Flu – Taking Care Of Yourself

Wishing you all a happy HOLIDAY SEASON!

At this time of year we start to hear about the flu. We are also hearing about a new variant of the coronavirus.

Homeopathy has always been helpful for someone who has the flu. It also has been helpful for people who have come down with any of the strains of the coronavirus. Historically, homeopathy has been helpful during pandemics. This was so during the 1918- 1919 Spanish Flu.

Usually, when there is an epidemic, and also during a flu season, specific homeopathic remedies are used for the particular strain of flu or for the epidemic at that time. This has been so with the coronavirus epidemic that we have been going through, whether it is with having come down with the virus; having lingering, long haul types of symptoms; or experiencing side effects from the vaccines.

Taking Care Of Yourself 

It is always good to take care of yourself. Taking care of yourself can mean a lot of different things:

• Using different healing modalities  – chiropractic, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, vitamins, western medicine.
• Exercising – going for walks or hikes, yoga, swimming.
• Being in nature. (I love the beach.)
• Pursuing activities you love.
• Eating good, organic, nourishing foods.
• Sleeping well and feeling rested.
• Laughing and smiling.
• Being with people you love.
• Checking in with yourself. Being aware of your thoughts and feelings.
• Having a spiritual practice. This can be a lot of different things, even some of what is listed above.

“HEY SLOW DOWN”

Sometimes, though, even with taking care of yourself, you may become ill. It is okay to be sick. I think we have come to the thinking that being sick is not good. When we are sick or not feeling well, it is our body, our vital force, telling us “Hey, slow down. I am making you slow down.” When we are sick, we do slow down, rest and take the the time to care for ourselves.

Our bodies have a wonderful ability to heal itself. Sometimes we need a little help. Homeopathy assists the body in its own healing. The symptoms that a person is experiencing is the way the person is trying to heal themselves. Sometimes the person gets stuck in these symptoms. The homeopath uses the symptoms as a guide to help select the homeopathic remedy that fits the person, that is similar to the person. This is Like Cures Like or The law of Similars, which is one of the main principles of homeopathy. The given homeopathic remedy stimulates the person’s own healing, getting them unstuck. Sometimes a series of homeopathic remedies are needed, using one at a time, as the person moves through the healing process.

More – The Coronavirus And Homeopathy

In my last post, I had told you that I have been viewing webinars given by homeopaths from all over the world,  talking about what homeopathic remedies would be healing for this pandemic.  Homeopathic remedies are starting to emerge.

The remedies that homeopaths are seeing that are helpful for this epidemic are coming from many cases of patients who have the virus. A common theme/thread between these cases starts to emerge, and leading to the homeopathic remedies. It is almost as if many people make up one case, one individul.  And interestingly, where you are living in the world, also can determine which homeopathic remedies are healing for this pandemic.

ACONITE

The homeopathic remedy Aconitum Napellus – Aconite – is being suggested by many homeopaths to use when you are experiencing first signs of not feeling well, whether it is a fever, a scratchy throat, achiness, a little cough, a runny nose etc. The person might also feel quite anxious, panicky, fearful,  and may be fearing that they may die.  (A lot of us are feeling panicky.)

By using Aconite, it may stave off the virus developing further, or make the symptoms less severe. Other homeopathic remedies may be useful after using Aconite. It is good then to see a homeopath.

My suggestion is to use Aconite 30C. You probably can purchase it at your local health food stores, or Whole Foods type of stores.  I know someone who ordered it from Amazon.

People usually take remedies dry, just taking the pellets, but in acute/first aid situations I have them dissolve the remedy. This makes it that you don’t need to use so many pellets. When initially made the homeopathic remedies are a liquid, so when you dissolve the remedy you are bringing it back to its original form.

Instructions:

• Dissolve two pellets in 4 ounces of filtered/spring type water.  I am saying to use just two pellets, so that you have the remedy for later use for yourself or for other people.  If you use more pellets you are not increasing the dosage.
• One teaspoonful is one dose. Before taking the dose, stir the water 1 – 3 times.  Stirring slightly increases the potency/strength of the remedy.
• You may want to take several doses in a day – such as 4 for a couple of days. If you start to feel better, stop taking the remedy. You may need to start taking it again in a few days, if some of the symptoms come back. That is part of the healing.
• The water is good for 24 hours, and then you need to throw it out, and start new. Washing every thing in hot water.
• This one glass of dissolved Aconite could be used for the whole household. Homeopathy is helpful for all ages, babies through older adults. Each person having their own teaspoon and washing it before using it again. By sharing the dissolved remedy, you are  making sure you have enough of the remedy.  And if it is a lot of people, you may want to use 6 – 8 ounces of water

HOMEOPATHY TO HEAL

It is good to also follow the prodigals that we are hearing about, and to see your physician if needed.
