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 [email protected]
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 for 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.

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.
