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.  Whatever the real reasons are, it's not surprising 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. 

The fact is, we're all aging.  Silly as it sounds, its true, and there are mental, physical and emotional challenges we face through most of our aging transitions.  Furthermore, most of us have not been blessed with freakish good looks and the genetic makeup or financial means to look 20 or 30 something well into our 50's and 60's.  Yes - exercise and good skin care can help a lot, but we think the real secret to aging gracefully is more likely found by a state of mind.   While homeopathy does not promise any magic bullets for anti-aging, some homeopathic remedies can help with mental, physical and emotional balance at the core.  Here are a few options to keep in mind.

Elastic - Tissue G

A Classic Example of cell salts combined to target a weakness.  We often think of elasticity as an aging issue with varicose veins and hemorrhoids, but imagine the elasticity it takes to go from newborn to 6 feet tall or to build muscles that can lift twice your weight. The elasticity in our veins keeps them from getting stretched and varicosed. The elasticity in our muscles, tendons, skin and nerves keeps them strong and flexible. 

Calc fluor is the most important elasticity remedy for treating growing bones, lumbago, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, stretch marks and other ‘relaxed’ conditions. 

Calc phos boosts nutrition and cellular activity to restore tone to tissue weakened by growth spurts, injury, illness or wear and tear. 

Kali phos helps steady nerves and encourages healing of nerve tissue, especially in nerve rich areas or injuries that seem too sensitive. 

Nat mur helps ease dryness and aids water distribution to help circulation especially when tissues are mending or stiff.  So, whether growing up, recovering from an injury, illness, fitness class, puberty, pregnancy, aging or the blahs, you can use this remedy to aid flexibility and bounce-back-ability.

Homeopathic Cell Salt Ingredients: Calc fluor, Calc phos, Kali phos, Nat mur.

Cell Salts and Tissue Combinations

The individual cell salts that play a specific role in the health of an organ system or the treatment of an ailment are combined in our Tissue combinations. These classic combinations make it
easy to give tissues exactly what they need to solve a problem or strengthen a weakness.

12 Special Single Remedies

 Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall, our bodies need strong, stress-resistant cells to avoid ailments and embrace the season’s potential.  Homeopathically prepared from the basic mineral compounds that cells in the body depend on, the twelve cell salts help stimulate proper use and assimilation of these vital nutrients.

In homeopathic potencies, the cell salts are mild and safe at any dosage!  

These descriptions are all in accordance with Dr. W. H. Schuessler’s Biochemic Therapeutics, which established the cell salt remedies in 1876. He states that our cells and organs rely on these twelve inorganic substances and that abnormal conditions (illnesses) arise when they are not in balance.

Our History and Theirs

After working with the cell salt’s founder Dr. Wm. Schuessler in Germany in the 1890s, F. A. Luyties brought an enthusiasm for the cell salts back to his grandfather’s pharmacy that remains with us today. In J.B. Chapman’s book, Dr. Schuessler’s Biochemistry he states: “The Luyties Pharmacal Company were pioneers in the introduction of these remedies to the physicians in the United States.”

All cell salts are readily available in 5 potencies:

6X, 12X and 30X are packaged in 500 tablet bottles;

30C and 200C in 160 pellet vials.

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 Sulphur - Buy Now!

Though often characterized as the absent minded, messy, bath-hating philosopher, or the child who never stops asking ‘Why?’, homeopathic Sulphur has many acute applications for all of us.

The homeopathic remedy Sulphur covers the gamut of ailments head to toe. One of its main applications is for skin problems, particularly dry, scaly, generally unhealthy skin that suppurates easily. It can also help with acne and sores, red orifices and hemorrhoids, and itchy skin or patches which burn when scratched and are aggravated by heat.

Its range of cold and hay fever symptoms include: itching burning watery eyes; feverish, sweaty colds with persistent offensive yellow mucus in sore, red nasal passages; suffocating coughs and sinus irritation. Its ear congestion often causes ears to be very red.

In the digestive field, it helps with nausea, acidity, heartburn, offensive flatulence and morning diarrhea. Great appetites for sweets, chocolate, fats, spicy food, cold water and beer may suggest a serious Sulphur case.

Sulphur’s sleep may be disturbed by cold, restlessness or nightmares. If after a few good hours, the night is a string of naps leaving you unrefreshed and drowsy in the afternoon, that’s a Sulphur sleep. Its headaches feel very constricted, hot and full with burning, bursting pain in the forehead and at the vertex (top) and may have the typical Sulphur indigestion.
Among its trademarks are local burning or throbbing pain and congestion; flushes of heat, aversion to water, dryness, red orifices, recurring complaints, excessive sweating and offensive discharges. Its symptoms tend to improve in dry warm weather but worse with warmth of bed. Sulphur is a powerful remedy that can bring things to the surface (suppressed skin conditions included).

As for the ‘Sulphur Type’, there are many. It covers quite a spectrum of traits and personalities from the robust to the emaciated, from the generous to the most miserly, the outspoken critic and the spokesperson for humanity. From the drunkard, dirty, wise-fool of Shakespeare’s Falstaff to the knowledgeable intense egoist Sherlock Holmes, some of the greatest characters in literature and history come under the wide range of Sulphur egos. Whether full of themselves or of concern for their families and health, Sulphurs tend to lack the practical nature that guides most of our daily lives. In homeopathic care, Sulphur is often used when the true ‘similimum’ is not working.

Please note: These statements are based upon traditional homeopathic practice.  They have not been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration.

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. 

Although news of fewer cases of influenza is encouraging, we’ve also read reports that health care professionals are seeing more colds with longer lasting cough and sinus symptoms.  Furthermore, if it is any indication, we’ve also seen a jump in sales of key sinus remedies in the last week, so we’re thinking it may be time to check your medicine chest to make sure you have some of these key sinus remedies on hand.  And if you live in an area where Flu is setting in, it’s probably not a bad idea to consider these flu remedies as well.

Sinus #203 - This head clearing combination works with the body’s natural decongestants and histamines to clear the sinuses of stubborn mucus and ease profuse discharges. its relief extends to bursting catarrhal headache pain and eye, nose and throat irritation due to allergies, hay fever, colds or congestions.

Homeopathic Ingredients: Euphrasia, Hydrastis, Kali bich, Pulsatilla

Nasal / Sinus #10 - Blocked sinuses, post nasal drainage, stuffy noses, and suffocating chesty coughs– regardless of which part of the respiratory system is affected, this combination triggers cleansing responses to speed healing, naturally. Its classic ingredients are all known for their ability to relieve symptoms without causing dryness or suppressing discharge.

Homeopathic Ingredients:  Antimonium tart, Kali bich, Mercurius bin, Spongia tosta

Kali bich – we’ve described this sinus remedy before as a “sinus hero”.  This master remedy for helping break down thick, ropy, sticky, tough, stubborn mucus helps clear away sinus congestion, post nasal drip, hawking, blocked nasal passages, stubborn gagging coughs, plus related stomach distress and migraine-like headaches. If mucus suppressants, spring pollen, or too much beer are in the picture, that’s more evidence that Kali bich could help.

Lycopodium – although you wouldn’t normally put this single homeopathic remedy at the top of the list as a sinus remedy, we wanted to mention it because it seems to be quite popular this week.  While Lycopdium has numerous emotional and digestive keynotes especially relevant this time of year, its sinus and common cold uses can be singled out by yellow mucus, blocked sinuses, dry constant cough, buzzing ear congestion.

