I get a decent amount of exercise, eat less than great, but am not horrible, work hard, have lots of life changes, but am feeling really out of whack (ie weight gain, skin conditions, frazzled, etc). Any books, experts, experience to help?

I’m looking for some homeopathic all-natural herbal or organic remedies to help with:

1) Pain alleviation.
2) Insomnia.

To start anyways. Recommendations other than scripts/OTC drugs would be appreciated. (I do not like to take scripts unless absolutely necessary as most times they are narcotics, and i do not like putting those things into my body.)

A physical building up of a tolerance for certain medications (even OTCs) can precipitate a loss of effectiveness, hence the physical need to ingest a larger dosage which can result in either a chemical dependency or damage to liver/kidneys and other organs. This is less likely with natural or homeopathic remedies.

Also, I am Vegetarian and ADHD so i only eat all-natural, organic or kosher foods. Nothing with artificial dyes and preservatives as i have a food allergies and i cannot eat them. So suggestions must fit this criteria also.

Thanks if you can suggest anything.

oh! almost forgot:
For insomnia: Recommendations Other than Supplemental Melatonin. It does not work effectively. 5mg tablets x ?
Most dosages are at 20+mg and after a certain point can induce coma, especially if mixed with antihistamines such as doxylamine, diphenhydramine, or common non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotic agents such as eszopiclone or zolpidem. Thanks!
*edit* Minx: As always, this was helpful.
What can i substitute for fish oils? (I don’t remember?!) I do not eat fish and therefore will not take a supplement. *ick* I tried it once before …. *ack!*

I only drink soda on a very rare occasion, for an extra sugar boost. My poison is coffee LOL. This actually dehydrates, and for every 6-8oz cup an 8-oz bottle of water is required to rehydrate the body. It’s a diuretic also, i believe.
You’ll be pleased to know: I’ve been weening myself off of the caffeine, slowly. [ahh the headaches! lol] It’s a process. BTW, did you know, that one apple in the morning will provide you with MORE energy than a cup of coffee?
It’s true.
Anyhow, thanks.

Besides obviously going to the vet – lm looking for homeopathic remedies or advice from someone who has delt with this before.

I reaserched online and found that, “All cats carry upper respiratory virus on their own fur. Cats that live together become immune to the carried strain but as soon as the bacterium is exposed to another cat or the immune system weakens, it will infect them. She may have food allergies triggering feline asthma, sinus/upper respirtory infection, abscessed teeth, gingavitis,underhydation, etc. Food allergies or issues can develop at any time but are more likely when your cats immune system temporarily weakens. If she has any infected or abscessed teeth or gingavitis, that could be the trigger….” – http://cat.justanswer.com/feline-asthma/vt7s-cat-sneezing-watery-eyes

Her teeth are fine and she’s been eating the same wet/dry mix diet for years. I think since its lingered so long its an infection, so any home remedies/ homeopathic treatments could I pursue
Forgot to mention that its been going on for a few months now and I trying to convince her to act on the problem…she just chalks it up to old age (cat is approx 10 years old)

haha idk i just like making things for skin and stuff. so please share ur remsdies with me.

I have been getting the stuffy, yet runny nose. Sneezing every other minute. Seriously, can’t stop sneezing. My ears get plugged too. It only lasts a day or so and then I’m fine, but it happens almost EVERY WEEK. I’ve gone to the doctors, and tested negative for the basics… mold, animal hair, pollen, etc. It’s all year round and during the winter season it seems to be worse.

I’ve tried everything it seems and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions, any homeopathic ideas on how to treat this? Any idea what this could be?

Our 4 year old has it bad. We have the eczema part under control now with the use of cortisteroids and Elidel. What have you learned helps when the itching is really bad? Preferably homeopathic.

She is a small dog (14 lbs) and has had this problem for all of her three years. My dog walker tells me that once the glands are squeezed manually by someone, the dog becomes less able to do it on their own. Also, she says that it is not a major or big surgery. I have tried everything to get her to push the stuff out of her glands naturally: letting her stool get really hard to she has to push hard; homeopathic medicines, change her diet to raw and removed all allergies, etc. Let me know what you dog owners think please about the proposed surgery.

Basically, I get hives in any spot where pressure is put on my skin. It’s pretty annoying and embarassing. People are always asking me what happened to my skin, and those hives are really itchy, too. It’s gotten to where I can’t even blow my nose because when I squeeze my nose the hives erupt on the inside and they’re itchy so I start to sneeze -endless process. The dermatologist gave me a histamin blocker, but I had to stop taking it because, even when I quartered it I was too sleepy to function. I figure that I can find some homeopathic ways to help myself. Anybody know any, please? Thanks in advance for answers!

11 days ago I had an extreme sore throat, mild elevated temperature, stuffy nose. Went to the doctor on Tuesday and she said “it’s a cold virus”. Now, I am STILL sick after all these days. Well, I guess I should say that I still have a yucky nose and I am tired, sore throat and fever are long gone.
I should also add that I worked all week, too and did a lot of running around on Thursday and Friday. Not smart with a cold, I know. I have been taking Cold Eeze and using my Neti pot to flush out my nose several times a day (I have MANY medication allergies so I tend to use homeopathic methods).
Everyone just keeps telling me to take a vitamin, drink plenty of OJ, and REST!! Any other suggestions? I am sick of being sick.
