you to send in your favorite Tips and Secrets on homeopathy.
We will publish a select group each month, acknowledging the sender.
They may be based on your own experience or taken from homeopathic
literature. Please identify the source of your information and your

Remember, a tip is not the whole
iceberg! Use these tips as part of a totality of symptoms. Let them
inspire further research. Using specifics ("take this for that")
in isolation may prove disappointing and can lead to suppression.

Oh no, split nails!
Antimonium
crudum has a marked action on the nails, causing deficient
growth. If, after an accident has split the nail, the latter does
not heal readily but grows cracked and thick, Antimonium
c. will make it grow as it should. I have also used this drug in
treating a split hoof of my horse.

Looks Like
Arsenicum

Acid is of great value in the most violent
form of influenza, especially with retching and prostration, when
Arsenicum fails. Sore

Nighttime restlessness, can’t get to sleep. Uncontrollable
vomiting (even water). Also, weakness after

Arterio-sclerosis where a high systolic pressure

Wequar - Pakistan
Pulsatilla
"Ripe cold" in which the discharges
are green and bland, not in the least excoriating; bad smell in
the nose, as of old catarrh. If given in the beginning it usually
spoils the case, for sneezing and excoriating discharges are not
its characteristics. Farrington's Comparative
Materia Medica
Murthy - India
Nitric acid
In regard to the sticking pain as from splinters-- " This is a grand keynote of Nitric Acid and will serve
to indicate wherever it is found. It requires a touch or
movement to elicit it. When it occurs in the throat it requires the act of swallowing
to set it up; in the anus, the passage of stool; in ulcers, the touch of a dressing. It may occur in any part of the body : in in-growing toenails. "
J.H.Clarke /repeated by M.L. Tyler
Calendula
Chief among the homeopathic remedies available for diaper
rash is Calendula. Parents frequently find that the rash heals rapidly
after applying Calendula lotion/ointment/gel. A
word of caution here. If calendula is available to you only
in tincture form, which contains alcohol, it will 'burn' the skin.
The tincture must
be diluted in a ratio of 1 part remedy to 3 parts water before use.
Homeopathy

indicated in dysentery when there are tearing pains down the thighs during
defecation. (A single remedy
of grade 2)
Kent’s Repertory -
Thanks to Murthy - India
That Sinking Feeling
Hahnemann gives us an important foot note. "That
symptoms of a not very important character, and, otherwise, trivial
affections induce a sudden and complete sinking of the strength,
is a very important and characteristic peculiarity of Arsenicum."
Guernesey adds " Exhaustion is not felt by the patient
when lying still, but as soon as he moves, he is surprised to find
himself so weak."
Tyler's drug pictures
- Murthy -
India
Nux Vomica
When the stomach is sick, it will empty its contents with
no great effort ordinarily, but in Nux, there is retching and straining as
if the action were going the wrong way, as if it would force the
abdomen open; a reversed action; retches, gags, and strains and
after a prolonged effort he finally empties the stomach. Stomach, nausea, inability to vomit : nux-v. This symptom is a very common problem attending many acute
ailments and a dose of Nux vomica
will pave the way to cure. Stomach, nausea, inability to vomit :
nux-v.
Kent's MM quoted by
Tyler -Murthy
Apis
Back, eruptions, prickly heat : Apis
mel. Only remedy of grade
2 in Kent's
repertory.
Murthy
Potpourri
I have used Alumina-200
in alteration with Merc. Sol-200 for intense itching when worse
with warmth.
Coffea Cruda-200 in alternation with Kali.
Phos-200 has been useful for treating insomnia
Explore Sulphur-200 as
an inter-current remedy in sexual weakness
In Ptosis
(Drooping of eyelids), I have succeeded with Causticum
in high potency in alternation with Gelsemium
and Kali Phos.
In violent dry and fatiguing
cough, Rumex-30 has given me good results
Consider Colocynthis,
Gnaphalium ,
Rhus tox when
treating sciatic pain
In Anorexia, Cocculus-30,
Pulsatilla-6+30, China-30 are remedies recommended by Dr. P. N.
Pai and have been has been found useful
in many cases.
Most of my cases of Dysentery
have been cured with Colocynthis and Merc.
cor
I have used the trio of
Arsenicum alb, Ipec
and Natrum sulph in treating asthma

Not Your
Ordinary Itch
Petroleum :Itching
with no visible eruption. He scratches the skin until moisture oozes
forth, and keeps on scratching until the skin bleeds and the part
becomes cold.
