Using homeopathy to create a healing home

Some remedies shout. Aluminum met whispers. It moves slowly, and so do the people who need it. Their skin cracks. Their bowels stall. Their thoughts wander off mid-sentence. Meanwhile, the clock seems to crawl. This remedy once cost more than gold, and kings ate dinner with it. Now it sits quietly in your kit, waiting …
It is 2 a.m. Your child coughs. Then coughs again. Then coughs eleven more times. You lie there doing math on how many hours of sleep remain. The dog gives up and leaves the room. Meanwhile, the cough syrup bottle sits in the cabinet, promising drowsiness and not much else. I have been in that …
Gunpowder explodes. It also fights infections, at least according to two centuries of homeopaths. Sounds strange, right? Stay with me. This same black powder, found in fireworks and old muskets, became a trusted remedy for wounds, boils, and blood poisoning. Shepherds sprinkled it on their lunch. Soldiers carried it in their pockets. Somehow, it worked. …
August rolls around, and your calm summer kid turns into a bundle of nerves. Backpacks pile up by the door. Lunch boxes multiply overnight. Bedtime turns into a full negotiation. First-day jitters hit hard, and so do the tears at drop-off. You want to help without reaching for a pill bottle. Good news: homeopathic remedies …

Separation anxiety hits babies, toddlers, and school age kids alike. Some children cry hard at daycare drop off. Others panic at bedtime the moment mom leaves the room. I meet …
Your child catches another cold. Again. You have another bout of bronchitis. It’s time for your yearly cold that settles in your chest and causes you to cough for the next three months. We need answers that support the whole person. So you can also make thoughtful choices. That is where Thymuline often enters the …
Your child starts coughing. You reach for the diffuser and a homeopathic remedy at the same time. That feels like double protection, but it might backfire. Homeopathy and essential oils do not always play nicely together. Peppermint, eucalyptus, and camphor can cancel your remedy before it even starts. I watch families make this mistake often. …
Do you know a woman who talks fast, jumps from topic to topic, then suddenly sighs and goes quiet. Her head throbs with pressure pushing outward from the crown. Her neck feels stiff and bruised. If this sounds familiar, Cimicifuga might be the remedy she needs. This little black root has a big reputation in …
Your child yelps in the night, clutching a leg that aches from nowhere. You rush in, half asleep, ready to fix it fast. In fact, growing pains hit almost every kid between ages three and twelve. They ache in the calves, thighs, or knees, usually at night. As a homeopath and a mom, I have …
