| 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'.

To Bee or Not to Bee
Dogs who, due to the proximity of beehives, risk being stung every
summer, should be given a dose of Apis mellifica 200x at the beginning
of the season to immunize them against bee stings. Such stings will
then never be life-threatening, even if a whole swarm of bees were
to attack the animal.

The Eyes Have It
After operations on the eye, Hypericum for pain. Allium cepa is
also useful for pain after operations, especially after removal
of cataracts.

Fascinating Research
Homeopathically prepared solutions of thyroxin at 10-30 , when
placed in a culture of tree frog larvae, inhibited the metamorphosis
from larvae to tadpole.. Okay, we know homeopathic remedies affect
physiology. But here it gets more interesting. In the next study,
the homeopathic thyroxin was placed in a glass vial, which was then
placed in the culture water. Even though the thyroxin was separated
from the culture by glass, the thyroxin still inhibited metamorphosis!
The effect of the remedy was transmissible through glass.

Why So Sour?
People who need Magnesia muriatica have a dissatisfaction which
shows vividly in the sour facial expression. Sensitive to confrontation
and always trying to make peace. They want others to be happy and
satisfied. Strong sense of duty and take on too many tasks. Restless,
unable to relax and suffer tremendously with sleep difficulties.
Aggravaton from lying down applies to all symptoms, physical and
mental. Chilly, but likes open air. Craves sweets and veggies.

Fear of Sudden Impulse
Argentum Nitricum dreads that he might suddenly, without premeditation,
succumb to a self-destructive impulse. For this reason he fears
approaching the edge of a cliff or leaning out of a high window-
not only from fear of heights, but also that he might give in to
some mad suicidal urge and throw himself from the height.

The Humble Hawthorn Berry- Crataegus
Crataegus is the nearest approach to a positive heart tonic I
know of. Hypertrophy with failing power, dilatation, alcoholic heart,
all have been relieved by Crataegus. Heart failure and valvular
disease, angina pectoris, cardiac dropsy. Pulse strong and forcible.
Irritable, cross, melancholy. Aggravation from exertion, rush of
blood to head with confused feeling. Dyspepsia and nervous prostration
with heart failure. Tincture in 5 drop doses 4- 5 times daily. Also,
3x every 3-4 hours for several weeks.

externally. The 3x dissolved in water will frequently give instant
relief of the pain of severe burns.

Warning on Aconite
In hypertrophy of the heart, Aconite is indicated by numbness
and tingling in the fingers. It is in uncomplicated hypertrophy
of the heart only that you should give this remedy. In hypertrophy
from valvular disease it may do great harm.

Incompatible with Incompatibles
"I do not believe in incompatibles as some do. I should give
Causticum after Phosphorus, Silicea after Mercurius and Rhus tox
after Apis , if I found it indicated." E.B.Nash - Leaders in
Homoeopathic Therapeutics.

Wild Strawberries
I have recently learned that Frageria (Wild Strawberry) can be
used to soften and aid the removal of tartar on encrusted teeth
and prevent the formation of new deposits. It is used in a 3c potency.
It can also be used to treat the allergic reactions some people
suffer from after eating strawberries. The remedy can be given to
animals as well as humans.

Ouch, My Ankle!
Here is a tip I found whilst doing some research for a case. For
sprained ankles, when Rhus tox., Arnica and Ruta have failed, Strontium
carb may serve well.
