Do you know the secret to aging gracefully?

"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."

-- Mark Twain

In recent weeks, Hollywood has treated us to a mish mosh of stories on maturing actresses ending up in the hospital.  Demi Moore for "exhaustion" and Heather Locklear for combining the wrong combination of prescription drugs with alcohol.  What ever the real reasons are, it's not suprising that the media has harped on the "aging actress" angle of these stories, no matter how beautiful or graceful both of these actresses still are. 

How to relieve winter itch with homeopathy?

Winter itch. It suggests an emotional desire to get outside, move around or change something in our lives.  Although a good homeopathic practitioner could repertorize it and find a great homeopathic remedy for those emotional keynotes, we actually mean something much more simple.  That is itchy skin during the winter months caused by indoor heating systems and less than optimal hydration. 

It's easy to understand how it happens.  In the winter, because of lower temperatures and less time in the hot sun, we're often not as concious of our need to hydrate, so we don't drink enough water.  Combine this with dry air from heaters and you may become susceptable to dry skin and ithiness - winter itch!  The good news is, homeopathic remedies can help.

Homeopathic Sinus Remedies - Outpacing Flu Remedies.

Is flu season a bust?  Although this would be welcome news, it’s still too early to say.  According to the CDC, even though flu activity is relatively low in comparison to previous years, there are indications that flu cases may be on the rise.  The Center for Disease control reports that cases are increasing in Europe, parts of Canada and a few local areas in the United States.

Homeopathic remedies for a better night’s rest - especially around the holidays!

For all practical purposes, the holidays are here, and the New Year is approaching fast.

And even though kids don’t deal with the same issues adults do, you can count on them feeling some of these effects.

How to stop leg cramps with homeopathic remedies?

Leg Cramps are experienced by nearly 25% of Americans on a recurring basis, the most common cause of leg cramps being overuse of muscles due to exercise after periods of inactivity.

Bryonia 30 , 6 or 200 - Homeopathy for a "grumpy bear"

Joint Pain & Backaches • Headaches & Hangovers • Achy Colds / Flu • Worse with Motion

In October, we took a closer look at the number one single homeopathic remedy for joint pain - Rhus tox.  Like Rhus tox, Byronia has applications for joint pain and backaches, but with very different homeopathic modalities.  For the purpose of this article, you can think of a "modality" as a "tendency to conform to a general pattern."¹  While those needing homeopathic Rhus tox often feel better with slight movement and stretching, the homeopathic remedy Bryonia is just the opposite.  In fact, in his Materia Media, Clarke describes Rhus and Bryonia as "antidotes" for one another.  In Boericke's version of the Materia Medica he describes Bryonia's "aggravation" as "WORSE, warmth, any motion, morning, eating, hot weather, exertion, touch. Cannot sit up; gets faint and sick."

How to quickly find the best homeopathic remedy for cold, flu, or fever symptoms.

With an abundance of homeopathic remedies available for cold and flu symptoms, it can be a challenge to find the best one, even for more experienced homeopathic practitioners.  Some people exhibit the same symptoms all the time, making the homeopathic remedy selection more simple, but for others, cold and flu symptoms can be diverse, changing and often difficult to determine, especially at the onset.  We also talk to practitioners who describe the process of managing cold symptoms as though they are peeling back layers of an onion: after one homeopathic remedy succeeds in relieving symptoms, a new group of symptoms appear that require a different homeopathic remedy.
