Four Flu Remedies of Homeopathy
The flu can be a trying time for someone new to homeopathy. It is worth the extra effort to learn the top several remedies. Once committed to memory, they will serve you well. There are several that are considered the most important. Below are only four, but worthy of our study.
Eupatorium works when the weather is warm and mild. The common botanical name for this remedy is boneset which gives an indication of its area of action. The symptom that is most telling is the strong pain that is suffered in the bones. The sufferer can find no comfortable position, as there is much agony as though the bed is too hard. Eupatorium is sometimes confused with Bryonia. The differential is that Bryonia remains still and quiet while Eupatorium thrashes in pain.
Bryonia is a common remedy for the flu. Look for indications such as desire for long , cold drinks that are interesting only on occasion. The person is weak, lethargic, sleepy and heavy. There is much perspiration and the person does not get sick suddenly. Instead, he is not well for days in advance of an all out illness. This person wants to be left alone, particularly because his head and eyes hurt as well as his extremities. He favors being very still as any movement is painful to the eyes, or head.
Nux vomica is a favorite because it is often an easy remedy to spot. The person is irritable and has in general, or in the recent past, overindulged in either too little sleep and/or foods and drink that are artificial. He wants to be left alone because everything anyone does is an irritant to this sufferer. The need for this remedy is often after an exposure to a cold wind. There is intense cold with shivers running up the back. Every movement of the covers is resented for the cold it sends to the back. There may be gastro intestinal issues that accompany the chills, including nausea, constipation, diarrhea or both. Sounds, light and other external influences are despised and resented in a very verbal way.
A flu responding to the remedy, Pulsatilla, often comes soon after feet have gotten wet. This sets up shivers down the back. The person can crave cool air blowing on them that can bring them to resent a warm, stuffy room. The mouth is dry and thirst is often lacking. The person needing this remedy is usually a female and can be demanding of attention.
Know your homeopathic flu remedies and they will be your friends for life. They may indeed be the ticket to your own health or that of your loved ones.

Anxiety and Homeopathy
Oh, that awful sensation. Paralyzing, undermining and agonizing. No amount of self-talk will relieve it. And the drugs used to treat it are overkill. What’s a sufferer to do?
Consider homeopathy. Homeopathy has a reputation for addressing performance anxiety without side effects and doesn’t relieve episodically, but fully. Although it’s often best to work with a certified homeopathic consultant for this kind of suffering, it’s worth discussing the remedies most commonly used in a homeopathic practice.
Gelsemium is a remedy that is used for someone who feels weak and fearful of an upcoming event. It affects speakers, performers, courtroom lawyers and anyone who has a forthcoming occasion which causes anxiety. Taken every few hours up to and when the event is at hand, Gelsemium will eliminate the symptoms that are so overwhelming. It will also minimize the chance of the return of such an event. No more weakness and angst.
Then there is the anxiety that is associated with assorted events – fear of flying, leaving the house, anxiety when thinking of new endeavors, etc. When the list is too long to mention, the remedy is often Agaricus. It is a powerful, but gentle, remedy that can slowly and consistently rid the sufferer of his anxieties. It does this by stimulating the body’s ability to bring itself to its best economy.
Aconitum is the quintessential remedy for anxiety that results from a previous frightening experience. This might be required after an experience that occurred many years ago such as after having been mugged, witnessing 911, experiencing an earthquake or witnessing war atrocities. These are all potential shocks to the system that can be held on a cellular level for many years, if not for a life time. This remedy will relieve the shock and allow the sufferer freedom from the thoughts or even just the residual sensations. Often, a person doesn’t even think about the specific cause anymore. All that is left is anxiety. It is not uncommon for him to not even make an association between the event and the anxiety he now experiences.
There are other remedies that are also of great value in the polite, gentle world of homeopathy. They must be specifically chosen for the person, not the pathology. In other words, homeopathy treats the entire person. So not only will the anxiety be eliminated, but so will the wakefulness, restless legs and constipation.
Without dangerous side effects and expensive meds, homeopathy is medicine that brings the person to his best place and most importantly, it works.

Asthma Homeopathy Treatment Methods
An asthma homeopathy treatment can be used by a person suffering from asthma in order to reduce having to use more traditional Western medications. This type of treatment can not only help to reduce the symptoms of asthma but is found to be very effective for treating babies and children who have only recently been diagnosed with the condition. It can also be effective for those adults who have recently found that their asthma has returned.
However what you must remember is that traditional Western medical treatments can actually save a person’s life that suffer from asthma and should not be stopped. But a person may be able to supplement asthma medical treatments with alternative forms of asthma homeopathy treatment for better effectiveness.
Often a lot of people who suffer from asthma will turn to using homeopathic treatments for their condition as not only are they natural, they are not addictive and they do not cause any side effects. This makes them more suitable for using with babies and young children as well as the elderly. All forms of homeopathic asthma treatments are made from plant, mineral and organic products which are specially prepared in order to provide a person with the most effective form of treatment for dealing with the symptoms associated with asthma.
However when it comes to using any kind of asthma homeopathy treatment a person may find that where someone gets results almost immediately when they start using it for others it may take a little longer. But whoever uses it should not expect miracles and although they will notice a general improvement in their health and well being as well as some of the symptoms becoming reduced they will not find that it instantly stops everything happening at once.
Generally when it comes to getting asthma homeopathy treatment the sufferer will visit a homeopathic practitioner who will then devise a plan that is devised for their own individual needs. Where as often with more conventional forms of asthma treatment and medication these will be based around a basic plan and then slowly the doctor or health practitioner will make changes as and when they see fit to suit a certain individual’s requirements.
