If the word, “homeopathy” is not familiar to you, it’s not surprising because homeopathy, the gentle but powerful healing modality, has been belittled and scoffed at since it’s discovery and development in the late 1700s in Germany by Dr. Samual Hahnemann. I promise you won’t have to wait until the last paragraph to get to the name of the remedy, but before the reveal, a bit of history.

 

Dr. Hahnemann withdrew from the medical establishment in the mid-1780s because he observed patients being harmed from the common medical tools used at that time, including bloodletting and toxic levels of chemicals like arsenic, mercury and sulfur. Calomel was a favorite cure for infections, syphilis and constipation with the “side effect” of mercury poisoning.  While he supported himself and his family by translating medical texts, Dr. Hahnemann conducted his own experiments in an attempt to find the “minimum dose” required to heal based on the wisdom of Hippocrates (c 400 BC), Socrates (5thcentury BC), and Paracelsus (16th century) who recorded medical mention of “like cures like” to restore balance.  Dr. Hahnemann created a system he named “homeopathy” during the 18th and 19thcenturies (homeo = like; pathy = suffering).  

 

During his experimentations, he discovered something remarkable — serial dilution combined with vigorous shaking (succussion) in between dilutions produced remedies that maintained therapeutic power, in what we would call today “nano amounts” of the original substance that stimulate the immune system to heal.  By the time of his death at age 88, he had written 6 editions of his Organon of Medicine, the definitive manual of homeopathic philosophy and applications; all painstakingly tested and refined before he allowedpublication. 

 

So, what is the #1 homeopathic remedy that makes people believers?  It’s Arnica montana, a plant commonly known as the Mountain Daisy.  You may be familiar with Arnica gel or Arnica ointment to apply to an injury caused by blunt trauma to soft tissue, that is -- the area of your body that you know will be bruised in a few minutes because you were looking in the other direction just before you slammed your leg into the edge of that coffee table.

 

In addition to Arnica gel and ointment, Arnica comes in vials of pellets in different homeopathic potencies to be taken orally. Consider carrying a vial of Arnica in your pocket or purse as first aid in 30c potency for minor issues or 200c potency in case of an injury more serious than a coffee table jumping out in front of you, like after a sports injury or a car accident. 

 

To speed healing after a surgical procedure, take a couple pellets of 30c or 200c potency just before and just after the surgery. Take it to recover quickly from jet lag and for situations like jet lag when you know you’re exhausted but you just keep going, running on nervous energy and feel like you can’t stop and rest.

 

A keynote symptom of someone who needs a dose of Arnica is voicing the protestation, “I’m fine, really, don’t touch me, I’m fine.” It’s also the #1 remedy for head injury. In fact, no matter how long ago an injury may have occurred, an oral dose of a couple Arnica pellets can heal, whether it’s shin splints or the lingering brain fog and headaches caused by past head trauma.

 

The reason Arnica turns a person from skeptic to believer is how fast it heals.  Take 30c potency for common injuries like bumps and bruises.  Take 200c before surgery or after a car accident.  The higher potency of 1M is usually indicated for something like long-endured head trauma symptoms.

 

How can something with virtually nothing in it that’s observable work?  

 

When you take a Homeopathic remedy, you’re stimulating your body’s innate ability to heal itself, so you shouldn’t repeat taking it regularly like you would a drug.  The effect of the drug is to numb the pain, which is actually a symptom of the body’s natural defense mechanism (like inflammation), rather than the issue itself.  This is why the drug needs repeating, because it’s suppressing the body’s action. Arnica speeds the body’s healing process, which means inflammation is reduced quickly, reducing the pain you feel because the tissue is no longer impinging on the nerves. Also, the blood beneath the skin, a “bruise,” may never develop if you take a dose of Arnica right after the injury.

 

If you are like other people who experience the healing power for themselves, the next thought is “If this works so well, why doesn’t my doctor know about it?”  Homeopathic remedies cannot be patented. They are made from ultra dilute substances in potencies where only an energetic pattern is left in the water solution applied to the pellets.

 

Homeopathic pharmacies worldwide make remedies today according to Dr. Hahnemann’s original instructions. As such, this gentle but powerful healing modality is considered real competition by the drug industry and the powers behind those companies have worked diligently in the United States to suppress knowledge and the use of homeopathic remedies at least since before the turn of the last century in America but it is widely used in many other countries worldwide.

 

Homeopathic remedies are affordable, 100% non toxic, non-addictiveand are officially recognized by the U.S. Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States (H.P.U.S).
