Once you have decided on the most similar remedy it's time to consider the potency and dose (or repetitions). When choosing potency there are several consideration:
Overseas travel, while very exciting and necessary, can play havoc with our bodies and our minds. Homeopathic remedies can be extremely useful in allowing the smooth adaptation to change and helping to cope with jet lag symptoms and excitement and anxiety. There are also excellent remedies for first aid and the treatment of simple ailments and a compact travel kit that takes up very little luggage space.
This document discusses polypharmacy in homeopathy, which is prescribing two or more remedies simultaneously. It describes individualized polypharmacy, where multiple remedies are prescribed based on the patient's symptoms at different levels. It also discusses non-individualized polypharmacy using pre-made complex formulas for common conditions. While complexes can be useful for beginners, individualized prescribing is preferred. The arguments against polypharmacy are that remedies have only been proven singly and using combinations makes it difficult to identify the effective remedy.
This document discusses the use of homeopathy for sports injuries. It recommends keeping common homeopathic remedies like Arnica, Aconite, Hypericum, and others in a sports bag to treat injuries. Arnica is recommended for bruising, soft tissue damage, and shock. Other remedies like Bryonia, Ledum, Rhus tox, and Ruta grav are suitable for different types of bone, tendon, and ligament injuries. The document also provides information on remedies for muscle aches, cramps, and tiredness after exercise. It includes special offers on homeopathic remedy kits and a free home prescribing book with orders this month.
Runny noses in animals are common during seasonal changes and winter months, often caused by allergies, environmental factors, or viruses. Symptoms start as a clear discharge but can progress to thick yellow or green mucus, and in some cases bronchitis or pneumonia if left untreated. Several homeopathic remedies including Aconite, Allium cepa, Arsenicum, Gelsemium, Kali bichromicum, Mercurius, and Natrum muriaticum can help treat different nasal discharge symptoms. Most cases resolve quickly but chronic cases may require additional support.
Many people, especially children, are susceptible to colds and flu as the weather turns colder in late March. Taking remedies like Anas barb 200c biweekly or monthly and Calc carb weekly can help strengthen immunity. Aconite is recommended at the first sign of a cold, flu, or sore throat, especially after dry, cold wind exposure, while Gelsemium suits classic flu symptoms and Ferrum phos mild fever and flushed cheeks in early illness.

Arnica is used to treat effects of physical trauma such as injuries, bruising, and soreness. It can help reduce pain, swelling, and promote healing after accidents, surgeries, or strenuous physical activity. Common symptoms it addresses include feelings of soreness and sensitivity all over the body or in injured areas, as well as defensiveness, anxiety, and insomnia. Arnica works by reducing inflammation and bruising from impacts or blows to muscles, soft tissues, and nerves.
Arnica is indicated for physical and emotional trauma resulting from accidents, injuries, surgery, or childbirth. It can help reduce symptoms like bruising, soreness, shock, and feelings of being "bruised and beaten" all over the body or in injured areas. Mentally, arnica can help alleviate defensive, anxious, or withdrawn states that sometimes occur after trauma. Physical symptoms it can address include headaches, chest pain, skin eruptions, soreness of extremities, and sleep issues like restlessness or dreams about the traumatic event. Arnica aims to speed healing from both physical and emotional wounds.
As we know colic and reflux can cause
babies and parents relentless distress and
exhaustion.
Reflux is the spontaneous passage of acid stomach
contents upwards into the oesophagus. There may
or may not be associated vomiting. Colic symptoms
usually affect the stomach and intestines and may be
due to an immature digestive system.
This document discusses how suppressed anger can manifest physically based on three homeopathic remedies - Ignatia, Nux vomica, and Staphysagria. Nux vomica types experience tension and irritability when unable to express anger, leading to headaches and digestive issues. Ignatia often turns anger into grief and has throat and emotional issues. Staphysagria feels easily offended and suppressed anger causes digestive problems and susceptibility to infections. The document examines how different constitutions process and suppress anger differently, with varying physical symptoms.
Homoeopathy can help support the repair of broken bones by reducing pain and assisting calcium metabolism. Several remedies are mentioned as potentially helpful including Arnica to reduce trauma and promote healing, Bryonia for irritability and pain worsened by movement, and Hypericum for nerve damage from crush injuries. Rhus tox and Bryonia can be alternated to relieve painful stiffness, while Ruta grav and Rhus tox may assist with non-union of fractures. Symphytum can speed bone union where healing is slow. The document also provides information on product specials and educational resources from the homoeopathic supplier.
