Gelsemium sempervirens...

Hi everyone

Gelsemium sempervirens.

Autumn has arrived and with the change of season many local people are coming down with a fluey cold, not good. The cold doesn’t seem to be clearing very well either and a couple of people have told me that they have been left feeling tired and heavy.

This is where the homeopathic remedy Gelsemium comes in. Gelsemium is the number one remedy for weakness after an acute infection, such as a cold. Look for the following symptoms;

·         Tired, heavy feeling.

·         Limbs ache, tremble and feel weak.

·         Thirstless.

·         Feels better in the afternoon.

In this situation try one dose of the remedy and wait and see if you feel better.  If you feel an improvement only repeat the Gelsemium as the benefits wear off, after a few doses you will find you no longer need the remedy and you will begin to feel like your usual self. If the remedy doesn’t help, contact your homeopath for advice. Hoping that you feel better soon.

Wishing you all a good week.

Bye for now

British Homeopathic Association...

Hi everyone

This week I have been browsing the website of the British Homeopathic Association and it is packed with information about homeopathy. If you haven’t had a look I recommend that you do www.britishhomeopathic.org.

There is lots of useful information on the site and there are 200 articles about various conditions that have been helped by homeopathy and you can also search for particular conditions. The following link is to an article about fibromyalgia http://www.britishhomeopathic.org/bha-charity/how-we-can-help/conditions-a-z/switching-off-the-pain/ . It is a fascinating story of one person’s experience of fibromyalgia and the help she received from homeopathy when nothing else had really helped.

If you are wondering if homeopathy could help you then why not do some research and find the stories of others who have been helped. Then give homeopathy a try for yourself, www.findahomeopath.org.uk will help you find a homeopath near you.

A Chinese saying ‘to take medicine only when you are sick is like digging a well when you are thirsty...

Hi everyone

While reading a book about holistic health for dogs, I came across this Chinese saying ‘to take medicine only when you are sick is like digging a well when you are thirsty. It is already too late......The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine 2500BC. This is exactly right isn’t it; the best way to keep healthy is to work on prevention, because as we know prevention is better than cure!

With this thought in mind it is time to think about your yearly homeopathic ‘MOT’. As the season changes from summer in to autumn we need to be thinking about preparing for winter, I know we don’t even want to think about it but far better to sort out these little niggles now before they become bigger problems. I am offering my homeopathic health check for £20 this year, good value, if I do say so myself, as you will come away with a winter survival plan, appropriate remedies and advice on how best to look after your health during the winter months. What’s not to like? Contact me for more details on 07967 276336.