Flu #86   Strong colds and feverish flu can find natural relief in this unique combination. Its classic homeopathic ingredients can ease symptoms and encourage a speedier recovery from acute fevers and flu symptoms.  Its versatility lets it treat sudden fevers with chills as well as stifling slow moving, bone chilling miseries with lingering coughs and irritations.

Homeopathic Ingredients:  Aconite, Belladonna, Bryonia, Eupatorium perf, Ferrum phos, Gelsemium

"It really works!" Review by Jay

I have had sinus problems as long as I can remember ( I am retried now)...When my aunt told me about Homeopathy my life has completely changed. Sinus Luyties #203 actually works where all other remedies that I tried did not. I take only one dose on the on-set of a sinus problem and right away the problem is gone. The sinus/nasal does not work for me, but this one does. (Posted on 5/10/10)

"This Remedy Works" Review by Slept, even with the flu

I was hit with the flu for the first time in 10 years, 2 days before Christmas.  What a mess. Had it not been for the Nasal / Sinus & Flu Remedies from
1800Hoemopathy, my Christmas would have been ruined.  And yet here it is Dec. 27, and the flu and all it's ugly symptoms are fast on it's way out of my body! That's 4 days!!! Amazing

"Loving Homeopathy" Review by staphill

I've tried this product, looking for a solution to sinus issues that always bother my husband (who used to live on over-the-counter sinus remedies) and have found that this works better than anything that he has tried before. The most important thing to me is that it is safe, and has no side-effects and takes care of the issues promptly. Also, it has helped my very skeptic friends too. You can't go wrong with giving it a try.

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. Another issue is age, as we grow older, cramping can occur more frequently, most often at night, preventing us from getting the rest we need.  Experts also believe that dehydration is a cause of leg cramps.  This points to some obvious suggestions on how to avoid leg cramps; but even though warming up with some stretching before vigorous exercise, and staying hydrated during exercise can help you avoid leg cramps, homeopathic remedies can help when you need to stop leg cramps when they are happenning.

Get leg cramp relief with these homeopathic remedies.

MuscleAches #44 - Extensive First Aid treats muscle strains, cramps, bruises, soreness, sprains, and provides leg cramp relief.

This combination’s classic ingredients offer healing relief to sore or injured muscles and related ligaments and joints without aspirin, ibuprofen or any other chemicals that could aggravate tissues.

Homeopathic Ingredients:

Arnica, homeopathy’s premiere first aid remedy, reduces muscle strain and speeds healing by reducing bruising, bleeding and swelling of muscles and joints following workouts, injury, overexertion or sprains.

Bryonia soothes aching joints and muscles, stiff lower backs, inflamed joints and even chest muscles aching under a hard Bryonia cough.

Cimicifuga aids numbness, aching and muscular soreness in the limbs, cramping pain in the calves (especially with periods) and pain in the chest and large muscles.

Mag phos, the cell salt all muscles need, relaxes muscle spasms and cramps including leg cramps, menstrual cramps, muscular tension and radiating nerve pains.

 Rhus tox, the joint pain specialist, relieves tearing pain and soreness in muscleswhen related to joint pain, swelling and sprains.

Ruta grav, the tendon and muscle remedy, eases sprains, injured joints and out-of-whack backs.

Mag phos - #1 for Cramps & Spasms • Leg cramp relief • Radiating Nerve Pain

If you feel tight, tense, in a knot, then think Mag phos, and relax. An imbalance in our magnesium causes nerves and muscles to get out of sync. They cramp, spasm and shoot off pains. An imbalance in phosphates disturbs our vitality. Found in muscles, nerves, brain tissue, spinal marrow and teeth, the compound magnesium phosphate is vital to proper communication throughout the body.  Mag phos aids many spasmodic conditions in which nerves and muscles cannot cooperate these include leg cramps, menstrual cramps, abdominal pain or colic, back spasms, writer’s cramps, muscular tension, hiccoughs, tics, twitches, certain cases of bedwetting and other cramp or spasm symptoms. For nerve pain, Mag phos specializes in radiating pains but applies well to shooting, stabbing pains as well. It can be very useful for stabbing headaches, backache, right-sided sciatic pain, facial nerve pain, toothache, right-sided ear pain, and inflamed, injured or weary nerves.

Now for the big IF: an important key to Mag phos’ relief is that symptoms feel better for heat and worse for cold. This is so strong that many recommend a sip or two of hot water immediately after taking the remedy to speed its action. If a hot bath, hot tea, and a warm bed sound ideal, add Mag phos to maximize the relief.

The Modern Story of Quinine

Hyland’s Leg Cramps contains the homeopathic medicine Cinchona Officinalis HPUS, which is made from the bark of the Cinchona tree, commonly called “Quinine Bark”. This bark is the source ingredient for quinine as well as the source of the ingredient in our homeopathic medicine. Homeopathically prepared Cinchona Officinalis is a safe and extremely effective ingredient to relieve leg cramp pain.

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."

Bryonia was given the nicknames 'grumpy bear' and 'hangover' remedy because it applies best when stress or illness sets off a grumpy irritabilty that refuses comfort and does not want to be spoken to, bothered or moved in any way.

Bryonia relieves ailments that approach slowly, linger too long and may result from being chilled when overheated or from fast weather changes. Its slow moving flu and colds are marked by dryness. They have a dry, hacking cough with stitching pains, bone-aching, chill-ridden fever, great thirst for cold water, dry throat and a “don’t touch me, leave me alone” growl. The constipation or flatulent food induced nausea that Bryonia relieves may have this same general demeanor and much pressure after eating. Gastric flu with a bitter taste and aching in the stomach relieved only by belching may find relief here, too. Any of these may lead to a state of great fatigue in which the slightest exertion seems too much.

It has earned much fame by relieving intense, bursting, frontal headaches that may build to cover the whole head and do not want to be moved or jarred in any way. They feel best when buried under a pillow in a dark room. These headaches accompany most Bryonia ailments.

Its ‘keynote’ symptom ‘pain worse from slightest movement’ apply best to its swollen, red, hot joints aching from inflammation or sprains. These joint applications are very like Apis but are not shiny and pain is more stitching than stinging. It can be very helpful for stitching pain and stiffness in the small of the back and in the neck. Most Bryonia pains find relief in applied pressure or lying on the painful side.

Constitutionally, Bryonia applies best to reliable, tidy individuals who are driven to succeed by a need for financial security. If their effort fails, grumpy irritability and sadness can dominate. They approach life and work methodically without letting emotions get in the way.

3 Simple Steps for finding your way to the right homeopathic remedy

1.   Think about symptoms more than diagnoses, such as 'burning pain, gas, burping and nausea after eating' rather than just 'indigestion'. A minute spent analyzing symptoms and their causes before reading through the remedies, can save time and effort.

2.  Glance through the applications and characteristics at the top of each description to make a short list of the remedies that apply best. Then read through these remedies to find which one stands out as the best match to your individual symptoms.

3.  Take your first dose and relax, knowing:

✓ You cannot do any harm by not making the perfect choice.

✓ The remedies last a long time and cover a range of applications for future use.

Shortcuts:

Certain ‘keynote’ details help pinpoint or eliminate remedies. For instance, Bryonia symptoms worsen with motion, Rhus tox symptoms need motion to limber up or relax, and Apis symptoms all share burning, stinging pain. Arnica, of course, needs no shortcuts as it can be given to any physical trauma to reduce bruising and swelling.

Ignatia - Just the friend we need to lighten the burden of emotional upset.

A Closer Look at the homeopathic remedy Ignatia amara.

