This is the tenth episode in a series highlighting homeopathic remedies I carry with me all the time. There are almost 50, so it will take a while to complete, especially since I interrupt the series all the time to tell amazing stories about how homeopathy helps heal people and pets!

What can you do with wild hops other than make beer?

It turns out that you can help heal an inflamed lung, ease the pain of mastitis, soften abdominal cramping, and address pericarditis… when you make wild hops into a homeopathic medicine through ultra-dilution and succussion! Bryonia alba 30c is one of our absolute best remedies for anything that is worse from movement and better from pressure.

It should come as no surprise that one of my favorite courses at the Academy of Practical Homeopathy was “History of Homeopathy.” It was incredible to read primary source accounts of treatments and cures from the great homeopaths of the past.

James Tyler Kent (1849-1916), whose reference books are still considered the standard today, was “converted” from practicing conventional medicine to homeopathy when he suffered a particularly difficult case of pleurisy that wouldn’t respond to any of his normal treatments, but was quickly and completely cured with a dose of Bryonia.

Dr. Dorothy Shepherd (1885-1952) received her medical training in Europe and joined many colleagues in treating the wounded during the first World War. By World War II she had switched her focus to practicing entirely homeopathically, and her books are inspiring to read. She wrote, “I must admit, homeopathy has never failed me.” Bryonia was Dr. Shepherd’s favorite medicine for pneumonia.

My mentor, Joette Calabrese, studied under modern homeopath, Dr. Ramakrishnan who said to her, “Seventy percent of appendicitis cases could be cured by Bryonia.” That’s a big claim, but he has the experience to back it up.

Many homeopaths in current practice found Bryonia to be the best and most successful medicine they used for Covid.

Bryonia truly is one of our most useful remedies, and can offer much-needed relief to sufferers when even moving the tiniest bit provokes excruciating pain. It’s gentle, effective, and yet ruthless in its ability to stimulate healing when it is indicated.
