Allergies, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, distemper, emotional, leukemia, 
lyme, skin problems, weight problems.

Excellent section on determining how often to repeat remedies. 

One customer emails, "Dear Kathryn, For the past several years, 
I have kept my three dogs and one cat in optimum health with 
three important resources: 
an excellent veterinarian, 
your homeopathy website, 
and a copy of Dr. Pitcairn's Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats. 
The book gives useful guidelines to the constellation of symptoms in each ailment 
and the recommended homeopathic, herbal, and naturopathic treatments. 
And your website provides excellent service in recommending the best supplies 
to have on hand and for fast and efficient order fulfillment.

For example, our 7-year-old Australian Shepherd-Lab sometimes eats things she 
finds in the yard that aren't on the health-foods menu! 
A simple application of a homeopathic remedy selected from my 
collection of tissue salts from ELIXIRS.COM
has allowed her to feel better within an hour or two. 
It's truly gratifying to be able to see an improvement right away."

Homeopathy To Help With Pollutants
One reason people are turning to Homeopathy is the build up of toxins in our air, water, soils, indoor environments and in our own bodies. We do not want medicines that seek to suppress and allow further build up of toxins.
The increasing levels of pollution have caused more people to become sensitive. Consider this statistic-20 years ago, 20% of the World's children were suffering from allergies. Currently, 50% now suffer from allergic responses to their environment. Consider that your skin is your largest organ, absorbing toxic chemicals from anti-perspirants, hair and clothes dyes, makeup, clothes and bedsheets all day and night. Chemicals that include titanium, aluminum in our toiletries; formaldehyde and pesticides in our mattresses; drycleaning chemicals, fire retardants and a multitude of dyes, chemicals, and soap residues on our clothes. Add chemicals, dyes, and preservatives in our food.

Here's some ideas (while we work to eliminate pollution and our exposure) to keep our body systems strong in order to roll with the punches of pollutants: 1) Use homeopath for seasonal complaints. Remember if the complaint is viral, antibiotics will have no effect.
2) Use homeopathy constitutionally to keep your immune system strong.
3)Build up your body's resourses with homeopathic Cell Salts
4)Use homeopathy prior and after exposure to allergens and pollutants to rebalance.
Allergy Category for a variety of products for rebalancing and eliminating toxins. An innovative new product called- Body Pure- treats symptoms of environmental sensitivity, such as, fatigue; mental unclarity or confusion; skin, eyes and throat irritation; headaches, etc.

Homeopathic Remedy -Aconite
One benefit of practicing your Homeopathic Thinking is in treating acute illnesses for yourself or your loved ones. Acute illnesses are illness that are not chronic. The illness may be severe, may be seasonal, or a temporary imbalance.
With Homeopathic Thinking we become in-tune with our body and the signals and symptoms the body send out as signs of imbalance.
Notice the first signals & symptoms and treat with homeopathics for quick and natural rebalancing. Homeopathic Cell Salts, constitutional remedy, combination products are important homeopathic products to bring the body back into harmony.
Keynote symptoms are distinctive characteristics used to distinquish between using one remedy instead of a different remedy. Each remedy has its own unique "picture". Matching this picture to the acute keynote symptoms can give us the correct remedy. An interesting way to determine, then study the "picture" of a remedy, is to learn the source of the remedy.
The book "Homeopathy for Common Ailments" is beautifully illustrated with plants that are the source of many remedies.
Aconitum Napellus, or Aconite, is Monkshood. This plant has been used in the past as a poison for dipping arrows. Aconite's poison acts very quickly on the systems of the body.

Treating with the homeopathic principle "similar with similar", Aconite is used in treating sudden symptoms. [Homeopathy is unique in turning poisonous and toxic substances into safe medicines. Vibrational medicine without side effects.]
An Aconite cold or headache won't creep up on you. Aconite's keynote is the child who's playing one minute and then very sick the next moment.
Aconite is a remedy to have on hand so you can give at the onset of sudden symptoms.
Other keynote symptoms:
suddenly red face, pales when rising;
sudden sneezing;
croupy coughing; restlessness and person appears anxious & frightened. Whether treating with Aconite for acute or chronic illness, look to a sudden cause. (Remember our Homeopathic Thinking technique of thinking back to the original stressor before the onset on a chronic condition.) Examples woule be a terrible fright or accident followed by the illness. Sudden emotional fright or fear. Subjected to a sudden drop of temperature or wind.

