Home remedies and natural cures: Benefits of health care at home

Home remedies and natural cures or medicines made at home from natural ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, herbs are catching a lot of attention due to its very nature of cure: simple, no side effects, no chemicals, inexpensive, plus the pleasure of being able to cure yourself!. Read on for how all this is useful and how people are using these home made methods in their day to day lives to stay fit and healthy.

How much do you value your health? Can you put a price tag on your own health or on that of your loved ones? Obviously not, if anything, your health or that of your family is invaluable. Long gone are the days when drugs manufactured in laboratories were popular, when expensive chemical or synthetic drugs were deemed to be the best for our bodies. Apart from the forbidding cost, the side effects that the body has to deal with cannot be ignored. This realisation has dawned and people today are going back to natural remedies that humankind has been using for thousands of years.

For natural home remedies, the kitchen is a great place to start. It has almost all the medicines you would possible need at least, to deal with common ailments. All this at no or negligible cost, purity, without side effects and dollops of TLC (tender, loving care)! Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is just a little awareness and understanding that you need to make the best out of it. Read-up a bit on natural remedies to equip yourself to treat a toddler cranky with colic or diarrhea.

In home based remedies, the idea is to use the chemicals naturally present in the herbs, spices and other foods to tackle the offending foreign element in the body that is causing the pain or infection instead of flushing the body with hundreds of milligrams of strong chemicals in the form of antibiotics. Though essential for chronic conditions, antibiotics are not always necessary and are best avoided, especially for a lot of minor ailments.

It is common knowledge that antibiotics kill the friendly flora and fauna along with the offending bacteria or virus, thus causing the body to take longer to recover. Additionally, the body has to face a plethora of undesirable side effects such as excessive drowsiness, weakness, allergies and diarrhoea (caused by excessive heat generated) to handle. Scientists are discovering newer positive properties of foods and finding ways to it effectively to derive maximum benefits for the body.

Natural remedies can be used to effectively treat a range of ailments through correct and regular usage. Whether it is boosting your child's immune system, preventing hair loss, treating persistent acne or dandruff, treating aches, pains or cuts and burns.

Introduction To Homeopathy


HOMEOPATHY IS SAFE, EFFECTIVE, & LOW-PRICED.
Homeopathy is Safe for All Ages
All ages can safely use and benefit from homeopathy.

From the youngest infant to the elderly - homeopathy is safe and effective. Doctors, dentists and homeopaths may include homeopathic remedies after surgery treat with homeopathic remedies Pregnant women can use homeopathy to help with pregnancy and labor when other medications are risky.


What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a safe and natural method to repel imbalance out of the body and allow the body to heal.
Homeopathy stimulates the body's ability to heal with very small amounts of natural substances.

The wonder of homeopathic medicine is in its safety, the incredibly small amount of medicine needed, and the rapidity of healing. Homeopathy is from 2 Greek words, homoios: meaning similar and pathos: meaning suffering. Homeopathy therefore means similar cures similar or like cures like. The word Homeopathy was first coined by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of modern homeopathy.

Homeopathy has distinct differences from conventional medicine. Conventional medicine is also called allopathic medicine or use of opposing substances to suppress symptoms in the body. Homeopathy though works with the body's natural defenses. The amount of a homeopathic medicine needed is incredibly small, yet enables the body to rebalance in a short amount of time.

Regulation by the FDA
Homeopathic products are under the same regulations as allopathic drugs. Homeopathic products are considered by the FDA as over-the-counter drugs with legal status and can be sold without a doctor's prescription. Homeopathics Are Regulated By the FDA. Every homeopathic product bears a National Drug Code number, ensuring the consumer that the product has been made in concordance to The Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the U.S. Homeopathic medicines are prepared and marketed in accordance with FDA Compliance Policy Guide No. 7132.15. Manufacturers of homeopathic medicines are registered with the FDA and licensed by state regulatory agencies We can legally tell you the benefits and indications of homeopathic remedies.

How did Homeopathy Get its Name?
From the Greek words-homoios, meaning similar, and pathos, meaning suffering. Definition is like cures like.

