Shocking Times need Aconitum

Homeopathy, , , , , ,

I don’t know about you, but the last two weeks have been shocking for me. The shock of hearing about an assassination – first framed as an attempt and then the news of its “success,” then the video footage, then dismay at how so many responded to it, along with continuous news of fights and fears at home and abroad (no matter how much one tries to avoid such news) have made life feel very precarious. It could be argued that the past few years have been filled with one shock after another, and that we’re all basically conditioned to live our daily lives in a fight-or-flight mentality. It’s no wonder so many people are sick.

For me, hope comes first from my faith in Christ. I lean on verses like Job 13:15 Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him, and Psalm 30:5 Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

I feel blessed that I can also lean on homeopathy’s ability to gently but effectively move my body towards balance and health. For a shocking event, a traumatic accident, terrible news, a sudden illness, an unexpected death, an unspeakable tragedy, or a terrible thing you can’t “unsee,” we can find help in Aconitum napellus 200c taken twice daily or even a little more if the situation is quite severe. Homeopathy doesn’t suppress, but it does help stimulate the body’s own natural healthy responses to put things back in order. Aconitum helps relieve the mind that is stuck in fight or flight, so it’s free to organize its thoughts. It allows us to be intentional again about how we want to move forward, instead of paralyzed by fear, surprise, and disbelief.

Poison Ivy Follow-up: My Own Case!

Homeopathy, , , ,

Well, as luck would have it, just a couple of months after posting about how to treat poison ivy homeopathically, I got a case of poison ivy myself! Of course I made a video to show how wonderful homeopathy is when it comes to addressing health issues in real time.

Let me just say, this was no ordinary case of “oops, I brushed against some poison ivy as I was hiking” – this was me on my mower, clearing underbrush from the edges of not one but two properties, basically creating poison ivy confetti and giving myself a dust bath in it. Before homeopathy, that would have meant a definite trip to urgent care for a steroid shot and/or regimen of pills, PLUS a very uncomfortable few weeks during which I had way too much energy and plenty of itching, weeping lesions on my legs, arms, and probably face as well, followed by the mood and energy dive that happens when your steroid pills wear off.

Instead, you can see in this video what I ended up with: a couple of meaningless spots on one ankle and a spot on one arm that were there and gone so quickly I didn’t even get photos, and finally one uncomfortable area around my left armpit that made me glad it was spaghetti strap season around here. And that was it. What a difference!