Keynotes & Uses

• Mental/Emotional - Effects of grief, homesickness, anger, trauma or ‘overload’; fainting, sleeplessness and nightmares. Much sighing, lump in the throat sensation.

• Colds & Cough - Lump in the throat sensation (may not be cold related), spasmodic cough, chilling very thirsty fever.

• Pain & Inflammation - Stabbing nervous headaches.

• Digestive - Tummyaches or indigestion with sinking feeling.

• Modalities - Worse for stress, coffee, cold air. Better warmth and food. Onset emotional stress.

Named for the patron saint of spiritual retreats and exercises, this small tree supplies us with the emotionally and physically supportive St. Ignatius bean. In homeopathic form, this remedy treats a wide range of symptoms that can be caused by emotional turbulence. Loss of a loved one, trauma (even in the not so recent past), homesickness, broken hearts of all shapes and sizes, long, intense study periods, constant stress, in short any strong emotions that, if repressed can set off a wide array of symptoms in the body.

While it can help bring out suppressed emotions, Ignatia is also helpful in the pangs of grief or trauma - the sleeplessness, bellyaches, and waves of pain that can be the companion of turbulent emotions, and to prevent issues soon after - such as colds due to the strain on the immune system. Ignatia colds can start with a lump in the throat sensation and it’s spasmodic cough is set off by a tickle in the throat. If a fever takes over, an Ignatia type may be quite thirsty or itchy with chills. Some other symptoms may be a headache which feels as if a nail is being driven into the skull and the discomfort is made more intense by lying on the painful side. A sour taste in the mouth, hiccups, upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting which is somewhat relieved by eating are other Ignatia signs. Women can complain of uterine cramps during menstruation, constipation due to emotional stress and hemmorhoids.

On the emotional side, Ignatia works especially well with silent grief, though it also helps those at the other extreme-constant crying, fear, fright and anxiety. Ignatia types have a sensitive nervous system so it’s not surprising that their bodies react to emotional stress with twitchings, spasms, a lump in the throat feeling, nervous headaches or insomnia. Nervous debility caused fom loss, living in stressful situations, frustration and disappointment or long, intense periods of study can all be soothed by Ignatia.

If you find yourself constantly thinking about painful situations and you sigh deeply and often, this homeopathic remedy might be of help.  As all disappointed loves know, insomnia or nightmares may be your only choice– until Ignatia. Its symptoms tend to be erratic and spasmodic, they may tighten and release often as the body and mind try to restore balance. Its conditions usually feel better for eating and with warmth and worse with emotional disturbance, coffee and cold fresh air.

Whether natural to the individual or induced by emotions, the people who need Ignatia's support the most are sensitive, idealistic, and sometimes secretive, whose moods may alternate frequently– tears turning to laughter and back again. They may internalize their feelings so well that only their sighs let you know what is beneath the surface. Over time they can become very defensive, touchy, suspicious, jealous and even rude. The line between Nat mur and Ignatia for grief and suppressed feelings is narrow. One way to tell the difference is their response to sympathy, Nat mur may resent it, while Ignatia just prefers to be alone. Ignatia should be considered first when overwhelmed by recent grief.

- Miranda Castro

What's the #1 Homeopathic Remedy for Joint Pain & Stiffness?

If you were thinking Arnica montana, you would be close, but not correct!  While Arnica is considered the number one homeopathic remedy for pain, it's primary keynotes are "muscle soreness" and "over-exertion".  Another answer we saw a few times when we posted this question on our facebook page was Ruta grav, but this homeopathic remedy is more closely aligned with joint "injuries".  Rhus tox, on the other hand, is well known homeopathic pain remedy with major symptoms that involve "joint pain" and "stiffness".   Rhus tox can be indicated when pain gets worse in cold, rainy weather, or better from warm, dry weather. 

Rhus Tox - Quick Overview

Stiff joints, backs and sciatic pains which need gentle motion can depend on this classic homeopathic remedy’s safe healing benefits. It has a special affinity for easing a variety of inflammations including blistering itchy rashes, hives, eye inflammations, cold sores, raw sore throats and colds. Restless worried nerves, headaches and nervous fatigue can find it soothing as well. Rhus tox applies best when symptoms improve with heat and worsen at night and in damp cold weather. 

Buy Homeopathic Rhus tox

Here's a more detailed symptom picture to help you pinpoint if rhus tox is the right homeopathic remedy for you.

Rhus tox ranks among the best homeopathic remedies for easing stiff joints with tearing pains, swelling, redness, sprains, etc.. It earned the title “Rusty Gate Remedy” by relieving joint and back pains that hurt on initial movement but improve after limbering up– just like an old gate that squeaks at first but quiets down after a bit. Also like the rusty gate, these joints do not like cold damp weather– they can be great storm predictors. For back relief, Rhus specializes in strain or injury, stiff necks, lower back pain, lumbago, even sciatica, especially if they feel better lying on a hard surface, walking or bending backwards. Similar joint pain shows up in Rhus’ flu or fever along with a dry swollen throat, hoarseness, chills and much weariness and fatigue.

For skin, Rhus tox soothes itching, blistering rashes and red patches whether due to poison ivy, other irritants or hives, especially if symptoms worsen with getting wet or cold. Certain cases of shingles have found much relief in this remedy as well. Rhus' anti-inflammatory powers extend to soothing eye inflammation, swollen eyelids and cold sores, as well as facial swelling and heavy, painful-to-touch occipital headaches.

Whether induced by pains, irritations or other stresses, cases with extreme restlessness, anxious nerves and a sense of helplessness can find additional relief in Rhus tox. Other symptoms and charachteristics that indicate Rhus include: a desire for fresh, but not cold, air, a worsening of symptoms at night, a frequent desire to stretch and sleep disturbed by dreams of exertion. It applies best to chilly individuals very sensitive to cold conditions. All its symptoms are better with heat, hot bathing and dry weather, and worse at night and with damp cold.

A closer look at homeopathic Natrum mur - to combat everything "dry"

The abnormally dry weather in many parts of the country is expected to extend allergy season and also make it worse for many of us in the United States.  Even though you might not live in an area effected by draught, or extreme dry weather, allergens like ragweed pollen and others can travel on the wind for 400 miles or more, making your allergy season longer and worse as well. 

The first homeopathic remedies you might think of for hayfever and allergies are Allium cepa, Euphrasia and Hydrastis.  We've written about these homeopathic remedies for hayfever here.  Although these homeopathic remedies are each excellent in their own right, one you may not have considered, includes dryness as one of it's main "keynotes", and is also a key ingredient in some leading Hayfever and Allergy combination remedies.  That homeopathic remedy is Natrum mur.

Natrum mur

The cell salt made from sea salt restores a range of imbalances. For colds, sinus pressure, post nasal drip, hay fever and sore throats, the use of Nat mur is indicated by a dry rawness and thickening clearish mucus.

Dryness underlies many of Nat mur's applications. Its colds and congestions have a dry rawness along with thickening clear to whitish mucus. These include colds, hay fever and sinus pressure often marked by profuse nasal discharge, watery eyes, post nasal drip, dry tickling coughs or dry sore throats. Other applications with connections to internal dryness include cold sores, flaky skin, dandruff, cracked lips, fever blisters, eye irritation, vaginal dryness, constipation, incontinence and other acute urinary symptoms.

