After our piece on homeopathy and its effects upon the immune system appeared in last month’s newsletter, I’ve been asked about other uses for homeopathic remedies. With two very active little girls (dare I say “Tomboys?”) most of the homeopathy we use in my home focuses on first aid for injuries.
So, we've created a list of our most commonly needed and applied remedies and essential information to enable you to make treatment decisions in a first-aid situation, at home or on the playing field. We've also made a summary list of these remedies and their applications. Both are available in PDF formats for you to download and keep on hand. You'll find links to these downloads at the end of this article.
If you need to refresh your memory about how homeopathic remedies work and why they are such a terrific healing tool you can read last month’s article by clicking here. But be sure to return to this piece to learn about the recommended contents of your first aid kit.
Prescribing homeopathy is as much an art as it is a science. While we know the power and useful applications of the different remedies, unlike conventional western medicine, those who prescribe homeopathic remedies are less likely to see them as a “one product fits all” solution. That is to say, homeopathy recognizes the individual’s personal and physiological temperament as an active ingredient in the overall chosen solution. You may, with practice, discover that a given remedy for bruises is quite effective for your family, however, a different remedy works even better for an individual family member.
It’s important to read over the indications for each remedy a number of times to really get to know its “picture,” which is worth a thousand words, right?
Safe dosages range from 6c to 30c, four times a day. As an immediate response to an injury, it is safe to give the patient a dose every 15 minutes up to four times, followed by the regular dose spacing.
Another great thing about these remedies is that they are tremendously safe and have almost no risk of adverse reactions. The information and instructions contained in this article are enough for one to safely administer these remedies effectively, with confidence in the correct choice of remedy and its dosage. That said, it is always advisable to have a medical professional examine someone after a severe or even moderate trauma–when in doubt, play it safe and get a medical evaluation, especially when it comes to head injuries.
A complete kit of all the mentioned remedies is available through our office for only $130.00 You can download for free the guide lising complete descriptions of all the remedies in the Home Frist Aid Kit, including the Quick Reference Guide using this link.
