Revisiting "Huge Insect Lands on Kelly!"-- Elaine Lewis, DHom |
 |
|||
| Who remembers this case? Here it is again: I was out in my backyard, doing some trimmimg; more like bush-whacking actually, as my backyard is all wetlands! Whacking away, I noticed a stinging sensation on the back of my leg. I looked down and saw a horsefly the size of an aircraft carrier attached to my leg! Brushing it off, I returned to work. Within seconds, I experienced a prickly sensation that began to burn and sting! The area was quickly turning red and began to swell. I went inside and took a hot shower. Afterwards, I noticed that the redness and swelling had worsened and it was becoming very itchy. Soon the area was the circumference of a grapefruit on the back of my leg, just above the knee; hot, red and swollen. The area was a perfect circle, sticking out maybe an inch. I took a 30C potency of a certain remedy, which I repeated two or more times within the hour and could see the redness and swelling decrease as well as the itching. The next morning, the area was slightly red, barely swollen with little or no itching. There was no sign of it the following day! It sounds serious, doesn't it? How would you like to have this happen to you? Well, I guess if you're a homeopath, these things just don't upset you because almost all (19) of our 22 participants in the August Quiz got it right! Here's what some of our smart readers had to say: ---------------------- I'd say the remedy used was Apis, since it has swelling, redness, burning, stinging and is worse for heat. Christine Wyndham-Thomas Dearest Elaine, APIS is the remedy not just
because we have sting of an insect; there are many other remedies
for this. STINGING, BURNING pains This time causation as well as sensation
and modalities helped me to find the remedy. Thank you so much for
all the good stuff . With best wishes and lots of love, Hi Lewis, [Hi!] You have used Apis Mel.
It is used for insect bites which produce burn and stinging sensation
etc. I am not a homeopath, but just a admirer of homeopathy and
frequent visitor of hpathy.com. ANSWER TO THE QUIZ OF AUGUST ISSUE: apis mellifica reasons: Dr. m. nigar
parveen B.H.M.S III YR. Apis mel. -- hot, red, swelling, stinging, burning, prickling, itching -- after insect bite -- < heat. In healing, For insect bites, four remedies come to my
mind instantly: Apis, Ledum, Carb-ac and Urt-u. Regards. I have indeed had a similar experience - though not quite as big as an aircraft carrier I'm sure!!! Well, it has to be Apis I'd say. Burning, stinging < heat. Swollen and itchy. Apis is even in bold capitals in Murphy's repertory under skin, prickling sensation - so surely you agree? Regards again Number one remedy for bug bites which turn red, swell, worse for hot water is Apis. Dana Thrasher Hi Snoopy. [Hi!] Red, Hot and inflammed. worse heat. IT IS APIS MEL :) Regards, APIS, hot and inflamed,
worse for heat. ---------------------------------------------
