Homeopathy and the Broken Toe

Two days ago, it was a busy morning as usual.  I was packing my husband's lunch and set a pyrex dish with some leftover lasagna in it onto the kitchen counter.  What I didn't realize was that it was not set firmly on the counter and over it went, with the pyrex handle smashing directly onto my middle toe.

Wow - I don't think I have ever experienced pain like that!  I stuck my foot into a bowl of ice water immediately but knew that I needed to do something else right away as my toe was immediately turning purple and starting to swell.

Thankfully, I have a homeopath that I see who is available as needed via email and phone.  I had also bought the home remedy kit that she recommended (pictured below and found HERE).

I took the arnica and hypericum that she recommended and within a few hours the pain was gone (except for walking) and the bruising and swelling were improved.  To look at my foot, you would not know right off that I have a broken toe (well, suspected since I never went in for an xray).  Though I cannot walk on it yet, it is doing much, much better than I ever imagined it would.

I highly recommend this kit.  You will save a lot of money buying all these remedies in kit form.  It comes with a very simple booklet with a list of symptoms and matching remedies.  I also recommend Homeopathy, An A-Z Home Handbook and The Family Guide to Homeopathy.

Your "Must Have" Homeopathic Kit

I have been looking for a good homeopathic kit to have on hand for emergencies and every day life.

Homeopathics are excellent remedies to have on hand because not only are they quick and easy to use, they are inexpensive and last for years.  Many countries require some sort of expiration date, so you may see a date on your bottle, but that is often just a legal requirement.

I have just bought a kit recommended by my homeopath that you can find HERE.  It is a much better price at this website vs. amazon.

While homeopathics are easy to use and can be used without consulting a homeopath, I recommend finding a good homeopath in your area who can help you to know which homeopathic remedies are best for you to take for your unique situations.

My homeopath is wonderful and often available via email or phone when I have a question about how to use a remedy or will help me chose which remedy I need for a specific situation for no charge.

If you are unable to find a homeopath in your area there are two good books that I recommend:
     *The Family Guide to Homeopathy by Dr. Andrew Lockie which can be found HERE.
     *Homeopathy: An A to Z Home Handbook by Alan V. Schmukler which can be found HERE.

Homeopathic Cell Salts - Help Balance Your Body

The following is a wonderful post about the homeopathic cell salts from 1-800-Homeopathy.  I regularly use these for treating our family.  They are an inexpensive way to help your body remain balanced and to support the healing process.  Take some time to look through their website - they have a lot of wonderful remedies.

Tissue Salts: balancing support from the inside out

Tissue Salts, also commonly referred to as "Cell Salts" are a group of homeopathic remedies made from the basic mineral compounds that cells in the body depend on, such as calcium and potassium compounds.  Other names used to describe this sub-set of homeopathic remedies include "Schuessler Tissue Salts", and "Biochemic Tissue Salts".

The Importance of Tissue Salts

Tissue Salts stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms to satisfy mineral deficiencies and imbalances. In his biochemic theory, Dr. Schuessler, the discoverer of Tissue Salts, states that deficiencies in these minerals are the source of most common health problems and that the Tissue Salts derived from these minerals give the body what it needs to prevent and treat illness. With today’s reliance on highly processed foods, keeping a healthy balance of minerals in the body is a major challenge. Tissue Salts can be part of a healthy daily regimen.

Facts about Homeopathic Tissue Salts

• A simple system based on Dr. Schuessler’s Biochemic Theory that helps the body assimilate and balance 12 vital  mineral nutrients.

• Homeopathic Tissue Salts are made from the minerals that cells require every day.

• Homeopathic Tissue Salts are specially formulated in homeopathic microdoses, making them safe for the whole family including children over one year of age.

• Safe to use with other medications.

• Available as easy-to-use, quickdissolving tablets.

Ideal for Self-Care and Safe for the Whole Family

Homeopathic Tissue salts give families the flexibility and assurance of safety to treat minor health issues quickly and effectively. As they will not react with other medications, Homeopathic Tissue Salts complement any health plan. More and more healthcare practitioners are embracing Tissue Salts for natural, self-care options for their patients. Parents can rely on homeopathic tissue salts to help solve their children’s minor health issues before they may become more serious. They are perfect for children because they taste good, are easy to use, work very well with children’s very responsive health systems, and are perfectly safe by themselves or in combination with other therapies. Effective in stimulating fast healing responses, homeopathic tissue salts relieve and speed recovery to resolve common problems such as colds, flu, earaches, and other ailments. Kids love their faintly sweet taste and how quickly the tablets dissolve on the tongue as well. Try them with your children and you will agree!

What is Homeopathy?

Since I have posted a few times about homeopathic remedies, I thought I would take some time to do a post and explain just what homeopathy is all about.

Homeopathy is a form of medicine that was developed in the 19th century.  It's based on the premise that "like treats like" and is taken in pellet or liquid form.  These pellets or liquids have been highly diluted, and are meant to help trigger the body into it's natural healing process.

Homeopathy is a very safe form of medicine and there are remedies that can even be given to infants and children.  Most remedies are very inexpensive and can be kept for long periods of time in a cool, dry place. I keep my remedies stored in a kitchen cabinet.