Ingredients- What is in a Homeopathic Remedy? What are the Remedies Derived From?
Homeopathy uses natural products -- usually plant or mineral substances.
Homeopathy uses natural substances, not chemical or synthetic. The vast majority of remedies come from usually plants with other remedies from minerals. Homeopathic remedies that use organs, glands, or tissue are called Sarcodes (organtherapy). Homeopathic remedies for allergies can be from almost any allergenic substance and are called Allergens. Homeopathy from inorganic minerals found inside the cells of our bodies are called Cell Salts. Homeopathic remedies from rock and minerals form a branch of homeopathy called Lithotherapy. Nosodes are from disease substances that are rendered safe from homeopathic preparation of dilution. Remedies can be from poisons such as arsenic. Homeopathic remedies no longer contain whole molecules of the substances are therefore non-poisonous. The healing properties come from succussion and potenization.

How does my Homeopathic Remedy Work?
Your remedy works with your body based on 3 principles or laws used in homeopathy: Law of Similars is based on certain characteristic symptoms being the key to choosing a remedy. A substance, which may in a large dose cause undesirable symptoms, can in homeopathic potency repel these similar symptoms out of your system and the body rebalances and heals. Law of Potentization is sometimes called the magic of the minimum dose; homeopathy uses the smallest dose needed to get the body response. By extreme dilution and Homeopathic potentization, curative properties are enhanced and poisonous and undesirable side effects removed. Holistic Principle is that the remedy or combination is chosen to treat the person symptoms considering the person's specific needs.
Further discussion and information on the Laws and Principles of Homeopathy see www.elixirs.com.

Is There A Homeopathic Remedy That Will Help My Entire System?
Yes! It's Bioplasma, a combination of the 12 basic minerals used within our cells. To keep minerals in balance, keep energy levels high, boost the immune system, and keep your physical performance at its best.
Kathryn Jones, BA DiHom Health Counselor, feels the Cell Salts are the best way to become introduced to Homeopathy.

Cell Salts can be used with other homeopathic remedies and therapies to speed healing.

Why Choose Homeopathy? Here are Kathryn Jones BA DiHom Health Counselor Top Reasons:
The success and popularity of homeopathy is due to the fact that homeopathy offers a
SAFE alternative to other therapies.

The safety of homeopathy, by offering no long term side effects, is well known.
Homeopathy also boasts of being safe for pregnant women, infants and the elderly as compared with other therapies.

B) Through the process of dilution, remedies no longer contain whole molecules,
rendering them non-allergenic and non-poisonous. Goto Principles and Laws of Homeopathy for how homeopathy works.
Rather than cure by suppression, homeopathy stimulates the body towards balance.
Homeopathy uses natural substances, not synthetic or chemical.

C) Homeopathic Medicines are recognized and regulated by the FDA.
Homeopathics have OTC status, that is over-the-counter status.
They are recognized as medicines that can be safely sold off the counter in stores (and internet stores like ours!)
Most remedies are available without a prescription. Bottles have labels listed basic indications.

D) Expense is also a reason for homeopathy's success.
Homeopathic remedies on our site start at $6.99 for Hylands children's products
and $7.99 for single remedies 250 tablets.

E) Homeopathic medicines also enjoy popularity due to the fact that they can be used with other

Nor is it limited to whether the problem is physical, mental, emotional or a combination. The best place to start is with Homeopathy is Biochemic Minerals, called Cell Salts. Click here for more on Cell Salts

I Hate Swallowing Pills. Is Homeopathy An Alternative?
Yes, homeopathy is an excellent alternative to those who can't swallow large pills or have digestive problems. Homeopathic remedies can be purchased as liquids or dissolved in water. Most homeopathics are in small tablets that dissolve in your mouth. Through the saliva, they instantly enter your system, bypassing the need for further digestion. Great for those with sensitive digestive systems. Children also love homeopathics, with no large capsules to swallow or bad tasting liquids. Homeopathic remedies ususally have no taste, or if there is a taste, it is mild and sweet.

A proven way to build your knowledge & experience in homeopathy is with
Hyland Homeopathic Remedy Homeopathic Books and Kits.
Homeopathic Kits come with information. You will find having a homeopathic kit makes using homeopathy convenient and easy.

An example of an important first-aid remedy, is the single
remedy Arnica. Arnica is found in many of our Pain Formulas and Pain Ointments First-aid for any injury, pain, trauma, shock, sprains & fractures.
Arnica is included in the Kid's Kit, the Family Kit and the Household Kit from Elixirs.com.

