Some things simply never change.

Take Thanksgiving, for example — it has been around for a very long time and, with its long-standing family traditions, has kept a firm place in our hearts.

Anyone who celebrates Thanksgiving in the USA knows that the holiday is held every year towards the end of November. Always on a Thursday. The feast is essentially the heart of the celebrations and always consists of the same traditional foods.

Thanksgiving is steadfast, enduring and reliable. Thanksgiving never lets me down.

And neither does homeopathy.

Stomach bug? Ipecac helps!

That’s what I thought about a week ago, when I felt I was coming down with a mild stomach bug. The nausea was very strong, so I reached for my faithful and reliable homeopathy kit, which, incidentally, is already 30 years old (the plastic case has now yellowed a little)! The kit is even so old that the company that made it was bought by another company about 25 years ago. The remedy bottles are plastic, not glass.

How was it again with the shelf life of our remedies? I took a dose of Ipecac 30 and in less than an hour my nausea had gone.

I even have bottles of remedies from 1918, and I know they still work because I have used them! Of course pharmacies must state an expiry date, because they cannot sell a remedy from 1918 and guarantee that it still works. But in my experience these remedies retain their effectiveness; that is one of the best aspects of homeopathy.

By the way, two days later my husband thought he had also caught the stomach bug I had flirted with. I handed him the same old, reliable bottle of Ipecac 30 and, as expected, it did its good work. Read here for more about dosing and potency of homeopathic remedies.

As I said, some things never change.

Homeopathy – reliable, enduring, effective

With tradition comes trust. If a child had a sore throat in 1798, Dr Hahnemann (the father of homeopathy) might have prescribed Hepar sulphuris or Mercurius vivus. In 2017 — 219 years later — we do the same when a child has a sore throat and give Hepar sulph or Mercurius. Nothing has changed. There are no whimsical trends here. None of our remedies has been withdrawn by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration; US drug regulatory authority; translator’s note) or needs to be ashamed for having caused harm.

Homeopathy is steadfast, enduring and always reliable. Just like Thanksgiving and other traditions. We know what to expect.

Nux vomica soothes digestion

Speaking of which, if you have “accidentally” enjoyed too much of your delicious feast and feel nauseous — not because of a stomach bug as I described above, but from too much turkey and pie — then please read my earlier Halloween blog on overindulgence and keep some Nux vomica to hand.

Here’s to our traditions. I wish you a warm, happy and delicious Thanksgiving with your loved ones. And keep your home medicine kit close at hand, even if it may have yellowed a little!

Homeopathy helps — spread the word!

Warmly,

Yours