 On the emotional plane, the dryness becomes idiomatic as Nat mur applies to poorly circulated stress - suppressed grief, humiliation and heartbreaks. Sadness, irritability, anger, sleeplessness and haunting memories tend to dominate. These are most marked in emotional individuals who do not want to express emotions and, though considerate of others, may appear cold as they reject sympathy and actually feel worse with consolation. They often are very sensitive to music and can become quite discontented. They tend to keep troubles to themselves, dwell on unpleasant memories and may become easily offended perfectionists. Whenever a new grief, sadness or even music brings up old griefs as if fresh, Nat mur can help resolve the stress and relieve its effects.

Complaints tend to improve with open air, deep breathing and tight clothing, and worsen with consolation, more emotion, hormonal fluctuations and sunlight (especially headaches). A deep crack in the lower lip and a desire for salty foods further indicate a need for Nat mur.

Which Homeopathic Potency?

The idea that a homeopathic remedy is stronger the higher its dilution, is confusing at best.  For starters, here are some basic tenets to follow.

1. In general: Start low so you can go higher, clearing symptoms as potency increases. 6X is our standard whenever potency is not specified. 

2. Selection: Lower potencies cover a wider range of symptoms, so are ideal if you are not certain.  Higher potencies need more accurate selection to stimulate cure.

3. Severity: The more severe the symptoms, the higher the potency you might want to use, especially when taking Arnica after an accident or if there’s a sudden onset of flu symptoms.

4.Exceptions: Physical symptoms respond well to low potencies, mental emotional symptoms often respond better to 30x or higher.

5. Frequency: The higher the potency, the less often you need to dose. Stop or reduce dosing when symptoms improve.

6. Aggravations: High potencies can stimulate more healing aggravations (like the purging of a sinus infection), so beginners might want to start with low potencies. 

Which is stronger 6X or 30X?

Less is more in homeopathy.  30x is more dilute but also more potent and therefore deeper acting than 6X. The benefit of 6X is that it requires less precision in selection and can be ideal for light, repeatable dosing.

Are you calm before the storm? 

Nervousness, Nervous Tension, Nervous Debility and Homeopathy

"I was nervous before the storm even arrived."  "I was nervous being in the house by myself." "I was nervous watching the news on television!"

The storm has passed, clean up has begun and most of the media is moving on to other topics. Even so, it’s compelling to write about how the 24 hour news media latched on to the story of Hurricane Irene, and somehow made it seem as though nothing else in the world mattered or was happening. It’s easy to get caught up in the drama. After all, people’s lives and livelihoods are in harm’s way; structures and landscapes are in danger of being altered forever; and mixed in with all the images and talking heads is potentially useful or even life-saving information for those of us who were in the path of the storm.

Although it should be obvious that “hyper-exposure” to such events can cause stress, nervous tension from so much media attention and focus may also be more subtle. These are the occasions where the gentle, natural healing action of homeopathy can be especially helpful.

In “The Biochemic Handbook, author J.B. Chapman uses the term ‘Nervous Debility’. "This is a state where nerve force is being used up more quickly than it can be generated, and when we recognize this simple fact we realize that to stimulate the nerves with so-called "tonics" is one way of aggravating the trouble... Grief, worry, undue mental exertion, irregular habits, emotional extravagance; these are the parasitical influences which rob the nerves of their vitality. Treatment should aim to increase the supply of nervous energy and to bring the nerves back to a state of normal tranquility."

Nervous Tension - Tissue P

A balancing influence whenever any of us are physically and mentally stressed. This homeopathic remedy combination of cell salts offers healing support when nerves are pushed to the test, when life’s challenges seem a bit overwhelming.

Whether the stress comes from tension, pain, fear, anger, weakness or a host of other sources, this gentle homeopathic remedy combination is perfect for growing minds and bodies. Because they are made from minerals critical to our cells, cells salts provide the gentlest, most straightforward way to restore balance, health, vitality.

Homeopathic Ingredients

• Kali phos - The nerve nutrient of cell salts can ease physically or emotionally stressed nerves.
• Calc fluor - This cell salts gives tissues structural support and bounce-back-ability.
• Calc phos - The growth and repair cell salt offers strength and relief to cells trying to grow, convalesce or keep up with daily repairs. It can be especially apt for kids to relieve study headaches, growing pains, sugar highs and periods of discontentment.
• Mag phos - This very relaxing anti-spasmodic cell salt can be called on w

Tranquility #74

Calming, stabilizing homeopathic relief when stress leads to sadness, fatigue, irritability and sleeplessness.  Stressed nerves, aging nerves, grieving, angry, tired and sleepless nerves, can all benefit from this remedy’s unique, nerve soothing formula. This classic combination provides calming comfort to overtaxed nerves without adding the stress of contra-indications or groggy side effects.

Every single remedy ingredient in this unique combination’s calming, nerve-stabilizing formula, applies to situations in which stress, fatigue, grief or emotional turmoil can cause a downward spiral of sadness, weariness and sleeplessness. As its relief is non drowsy, non habit forming and 100% worry free for all ages, it can be applied whenever dark clouds are hovering nearby.

Homeopathic Ingredients

• Kali phos - The nerve nutrient cell salt, offers balancing, revitalizing support when injury, illness, stress or sadness result in a heavy, yet restless fatigue, sleeplessness or loss of nerve power.
• Ignatia - Homeopathy’s emotional first aid remedy, relieves nerves frayed by a range of emotional stresses, including grief, loss, breakups, disappointment, homesickness, anger, jealousy or just sadness.
• Agnus castus - This unique remedy made from the Chaste Tree is known to help lighten the sadness and depressed spirits that can haunt the weary.

Key Single Homeopathic Remedies for Nervousness & Nervous Tension

Single homeopathic remedies are derived from a single source - primarily plant, mineral or chemical. They are the essence of homeopathy and therefore engage all the principles and concepts that make homeopathy a comprehensive system of healing. Highly multifaceted, most single remedies address a wide array of health issues.

Kali phos: The cell salt nerve and brain cells depend on most, Kali phos (potassium phosphate), helps nerves recover, relax and regain strength. Kali phos offers balancing, revitalizing support when injury, illness, stress or sadness result in a heavy, yet restless fatigue or loss of nerve power.

Lycopodium: From nerves and indecision to colds and digestive troubles, this remedy’s range is extensive, especially for those who worry and battle with self confidence (too much and too little).  Other characteristics include fear of change, irritability, obstinacy, stage fright and exam nerves. Worried, indecisive young boys with low self confidence often find it very beneficial.

Ignatia: For emotional trauma, grief, disappointment, anger, fear or even homesickness, Ignatia can add clarity and help balance nerves and sadness.  It also helps you avoid or ease many stress-related ailments, especially if marked by a lump-in-the-throat sensation and much sighing.

Pulsatilla: This homeopathic remedy specializes in affectionate, clingy, sometimes moody children or adults who hate hot stuffy rooms and crave fresh open air.  Other characteristics include anxious dreams, restlessness and a constant need for sympathy and fresh air.

Potency:

1. Start low so you can grow, clearing symptoms as potency increases. 6X is our standard.

2. Lower potencies cover a wider range of symptoms, so are ideal if you are not certain
which remedy to choose.

3. The more severe the symptoms, the higher the
potency you can use.

4. The higher the potency, the less often you dose. Either way, stop when symptoms improve.

5. Physical symptoms respond well to low potencies, mental emotional symptoms often
respond better to 30x or higher.

6. High potencies sometimes stimulate more healing aggravations (like the purging of a sinus infection), so beginners might start with low
potencies and increase slowly if needed.

Homeopathy Helps Kids Start Off On The Right Foot

Even though summer is still in full swing, the new school year is quickly approaching, and it's just the right time to consider homeopathic remedies that provide back-to-school support.

