Influenza
Many of us have successfully used Occilococcinum or
Gelsemium to treat flu symptoms. Another homeopathic remedy
to consider is Baptisia Tinctoria, or wild indigo. Consider
this remedy for flu with these symptoms: tiredness, high
fever, mental confusion, and smelly or excess discharges.
Remove corns.
Make a poultice of one crumbled piece of bread soaked in one-quarter cup
Heinz Vinegar. Let poultice sit for one-half hour, then apply to the
corn and tape in place overnight. If corn does not peel off by morning,
reapply the poultice for several consecutive nights.
Throat Specialist RX for Strep Throat
Several years ago, during a severe ice storm, my sister had strep throat
& couldn't get out to go to her Throat-Specialist, so she called him. He
told her not to get out on the streets, because it was too dangerous,
and that she could doctor it herself at home.
Here's what he told her to do: Place 4 or 5 regular sized bags of black
tea (not decaffeinated) into a coffee cup. Pour boiling water over bags,
& let sit until it becomes cloudy & thick looking. Do not sweeten or add
any other ingredient. Keep tea warm (LEAVE TEA BAGS IN CUP)---gargle
with this extremely strong tea when throat hurts, itches, or coughing
begins. The tannic acid in the strong tea coats the throat, stopping the
pain & itch, & at the same time heals the strep throat, usually within
24 to 48 hours. Most of my family & friends use this remedy. Everyone I
know that uses this "recipe" swears by it. One of my neices is a nurse
at a large hospital--she said her fellow nurses use this remedy all the
time.
One little hint--if you're like me, & don't like the bitterness of the
strong tea, after tea is as strong as you think it will get, wring out
the bags into the cup & pour the tea into a spray bottle. Then when you
need to use it, just heat til warm, & spray into back of throat--this
misses most of your taste buds. For adults I would use at least 5
sprays, & children about 3 sprays. When my son was 3 years old & would
start getting a sore throat, he'd screw up his face & say, "My throat
hurts. Fix me some tea, Momma". Come to think of it, at 15 years of age,
he's still doing the same thing. It really does work, if you follow the
directions exactly.
Crushed Finger
This particular injury can damage much delicate tissue. To
relieve pain and assist in the healing process, take
homeopathic Hypericum every 30 minutes.
If you take iodine don't drink floridated water.
Iodine and florine compete for same binding sites
Buttercup for Blisters and skin Problems
Ranunculus, or common buttercup, is especially useful for
skin conditions that form small blisters. It is often used
for the outbreaks of shingles or Herpes zoster. The
homeopathic remedy will relieve the pain of shingles and
promote healing.
CO-Q
Working from the cellular level, it strengthens the gums as well as the heart muscle. Many scientists believe that periodontal (gum) disease is a good indicator of low levels of CO-Q-10 in other tissues
Motherwort herb for heart palpitations.
. When my kids broke out with hives, I always gave them an
alfalfa tablet. I also have a tendensy to eat too much sugar and my skin
will break out too. I''v cut down on my carbohydrates and my arms have
healed up
Cure for cucumber acid
To avoid the unpleasant "cucumber burps" after eating cucumbers, do
the following: cut the cucumber all the way through just below the
stem-end. Then place the two cut pieces together again, and rub back
and forth vigorously. A "puss-like" substance will come out the cut
end of the cucumber; simply rinse off, peel if desired, and slice as
usual. The "puss-like" substance is what causes the dreaded
cucumber-tasting burps afterwards. I used to avoid cucumbers at all
costs; now I eat them with no problems whatsoever!
ECZEMA
Remedy for eczema: "Use Noxema instead of lotions, that was what it was originally made for. Hence the name.... Noxema (no eczema). Sounds crazy but it works!"
Hemorrhoids
Calendula salve
Potatoes soaked in Witch Hazel
Cough
A halls cough drop in a cup of hot tea usually helps a bad cough.
Colds
Angelica tea is good for colds.
Put an ice cube in the web of your thumb & pointer fingers on the same side of toothache--
Women Healers
The newly published book "Roots of Healing: A Woman's Book
of Herbs" by Deb Soule contains a wonderful history of
women as healers, including their role as herbalists and
homeopaths. A part of the proceeds from this book will go
to support a clinic offering herbal and homeopathic care to
low-income families.
QUOTES!
Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.
- Benjamin Franklin
"What we get can make us a living... what we give, however, makes a life"
Happiness is found when we bring out the best in others.............
Remember -----that the family that rakes together aches together..........
Happiness is the most powerful of all medicines.
A kiss is a pleasant reminder that two heads are better then one.
Let your hearts soar, this day. Let yourselves experience
all the joy that is so abundantly available to us.
See the world through the eyes of a child,
and you will experience the wonder,
that none of us should ever lose.
Know that you are loved.
"My heart is moved by all I cannot save, so much has
been lost.... so much has been destroyed.
I must cast my lot with those who, age after age,
perversely, with no extraordinary power...
reconstitute the world."
The injury we do and the one we suffer are not weighted in the same scales.
Aesop
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
- John Dewey