Homoeopathy can be used to treat sick or injured birds in the same way it is used for humans. Remedies can be given by crushing pellets and adding them to the bird's water or directly into its mouth. Common remedies for birds include arnica for trauma, aconite for shock, ignatia for grief, symphytum for broken bones, rhus tox for stiffness, dulcamara for chill, arsenicum for changes in weather, and carbo veg and hypericum for wounds. A book on homoeopathic treatment for birds is recommended for bird owners.
Arnica and Calc phos can help ensure a healthy pregnancy and birth. Arnica reduces soft tissue damage during labor and aids recovery, while Calc phos reduces problems like mastitis and calcium deficiency when started before the due date. After birth, Aconite can help anxious animals, while Pulsatilla or Sepia may be suitable depending on the animal's mood. For C-sections, Arnica and Hypericum before and after can aid healing, along with Staphysagria for incisions. Mastitis remedies include Belladonna, Bryonia, Hepar sulph, or Urtica urens depending on symptoms, while recurring issues may respond to Calc carb.
Mental and emotional symptoms are highly important in homeopathic remedy selection. They represent the person's character and individuality. These symptoms include all emotions, temperaments, disturbances of the will and understanding, as well as dreams, delusions, fears, embarrassment, forgetfulness, laziness, and social needs. Some symptoms are part of the constitutional temperament, while others may be transient responses to disease. It is important that mental and emotional symptoms clearly limit the person, not just represent character traits, in order to be useful for repertorization and finding the correct remedy. The vital force expresses these symptoms uniquely for each individual.
Hahnemann developed the theory of miasms to explain chronic disease patterns. He believed there were three main miasms - psora, syphilis, and sycosis - that were inherited predispositions responsible for chronic illness. Psora referred to tendencies like skin issues and underfunctioning. Syphilis involved destruction and issues like necrosis. Sycosis involved overfunctioning tendencies like growths. Modern homeopaths recognize additional miasms like tuberculosis and cancer. Understanding miasms can help home prescribers realize why some remedies do not provide lasting relief and indicate an underlying state needing constitutional or miasmatic treatment.
The myriad of change during teenage years coupled with erratic hormone levels can result in a very unsettling feeling of instability and loss of control. Homoeopathic remedies can be like a miracle in smoothing and regulating teen hormones
Watson describes keynote prescribing as being based on one or a few outstanding symptoms that strongly point to a particular homeopathic remedy. Keynotes provide important differentiation between remedies that otherwise appear well indicated. Most remedies have one or two verified symptoms that suggest the remedy regardless of the rest of the case. Examples of keynotes given are reactions to smallpox vaccination indicating Thuja and mental changes after head injury indicating Natrum sulphuricum. The document also lists additional keynote symptoms and the remedies they point to, such as feelings of being bruised and beaten for Arnica or stung by a bee for Apis. Recognizing a keynote symptom allows one to quickly identify the most likely indicated remedy.
Cats can get flu symptoms like sneezing and nasal discharge even if vaccinated, as stress and low immunity increase susceptibility. Homoeopathic remedies like Allium cepa, Kali mur, Arsenicum, and Natrum mur can help prevent and treat cat flu based on the symptoms, addressing any stressors contributing to vulnerability. The document recommends homoeopathic remedies as an alternative or addition to conventional vaccination and treatment for cat flu.
Homoeopathic provings involve giving healthy volunteers safe amounts of substances to discover what symptoms are produced. Volunteers record any symptoms experienced after taking substances in potency form. Provings are supervised and use double-blind, placebo-controlled methods to reduce bias. The full range of a substance's symptoms are drawn out by testing on both males and females. Over 5,000 substances have been proved for the homoeopathic materia medica through this process over 200 years.
Oral surgery procedures require preparation and remedies for anxiety, infection, bleeding, pain, and recovery. Before surgery, Gelsemium or Aconite can calm nerves, while Pyrogen protects against infection. Arnica and Hypericum are excellent post-operative remedies for shock, nerve damage, and pain. During convalescence, continue Arnica and Hypericum until healing, using Hepar sulphur or other remedies for any infection. The document provides remedy recommendations and advertises related products and classes from Owen homoeopathics.