How will your child react to the next writing assignment, mistake, disappointment? Between the new teachers, classrooms, classmates, schedule, germs,... and leaving summer behind, the first days of school are very stressful even for homeschoolers. Nerves are restless, senses heightened, emotions piqued. Children often become vulnerable in these first few days, and they need all the support you can offer to get off on the right foot. 1-800 Homeopathy provides safe, non toxic, non addictive, non invasive homeopathic remedies to help them do and feel their best through all the mental, emotional and physical challenges of school.

General Support with Homeopathic Cell Salts

While all the cell salts have their place in any health plan, one stands out as irreplaceable for children and young people aged 0-21 and beyond.

Calc phos

This homeopathic cell salt helps the body resolve growing pains, study headaches, acute anemia, and many more symptoms related to growing up.  At any age its support applies to structural stresses– injured bones, slow healing wounds, joint pain, back pain, weak digestion, acute simple anemia and heavy periods. Key indicators include a desire for change or travel, cravings for fatty, salty foods and an intolerance for dairy products or fruit.

Elasticity Tissue G

This homeopathic cell salt combination helps stretching veins, bones, muscles and other tissues keep their flexibility while advancing inches every year. Though we often think of elasticity as an aging issue, imagine the elasticity it takes to go from an egg to 8 pounds, or a newborn to over 5 feet. The elasticity in our veins keeps them from getting stretched and varicosed. The elasticity in our muscles, tendons, skin and nerves keeps them strong and flexible.

Homeopathic Ingredients: Calc fluor, Calc phos, Kali phos, Natrum mur

Homeopathic Support for Nervousness

Responses designed to save our lives in emergencies, get in the way of doing our best. Our stomachs flutter, our nerves quiver, our minds dull or tense. These solutions can calm the turmoil and free the mind to succeed:

Nervous Tension Tissue P

Whether the stress results from mental strain (sadness, anger, work, study, tests, deadlines, pressues, sleeplessness...) or physical strain (pain, illness, growth, convalescence, pregnancy), this homeopathic remedy offers balancing vitality and healing support that is safe for all ages and stages. Its basic cell salts offer cells support for what they need to grow and mend tissues as well as to relieve tension, fatigue, growing pains, cramps and daily stress.

Homeopathic Ingredients: Kali phos, Calc fluor, Calc phos, Mag phos

Anxiety #320

This homeopathic remedy is the simplest combination for any nerves. While most schools do not allow children to take even homeopathic medicines with them, a dose before they get on the bus will go far.  Whether set off by sudden frights, anxious thoughts, fatigue or ongoing stress, this remedy offers nerves calming, natural, stabilizing comfort without groggy side effects.

Homeopathic Ingredients: Aconite, Caffeinum, Nat carb, Kali phos, Passiflora

Concentration Issues - Study & Fatigue

Does your restless child feel blank when trying to concentrate, so he fidgets instead? If yes,  homeopathic Gelsemium can bring clarity. 

Does your child get headaches from studying or concentrating? Calc phos could be the key.

Is your bright but busy child making more calculation errors than seems apt?  That could easily be a Nux vom case. 

If the errors are more in writing, look up Lycopodium, particularly if he's a born worrier and is timid­ except at home. 

Is your child just too jittery, frazzled or depressed to excel? Kali phos could be just what you need. 

Is your child just too excitable, too energetic or too worried to study?  That restlessness might settle with Phosphorus.

Homeopathic Product Testimonials

My son is in High School and I was concerned about exam stress, peer pressure and all the other demands a teenager copes with. Before exams or presentations he always had a sore stomach accompanied by diarrhea, he often had trouble sleeping, feeling restless and nervous. All this while growing leaps and bounds.

I know that dealing with stress is a normal part of growing up, but I looked for something simple and natural to provide support. The cell salts are already in our bodies, so I'm not even adding anything new, just encouraging the bodies tissues to keep up to speed.

Since I've introduced The "Nervous Tension-TISP" in his life, it's been a lot easier for him to do his best. He doesn't get colds or diarrhea anymore when he's got a big test coming up and he's sleeping much better. I've got another son moving into High School and it's great to know we've got some back up support.

C.L.

My 5-year old son struggled last year due to behavior problems. It was so bad that his private school was not going to offer him a new contract. After taking kali phos 3 times a day, he behavior changed dramatically! Now he loves school and the school loves him too! Thanks for the info.

Why are homeopathic remedies good for your garden?

Because pain free backs, muscles and joints make better gardeners!

Did you know Monday, June 6, 2011 is National Gardening Exercise Day?  While it is not a national holiday so most of us won't have the day off to garden, the occasion is a great opportunity to raise awareness that "Gardening" is a great way to exercise.

Squatting, bending, shoveling, hauling, pulling and lifting... Exercise? Yes!  It sounds like a perfect fitness plan! Add that it works up a good sweat, burns calories and furnishes the diet with fresh wholesome fruits and veggies, and it is the perfect summer activity.

Like any exercise it is fun, until your back, knees, necks, muscles, tendons, etc, start to complain.

Tips:
1. Make sure you are doing it right for your back

2. Take Arnica before you start, to minimize the trauma if your foot gets tangled in the cucumber vines, and to ease the overall strain on muscles and joints.

3. Stock up on the basics for joint, back and muscle support and pain relief.

Garden Workout Shouldn't be a Pain

Every spring, Dr. Jeri Anderson sees the same signs: back pain, achy knees, and sore necks and shoulders.

"We see more acute lower-back pain this time of year than any other," said the Sacramento chiropractor. "Mondays are especially busy. When the weather first starts getting nice, it's unbelievable what people will do to themselves in a weekend. They look like a train wreck."

Gardening – as we're reminded by sources ranging from first lady Michelle Obama to Weight Watchers – is indeed exercise. Such activities as raking leaves or pulling weeds can burn as many calories as golf or bicycling.

Gardening may soothe the soul, but it also can strain the back

Ah, spring! 'Tis the season when our collective fancies turn to ... digging in the dirt.

Gardening stimulates the senses, provides emotional expression and releases stress — and those are just the psychological benefits. The physical benefits are equally impressive; it involves all three types of physical activities — endurance, flexibility and strength. Puttering around the yard offers a workout that doesn't seem like work.

Early treatment for backaches may be effective in the long-term

Backaches are not uncommon in people who do heavy lifting or participate in physical activities on a regular basis.

The National Center for Homeopathy conference, titled Homeopathy Meets the World, truly met its goal for the event– "to inform, refresh & inspire!" Over 400 enthusiasts, students and homeopaths attended to learn the fundamentals of homeopathy for birth, aging, coughs, etc., to hone their skills with insights from international experts or to discuss the future of homeopathy. With noted authors of homeopathic books, including Miranda Castro and George Vithoulkas, the panels of experts for the introductory and advanced sessions were very impressive.

While it would take an incredible effort to outdo this year's performance, next year's spring conference already looks promising.

If you feel like you've been slicing onions instead of enjoying the flowers of Spring, this single remedy relieves burning nasal discharge, watery eyes, hoarseness, hacking cough and raw sore throat to help you breath easily.

Euphrasia
This plant earned the name eyebright by the burning eye irritation it can cause, and therefore cure. If the eyes are burning and the nose is running check this one, especially if the only thing worse than the garden is a smoke filled room. May clear your allergy induced cough or headache, too.

Hydrastis
As all autumn hayfever sufferers know, golden seal's bright yellow flower causes (and thus cures homeopathically) thick, yellow, ropy mucus, everywhere and anywhere - even in the spring.

