| We invite 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 name and country. Send
your tips to us at Alanheal@aol.com
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.
These are the tips of our readers and do
not necessarily express the views of Hpathy.com or 'Homeopathy 4
Everyone'.

Rating Symptoms
After taking a case, how do you decide which symptoms to use? Here’s
one method: Rate symptoms on a scale of 1-4 depending on how peculiar
and intense they are. If it’s a mental symptom add 2. If it’s
a physical general add 1. Only use symptoms which score at least
seven.
For instance if you had, “Laughing at misfortune” which
was moderately intense:
Peculiarity = 4, Intensity =2, + 1 (it’s a mental) = 7

Kittie’s Cataracts
A cat’s eyes are subject to cataracts. If cataracts occur
at a young age, the culprit is most likely the cat’s food.
A change of diet should be instituted and Natrum muriaticum 12c
administered, twice/day for 3 weeks and repeat after 4 weeks if
necessary. Cataracts in cats that are ten years or older, require
Silicea 12 twice a day on the same schedule as above.

Which Side Are You On?
Better lying on painful side is a very useful rubric, because
it’s unusual and there are relatively few remedies in it.
It’s an excellent eliminating rubric. Bryonia, Calc, Cham,
Colocynth, Pulsatilla, Sepia and Colchicum are the top remedies.

A Hairy Tale
Unruly Eyebrows or too wiry hair suggests Medorrhinum. Bushy, wiry,
crinkly or unruly hair suggest the sycotic miasm. Sudden access
of hair on limbs suggests Medorrhinum or Thuja.
A single white streak in the hair is often psoric. Early graying
hair suggests Lycopodium (if in spots, Psorinum). Loss of hair in
young people (unless after an acute illness) , especially in patches,
suggests the syphilitic miasm, as does early or irregular graying.
Matted hair – Mezereum, Natrum mur or Psorinum. Easy tangling
suggests Borax, Fluoric acid, Graphites, Psorinum or Zincum.

A Big Pupil
In epilepsy which needs Argentum nitricum, the pupils are dilated
for hours or days before the attack. After the attack the patient
is restless with trembling hands. Epilepsy caused by fright or during
menstruation.

Belly Button
In Dioscorea, colic pain begins in the umbilicus and radiates to
all parts of the body, even extremities.

Diabetes
Lactic Acid is a great remedy for diabetes mellitus. It is especially
indicated if, in addition to the thirst, voracious hunger and profuse
urine loaded with sugar, there are rheumatic pains in the joints.
High potency is much better and doesn’t not need frequent
repetition.

Where’s That Symptom?
In Kent’s Repertory, certain body parts have no chapter
for themselves, but are listed under something else. For instance,
Neck is found under “Throat”, “External Throat”,
“Back-External Throat”. You’ll find Lungs, heart,
breast and milk under “Chest”. Pulse is under “Generalities”.
Lips and Salivary glands are under “Face”.
Here’s another little item: Food desires and aversions are
found under “Stomach”, as is thirst, but aggravation
and amelioration from foods is under “Generals- food”.