One person recovered from a chronic condition with Aconite. The original stress was caused by a childhood brush with death in a car accident. Have on hand as an emergency pregnancy remedy if the mother fears she are going to die.
With Aconite being one of the most used acute remedies, it is no wonder that Aconite is included in the all our Homeopathic Kits
In good Health, Kathryn Jones Health Counselor Homeopathy for Health

Homeopathic Remedy -Hypericum

The last newsletter on cell salts and the focus on Magnesium Ph,
has brought more questions on nerve pain. This newsletter will
focus on a great companion remedy to Mg Ph-Hypericum. Hypericum
Perforatum is derived from the herb St. John's Wort. This herb
has been getting lots of attention lately, even on news shows for
its tremendous help as a nerve tonic. Hypericum aids with
anxiety, sadness and depression on the emotional level. Hypericum
acts on our nerve centers and the central nervous system. On the
physical level, hypericum is indicated for a variety of nerve
injuries, spinal nerve trauma and pain, sciatica, neuralgia,
neuritis, etc. Shingles would cetainly fall into this category.
If anyone has had experience using Hypericum for Shingles, please
Email me. Remember to keep Hypericum on hand to use as 1st Aid
treatment for crushed fingers, puncture wounds(to prevent
lockjaw!), dental work, etc. Remember Hypericum's keywords
-nervous system- and you won't underestimate its importance.

Best Wishes, Kathryn

Labeling on Remedies
This update is to clear up questions on product labeling.
To prevent misunderstanding if the product label-does not match the your illness or symptom.

FDA made a ruling a few years back that any over the counter Homeopathic product must have a indication on the bottle.
That is, the label includes specific symptoms.
This labeling is nice to have when purchasing homeopathic remedies without any guidance.
With some of the keynote symptoms on the bottle- help is right on the bottle. You can easily match your problems and symptoms up with the proper remedy.
But sometimes, this labeling is troublesome.
The label certainly can't list pages of indications, symptoms, and keynotes.
There just isn't space for more than one or two short phrases.
This can be disconcerting if you were told to take a remedy for a headache, but the remedy label indicates it is for diarrhea!

For example, I may give you Graphites for facial scars
for a headache;
for depression
as a constitutional
but the remedy's label will ALWAYS say for cracked skin.
Is Graphites then only for one indication? Does that mean in homeopathy that each remedy is for only one thing?
No! Each remedy has numerous possibilities to match to symptoms and a particular person.
Please reference your materia medicas and other homeopathic books and ask your health professional if you have any questions about a particular remedy and its labeling.
Higher potencies, and homeopathics sold in Europe, list usually only the remedy's name.
Thank you, Kathryn Jones DiHom Health Counselor

Insect Bites and Stings
Summer is here and with Summer comes the battle with insects, bugs, spiders, ....
Homeopathy serves as one of our best first aid treatments. I always have a few emergency homeopathic remedies in the car. On several occasions, the Homeopathic remedies have saved the day.

One experience occured a few hours drive from our home at beautiful Summer Falls. One of our friends became very worried after she was bitten by a mosquito, because she always swells up quickly with problems breathing and welts that last for days.
I had Apis Mel in tablet and ointment form and gave both to her. She is still amazed to this day how she suffered no ill effects. She keeps Apis Mel on hand in her own 1st Aid Kit now.

Apis Mel is made from Honey Bees, so is a clear simillimum for stinging pains, bee stings, swelling.
1.5 million people experience severe allergic reactions to the venon from bees, wasps, hornets in the USA.