Natrum mur
While this remedy's source, sodium chloride, tends to dry out everything, the homeopathic version is excellent for colds and allergies that start out dry - often with a dry sore throat - and soon develop post nasal drip and cold symptoms as the body makes watery to gel-like mucus to relieve the dryness.

Allergy News from 1-800 Homeopathy

Exposure to some substances during childhood can cause allergies, research suggests

A new study has found that children and adults who are overexposed to certain substances, like antibacterial soaps, may be at an increased risk to develop allergies. Coughing, sneezing, wheezing, runny noses or sore throats could all be allergy symptoms.

Climate change may be prolonging allergy seasons

Areas in northern U.S. have been experiencing longer allergy-inducing ragweed seasons in conjunction with increasing ground temperatures, a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science has found.

Cell phone use may contribute to allergic reactions

Millions of people in the U.S. suffer from allergies that are caused by exposure to common agents, such as dust mites, pollen or molds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Study: Mold can also grow in the lungs, causing allergic reactions and asthma

New research led by scientists at the University of Leicester in the UK suggests that asthmatics who suffer allergic reactions to common mold may actually have that mold growing in their lungs. Some of these allergies may cause individuals to experience runny noses, sneezing, hives, coughing, watery eyes and sore throats.

Cold temperatures can irritate eyes

Symptoms of eye dryness and itchiness are typically associated with spring allergies, but a new study published in the journal Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science suggests that chilly temperatures may trump sinus troubles as the leading cause for eye irritation.

Spotlight on Homeopathic Remedy Gelsemium semp

When Cold or Flu makes you feel heavy and dull, Gelsemium offers a lift.

When a dull, heavy, but restless, weariness dominates any condition, think Gelsemium. A dose before an exam or interview can keep minds dulled by anticipation from drawing a blank. Heavy fatigue with muscular weakness marks its use for flu, restless colds, diarrhea and dull, pressing headaches. This can be a very steadying homeopathic remedy, especially to quiet, often low-spirited loners who dread public speaking.
age.

When poisoned by the roots of this plant (thinking it was the herbal Jasmine), people felt a great heavy, paralytic weakness. When applying homeopathy and the Law of Similars, doctors found the homeopathic remedy treated conditions and individuals marked with that same heavy, even trembling, weariness and fatigue.

Possibly best known for its flu relief, Gelsemium aids an achy, weak, heavy, yet somewhat restless or trembling flu that builds up gradually to great fatigue. Its flu relief includes diverse symptoms including aching fever, chills and congestion; flushed face, droopy eyelids, little thirst, a lump in the throat sensation, pain from throat to ear on swallowing, a dazed, dull mind and much fatigue.

A Gelsemium -style dull congestive headache can be so violent with hammering, pulsating, ‘like a tight band’, occipital pain that you cannot do anything but lie still. Its symptoms ‘paralyzed by fear’ are most pronounced when having to perform. If you’ve ever forgotten your lines while on stage, or blanked out on a question in an interview and stood there totally dumbfounded, you know just what this is like. If dullness of mind, upset 'butterfly' stomach or even anticipation-induced diarrhea prevail over any situation, Gelsemium can calm nerves to help bring out the best. Its anticipatory nerves disturb, even paralyze, mental and physical coordination.

The best action of homeopathic Gelsemium is on quiet, timid, often low spirited loners who fill with apathy and want to be left alone. They dread public speaking, exams– any kind of ordeal; fear losing control and falling; and under stress, lack physical, mental and emotional will power. Often its heavy dull disorders follow bad or disappointing news or even a spell of great excitement (ups or downs). It is often referred to as the 4 D’s remedy for Dull, Drowsy, Dopey and Dazed.

Aconite - The Homeopathic Remedy for Colds with Sudden Onset

Sudden sniffles, scares and shocks - The safest, simplest way to calm jangled nerves and to build our body's defenses against colds and cold weather issues.

With Autumn winds whipping in, cold germs flooding schools, and immune systems weakening from too much stress, this homeopathic remedy can really hit the mark.

Stopping colds before they start is Aconite’s most popular application. When shocked by cold wind or trauma, some systems tend to overreact - sending up sudden fevers and setting off sniffles and sneezes. When given with the first sneeze, sniffle, dry throat, dry barking cough, ear pain, fever or other sign that a cold is on its way, Aconite can help your body cut it short. Its cold symptoms may be marked by a thirst for cold drinks, chills, a flushed face (sometimes just one cheek is red) and the fear that it is bound to get worse.

In first aid, Aconite has an uncanny ability to minimize the negative responses to physical and emotional shocks. When fear and anxiety threaten to set off your nerves following an accident or trauma, Aconite can steady the nerves and help you address the situation.

 Aconite calms nerves and minimizes latent physical and mental effects. Key symptoms to look for include sudden intense responses, tingling and/or burning sensations and a flushed face that becomes pale on standing.

Though generally a remedy for the first 24 - 48 hours, Aconite has helped complaints that started after a previous panicky situation. Aconite also treats sudden bursting, burning headaches; eye inflammation when the whites are reddish; fevers that feel hot inside and chilly outside and may alternate cold and hot at night; sleeplessness from anxious dreams; mothers and babies frightened by childbirth; restless teething children with hot red cheeks; and of course sudden ear pain or irritation.

If symptoms are marked by fear/fright, sudden onset, tingling sensation and pain intolerance are present, Aconite can bring needed calm and comfort.

When do you choose Aconite over Arnica to give first after an accident? Arnica is stunned but says something like, “no, I’m fine, don’t touch me,” while Aconite is restless and more apt to say, “help me, I’m scared.” Aconite can be followed immediately by Arnica to address physical trauma. Both remedies have a place in every first aid kit and birth bag. Please note: Shock can be serious. Never call off the ambulance because a remedy has you feeling better.

As You Said...

I am 63 years old now, and I had been prone to earaches since I was a child. I can remember my mother sending me to bed with a hot water bottle to ease the pain. About three years ago I started taking Aconite 30x and Chamomilla 30x simultaneously as soon as an earache started. I have not had an earache in a year. This works for my dog too!

Arnica Galore!

My husband had complained of shoulder pain for weeks. I finally convinced him that just 3 doses of Arnica would make a difference. He tried it! His pain is gone and has not returned since! He is a believer now!!
Arnica is an essential at our house.

Amy B.

My grandson fell and hit the left side of his face against the end table. It immediately started bruising and swelling up. The area around his left eye was swelling up so he could barely see. I knew what to do, grab arnica montana. My daughter who is always against trying anything I suggest gave in to my request. After taking 2 Arnica twice, the swelling went down. I instructed her to continue the dose the next day. By morning the swelling was gone and only a small bruise under his eye was left.

S.W.

I own a large day spa and wellness centre... I am the ...skin care specialist... Many of my clients are opting for surgical cosmetic enhancements so we started offering them the topical and internal Arnica to speed up their healing process. Every single client who has used the Arnica has seen a faster recovery/healing time than those who opted not to take the Arnica! In many cases the recovery time is 3 times faster! When Arnica is used, bruising from eyelifts is gone in less then 7 days!
.... Even their surgeons are surprised at the results! We are so pleased with all of the products that your company provides...thank you!

N.T.

Back in the 1930's and 1940’s my Mom always used Arnica for our bruises.
I am now 78 and still using it when needed. I had a fall and landed on my knee, hip and shoulder. I ... had bad bruises all over. I applied the Arnica everywhere needed and sure enough the pain stopped and the bruises started to fade. So believe it when they say Arnica works for this type injury. Kids always feel better just having Mom or someone rub it on also.

