes difficult to lift our spirit after our senses are bombarded with further news of death and illness, thus making it more difficult to find positivity and an end to this world wide crisis.

It is therefore very important to keep up our mental health and mood because a depressed mood can significantly impair the function of our immune system. Sometimes we forget our own inner strength and resilience in the face of an ongoing situation but what is worse is to lose our hope and our spirit. It is harder to rebuild our spirit after it gets chipped away however we can reach out for help and talk to someone. Carrying darkness around on your shoulders gets heavy after a while, so please let it go if possible.

If we have learnt one thing in this world, that this world will come out of it just as it did during other pandemics when medicines and ventilators did not exist. We just need to ride the storm and come out the other side.

Here is to the future and putting our arms round our loved ones again without fear.

HOMEOPATHY POST SURGERY

There are many benefits to using homeopathy before and after surgery as this can protect the patient from shock, pain, bleeding and other effects of surgical intervention. It can also ease with the unpleasant effects of aanesthesia and discomfort.

Surgical procedures can be traumatic to the body and the following remedies are commonly used for post-operative healing:-

ARNICA MONTANA
The number one remedy which can be taken before and after surgery. This is useful for bruising and swelling of tissues plus will arrest bleeding and aid overall recuperation.

STAPHYSAGRIA
A very useful remedy for any surgery, particularly abdominal, where stitches are required. The wound can be sensitive and painful and delayed in healing.
Speeds up recovery and also lifts the mood of the patient.

HYPERICUM
This is by far an excellent remedy for painful areas after surgery, where nerves are injured and traumatized. Pains can be sharp and shooting. I have seen brilliant results where an infection sets in after surgery and impedes recovery causing further complication. Hypericum can clear this up and speed recovery. Also can help reduce possibility of infection if used after surgery.

PHOSPHROUS
Very good remedy for nausea and vomiting following an aesthetic. Also arrests bleeding.

GELSENIUM
A very good remedy prior to surgery for fear and anxiety in anticipation of surgery.

Dosage would be in the 30c potency and up to three times per day for 3 or 4 days.

As always refer to your doctor if symptoms do not clear up.

HOMEOPATHY FOR JOINT PAIN AND STIFFNESS

This therapeutic method uses micro-doses of natural substances to relieve a wide range of acute and chronic conditions. Because it is using such tiny doses, it is both safe and non toxic but, furthermore, homeopathy strives to rebalance and restore health thus reducing symptoms.

Amongst conditions I often get asked about, is joint pain, typically arthritic type problems. Chronic pain can not only affect a person physically but emotionally aswell. Osteo-arthritis, an auto-immune disease which causes the immune system to attack itself , can also be treated as homeopathy can address the body’s own immune response that causes this self destructive mechanism.

Some remedies commonly used for joint type problems

RHUS TOX

Quite often used as a first aid remedy for sprains and strains following Arnica. People needing this remedy are usually restless and symptoms are alleviated by gentle movement of stiff joints. Also an excellent remedy for sciatic pain.

CAUSTICUM

Closely resembles Rhus Tox in restlessness but Causticum type people only restless at night and motion does not alleviate symptoms. Tendons can feel shortened.

LEDUM

Very good remedy for arthritis and gout. Characteristically pains move upwards in the body, example from the feet to ankles and then knees. Unlike Rhus Tox, pains aggravated usually by warmth.

I hope this gives a little insight into the benefits of using homeopathy. I always look forward to any feedback and comments. Please take care and stay safe,

HOMEOPATHY and ALLERGIES

People are always asking how homeopathy can help with these seasonal often irritating symptoms.

Basically, allergies often arise as a result of an internal imbalance. We can also be predisposed to allergies if their is an inherited tendency. Homeopathy aims to address the imbalance thus relieving the severity of symptoms.

How do allergies affect us?
The body’s ability to cope with everything we come into contact with is dependent on many individual factors. Tolerance levels can go hand in hand with our own degrees of sensitivities I.e. somebody who overreacts to everyday situations will probably also react more strongly to different foods and chemicals.