APIS MEL's KEYNOTE SYMPTOMS are:
burning, stinging pains, swelling, hard welts, worse from heat application.
LEDUM is another important stinging insect remedy. Ledum is our top puncture wound remedy. Mosquito bites and insect stings are puncture wounds.
Stings and bites inject poisons into the body. Ledum can help prevent sepsis in puncture wounds from accidents. Ledum can be used also to prevent the reaction of swelling and itching from germs and poisons injected with insect saliva.

Homeopathic remedies are used at times as a prophylactic, or a preventative treatment. Ledum can be indicated for use prior to exposure for people who have severe reactions to mosquito bites.

As a additional example of Homeopathy as a preventative for Summer problems is the use of Chlorinum for people with severe reactions to chlorine in our chlorinated pools.
A newsgroup member who loves the city's Aquatic Center, but hates the after effects of difficult breathing, wheezing, hayfever & allergy symptoms has found relief by taking, prior to exposure, Chlorinum.

Urtica Urens ointment is soothing and healing to irritated, itchy, rough skin. Made from Stinging Nettle, Urtica is helpful with the itching, burning sensations of bee, wasp and hornet stings.
Urtica ointment also is a natural balm for diaper rash, dry skin patches, cracked lips.

The PH is different with different insect stings. Home remedy for bee sting is a slice of onion or a baking soda poultice.
Use vinegar or lemon juice to neutralize hornet stings. My son used Apis and Vinegar successfully just a day ago on a hornet sting. (If you don't know the type of sting and use baking soda unsuccessfully, then switch to vinegar-apple or white vinegar.)
Rinse your children's hair out with apple cider vinegar to prevent bug bites (and have cleaner scalp and hair). Avoid bright colored clothing on children when out where hornets may be nesting.

MATERIA MEDICA FOR INSECT BITES AND STINGS:
Apis Mel (Honey Bee)
Rapid swelling, itching from bee, wasp, hornet, mosquito, rosy red hives from allergy from food, bites, stings, swollen eyelids, watery eyes, sensitive to touch, better with cold application.

Arnica (Herb)
Shock from traumatic stingings.

Belladonna (Belladonna- Nightshade Plant)
Horsefly bites,knifelike pain (Nightshade plant) deep red coloring, swelling feels hot to the touch.

Lachesis (Bushmaster Snake)
Blue-purple blotches-swelling numbness, wants clothing loosened and warmth applied, sensitive to motion, touch.

Ledum (Marsh Tea Herb)
Wasp,hornet,spider,mosquito Worse at night and with heat, better with cold application even though area feels cool.

Urtica Urens (Stinging Nettle)
Topical use for bites-stings, hives from allergic reaction, sunburn, windburn, irritated itchy skin.

Topical Ointments
Have a safe and fun Summer, Kathryn Jones Health Counselor

Veratrum Album, Keynote Symptom-Health Exhaustion

Here in Washington State we have had over 10 days of
100 degree weather. Newspapers are giving warnings of
the dangers of heat exhaustion, especially for those
who work outdoors, and those without air conditioning

To prevent heat exhaustion, keeping proper mineral 
balance is essential! Always take water and Bioplasma
before and after physical exertion.
Bioplasma can keep cellular levels of sodium and 
potassium to prevent fatigue, muscle cramping, 
lightheadedness, disorientation.
Bioplasma contains the 12 basic minerals used within
the cells. These mineral salts, called Cell Salts, 
can be used for illness, disease, general health
and prevention.

Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion:
disorientation
cool, clammy skin
excessive perspiration
dilated pupils
rapid pulse
headache, may be with nausea and weakness
nausea with vomiting
abdominal cramps, muscle cramping
lightheadedness

Sunstroke or Heatstroke can lead to convulsions, 
collapse, coma. This is life threatening because
the body's heat regulating system is no longer 
functioning! The person needs help to bring their
temperature down. Emergency proceedure includes
removing outer clothing, ice packs to cool the body;
place the person in car with the air conditioner 
facing them while seeking the emergency center.