June E.

I was able to provide relief to my 15-yr. old daughter who is new to running track for high school. She came home with such sore muscles...
The Arnica absolutely did it.

Thanks., Mary Jo T

The day after my surgery for a bad leg/ankle break, my surgeon sent a psych specialist in to see me. I’m 76.  I finally got her to tell me why...
They wanted to know if I was smoking pot or on some other recreational drug as I was refusing all pain meds. I finally confessed to Arnica and Staphysagria and she asked where she could find out about this homeopathy - I sent her to your website. Symphytum put it all back together well ahead of schedule.

Thank you, nw

Backache #199

Dear Luyties, This is one of the many funny moments homeopathy has given me. 5 big guys were taking forever to cut down my rotted out maple tree.
I asked if I could help with anything and the leader said, “only if you have a miracle cure for backache.” So I gave him - and soon all of thembr>-- a dose of your #199s. Boy were they impressed! The tree came down without event. Later that week they all came into the store... and bought all we had in stock- and the Arnica, too. I gave them your catalog and hope they are still chopping.

Thanks, R.C.

A friend of mine at work commented on sciatica pain she had been having for almost a month. She had been to 2 Doctors and was given pain killers, that were not working but they did not have much else to offer her. I sent for your sciatica remedy & asked her if she would try it.  She had never used homeopathic remedies before but was in so much pain she agreed to try it. One week later she had no pain. She is still pain free 6 months later. She was thrilled and said she would definitely try a homeopathic remedy again first before relying on conventional medicine.

Homeopathy Helps Students Rise to the Occasion

Some Kids take tests with no tension at all, some get a bit nervous and tense, while others suffer with tummy aches, restlessness, headaches, nerves, mental dullness and an inability to focus. Just as some bodies overreact to allergens or toxins, others overreact to stresses like tests, public speaking or performing. The chemical patterns are not that different. Signals get crossed and with the right stimulus, the body can find better solutions.

Fortunately homeopathy does not discriminate. Its applications include mental, emotional and physical symptoms equally. Without slowing, accelerating, depressing or stimulating mental function, our safe natural homeopathic remedies help the body steady its responses and maintain a healthier balance.

Lycopodium – This homeopathic remedy helps when exams and other stresses challenge self-confidence. The students needing Lycopodium most are worriers and have issues of boldness and timidity. They worry, become nervous, may suffer with headaches or gassy indigestion, but in the end, they are usually able to rise to the occasion and succeed.  Buy Now

"Thank you for teaching me about this fantastic form of medicine and helping me help others."

Dear Luyties or 1-800-Homeopathy,

This is an update to a testimonial I sent you two years ago.
I gave my friend Annie a bottle of your Gelsemium 30x for her grandson, JB, when he was going to be put out of his charter school for not being able to say his ABCs out loud to the teacher and school principal. Knowing that he knew his ABCs very well and that he often went mute when I asked him questions, I hoped Gelsemium would help him perform, and it did. He said his ABCs and began earning stars on his schoolwork. He soon figured out when he needed the remedy because he would ‘forget stuff and wiggle around’. He takes it very sparingly if at all, even now.

Since using Gelsemium many of his anxieties have waned and he is usually the teacher’s pet. He can speak openly to his teachers and other adults, which he was never able to do before. He has a much better understanding of how life works and how he responds to things. When he is fidgety, he asks the teacher for permission to do jumping jacks in the closet so he can sit still and not be bad. Last spring he told his teacher that if he ate the cookie she gave him, he would be put in the closet for being bad. A few questions later, he explained that when he eats sweets, he can’t stay in his chair or keep from talking too much. She thanked him for his wisdom, gave him a carrot instead and has stopped serving cookies in class. All his teachers like to tell Annie what he did or said in school.

Annie is the first to say that her grandson's thoughts and ideas like doing jumping jacks or not eating sweets did not come from her or his mom – ‘he figures things out for himself in the funniest ways’.

I now run study groups and am taking classes in homeopathy. Thank you for teaching me about this fantastic form of medicine and helping me help others.

We've Joined The Kindness Wave,

And You Can Too!

What is the kindness wave?

Simply put, the "Kindness Wave" is one million stickers, 195 Countries, one intention--- Endless Kindness. No money, pledges, or promises involved.

The idea is to inspire acts of kindness by giving out and applying re-stickable "Carry Out Kindness" stickers like the one pictured here.

The objective of this initiative is to raise awareness around kindness - to one's self, to others and to our natural world - and incorporate kind acts into each day. Many find the practice of kindness a powerful tool in creating positive change and fueling prosperity (in whatever ways you may define that term). This "Carry Out Kindness" initiative was created by leading Feng Shui Specialists to counter cynicism and lost faith, and to encourage good will, positive feelings, calm and happiness. Find out more about "Carry Out Kindness" here.

1-800 Homeopathy is supporting "Carry Out Kindness" by attaching these re-attachable pink stickers to every invoice between August 30, 2010 and September 7, 2010.

Just peel off the tag, apply it or tag someone you know or perhaps someone you don't know, and move the kindness wave forward. Place your order at 1-800 Homeopathy between August 30, 2010 and September 7, 2010 and then check the invoice in the box for your pink sticker!

Take Homeopathy to the Ball Game!

A loyal customer sent us this story with the note, "My silliness paid off when I took homeopathy to the Cardinals game."

"I took my two daughters and two grandchildren to a St. Louis afternoon ball game in late July. It was hot!!!!

While my daughters said I was silly, I packed up a few of my favorite remedies. I took my handy kit, emptied out what I did not think I would need and packed a few others that might be handier.

This is how the day went.

I took some Backache #199 to keep my knees and hips happy on the long walk from the parking lot – no pain at all.

My grandson tripped and twisted his ankle before we even found our seats. Arnica and MuscleAches #44 kept the swelling and pain down and saved the day.

My granddaughter became gassy after the hot dog and Carbo veg 6x quieted her tummy, but nausea set in later so I gave her the Recovery Remedy #77 because it had Pulsatilla (a remedy that often works for her) and other remedies for digestive trouble. She perked up in many ways soon after taking that one.

As it was very hot, I put Bioplasma in our water bottles, which I think helped us a lot. One of my daughters is more sensitive to heat, so she needed my Headaches #33 on the way home. It eased her headache and flushed face (Belladonna, I suppose).

The Cardinals won the game so there was no need to boost our spirits.  I did stumble a bit in the parking lot, but a dose of Arnica kept me from ever noticing it again.

Thank you for helping me take care of my family through thick and thin, highs and lows, young and old! As it was in search of something to help my mother many years ago that I found you, this makes four generations of grateful Luyties fans.

A Closer Look At Nervous Tension - Tissue P

New Job.  New people. New classes. New life?  Sometimes change is overwhelming. From the first day of kindergarten to final exams at college, from your first interview to a mid-life career change, this soothing homeopathic cell salt combination helps us ease the transition into new situations and new opportunities - with less anxiety and tension.

Nervous Tension - Tissue P

Calc fluor, Calc phos, Kali phos, Mag phos.

A balancing influence whenever any of us are physically and mentally stressed. This homeopathic remedy combination of cell salts offers healing support when nerves are pushed to the test, when life’s challenges seem a bit overwhelming.

Whether the stress comes from tension, pain, fear, anger, weakness or a host of other sources, this gentle homeopathic remedy combination is perfect for growing minds and bodies. Because they are made from minerals critical to our cells, cells salts provide the gentlest, most straightforward way to restore balance, health, vitality.  When transitions and change nudge us into stress-the cell salts lend a calm and steady shoulder to lean on.