Our tolerance levels can also attribute to what we call the final tipping point I.e. the point in which symptoms first start. For example, imagine a glass being filled with water to the very top. Once there is no more room for any more water the glass will spill over. In the same sense, we can note this in a person whose system is having to deal with a barrage of different foods and environmental factors that he has to adjust to constantly. An overaccumulation of these can lead to symptoms spilling out like an overfilled glass. When the glass is less full, then the body can manage better and this is how homeopathy aims to help by reducing the load and restoring balance.

ALLIUM CEPA

One of the many remedies used to address allergies. This remedy comes from the onion family. If you imagine cutting an onion, the symptoms that appear I.e stinging, running eyes and sneezing are exactly what this remedy is used to treat. This is the basis of homeopathy I.e. like cures like.

HOMEOPTHY IN THESE TIMES

Homeopathy, by its nature, can be an invaluable tool to boosting our immunity and well being in these times.

To understand homeopathy, just like other complementary therapies, we do need to take a step back from our high tech western medical practices and look at healing from a completely different perspective.

Many of us have become familiar with the concept of energy healing as for example reflexology and acupuncture. In the same way, homeopathy aims to restore the energy flow that may have become disrupted by the various stresses and strains of everyday - especially important at this present moment in history.

HOMEOPATHY AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

How does homeopathy affect the immune system?
Homeopathy works at the level of the immune system and thereby strengthens it which in turn allows us to fight infections easier.

In the case of chronic disease, homeopathy can support the system and thus reduce the severity of symptoms and manage diseases thus reducing the toxic overload of more medication than is necessary.

The aim of a homeopath is to treat the person and not the condition, this allows the the healing to get to the root cause of the illness and not just treat a series of symptoms. Symptoms are recognized as an indication of a struggling immune system, of an overloaded system and by addressing these, the person can move towards better general health.

There are many factors that impair the function of the immune systems. For instance, stress, prolonged fear, bereavement and grief. Also external factors like the environment and the food we eat or even the fast pace of modern life. Homeopathy can help us to find some sort of balance and restore our well being.

I hope that in these uncertain times people are staying safe and finding time to enjoy the small things in life. Take care.

HOMEOPATHY AND IT’S ROLE IN FIGHTING INFECTIONS

In view of the current Coronavirus pandemic, it is evident that some people are becoming concerned about their health.

Whilst epidemics are a natural phenomena,and have, always been around, this does not always lessen the fear. Added to this, wide social media can sometimes heighten the alarm felt.

Whilst homeopathy does not prevent the contraction of viruses, it can enhance the person’s ability to fight a disease and lessen the severity of symptoms. It does this by supporting the body’s own immune system, especially for people who might have a lowered immune system due to existing illnesses or older age.

As always, please follow sensible precautions by your health authorities.

Also, keep hydrated and maintain a good diet with plenty of exercise.

Homeopathy is a very individualistic therapeutic system and whilst it is always best to treat people constitutionally, there is a place for first aid remedies that can help in an acute stage before symptoms become serious and require medical attention.

In the case of respiratory illnesses below are some first aid remedies that can be used up to 3 to 4 hours apart for at least 2 to 3 days.

BELLADONNA 30c

For sudden onset of high temperature that persists. Not required initially as the role of temperatures are the persons best friend to reduce infection.

BRYONIA 30c

Persistent, dry and painful cough. Characteristically invalids are worse from movement and warmth.

CAUSTICUM 30c

Deep, hard, racking cough with chills and fever - exposure to cold air aggravates cough.

ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM 30c

Continuous rattly cough that can make a bubbling sound. Good for pneumonia where lungs feel full with mucous which cannot shift. Difficulty breathing. Feeling of drowsiness.

DROSERA 30c

Great for persistent cough after an attack of bronchitis or pneumonia. Can go some way to lessening damage on lungs.

ARSENICUM.ALBUM 30c

Pneumonia and difficulty breathing with shortness of breath. Cough and scanty phlegm. Pain in upper respiratory tract and feeling of suffocation made worse by lying down or sleeping.

CARBO VEC. 30c

Great remedy for the elderly with pneumonia type symptoms. Labored breathing, shortness of breath, cyanosis. Can have burning sensation in chest.

Always seek medical attention if necessary as things can deteriorate quickly.
