Homeopathic Treatments For Acne

Acne is a very common skin disorder which affects some adults as well as most teens. Scars left by acne go much deeper than the skin’s surface; acne badly scars self-confidence as well as skin. This is why acne is such an important issue, and it should be cured. Homeopathy provides an effective treatment for overcoming acne. Homeopathic treatments for acne are effective for teens as well as adults.

Each case of acne is different and each case should be treated differently. This is why homeopathic doctors generally look at patient’s entire health overview, to understand a certain person’s cause of acne and thus, understand how to eradicate these causes. Homeopathic doctors believe there is no one treatment for all types of acne. Each case requires its own analysis and its own specific treatment.

Homeopaths believe acne is a symptom of a more expansive issue. Homeopaths do not concentrate on healing the skin alone but they also look at the causes from inside the body. For this reason, homeopaths concentrate on your entire medical history.

There are many natural, effective homeopathic treatments for acne. Patients treated with homeopathy tend to notice a drying of the skin and pimples, as well as a reduction in the amount of visible acne, after just a few days of treatment. Although, itching and irritability are symptoms also noted by patients treated with homeopathic treatments for acne.

The pimples we see are the result of an internal disorder within the body. For this reason, homeopaths tend to look at the physical causes of acne as well as what’s on the surface. When treating acne, homeopaths tend to work on the body’s own natural healing threshold by applying homeopathic treatments for acne which are said to trigger the body’s natural healing process.

When treating acne, homeopaths like to know the patient’s personality as well as their hobbies and even, the amount of sleep they get. They believe the patient’s circumstances are equally as important as the physical condition of their skin.

Your acne will worsen after the first few days of using homeopathic treatment. But don’t worry, this is actually a good thing, as it is a sign that the treatment is working. Homeopathy is the idea of fighting like with like. You should expect your condition to worsen for a few days before it gets considerably better with homeopathy.

It will be a few weeks before you notice considerable difference in your skin’s condition. Your skin’s texture, roughness, irritability and redness will improve. Over a few months, most people’s acne is completely controlled after using homeopathic treatments.

Yeastrol is a Yeast Infection Homeopathic Remedy For Men & Women

Yeast infections do not just affect women. They can affect men and children too. And when you get one most of your energy is put in to getting rid of it. Yeastrol is a yeast infection homeopathic remedy that was engineered to relieve all of the symptoms, not just the itching, for both men and women.

This yeast infection homeopathic remedy is all natural and was designed to get into your system fast. Yeastrol is sprayed under the tongue so that it is absorbed almost instantly into the blood stream. It has also been designed to be used safely with other medications.

Yeast infections can become very serious if not treated early. When there is an overgrowth of yeast in our intestines it will eventually turn into its fungal form and spread rapidly. It will actually penetrate through the walls of your intestines which can lead to toxins spreading through your body and directly into your blood stream.

But how do you know if you have an infection? It is difficult to diagnose because it can be mistaken for so many other things. You may want to see your doctor if you some of these signs:

· Bloating and Indigestion · Bone and Joint Pain · Itchy Eyes · Chronic Fatigue · Depression · Abdominal Pain · Continuous Sinus Drainage · Fungus On Fingernails or Toenails · Thrush (white coating of the tongue or your inner cheeks) · Frequent Urinary Tract Infections · Sudden Weight Loss or Weight Gain · Sudden Hair Loss · Sudden Vision Problems

Yeastrol was designed to fight symptoms from a yeast infection such as abdominal pain, digestion problems, mouth sores, skin rash, anxiety, weakness, genital itching, genital rash, genital discharge, urgent needs to urinate, burning urination and infection.

This yeast infection homeopathic remedy can help but you can also help yourself even further with your diet if you have an infection. You want to avoid sugars, soda, fruit, processed foods, white flour, grain, alcohol, and antacids. While avoiding those foods you definitely want to add more live yogurt cultures, water, vegetables, chicken, beef, nuts, raw garlic and rice.

Yeastrol is an all natural and safe yeast infection homeopathic remedy that can fight the symptoms of yeast infection in both men and women. You also want to eat the right foods and definitely schedule the appointment that we all dread with your doctor.

Question by Cathy B: how to make homemade bath salt out of household supplies?

Best answer:

Answer by 4cryinoutloud
Very easy, Epson salts, food coloring and essential oils (your choice of color and scent). It only takes a drop or two from an eye dropper of color and scent. It makes a great Christmas gift if you put it in a decorative bottle.

You can get the essential oils at any craft store. I chose Rose for mine. If you have to use household supplies try vanilla extract for your scent. It will turn the salts a brown color.