Symptoms of Sunstroke/ Heatstroke:
body temperature above 102 degree
flushed, dry, hot skin
constricted pupils
disorientation
rapid pulse
seizures
unconsciousness

Prevention is a must. Use hats, seek shade, always
carry a water bottle, have sports drinks and 
Bioplasma handy, use portable fans and 
indoor air conditioning.

Veratrum Album is a first aid remedy that should come
to mind with sudden shock and collaspe, including
heat exhaustion, sunstroke/ heatstroke.

Indications for Veratrum Album:
cold perspiration on the forehead
naseau with vomiting
abdominal cramps, muscle cramping with exhaustion 
shock
disorientation, stupor
feeble respiration
rapid weak pulse
face pale
lightheadedness
headache, may be with nausea, vomiting
fainting
shortness of breath
head burning hot and covered in sweat
severe weakness, can't stand or hold head up

Other remedies for Sunstroke/ Heatstroke:
Belladonna - face very red, hot, without perspiration
Glonine - head feels like it's going to burst
Bryonia - severe headache from sun
Cuprum Met - severe cramping of muscles

10 question quiz on Veratrum Album

ACUTE Disease or Illnesses are of a temporary nature.
Symptoms come on suddenly and resolve rather quickly.
Use our REPERTORY at http://elixirs.com/remedy.htm
for help with homeopathic remedies for acute illness.

CHRONIC Diseases are those health problems that 
linger and deepen as we age. 
Further illnesses and stress add layer upon layer.

Homeopathic remedies seek to stimulate the body's
immune system and strengthen our ability to balance.
With Homeopathic treatment of Chronic Diseases-
one layer, then another, then another is removed.

Hering's Laws are used to explain how the healing
process moves in our bodies.
Hering's Laws state that as a person progresses 
towards health:
1) symptoms move from upper parts to lower parts of
the body (i.e. brain symptoms are deeper in the
system than a foot problem);
2) symptoms move from the inside to the outside
i.e. a liver problem is deeper in the system than
a foot problem)
3) symptoms move from more vital organs to less vital
organs
4) symptoms will disappear in reverse order of their
appearance

In our efforts to rid our bodies of sometimes natural
immune responses, we suppress or cause a deepening
of dis-ease. Then during Homeopathic treatment, we
will find a return of old symptoms as they are worked
out of our system.

An example is suppression of eczema with cortisone.
Later, the child develops asthma. Suppression of the
asthma with drugs comes next. Later, as an adult, the
person has hormonal imbalances. 
With Homeopathic treatment, and according to Hering,
healing would first remove the hormonal problem, 
next the asthma, and finally the eczema.

Working from last problem to first; from most vital
to least vital; from inside the body to the outside.

More on Chronic Disease, Homeopathic aggravation in
this series.
As a further side note on our above example-
According to experts such as Rudolf Verspoor,
60% of children who suffer from eczema and 
suppress the eczema from allopathic treatment later
develop asthma or lung problems.

Homeopathic Constitutions
Many of you attend Family Reunions in the Summer.
My family just caravaned through 4 states to a reunion bringing together 5 generations.
We long at times to reconnect with our heritage.Reunions bring together memories, relatives,
stories, history, emotions, etc. that make up Who We Are.
Homeopathy can address this core level of our
physical appearance
strengths
weaknesses
emotional make-up
temperament
heredity
characteristic ways of responding to physicaland mental stress

This direction of treating the person with a remedy that resonates best with Who We Are is called
CONSTITUTIONAL HOMEOPATHY
Constitutional Homeopathy enables us to get through the myriad of health complaints,
symptoms and repertorizing to find the remedy that best resonates with Who We Are.
The Father of Homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, noticed this phenomenon when
he mentioned that "Nux Vomica seemed particulary well suited to fiery,
violent, and malicious people, whilst
Pulsatilla was well suited to timid, anxious, tearful
people of a gentle and mild disposition."

Constitutional remedies do not change Who We Are,
anymore than moving away from our family changes our heritage.
Constitutional remedies can though help strengthen our weak areas and
act deeper in our system to help us stay balanced in life.

