Homeopathy
theMillwatermag
Most people are familiar with Arnica, which is a homeopathic remedy, but there are thousands of remedies for different ailments. Homeopathy is a holistic medical science, taking into consideration symptoms of the physical, mental and emotional body. Homeopathy deals with the whole person and not only with a single condition. Consultations take into account various aspects of your life, family history and past medical conditions as well as your actual complaint. Remedies are matched to each person’s individual symptoms. This therapy works by treating ‘like with like’. The principle is illustrated with a bee sting, which may cause severe swelling and redness. Apis, which is made from bee venom, is a remedy that is given in the case of a bee sting. It stimulates the body’s own healing mechanism, to bring the body back into balance, optimal health and wholeness. Even if not caused by bee stings, Apis could be a remedy for swelling and redness. Many people confuse homeopathic medicine with herbal remedies or with the broad field of alternative or natural medicine. Homeopathic medicine has its own sophisticated system of using substances from the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms. Homeopathy is gentle, effective and safe – therefore it is ideal at any age and during pregnancy. It is safe to use in conjunction with other therapies and medication; to treat both acute and chronic conditions. For the winter months, some useful remedies for colds are: ACONITE: Useful after exposure to dry, cold wind; Sudden onset sore throat, burning, red; High fever; Restless, anxious and frightened.
