I feel compelled to start this one by telling you that if you don’t understand how homeopathy works, please do some additional reading! I have limited time when I create posts and do not have time to explain it in detail. But I can emphasize again that if I post that I am having symptoms, that means I am “proving” as they call it that the remedy is working. My symptoms are being “aggravated” and that is how the body moves illness and dis-ease out of you.
After a moderate chat with my practitioner Sharon, I was prescribed Natrium Muriaticum 30C, more commonly called Nat Mur. I’ve had it before, at the end of December 2020, in the same dose. I was able to take the first dose as a pill (the little “round balls” that come in the tubes) on 6/16, then finished it up with liquid on 6/17 morning and evening.
As an aside, you have to increase the potency each time you take it for it to be effective if it’s a multi-dose prescription. So I took it as a pill (under tongue) first, then mixed another pill in water. The next time I took it, I shook it 10 times and took 1 tsp, then shook another 10 times and took another tsp the next time. Shaking means you pound it against your hand, or you can stir it with a metal spoon. You do not touch the pills – use tweezers. And if you start to show symptoms and feel bad, you don’t take the next dose until you feel ok.
I’m beginning to think I need an entire article on “how to” and explanations, but I digress.
Also – disclaimer: I am not a Homeopathic Practitioner. I am sharing my experience and personal knowledge.
Well the first thing I noticed was I was able to get the 3 doses in without feeling bad, which was a victory considering how badly I had felt a few weeks ago. I also determined I have some sick house air issues, and so have been fixing that situation and maybe that’s why I have yet to have a headache. But the headaches usually come in the 1.5 week range, so we will see.
I have noticed that the eczema that I have in my ears has spread and gotten itchier. It’s now behind my ears and in front of them, and may be on the nape of my neck at my hairline. An article from Homeopathy Plus states the following:
“Physical symptoms include dryness and cracking of skin, eczema, psoriasis, herpetic eruptions, constipation, headaches, back pain, and more. Complaints often follow grief, heartache, and disappointment. Those needing Nat-m can appear hard or closed, dislike lengthy conversation and prefer to be alone. They are sensitive and easily hurt but avoid talking about their problems and don’t like being comforted or consoled.”
Well, except for the herpetic eruptions and lengthy conversation part, that nails me spot on.
Unfortunately, at the end of December I didn’t take any notes. But what I can tell you this time is that so far so good, and by that I mean I can live with the other things and am thankful that I don’t have a headache.
Yesterday 6/21/21, I had a chiropractic appointment. I have been advised that having energy work done during a remedy can amplify it. Chiropractic is energy work as the manipulations work on your entire body as nerves are decompressed and the musculoskeletal system is moved around. On this visit, my neck was indeed stiff but not as painful as normal. This time it was my SI joint and left hip, which have hurt on and off for a long time. I also had a tightness and pain at T8.
I tried something different that Sharon also told me to do, which was to take a Calcarea Phosporica before AND immediately after being adjusted or having energy work done, so I did just that. Calc Phos is used for headaches and also bones and connective tissue. See a short article here.
So far so good, but I have horrible gas! And it smells – bad! I am also bloated. The gastro section of the referenced article didn’t mention these but did mention gastro upsets. I hope this part passes soon! Ha ha
What I am hoping for is that the adjustment “holds” a bit longer, and has a higher chance of success. I will keep you posted!
Lastly, I want to share this Gaia.com video with you about homeopathy. If you watch it in the next 20 hours it’s free, but you can always watch it with a subscription. I thought it was very nicely done.
Love and blessings,
Nicole
