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.

Helping Women – And A Link To A Facebook Live Stream Talking About Homeopathy And Women’s Health Issues

Live Stream

I feel excited to be going live on Hélène Stelian’s Women on a Mission! I’ll be sharing Healing With Homeopathy. Please join Hélène’s Facebook group today at this link (and make sure to answer the first membership question for admission): https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomenmidlife

By doing this, you’ll be able to join me live on November 5th at 10am PST in the group and have access to the replay.

I will be talking about homeopathy, and how it can help women in their health.

My Practice

In my practice, I see women of all ages and for various health concerns. There usually is some specific reason that brings the woman in to see me – a physical complaint, an emotional issue, an ongoing health concern. In addition to this specific reason, there is her, the woman, and how she responds and feels on all levels (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) to what has happened in her life.

Homeopathy addresses the whole of her. Through listening, observing, witnessing and understanding what is at the core of what is bothering her, a homeopathic remedy is given that is similar to what she is experiencing, to the totality of her. The homeopathic remedy stimulates her own healing process, strengthening her vital force or immune system, healing the specific reason why she came in, and also healing the totality of her. Often, a series of homeopathic remedies are needed, using one at a time.

Some Of The Health Concerns Women Experience

I am asked so often, “I have this, can homeopathy help me?” I say yes, and I need to know more about you. (You have read this in previous posts.) I am listing here, by categories, what I have been asked. Often it is a symptom(s). Symptoms are not separate. It is the totality of the woman who is addressed, and the totality heals along with the symptom(s).

• menstrual issues – cramps, PMS, bloating, headaches, late periods, heavy flow, clots, peri-menopause, menopause, hot flashes, insomnia, other symptoms related that may come up or are exasperated during the menstrual cycle
• digestive issues – bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food allergies and sensitivities, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease
• urinary tract issues
• sleep issues – insomnia, frequent waking, difficulty falling asleep, nightmares
• pain – muscular, arthritic, nerve, acute or chronic, from an old injury
• headaches – migraines, allergies, seasonal
• anxiety, depression, ongoing grief, fears, phobias, focusing issues, memory issues
• skin eruptions – eczema, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, warts
• respiratory – asthma, shortness of breath, coughs
• allergies – food sensitivities, runny nose, coughs
• emotional states – sadness, anger, outbursts, fears, anxieties
• autoimmune illnesses – chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia
• lingering affects from an illness or flu
• acute illnesses – stomachaches, ear infections, runny noses
• “this is bothering me”

An Observation

It may be that we women always have a cycle. Whether we are actually menstruating, or not menstruating. Whether we are pregnant, or have gone through menopause. This “cycle” time may be when a symptom, a feeling, a thought, a state of being, a health concern, or what bothers us, is more prevalent or more intense than usual.