An excellent book that condenses a lot of material,
is the book The Spirit of Homeopathic Medicines
Author Dr. Grandgeorge tells us, "...exploring the 'spirit of homeopathic medicines',
or the underlying psychological issues encountered in each remedy...,
allows us to explain in just a few words all symptoms brought about by that remedy."
The book seeks to extract the profound essence of 300 remedies.

Constitutional remedies are found after the study of many characteristics
and then finding a distinguishing characteristic that defines the person.

If you would like to have fun exploring constitutional aspects purchase the book,
The Complete Guide to Homeopathy by Andrew Lockie, M.D. and Nicola Geddes, M.D.
This book has color illustrations throughout, including actual pictures of people
that appear to match common constitutional types.
The book includes a thorough test you can take that helps you to understand
common and particular symptoms, modalities and aspects of constitutions.
Studying homeopathy is enjoyable and fruitful.
Best Wishes,

Remedies for Sinus, Colds, Coughs
We have all experienced the physical discomfort as the body adjusts during different
environmental demands. Such as with changing to swing shift, and jet lag.
Adjusting to the change of the seasons is another demand placed on our bodies.
Often with the change of seasons, we are more susceptible to sinus problems, colds, and coughs.
With the recent change to Fall temperatures, I am getting calls about excess mucous, scratchy throats, flu, etc.

In less stressful times, our bodies would naturally adjust.
Often in our hectic lifestyles we feel we need help to balance our body's systems.
Over the counter medications often are ineffective and only work by suppressing
our body's various systems and symptoms.
Homeopathy offers freedom from side effects while working with the body towards balance.
Short-term illness with temporary symptoms are termed ACUTE in Homeopathy.
ACUTE illnesses and First Aid situations respond very well to Homeopathic treatment.

With ACUTE illness we use low potencies that can be repeated safely.
We also want a product we can grab at a moment's notice without taking time to research pinpoint accuracy.
Pinpoint accuacy in mostly needed with chronic and constitutional treatment.
Combination Formulas provide us convenience, when time is of the essence.

TOP COMBINATIONS FOR FALL ACUTE AILMENTS:
SINUS Complaints:
PULSATILLA for thick mucous-runny in a.m., stopped up at night, ears feel plugged,
dry cough worse at night, dry cracked lips.
EUPHORBIUM OFF for sinus pressure, dry and inflammed nasal membranes.
Euphorbium Off as a convenient nasal spray, restores free breathing, eliminates congestion.
BHI SINUS includes
HYDRATIS for mucous membranes, thick secretions from the throat, post nasal drip.
KALI Bichromicum for continuous hacking cough, yellow expectoration.
MERCURIUS Sulphuatus Ruber for pressure in the nose.

BRONCHITIS Complaints:
BHI BRONCHITIS contains
LOBELIA for difficulty breathing

Homeopathic Benefits Over Allopathic
Questions are asked to compare homeopathy versus conventional medicine (allopathic).
People want to know on how effective each form of medicine will be in a particular illness.
Homeopathy offers 7 basic benefits over allopathic medications for illnesses and disease.