Keep homeopathic remedies on hand for seasonal colds & flu. For seasonal illnesses, results are best when homeopathy is taken at the 1st signs of a fever, earache, flu, stuffy nose....
Having basic remedies or a kit on hand will enable you to respond quickly.
You'll enjoy savings in grief, worry, money & suffering with homeopathy. You'll no longer wait until the illness has progressed 2 or 3 weeks to seek medical help.

Is Homeopathy a Viable Medical Treatment?
Homeopathy is no longer thought of as on the fringe of alternative medicine. Homeopathy is on equal par with allopathic (or conventional medicine) in England, France, Germany, and India among other countries. In the U.S., homeopathy has been practiced for 170 years and boasted 100 homeopathic hospitals at one time. Scientific understanding of how Homeopathy works is increasing.

The same principles and steps used by Samuel Hahnemann (born in Germany 1755) on "proving" substances to be homeopathic medicines, hold true today. New studies verify that homeopathics do indeed carry a vibration with them. I like to use the example of magnetism. Just as a north pole magnet repels another north pole magnet; a like homeopathic medicine will repel a like vibrational illness in the body. Once the imbalance is thrown out, the body can heal itself. In the U.S. over 1000 M.D.'s and N.D.'s specialize in homeopathy. Many other health professionals use homeopathy in their practice.

Homeopathic remedies are legal in the U.S. and many countries throughout the world. The FDA, since 1938, has regulated the manufacture of homeopathic remedies. Remedies are manufactured according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the U.S.
Homeopathic single remedies and combination remedies can be sold over-the-counter and we can legally tell you online the benefits of a homeopathic substance.

Do you have an illness or health problem that has plagued you for years?
Do you not have as much energy as you would like?
Do you have problems sleeping?
Are you sick and tired of pharmaceutical drugs and all their side effects?

Did you know that the origin for the word pharmacology is Greek and means
"science of poisons" or that there is no pharmaceutical drug without side effects?
Are you are interested in helping whatever health problems you have diminish and
eventually be healed without all the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then it's time to try Homeopathic Medicine!

There are many Materia Medicas (some a 1000 page each) used by Homeopaths today. The remedy name is followed by Proving symptoms. The categories are similar in each, starting with mind symptoms, head, face, and down to the various system in the body, the extremities, etc.
When wanting to look up a particular symptom and the possible remedies that have shown that symptom under provings, homeopaths look in Repertories. Repertory Page for our on-line repertory of 47 remedies
The descriptive way to write the symptoms are called "Rubrics". These Rubrics are also listed in same similar order in repertories.

Studying Homeopathy and Homeopathic Remedies in a life long pursuit for Homeopaths. With a current interest in natural, no side effect healing many new Homeopathic books are on the market. These books offer in layman's terms the information from Materia Medicas and Repertories. These books also give general health care information.
Homeopathy offers a safe and effective alternative to medications with dangerous side effects.

Another interesting aspect of Homeopathy-
Homeopathics can balance both excess and deficiencies.
Homeopathic Glandulars, such as Thyroid Support, work to balance and support your thyroid gland.

Herbs and Herbal Remedies PDF Print E-mail
Natural Health - Alternative Medicine

Ask the average person to define herbs and he or she will tell you that herbs are green leaves that have some medicinal properties. Some may even add that herbs like Thyme and Sage are used for cooking. This is how most people define herbs; which is quite good knowledge considering that most folks are ambivalent about the actual use of herbs in their own lives.

A herb (the word rhymes with ‘curb’) is a plant that is grown for medicinal or culinary value.

Typically, the green leafy part of the herb is used, occasionally roots also are put to use. A culinary herb is non-woody and soft. Used for their aromatic flavor and texture, culinary herbs include bay leaf, basil, chervil, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme.

The world of medicinal herbs is even more diverse and surprising. Even the most innocuous looking leaf blade may possess a treasure trove of medicinal properties. A medicinal herb is generally a shrub or other woody plant used for therapeutic purposes. Herbalism or Phytotherapy is the practice of folk or traditional medicine that aims to cure “dis-eases” in the body using plants and the active constituents found within them.