A Primer in Classical Homeopathy: How to Make the Interview Easier and More Productive

I’ve been a psychotherapist for 25 years. I believe it’s an important part of my job to make my clients as comfortable as possible from the first phone contact. Despite all reasonable efforts, though, the first interview seems to still be somewhat awkward and difficult for new patients. Really, it’s very understandable. They don’t know me. They feel vulnerable and unsure because they don’t know exactly what’s expected. They’re sometimes not even fully clear about why they’re there except they know they want to feel better.

The homeopathic interview may be even more of an unknown for some people. Not only does it start with the same “unknowns” as the social work assessment, but it adds some new ones, like the simple but monumental fact that it turns allopathic or “standard” medical practice on its head. You may have called the homeopath to get rid of that recalcitrant psoriasis, but he or she keeps talking about whether you kick the covers off at night, how you feel about injustice, or whether your sadness is worse in the morning or at night.

Knowing what to expect of the process and what your homeopath is hoping to learn from you may make the experience more comfortable and more productive. The following is not a medical manual, but a primer for those looking to work with a classical homeopath. Hopefully, it will give you a good idea of what to expect and how to participate so you get the most out of it.

Preparing Yourself Philosophically

One of the fortunate aspects of my practice is that I see people more frequently because the primary focus of it is mental health treatment. Even though it also takes physical conditions into account, people almost always call me because they’re sad, anxious, grief-stricken, panicked, or in some way emotionally distressed.

Unless a person comes specifically to be treated homeopathically and has already had some experience with the philosophy and practice of classical homeopathy, I usually anticipate spending at least some time in the first or second session on education. I give material for reading, lead them to the National Center for Homeopathy website, and take as much time as he or she needs answering questions.

What you can do, then, to make the time you spend more efficient and effective when you are actively seeking treatment from a homeopath is to learn a little bit about it beforehand.

In my opinion, the best book for the starting patient is Impossible Cure by A. Lansky. It is written in clear, concise prose and doesn’t fall back on “homeospeak” so you can follow her all the way through. And hers is an amazing, personal story of hope.

The principles of classical homeopathy are the following:

Like cures like.

This is the manner of cure. It is also called the Law of Similars and it is the way all proper remedies are chosen. It means that the practitioner is going to ask you a host of questions intended to draw out information that will help him or her choose the remedy that is most “similar” to your totality of symptoms.

The simplest example of the Law of Similars is what we do when we get grease on our hands. We clean it with soap (or, if you’re out in the garage, Goop), which is little more than fat. The soap removes the grease because it is grease.

In a homeopathic case, it may look like this: A little boy suddenly gets a raging fever with a pounding headache, dilated pupils, cheeks so red they could be purple and becomes delirious. The remedy a homeopath would choose (and there would be a couple of contenders) would have to produce those symptoms in a healthy person. By giving the remedy that would generate that particular type of febrile state to a person with it, it is cured.

This is why quinine works curatively for malaria-because when it is given to a healthy person over and over, it creates symptoms similar to malaria. Like cures like. This principle goes back to Hippocrates and has been considered by homeopaths as the basis for all true healing.

Hering’s Law.

This is the road of cure in homeopathy. In simplest terms it refers to the way and the order in which the pathology will be healed. Cure moves from top down, from present to past, and from in to out (from the spiritual-mental-emotional down through the organs from most to least important and finally out to discharge in a benign way, e.g., a runny nose, brief diarrhea, fever, or skin eruption).

One remedy at a time.

This is the technique of cure and it is an obvious but overlooked wisdom. If multiple remedies are given too frequently and in too rapid a succession (except in extreme and acute situations), the case can be lost. This is even more true with combination remedies (pharmacy concoctions that include multiple remedies, even those that antidote one another).

It is terribly important to let each one reveal in its time what it must. Some remedies take longer than others. We all respond differently at different times to our environments. Remedies are no exception.

The Nature of Pathology: Layers

This is not a standard homeopathic “principle” but it’s one that leads me to ask of patients regularly: Patience. We are not out to just make a symptom disappear at the expense of your vitality and health. We want to get rid of the psoriasis but not at the expense of seeing you develop uterine fibroids or heart disease.

We want you to be healed. And that takes time. When patients ask me, “Well, how much time,” I have to say, “As long as your organism needs. You’ll tell me how much time.”

The reason for this is that there are layers to everything today. Including pathology.

Western practitioners often mistake the presenting problem for the only problem they need to cure, not having been trained to see the embedding of one pathology over the other or the inheritance one may have received from one’s ancestors.

These are levels of defense. We know this by what happens in our relationships. First bad joke, we get a giggle and a snort. Second bad joke, we get a “cut it out.” Third bad joke, we get kicked in the shins.