The remedy given is tailored to the individual.
In conventional medicine it is often "one medicine fits all", or give what drug is the newest on the market.
Homeopathy is a holistic approach to healing our body and mind.
Medica Medicas are used to determine which remedy fits a person's symptoms.
Homeopathy is proven and scientific.
Materia Medicas fully document the action of each remedy based on testing (provings) done on humans (not animals testing or laboratory test tube studies. Many drugs available over the counter and by prescriptions are not proven actually effective. One government report stated ,"It has been estimated that only 10-20% of all procedures currently used in medical procedures have been shown to be efficacious by controlled studies." (Quoted from Third Opinion by John Fink) Allopathic medicines are often tested only on animals and actually have not been shown to be effective (or safe) for people. We also see drugs taken off the market when, as they are released and actually used by people, they are found to be dangerous. We've seen this lately with the heart damage done to Phen-Fen patients. By contrast, each Homeopathic remedy has had documented Provings done on humans. Healthy humans agree to take a substance and have their symptoms recorded. Interested in more history on the effectiveness of homeopathy? History Have more questions? See our FAQ page
Another plus is homeopathic remedies can be used safely with = conventional medicines. If you are currently on prescription drugs, you can use homeopathic remedies. When taking a drug that has unwanted side effects, homeopathic remedies can be chosen to help with those problems. Homeopathy can also be taken along with alternative healing treatments without interactions. Those who use vitamins and herbs can use Homeopathics safely and effectively.
Homeopathy is working with your body to produce long term stronger health. Homeopaths believe that homeopathy provides a way for your body to heal itself. Many health professionals feel that allopathic medicines are suppressive and push illnesses further into the body where later they emerge in worse health problems. Homeopathy is not about suppressing a symptom, but stimulating the body's natural curative powers. Taking homeopathics never cause a person to build up a tolerance. On the contrary, Homeopathy can enable the body to have greater immunity, less allergies, and quicker recovery from illnesses. Homeopaths care as much with your health 2 years down the road as providing immediate well-being.
Homeopathy is natural. A new appreciation is being seen in providing natural health care for our families. Homeopathy is now receiving new acceptance in the U.S. Limitations and problems are being experienced with the overuse of "miracle drugs". Many drugs can cause imbalances and the break down of organs that were not present prior to taking the drugs. Many health professionals feel that it is not natural to ignore symptoms in the body. Too often we ignore our body's signals until our illnesses develop into deeper health problems and then we hurry to medicate our problems and further suppress our awareness. Homeopathy is well known for working with the body's natural curative powers without suppression or harm. Homeopathics contain no chemicals. Animals are not harmed or tested on = the products.
Homeopathic remedies are safe. One of the best known facts about Homeopathy is that remedies are without toxic side effects and completely safe for all ages. From infants to the elderly, homeopathic remedies can be given confidently. Think of all the hazardous items in your home that can be poisoning dangers. We all are aware of the side effects with allopathic medications. A = person may say, "My sinuses are better, but I have this terrible dryness, etc." Boyd's column just reported, "Pharmaceutical experts say there's no drug that doesn't have a side effect. None" Many drugs can cause imbalances and the break down of organs that were not present prior to taking the drugs A June19, 1998 press release warned patients who have had their prescriptions changed from the blood pressure medication, Posicor, to similar drugs, of possible complications including a confirmed death. Compare this to the safety of Homeopathics. Even if your child accidentally downs an entire bottle of a Homeopathic remedy, you don't call the 800 poison hotline. Even test subjects doing homeopathic provings suffer no long term ill effects. Homeopathy is an accepted safe form of medicine in many countries. In the U.S., the FDA, has regulated the listing and manufacture of homopathics since 1938. Homeopathic single remedies and combination remedies can be sold over the counter Our over-the-internet-counter Unlike alternative healing modalities, legally we can tell you benefits of a homeopathic substance. Want to read about homeopathy? See our booklist
Homeopathic remedies are inexpensive. Homeopathy is inexpensive in the initial low cost of remedies, products, kits; and in preventing small problems from lingering and needing more expensive health care. You'll no longer wait until an illness has progressed 2 or 3 weeks to seek medical help with homeopathic remedies available. Considering that American spend $10,958,904 per day on over-the-counter pain relievers alone, homeopathy offers low cost answers .(Statistic = from "On An Average Day" Tom Heyman).

Bedwetting Remedies

Bedwetting is found in children from all countries and races.
Boys are more likely to suffer from bedwetting.
The term Enuresis is used in homeopathic books for both bedwetting and adult incontinence.
For adult incontinence, see our Uri-Control tablets

Don't overlook the possible cause of bedwetting being due to food sensitivities and food allergies.
Food sensitivities and food allergies can contribute to irritation, and relaxation of the bladder neck muscles,
which allows the urine to leak during the night.
Urination may come during the very deep sleep stage.
The foods most likely to offend are milk, orange juice, peanuts and sugar.