This resurgence of interest in herbs was brought about by various systems of holistic healing. Now, more than ever before, people are beginning to realize that good health does not refer to an absence of disease. Rather, it is a balance of physical, mental, emotional and social wellness. Herbal health care is becoming increasingly popular because herbs provide natural stimulants that activate the body’s own defense mechanisms.

When orthodox medicine took over the reins of mainstream health care, herbs and their medicinal values got relegated to the background. One reason could be the problem of availability. Another more important reason is that unlike a pill or a tonic, herbs usually take more time to bring about an effect.

Due to our sedentary lifestyle, processed foods and industrial advances, we have managed to discover a large number of chronic illnesses that were virtually unknown in the past. Medicines used to treat these diseases have side effects. In time, these medicines also become ineffective as the human body develops a resistance to the medicine. After battling it out for many years, practitioners of conventional medicine are finally willing to admit that herbal extracts are an effective source of healing.

Herbal medicines provide a healing system that is in tune with nature. The medicines are characterized by simplicity, depth and effectiveness. They are cost effective too. Absence of side effects also greatly enhances their allure.

Some interesting uses of herbs are:

- Chamomile tea sipped slowly throughout the day helps decrease acidity and soothes the digestive system
- Alfalfa is a highly nutritious herb as it is a natural source of vitamins and minerals.
- Valerian root can be used to treat insomnia.
- Two fresh garlic cloves taken at night increases ones resistance to flu and colds.
- Feverfew is a herb that if taken consistently, effectively reduces the frequency of migraines.

Herbs, like any drug, bring about a physiological change in the body. If taken continuously for prolonged periods, they may affect the body’s natural ability to heal. The aim of herbs is to bring the body back into ‘balance’ so that there is no longer any need for medicine. Herbal medicines may not be the best, pure or only form of medicine. Indeed, it should be used as a complementary medicine that helps doctors achieve the most important goal of all – that of total cure in the easiest, most effective and shortest route.

Nosodes - Vaccine Alternative? PDF Print E-mail
Natural Health - Alternative Medicine

WHAT IS A NOSODE?
Whereas homeopathy generally means "Similar Cures Similar",
we also see with Homeopathy, Isopathy, or "Same Cures Same".
Homeopathically prepared substances from the source of the problem can be used. This enables us to use Homeopathic remedies to prevent illness and to desensitize the system from violent responses.


For example, we use homeopathically prepared pollens to treat allergies. A popular Winter homeopathic allergy remedy called Mold, Yeast, Dust helps to desensitize the body. Homeopathy seeks to naturally stimulate the body's natural defenses against allergy symptoms. Homeopathic allergy remedies put the body in a position to react less and less to allergens. Specific allergens gently, safely expose the individual to their specific weak areas. This allows the body's natural defenses to properly adapt to the allergen and no longer react to it adversely.


There are now Nosodes available for each of the currently vaccinated against illnesses. These can be safely used in infants and children as a viable and cost effective alternative to vaccinations.


Vaccinations damages the immune system and works as an opposing force to the body. Homeopathy strengthen the immune system and works with the body.

Vaccinations introduce several foreign substances directly into blood stream, causing serious side effects with possible damage to the nervous system. Homeopathic remedies are taken orally and offer protection without side effects.

Homeopathy has had an opportunity to prove its effectiveness in times of
epidemics and contagious diseases. The father of Homeopathy,
Samuel Hahnemann, was the first man to conceive that the products of
disease could be used in the cure of diseases. His preparation, Psorinum,
was the first preventative to be made.:--T.T.M. Dishington (1928).
Psorinum is still used today for deep set illness.


Dorothy Shepherd in the book, More Magic of the Minimum Dose, writes,

"What do homoeopaths want immunizing substances for? We have got much better agents which have been used clinically and proved many years before immunization was even thought of. We call them nosodes."

They eradicated illnesses didn't they?" I replied honestly and affirmatively, "No they didn't, hygiene and nutritional improvements did." But you could not accept my rationale. You heard me tell of my family's miraculous escape from the Nazis. "They lined millions of 'sheeple' up and marched them, with few protesting, to their early demise in the concentration camp gas chambers for allegedly 'showers.' Showers for what? 'Public health' and 'disinfection,'" I recalled and continued. "Today's physicians' offices, hospitals, and public health units are much like the 'concentration camps' of yesteryear, and today's vaccines are the 'gas.' Don't you get the similarity?"
