| We invite
you to send in your favorite Tips and Secrets on homeopathy.
We will publish a select group each month, acknowledging the sender.
They may be based on your own experience or taken from homeopathic
literature. Please identify the source of your information and your
name and country. Send your tips to us at Alanheal@aol.com
Remember, a tip is not the whole
iceberg! Use these tips as part of a totality of symptoms. Let them
inspire further research. Using specifics ("take this for that")
in isolation may prove disappointing and can lead to suppression.
These
are the tips of our readers and do not necessarily express the views
of Hpathy.com or 'Homeopathy 4 Everyone'.

A Burning Question
Allergic Contact Dermatitis (Eczema) with symptoms like blistering,
itching and burning, especially due to contact of chemicals like
hair dyes on skin, can be effectively reduced with Phosphorus more
effectively than Rhus.Tox or Sulfur. It is my personal experience
and also mentioned in : Homeopathic Medical Repertory by Robn Murphy
- Toxicity due to Chemicals.

A Hip Tip
Trillium pendulum : Almost specific for pelvic orthopedic complaints
in the second half of pregnancy; posture problems, pain and discomfort

inwards with hands on both hips. Pelvic relaxation by pregnancy
hormones.
Cfr.Boericke. " As if pelvis will
fall to pieces, unless tightly bound up".

Tips From the Late Louis Dion
If the mental symptoms of a case are Natrum mur, and the physical
symptoms are Lycopodium, consider Natrum carbonicum.
I have found the osteoarthritis nosode effective in some cases
of arthritis.
For kidney stones, remember Calc renalis. You may also try a 6x
potency of the patient’s urine.
From loss of energy after burns, consider Picric acid.
In head injuries, always give Arnica before Natrum Sulph, otherwise
the patient may get a terrible headache.
With fever of unknown origin in children, start with Ferrum phos.
For intestinal gas after surgery, Carbo animalis.
In patients who desire warm food and drink, consider liver problems.
Lac Humanum – There’s a love/hate relationship between
mother and child. It can result from a seductive mother.
From a lecture given by Louis Dion in
Philadelphia in 1990.
Now You Know
Avogadro’s Number is the number of atoms in a gram mole of
any substance. It’s a constant equal to 6.023 x 10 23 Critics
point out that homeopathic medicines are diluted far beyond Avogadro's
Number. Research by Shui Yin Lo, director of research and development
at American Technologies Group, found that water molecules, which
are random in their normal state, begin to form a cluster when a
substance is added to water and the water is vigorously shaken --
the exact process homeopaths use to create their medicine.
Every substance exerts its own unique influence on the water, so
each cluster shape and configuration is unique to the substance
added. With each dilution and shaking, the clusters grow bigger
and stronger.

Chamomilla Excitement
Slight impressions produce distress, anguish; pains often result
in fainting. In every disease in which Chamomilla is indicated,
we notice this peculiar excitability. Unless the mental state is
present, Chamomilla will most likely fail you.

Lesser Known Aspects of Well Known Remedies
Arnica - Some of us prescribe it always, with relief to the patient,
after a vaccination. Unlike Thuja, which aborts the process entirely,
Arnica simply relieves the discomfort, leaving the pustules to take
their usual course.
Calc. Sulph - The presence of pus with a vent is the general indication
for Calc.Sulph.
Staphysagria -Burning in urethra when not urinating. While urinating
the burning ceased. We have plenty of remedies for burning before,
during and after urination, but Staphysagria is the only one having
this burning all the time between the acts of urinating.
Cocculus indicus- A man will stretch out his leg on a chair and
he can't flex it till he reaches down with his hands to assist.
Allium Cepa -Sore and raw spots on feet, especially heel, from
friction. Efficacious when feet are rubbed sore - Dioscorides.
Camphor -Great coldness of surface, with a desire to uncover...Great
heat or sweat, with aversion to uncover.
