Take Your Remedies To College -- Elaine Lewis |
 |
|||
|
Someone just wrote to me saying she was going off to college next month and wanted to know what remedies to take with her. I couldn't help thinking that every person going off to college -- or summer camp, or the military, etc. -- might be looking for the same advice. Here we are, then -- remedies to take to college: Aconite -- fright, panic attacks -- may be useful before giving a report to the class; we call it "homeopathic valium"; also, the beginning of a cold that comes on suddenly and where exposure to cold windy weather may have been the cause. High fever that comes on suddenly. Also, eye injuries or "something in my eye". Thirsty. Worse around midnight. Any condition where fear or anxiety is also present. Anacardium -- when the mind goes blank before an exam. Poison ivy. Apis -- bee and wasp stings, also allergic reactions like anaphylaxis and hives. Apis is also good for burns. Argent-nitricum -- ailments from over-indulgence in sweets. Anticipatory anxiety with restlessness and talkativeness and possibly diarrhea. Anxiety before a test or giving a report; also, fear of flying. Arnica -- blunt trauma, concussion, injuries, bruising,
dental extractions, post-op recovery, sprains, muscle aches after
exertion, sore bruised feeling, car accidents. You should carry
this remedy with you. You never know when you might slip and fall,
for example, and when you think of the number of people lately who
have died from complications after falls, such as Dr. Robert Atkins,
these people may well have been spared by taking Arnica as soon
as possible after the accident. A 200C potency may only need to
be given once, but lower potencies may have to be repeated as needed. Arsenicum -- food poisoning, bad water. Diarrhea. The flu. Ars. mentals are: fear to be alone, MUST have company -- great anxiety when alone. Restlessness, weak. Burning pains. Thirsty for sips at a time. May desire cold or hot drinks. Worse around midnight. Chilly, wants to be warm. Belladonna -- complaints with a sudden onset, high fever, the skin is hot, or there's a lot of heat involved and possibly a throbbing sensation. Patient doesn't want to be touched, bumped or jarred. Right-sided complaints. Intense heat in the affected part. Usually thirstless. Right-sided migraine. Worse light and noise. Fever with delirium. Bryonia -- any condition where the symptoms are better when
the person lies perfectly still because to move even slightly, even
the eyes, or even to answer questions, makes him worse and consequently,
he is irritable, as you are making him worse with your incessant
questioning, he just wants to be left alone; even taking a deep
breath makes him worse. This could be a remedy for broken bones,
the flu, food poisoning, appendicitis, sciatica, any situation where
the person cannot bear to move. There is also a dryness in this
patient and he drinks much water--not often, though, because he
does not like to move to take a drink. Calendula -- cuts and scrapes. Antiseptic. Bleeding from wounds. Carbo veg -- food poisoning with belching and bloating. Cocculus -- ailments after loss of sleep. Take the day after you've stayed up all night to write a paper or study for an exam. |