It is common knowledge that when an organism is injured, it inflames. It is a mechanism of repair. Homeopaths trace what happens if the injury is not healed (by itself, with proper medicine or the removal of inflammatory agent): the inflammation worsens, leading to induration (hardening). If that is not healed, then the organism resorts to its last defense to save the whole. Thus a cancerous tumor or an ulcer is a result of this process at the genetic level.

In homeopathy there are three basic levels:

The Psoric

Physical level: Inflammation (fevers, rhinitis, cystitis), pain, spasm, constriction, sensitivity

Emotional level: Anxiety, apprehension, irritability, anger, sensitivity, insecurity.

The Sycotic

Physical level: Accumulation (calluses, warts), synthesis, deposition, and proliferation

Emotional level: Hyper-anxiety, fearfulness, hypervigilance, Super-vivaciousness, showmanship (most of American TV), boasting, rigidity, hardness (like calluses), precocity, collection (OCD). Also the opposite: too relaxed (a loss of collagen, dropped uterus), looseness in character, overly yielding, shame, frivolousness, bashfulness

The Syphilitic

Physical Level: Exaggeration, distortion (pointed teeth, curved spine), destruction (cancer), auto-immune diseases, mutations (scoliosis)

Emotional Level: perversion, cruelty, hysteria or mania, (borderline personality disorder, psychosis), distortion of reality and loss of connectedness, delusions, destruction, fearlessness, loss of will to live, loss of senses (smell, sight etc…).

Less Really is More

This concept is one of the major reasons why people have a hard time understanding and choosing homeopathy.

In homeopathy we do not use gross quantities of a substance. We use smaller doses, often below Avogadro’s number-meaning that if you looked at the medicine with an electron microscope you would see nothing. This is also called a “mole,” a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance, defined as an amount of a substance that contains as many elementary entities (e.g., atoms, molecules, ions, electrons) as there are atoms in 12 grams of pure carbon-12 (12C), the isotope of carbon with atomic weight 12. This corresponds to a value of 6.02214179(30)1023 elementary entities of that substance. It is one of the base units in the International System of Units, and has the unit symbol “mol.”

The way I explain it to patients is this: Homeopathy is an energy delivery system, like a musical instrument or a beating heart or a scream of “fire” in an auditorium. So if the remedy is sulphur 30c, there are no molecules of sulphur in it. It acts on the vital force (and this is important!!!) by energetic resonance. It does not work on our bodies directly the same way that taking an aspirin or steroid does. It seems to work more along the lines of quantum physics than Newtonian law. (Poitevin, Bernard (2005). “Jacques Benveniste: a personal tribute”. Homeopathy 94 (2): 138-139)

The rule of thumb is: The smaller the dose, the more potent.

How does this happen? According to one study, homeopathy works because water has memory.(E. Dayenas; F. Beauvais, J. Amara, M. Oberbaum, B. Robinzon, A. Miadonna, A. Tedeschit, B. Pomeranz, P. Fortner, P. Belon, J. Sainte-Laudy, B. Poitevin and J. Benveniste (30 June 1988). “Human basophil degranulation triggered by very dilute antiserum against IgE” (PDF). Nature 333 (6176): 816-818)

From Benveniste’s observations, it appears that what’s been in it has a resonant effect. It is similar to the way our bodies remember a trauma. We have body memory even when the trauma is long gone and resonate with similar states or situations, until that original traumatic injury is healed.

As a psychotherapist, I think the tendency of trauma victims to unconsciously set themselves in traumatizing situations again and again is a desire to self-heal in some ways…they are searching for the similar agent. Freud was close to this when he talked about the repetition compulsion. People are often horrified (and not unreasonably) when they engage in unhealthy behavior time and again. They rightly want it to stop. But when it is framed this way and they can see that they have only been seeking resolution, it becomes not only easier to understand but to actually resolve. They feel less guilty with unconscious complicity, less victimized by their pasts and more empowered to move towards change. I’ve seen this understanding alone start to bring about healing even before a remedy has been delivered.

Yegads! No Coffee???

Perhaps the hardest thing for some patients is the need to temporarily give up coffee. I’ve seen patients give up Vicodin, birth control pills, marijuana, and essential oils quicker than their daily java joy. I can absolutely understand it, too. I love coffee. But it is an unavoidable part of the homeopath’s process.

Although I’ve met some homeopaths who do not worry about coffee or other known antidotes (steroids, marijuana, camphor) very much, many of us do take the more conservative path. In general, it’s best to be prepared to have your homeopath ask you to leave the java (and the camphor) aside until you’ve reached a solid plateau of good health. It doesn’t antidote everyone or every remedy, but for most homeopaths it isn’t worth the risk of complicating the case.