Calc Fluor (Calcium Fluoride)

While providing much of the hardness in our teeth and bones, the homeopathic remedy calc fluor also keeps many of our tissues soft and flexible. As the compound responsible for elasticity in our bone, joint, muscle, teeth and vein tissues, Calcium fluoride, and thus its cell salt remedy Calc fluor, is invaluable for tissues that are growing and developing by leaps and bounds. From growing bones to varicose veins and all the flexibility issues in between, this cell salt offers fundamental healing support. Problems like stretch marks, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, obstinate lower backache, lumbagos, weak ankles, loose or decaying teeth, muscular weakness and enlarged glands all respond to its support. As with Calc phos, it can make a big difference in slow growing, late walking babies and young children. Some books document its ability to minimize cataracts, calcareous deposits and hard swellings. Certain bony growths like bone spurs, soften and dissolve under its influence as well.

Calc phos (calcium phosphate)

Growth spurts, study headaches, and simple anemia are just the beginning of what this homeopathic remedy can help growing children overcome. Yet we can all use its strengthening support from time to time. As the cellular building block of the homeopathic cell salt remedies, Calc phos aids many conditions with structural stress, growth or weakness.

Cell Salt Remedy Calc phos can be a great boon during dentition, 'toddlerhood', growth spurts, puberty and, at the other end, when systems begin to weaken and shrink. Young children who are slow to get their teeth or walk or talk can get a jump start with Calc phos’ support. Children who get sugar highs, study headaches, and stress related stomach aches; or become pale and weary after a growth spurt can use its balancing influence, especially if they are forever saying, “I’m bored” or get bad attitude marks.

At any age, the homeopathic remedy Calc phos can help with specific ailments that cause or result from stress or weakness. Arthritic joints, back and neck pain that are worse with the slightest draft, carpal tunnel symptoms, tendonitis and slow healing bones can find strengthening support in Calc phos. When simple acute anemia, weak digestion or fatigue linger after an illness or childbirth it can boost vitality.  You may find it particularly helpful for those who are forever discontented, restless; who desire change or travel, sigh or grumble a great deal and crave bacon, ham (fatty, salty food), and ice cream, especially if cold aggravates their symptoms.  It is especially suited to teething children and women in labor, and anyone who has been in a highly emotional state (especially angry) for a long period of time and who has become over-sensitive, mentally or physically, as a result. Hahnemann said of this remedy, ‘It ought not to be given to those who bear pain with patience and resignation,’ as its keynote is unbearable pain."

Kali phos (potassium phosphate)

This universal ‘debuzzer’ homeopathic remedy for babies, kids and adults, is made from a mineral compound critical to nerve and brain cells (though also in muscles, blood and intercellular fluids). Its many applications for both pain and emotional symptoms has made it one of our best selling Homeopathic single remedies. When loss of nerve power or agitation result from injury, illness, stress or sadness, Cell Salt Remedy Kali phos helps nerves recover, relax and regain strength.

Kali phos’ pain relief begins with nervous headaches caused by study, stress, grief or nerve injury. Backache, sciatic pain and other neuralgic pains respond well to Kali phos, especially if they result in weakness and cold heavy-feeling limbs. Stress or pain related nausea with empty feeling and bitter belching settle down quickly with Kali phos. It can even quiet buzzing or ringing in the ears.

On the emotional plane homeopathic remedy Kali phos has restorative, calming powers over temper tantrums, pangs of grief and anxiety, hypersensitive nerves, and night terrors. Whenever work, worry, study, stress or illness leave you weary but restless, sad, nervous, gloomy, dreading what might be next, and unable to get up and do something about it Kali phos is a worry free option.

It may be the person’s nature or it may be a temporary state, but the patient who benefits most from the cell salt remedy Kali phos may be shy, nervous, hypersensitive, weak, easily wearied and sometimes quite pessimistic.

Other symptoms include nightmares, sleeplessness and cravings for sweets and ice water.
We often assume mental symptoms are not due to chemical nutritional/cellular imbalance and thus are not part of the health picture and should not be dosed. Next time you are down, let Kali phos show you just how chemical sadness and anxiety can be.

Mag Phos (magnesium phosphate)

If you feel tight, tense, in a knot, then think the homeopathic cell salt remedy Mag phos, and relax. When things go awry, the strong weaken, the studious grow drowsy, the pains radiate, the muscles tense, the nerves spasm, etc., that’s when you know the body needs Mag phos. An imbalance in our magnesium causes nerves and muscles to get out of sync. They cramp, spasm and shoot off pains. An imbalance in phosphates disturbs our vitality causing anxiety, forgetfulness, and confused thinking. Since magnesium phosphate is the compound bodies need in muscle, nerve, brain, spinal marrow and tooth tissue, this remedy can work wonders to those in pain. You know the relief you feel when you relax a tight fist? That is the relaxation this homeopathic remedy brings to tense muscles, cramps and neuralgic pain. Muscle spasms and nerve symptoms as diverse as leg cramps, spasmodic coughs, abdominal pain/colic, flatulent colic, hiccups, toothache, teething pain, stabbing headaches and sciatica yield to this cell salt’s soothing touch. Mag phos aids many spasmodic conditions in which nerves and muscles cannot cooperate: charley horses and other leg cramps, back spasms, menstrual cramps before and during cycle, musician’s and writer’s cramp, hiccups, colic, and in certain cases, bedwetting.

Except for burning pain, most forms of neuralgia need the cell salt Mag phos as well, particularly radiating, stabbing or shooting, pains including: backache, right sided sciatica, facial neuralgia, tics, twitches, toothache, neuralgic right sided ear pain, neuritis and injured or weary nerves.

Now for the big IF: an important key to homeopathic Mag phos’ relief is better for heat and worse for cold. This is so strong that many recommend a sip or two of hot water immediately after taking the remedy to speed its action. If a hot bath, hot tea, and a warm bed sound like paradise, you might get there with Mag phos.

Homeopathic cell salts give parents "back-up support" for change, nervousness and the normal demands of growing up.

Customer Testimonial for Nervous Tension - TISP

"My son is in High School and I was concerned about exam stress, peer pressure and all the other demands a teenager copes with. Before exams or presentations he always had a sore stomach accompanied by diarrhea, he often had trouble sleeping, feeling restless and nervous. All this while growing leaps and bounds."

"I know that dealing with stress is a normal part of growing up, but I looked for something simple and natural to provide support. The cell salts are already in our bodies, so I'm not even adding anything new, just encouraging the bodies tissues to keep up to speed.
Since I've introduced The "Nervous Tension-TISP" in his life, it's been a lot easier for him to do his best. He doesn't get colds or diarrhea anymore when he's got a big test coming up and he's sleeping much better. I've got another son moving into High School and it's great to know we've got some back up support."

What The Experts Say?

Nervous Debility - "This is a state where nerve force is being used up more quickly than it can be generated, and when we recognize this simple fact we realize that to stimulate the nerves with so-called "tonics" is one way of aggravating the trouble... Grief, worry, undue mental exertion, irregular habits, emotional extravagance; these are the parasitical influences which rob the nerves of their vitality. Treatment should aim to increase the supply of nervous energy and to bring the nerves back to a state of normal tranquility."

from "The Biochemic Handbook"

A practical guide to the benefits and uses of the twelve cell salts.  

A resourceful 127 page book offers a general account of each cell salt, its individual functions in the body, and its range of applications for individual ailments. The guide’s simple symptom repertory and index make including the cell salts in every self care plan a simple option.
