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 4 Everyone’.
Aurum for Survivors
Another situation in which Aurum has great value is when one of the two partners in a longtime marriage dies: the surviving partner feels that life is not worth living anymore. “I have lost the sunshine of my life,” they say. Not uncommonly, they die shortly after the death of their partner. Many people in nursing homes could use this remedy, as they are often in a state of “abandonment”: no more spouse or husband, few friends left in their life, and often few visits from family members. These people could truly say that the sunshine has gone from their lives.

The Mind of Anacardium
The Anacardium patient imagines he hears voices talking to him. He has a sensation as though he had two wills, one commanding him to do what the other forbids. Anacardium has the propensity to swear. I treated a minister with a penchant for profanity ; try as he would he could not help it. Anacardium made a complete cure.

Calcarea Silicata

Confusion on waking, after eating, after exertion. Worse consolation. Delusions about dead people, hears their voices and answers them.

Eupatorium Keynotes
These three symptoms are a sure guide to Eupatorium perfoliatum: Chill 7- 9 A.M.; intense aching in the bones before the chill; vomiting bile between chill and heat.
Eupatorium is especially adapted to worn out constitutions of old people or inebriates.

Tuberculinum
Tuberculinum’s insomnia is often ameliorated by food, the symptom “Cannot get to sleep from hunger” being well known ( also Phos, Ignatia and Lyc, any of whom may be driven to midnight snacks). This miasmatic type has a capricious appetite, or can eat much but remain thin.

Thuja has Oral Problems
Thuja affects the teeth profoundly; the roots become carius, while the crown remains relatively sound. The gums are swollen and inflamed. Pyorrhoea alveolaris is often helped by this remedy. Thuja has also helped epulis ( gum boil).

Cyst in right kidney
Woman 40 years of age with cyst in right kidney. When she was treated with Terebinthina 6C the cyst disappeared, but later it her uterus was affected and there was heavy bleeding. The second remedy prescribed was Apocynum 6C. The cyst in uterus also disappeared. The patient is very happy and has had no more complications. “Apocynum is a remedy possessing alternating conditions, one of which usually involves the kidney ….hemorrhages from the uterus.” says George Vithoulkas in his Materia Medica Viva.

How Common Symptoms Become Important
Vomiting and diarrhea by themselves are common complaints, but when found together at the onset, suggest Arsenicum album. Headache, fever and vomiting, considered separately, have little value in prescribing; but when considered together very often lead to Veratrum viride.

Effects of Scorn
In one year at least ten school boys in Japan took their lives due to being teased, tormented or ostracized by other children. It is fascinating that one of the primary medicines for suicidal depression, Natrum sulph, is also given to people who are extremely sensitive to scorn. Some of these boys lives might have been spared had they been treated homeopathically.

Tuberculinum in Arthritis
Tuberculinum is one of the common remedies for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms may seem similar to Rhus tox: Pain and stiffness from damp weather, change of weather, sitting for too long, rest, standing too long and first motion after rest.
One differentiating point is that Tuberculinum is worse from all types of weather change.

Anemia
I wish to share my experience in the cure of an Anemic female, aged 40 yrs.
I started with Ferrum Phos 12X. The hemoglobin increased from 7 to 9 in two weeks, but fell to 7 after a month. I then tried Calcarea phos 30. The hemogobin remained 9 for 3 months, bit after that it started declining. Then I tried Calcium supplements 600 mg daily with Calcarea phos 30c, one dose a day. In a 2 months , hemoglobin increased from 7 to 10. I continued the same and in another 3 months it increased to 13. I continued giving Calcium supplement on alternate days with Calcarea phos 30c once a month . For the past 10 yrs the hemoglobin remained 13.

Trigger Finger
Restricted motion or awkward motion from shrinking membrane around tendon.
When caused by injury, many people have been helped by Arnica 30 followed by Ruta 6. When hot and swollen with stinging pain, Apis 30 has helped. When finger is swollen, worse after rest or in damp weather, and better by warmth and continued movement, then Rhus tox has been helpful.

Brahmi for the Mind
I have used Brahmi – Q (Bacopa monnieri), an Indian herb, to improve memory and learning ability. I studied for the graduate level examination in chemical engineering and this medicine was very useful to me throughout my studies. A government research institute in India carried out extensive research and obtained very positive results. In all disorders of the brain and nervous system, Brahmi plays a positive healing role.
