Why Homeopathy?
There are countless reasons to use homeopathy to address nearly every health issue, both acute and chronic. This month my social media platforms are highlighting just four reasons, but I will share a few more with you here.
#1 Homeopathy is a natural alternative to over-the-counter products. It can bring comfort and aid in healing acute ailments such as headaches, colds, coughs, aching muscles and so much more!
#2 Do you want to avoid over-the-counter products and medications that have undesirable side effects? Homeopathy can help! Potentized remedies formulated under strict standards in homeopathic pharmacies are made from things like plants, minerals, and animal material. Address your health concerns without the side effects!
#3 Is it possible to improve and even uproot chronic health issues such as anxiety, eczema, and arthritis? Yes! Why get on the medical product treadmill that can feel like whack-a-mole with new symptoms cropping up as a result of side effects? Try homeopathy instead!
#4 Learning to use homeopathy for myself and my family has provided a gradual infusion of confidence that I can tackle most health issues at home safely and effectively! It is such a great feeling knowing I am able to bring relief and even healing to my family and friends.
#5 Did you know that according to a 2019 WHO Report, homeopathy is the second most widely used medicine around the world? And allopathic or Western medicine is not the first!
#6 Have you ever worried that you may leave a medical office or facility contracting an illness that you didn't have upon arrival? You can avoid many such medical office visits altogether with homeopathy!
#7 Have you ever been told you will have to be on a medication for the rest of your life? In some cases, such as diabetes, this may be true, but homeopathic treatment aims to aid the body in healing itself. Homeopathic remedies assist the body's natural healing mechanisms where it is unable to do so on its own until eventually the body can take over and there is no further need to take the remedy/remedies.
#8 A homeopathic remedy on average costs approximately $10. We could have saved ourselves tens of thousands of dollars when our daughter was sick with Chronic Lyme Disease if we had only known about homeopathy!
#9 Unlike the vitamin and supplement industry, homeopathic remedies are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and must be prepared by licensed companies which follow strict guidelines of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
#10 Many double-blind research studies have been conducted which indicate the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. You can read many different studies on this page.

Success Story Spotlight
This month, and with her permission, I would like to share a story one of my students sent me. Homeopathy is such a blessing to both the two-legged and the four-legged family members in our lives!
This is our cat's story. Her name is Antonia Pantaloons. She had been my brother's cat, but his job called him away from home a lot, so he gave Antonia to me at my and my mother's house. Antonia had been very affectionate with my brother once she had adjusted to him (she had been a feral cat for years before he took her in), but it had taken months and months before she did adjust. We thought it would take her as long to get used to us since she just hid under a bed and wouldn't let us near her. She wouldn't even venture out of the room.
Well, after a few days of this, I talked to a homeopathic vet on the phone about Antonia and he suggested I give her one dose one day of Aconite 1M. I got it in a couple of weeks (Antonia still hiding all this time) and put it in some chicken broth which she drank. That evening, she walked into the living room where we were. This was the first time she came out of her back bedroom while the family was still up. She still retreated from us and wouldn't let us touch her, but we were encouraged that she at least would share a room with us. Next day, she let us pet her while she ate! Then, after that, she improved by leaps and bounds: each day she'd be calmer and calmer, not as easily startled by every little noise and more and more affectionate with every member of the family, even demanding caressing from us and wanting her tummy rubbed and combed.
Her one big remaining fear was thunderstorms: they petrified her, and made her go into shock, which tore my heart out to see. Also, she had recurring trouble with watery eyes and a runny nose. I told all this to the same vet, who recommended one dose one day of Natrum carbonicum 1M, which I then gave her. Within two days, her eyes and nose cleared up, she got bolder, even playing with and bedeviling our first cat who before had terrified her and who, even after the Aconite, she would just ignore and avoid. Thunderstorms still frighten her, but she just hides when they're bad, so doesn't go into shock anymore; her reaction is definitely milder to them now. Every time her mucus trouble comes back, I give her another dose of Natrum carbonicum and it clears up again. So far, it's been months in between doses, when before she never went longer than a week without having the watery eyes and runny nose.
We're so grateful that homeopathy helped Antonia adjust to us (we estimate it cut the adjustment time in half from what it was before), also that it continued to heal her small health troubles and helped her adjust to other cats of the household (there's not one of them she doesn't play and get along with now, after having been angry and terrified with them before).
For me, all this was a great refutation of the charge that homeopathy is just a placebo: next time you hear someone say that, just tell them about Antonia Pantaloons! ~E.N.
