Fearfully & Wonderfully Blog #4: Big Bad Bugs

Image
Spending time outside in the summer and fall is so much fun, but outdoor activities also bring with them a boatload of bothersome bugs.  Whether you're affected by mosquitos, no-seeums, or another bug that bites, homeopathic remedies can help with the intense itching these nasty critters inflict on your skin. For the itching and/or swelling associated with bug bites, we normally think of Apis, Ledum, Staphysagria, or Urtica Urens.  Other times, we may need to think a little more outside the box.  I spent a summer evening at the beach and when I got back home, my legs were covered in big nasty bites (most likely from no-seeums).  The itching was quite bothersome!  I took a remedy called Caladium Seguinium also known to relieve intense itching from insect bites.  Boericke describes in his Materia Medica, "Insect bites that burn and itch intensely."  I had Caladium in a 12C and I used it as often as needed for many days, and after about a week, I no longe...

Fearfully & Wonderfully Blog #3: Sizzling Summer Sun

 Scooter has a story to share with you about his new life as a Florida doggie!  I am loving my new Florida life…I feel so at home!  My personality shines more and more every day.  My people tell me that includes both stinker and sweetie pie.  Being a Florida doggie has been an adjustment, too.  I try to stay on a schedule where I go out for my long walk in the evening because it’s cooler in the evening here in August.  I used to go for my longer walk in the afternoon, but I’m doing a good job with my new schedule.  I normally go out only for a short time in the middle of the day when it’s the hottest.  I like the early mornings too.  But sometimes my people like to go out and get sunshine when it’s sunnier outside because I heard there’s this thing people like to get called a suntan.  They can’t get this suntan thing in the evening when it isn’t sunny outside.  So every once in a while they bring me out in the afternoon and let...

Fearfully & Wonderfully Blog #2: A Powerhouse Remedy for Your Bones

Homeopathy can do so much good work for conditions like Osteoperosis, Osteopenia, Scoliosis, and overall bone health concerns.  When it comes to bone health, there are a couple of remedies that come to mind to keep them strong, but I'd like to share a story about one particular combination remedy that's a powerhouse for any bone related condition.  This remedy is a Banerji Protocol combination of two remedies: Symphytum 200C/Calc Phos 3x.  Here's a success story from one of my students below! "I took Symphytum 200 + Calc Phos 3X once a day from February 13 to February 23, because I was taking other remedies for shoulder pain, and for post dental surgery. Then I took them twice a day from February 24 to May 11, day of the Dexa, bone density test. The same 3D machine was used 2 years ago. At the time osteopenia in hip and femur neck was stable. On May 11, 2026, the test showed an increase of 9.3 % of bone in the same area." Another story is one I heard from a collea...

Fearfully&Wonderfully Blog Number 1: Red Hot Fire Ants!

Summer can bring many fun adventures, but also some unwanted visitors too.  Whether it's mosquitos, bee stings, or other nasty bugs, homeopathy can help ease the discomfort of bites and stings.  This blog will discuss the remedy Ledum Palustre and a story of how it can be helpful for summer bites and stings.  Mosquitos, bees, but what about fire ants?  If you live in the south, you may know about these red hot biting ants.  Check out this success story from one of my students below! "It happened while I was digging a hole for a blackberry bush. I had vaguely heard about fire ants but never encountered them. Hundreds of them came out of a hill next to the hole I was digging. As soon as I realized what was happening, I ran to the house and took Ledum 200, 2 doses 15 minutes apart, hoping to quench the fire in multiple areas of my hands and ankles. It worked quickly. No blisters on the hands, 2 tiny areas on my ankles that I scratched the next day in hot yoga. They...