Obstacles to Cure & Maintaining Causes discusses potential hindrances to the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. Some obstacles include allopathic drugs, internal maintaining causes like genetic tendencies, and toxic or abusive environments. Personal habits like addiction and impatience can also interfere with healing responses to remedies. Coffee, essential oils, self-medicating, and assuming incurability too quickly are other potential obstacles to cure outlined in the document.

Obstacles to Cure & Maintaining Causes discusses potential factors that can interfere with the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. These include allopathic drugs, internal genetic or constitutional imbalances, and toxic environments that keep the body weakened. Personal habits like addiction or the overuse of stimulants like coffee can also deplete energy and act as obstacles. Being impatient with the treatment process or self-medicating can make it difficult to properly assess symptoms and find the most effective remedy. The document provides examples of each type of obstacle and suggests lower potency remedies taken more frequently to help overcome certain interfering factors.
The document discusses using homeopathic remedies to support a child's immunity and health, especially during times of growth, development, and seasonal changes. It provides information on several common remedies including Calc carb, Calc phos, and Silica to address issues like frequent colds, poor appetite, and low resistance. It also recommends Anas barb in cooler months and guidance on when to use Aconite, Gelsemium, or Ferrum phos if cold symptoms arise. The document encourages consulting a homeopath if symptoms persist to improve a child's overall resistance to infections.
Paying attention to the sensations described by a patient can help uncover the appropriate homeopathic remedy. Sensations express the particular nature of an individual's vital force. Some keynote sensations that indicate remedies include "as if bruised and beaten" for Arnica and "as if stung by a bee" for Apis. The book "Sensations as if" by H.A. Roberts provides a reference for unique sensations and helped the author uncover Arsenicum as the remedy for a patient who described a sensation of a "ball of mucus lodged in the throat".

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Β
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

1. Potency and Dose
Now that you have decided on the most similar remedy itβs time to consider the potency and
dose (or repetitions). When choosing potency there are several considerations:
1. How well does the remedy fit? If you are not certain about the remedy use low potency
and reassess after several repetitions.
2. What is the vitality and immune system of your patient like? The intensity of symptoms
can show you this. A child usually has a strong vitality, and a fever which is a strong
immune response shows good vitality. Whereas a person with slow recovery time and
low energy reserves shows low vitality. If you are unsure choose conservatively. Every
family member will be different in their response to remedies and sensitive people are
usually better with low potency.
3. If there is lots of physical problems and issues, take care, use low potency and maybe an
organ support remedy. A homoeopathic consultation is recommended for cases such as
these.
4. Match the potency and dosage with the pace and intensity of the disease. How long has
it been going on? Is it functional (fever) or structural (arthritis)? The sudden onset of fever
in a healthy child may need hourly repetitions of the chosen remedies (such as
Belladonna or Aconite) to encourage a healing response. A chronic illness such as
arthritis may need several weeks of a twice daily repetition of the indicated remedy. In
the case of acute flare-ups the remedy picture of the acute symptoms may indicate a
different remedy and respond to more frequent doses. Once the acute episode is over
you can go back to the more constitutional remedy.
Potency scale:
6x This low potency is close to the starting or source material and contains tiny amounts of
the original material. Useful when the vitality is low and there are chronic problems. Repetitions 3
β 4 times a day.
12x Like 6x - short term effect, therefore requires frequent repetition. May still have a profound
effect in a sensitive patient. Rarely used in Australia.
6c Useful home prescribing potency. There is still some of the source material present in the
2. remedy and the action is broad; meaning a close remedy can still stimulate a healing response.
Repeat 2 -3 times a day, or even more frequently in acute cases.
30c Reaches a higher and deeper level of the organism. Useful in both acute and chronic states,
it works on the mental, emotional & physical levels. 1 β 3 times a day depending on the ailment,
for long term use 2 β 3 x per week.
200c Powerful potency which profoundly affects the emotional and mental levels as well as
physical. It can be good in accidents and acute prescriptions when you are sure of the remedy.
Otherwise 1 dose per fortnight or month as needed.
M Considered to be gentler than 200c and not as rapid in action. To use this potency you should
be very sure of the remedy choice. 1 dose usually holds for 1 β 6 months.
10M Symptom picture must be very clear and the homoeopath chooses this potency when there
are many clear mental and emotional symptoms. A good and timely 10M prescription can
complete the cure or ameliorate for months.
