Maximize the Holidays, Minimize the Consequences

The holidays are upon us. For many it brings a mixed bag of delights, memories, festivities, social settings, shopping, cooking, feasting, opportunities and obligations which teach us many things. With all the potential for over-indulgent behaviors and their consequences, it's a perfect time for some simple homeopathic solutions.

As you might have noticed on Thanksgiving, holiday feasting is fun until it's done. So before you overdo it again, here are a few clues to help the holiday pleasure continue after the feast. The only problem with general antacids is that we need our acids to digest all the food, so the body often has to compensate with more acids, or deal with less digested food. Homeopathic options minimize the effects of over-consumption without hindering the natural process.

Can you believe you ate the whole thing?

The mess on your holiday table after a meal is a metaphor for how your stomach probably looks and feels on the inside. Likewise, 1-800 Homeopathy combination remedies "spell" relief when you most need it.

Indigestion #178 - This combination provides nutritionally supportive relief for less drastic complaints than our other digestive combinations. It may even prevent ailments from going so far as to need them.

Constipation #66 - Every remedy in this safe, effective combination eases a form of constipation.

Gas Tabs, Wise's #413 - covers all levels of gastric upset from digestive or emotional stresses.

Tummy Aches #179 - You'll love saying "Here's your #179s" instead of just "I'm sorry" every time your child has a tummy ache.

Stomach, Wise's #319 - All three of the remedies in this combo list 'slow or sluggish digestion' which is often at the center of gastric problems, but each addresses a slightly different set of symptoms.

Holiday Singles

Here are three key singles for over-eaters beginning with a ditty for easy recall:

Carbo veg, Gas goes up
Lycopodium, Gas goes down
Nux vom, Gas just hangs around

Carbo veg (vegetable charcoal) Just as charcoal works to control other gasses, its remedy, Carbo veg, can calm the gas in your stomach and the accompanying heartburn, sour belching, indigestion, bloating and other soon-to-be-airborne gasses very quickly. CRBV

Lycopodium This worrier's remedy aids stomach and abdominal pain with colic, bloating, gas, and constipation from over-eating and/or stress. LYCO

Nux vomica When stress from life, work, excess partying, coffee, beer, etc., makes your stomach pay up with gas, indigestion, and colicky constipation, Nux can ease your debt. NUXV

For simple, right from the source

cell salt solutions:

Nat phos, Since its source, sodium phosphate, is critical for assimilating acid, fats, sugars and more, the remedy aids digestive issues with gas, heartburn, indigestion, colic, sour diarrhea, headache... Whenever too much milk, sugar, fruit or alcohol bother you, it is a simple solution to turn to, even for children with "sugar highs" or when muscles ache after a shock or workout (lactic acid).

Many other cell salts are important for digestion and elimination, so we also offer two popular cell salt combinations specific to digestion:

Acidity - Tissue C - Natrum phos, Natrum sulph, Silica
This cell salt combination is a jewel for occasional or recurring acid stomachs, gas-related headaches, constipation, bloating and flatulence. When eating out or too richly, Tissue C is handy before and after meals and by the bed at night, just in case.

Biliousness - Tissue H - Calcarea fluor, Nat mur, Nat sulph
This trio of cell salts combines powers to aid quite a range of gastric ailments. From babies who vomit undigested food, young children who get nauseous with too much stress and study, and adults who get indigestion from fatigue, to all the basics of digestive discomforts: hiccups, flatulence, nausea, burning gas, heartburn, constipation, slow digestion and vomiting. Together this trio should give your body a strong message that help is on the way.