What Do They Need to Know THAT For?

Come to the interview ready for a lot of unusual questions. It will not be enough for us to just “name that disease.”

What is important when we look at a patient and what are we going to ask you? We will generally work along the following areas even though we all have different styles and personalities.

Interior function (most important):

Creativity, compassion, forgiveness, centeredness, relatedness, empathy, adaptability, consistency in relationships, integrity/honesty, and consistency between intention and behavior.

Exterior function:

This may not coincide exactly with interior function. However, I believe and have found that our pathologies normally express themselves poetically or holographically. You may recall the expression, “as above, so below.” It is true for us, as well. So we will ask you about situations that reveal your capacity for appropriate behavior (clothing, responsiveness to social cues), money management, job status, time management, socialization, housing.

Physiological function:

Parents’ medical history, personal medical history, current disease state (psoric, sycotic, syphilitic), diet (especially cravings and aversions), exercise, chronicity (how long the problem has persisted), periodicity (how often it occurs and whether there are specific cycles), and modalities (what makes it better or worse).

Spiritual function:

Rigidity, belief system, presence, judgment, fear.

The Art of the Interview

When I teach clinicians and medical personnel (Verbal First Aid, crisis protocols, and alternative healing principles, etc…), I always remind them that questions, no matter how clever or how technically astute, are no substitute for the therapeutic relationship. There is an art to homeopathy that is not “technical” and cannot be acquired solely by accumulating knowledge. I’ve met people who could recite remedies and their exact properties by memory, but could not see a patient in his totality and could not, therefore, come up with the right remedy.

Part of what makes a homeopathic interview successful is the synergy between you, the patient, and your homeopath. There must be a give and take, a relationship of trust, and an open dialogue. If you have questions, ask them. If you have fears, share them. The homeopath must observe and listen, but no one can see what you do not present.

If in fact there is as much art as science to a good case-taking, then you are as much a part of that creative process as your homeopath. Be as open and as honest as you can and you will reap the rewards in the health, vitality and freedom you have always longed for.

Herbal Sedative 360 vegicap bottle: HE

We use only 100% Gluten-free, Vegetable Cellulose ”00” capsules for all of our encapsulated products. Herbal Sedative — Approximately 600 mg. each capsule. In today’s fast-paced world, the time constraints and pressures of daily living inhibit our ability to get a sound, good night’s sleep. That is why Herbal Extracts Plus has created a unique blend of all-natural medicinal extracts in an herbal product called Herbal Sedative as a natural means to combat this all-too-common problem. The superior herbal supplements in the formula – Valerian and Passion Flower – are two of the best-known botanical sedatives that not only support relaxation, but also relieve the anxiety and stress that can cause insomnia and even possibly lead to more serious health problems. If you are troubled with too little or restless sleep, or you are unable to shut out the day’s problems and unwind, Herbal Sedative can help you to settle down, relax and drop off to a deep, restorative sleep that will let you awaken refreshed – and all without the groggy feelings or addictive side effects that can accompany synthetic pharmaceutical ”sleeping pills.” If you need a good night’s sleep or you need to relax, then you really need Herbal Sedative. Purpose of Formulation: The premium plant extracts in Herbal Sedative are well-known, botanical sedatives that promote relaxation, calm the nerves, reduce stress and induce a deep, sound, refreshing sleep. Ingredients: A mixture of 60% Valerian Root (0.8% Valerenic Acids) and 40% Passion Flower 4:1 Valerian Root is Nature’s Tranquilizer. For centuries it has been used in alternative medicine to regulate the nervous system and relieve tension, irritability, nervous exhaustion and stress, anxiety and hysteria. As a sedative, Valerian Root treats temporary insomnia, helping to provide a sound sleep without the morning-after grogginess frequently associated with prescription drugs (such as Valium, etc.), and perhaps more importantly, Valerian also does not lead to dependence or addiction when used. Passion Flower is a very gentle (but effective) sedative that has a depressant effect on the central nervous system. The alkaloids and flavonoids are believed to be effective, non-addictive sedatives, which promote restful, sound sleep, particularly in cases of nervous insomnia. It is one of nature’s best tranquilizers and has been used for centuries as a reliable remedy for nervous, menopausal and premenstrual tension, irritability, fatigue and tension headaches. It is said to gently shift moods, alter perception, and aid concentration; and the alkaloids are thought to act in a similar way as MAO inhibitors, which may be of some help in cases of depression. In Italy, Passion Flower is used to treat hyperactive children.
