That's wonderful @owasco! I'm sure you must be learning a whole lot about health issues! I've gone to a couple of homeopaths over the years when I've had health problems that I know doctors cannot treat effectively, always been very happy with the outcome.
Enjoy, and thank you for sharing that link and the recipe!

I'm so glad to hear you've had such good experiences with homeopathy. So far, I have helped myself with bunnions, arthritis and sleeplessness. Homeopathy is the medicine we thought we were getting. It's painfully obvious now that the USs conventional medicine is more interested in getting us on as many of their drugs as possible, and for life. I hear that homeopathy is more highly regarded in other countries. I'd love to hear more about what your experience with it has been.
My medical aid sets aside a limited fund for 'alternative' healthcare.
My first wow moment was when my son had quite a bad femur fracture at the age of 2. He was supposed to be in traction for 5 weeks, & then a week to learn to walk again. I was seeing a homeopath for allergy and sinus issues at the time. She gave me one tablet(comfrey, the knitbone herb she called it) to give to him (obviously not in front of the nurses)
At the 4th week x-ray they took him off the traction, the fracture was totally healed, a whole week sooner than expected.
I believe alkaloid-free comfrey tea helped heal my fractured ankle so quickly, they couldn't even see where the fracture was after 4 weeks.
A homeopath also helped wean me off antidepressants.
Some say the biggest killer is MD! A harsh statement but the fact that we're put onto chronic meds when we have mild symptoms, is criminal in my opinion!
I admire doctors who do not over-prescribe, but there aren't many.
Enjoy your journey of finding and treating the cause, not just the symptoms!
I'm so delighted that you had these experiences!
Symphytum would have been the remedy's name for knitbone and it is made from comfrey. I'm taking it now for arthritis, and it has made an incredible difference. That one is useful, as are all the remedies, for a great many ailments.
I just recently learned a protocol for weaning someone off anti-depressants. Can't remember it off the top of my head. Boy do I wish I had known what I now know back when Niko was suffering so.
I need to find a good homeopath in my area, the one I used to see is a little too far! My friend who tore a ligament is taking Symphytum. Would it help with joint pain due to bone density loss?
Symphytum definitely would be a remedy to consider. The bone loss could even be ameliorated. If a ligament is torn Ruta graveolens would likely be very helpful. Hypericum perforatum for the pain. Go here and use the search bar under the blog tab for any condition you need help with. Here's a link directly to her blog post about what to do for all of those conditions. Free free free. It's very easy to get the remedies, and they are inexpensive. This is not only a medicine that actually heals, it is also one we can easily administer to ourselves, and for peanuts.
Insomnia?
#sleeplessness
What natural remedies help with insomnia?
I've tried melatonin, valerian, lion's mane, L-threonate, m-glycinate, etc etc etc.
But not Z-factor or the others advertised on the radio as "all natural" (expensive too).
There are many remedies for insomnia. I finally had success with my third try. It's not all better two months later but it is much improved. I used to have nearly sleepless nights every night. I would fall asleep easily, but be unable to get back to sleep until dawn when I woke, which I did every night. Now, after two months of the thrid remedy, I sleep through the night once a week, am able to get back to sleep most nights, and only have to read for an hour before getting back to sleep a couple times a week. This does not work like valium, it actually uproots the condition, specific to you, that causes your insomnia. REally cool stuff.
Tell me more about what your insomnia is like, so I can better choose a remedy for you. Do you have trouble falling asleep? Do you wake at a certain time? Is there something that causes you to wake, such as dreams or noises? Do you start suddenly awake? What do you think or feel at the time? Are there any bodily sensations. such as sweating, chilliness, itch? Gotta pee? Anything you can think of, tell me. Email is better, unless you wanna go public with private stuff!
