| 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 editor@hpathy.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'.

Is it Calc or Aurum?
Calcarea Carbonicum has a very acute depression which
is difficult to distinguish from Aurum. The great contrast
with Aurum, is that you can actually rouse the Calc
carb. Another difference is that Aurum has plenty
of courage. I do not think that Calc carb. patients ever
commit suicide.

Electricitas
Suffers mental torture before and during an electrical storm.
Weeping, timid , fearful. Involuntary laughter, loss of speech,
sleepless for two months. Asthma all one’s life with palpitation
and disposition to faint. Dr. H.C. Allen –Keynotes
of Leading Remedies.
Ammonium Fluoratum – The Fast Lane
They idealize the world of glamour and glitter. They need a large
house and a fast car to steal the show. Possessions are the main
ideal in life to work toward. Inclined to resort to gambling. Craves

Bug Out!
A five year multi-million dollar study on the causes of asthma
in the inner city, found that exposure to roaches was an important
cause of asthma related illnesses and hospitalizations among children
in the U.S. (National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study –reported
in 1997.)
Homeopaths have understood the connection between asthma symptoms
and the roach since 1890. A remedy made from the critter, blatta
orientalis, has been effective for over a hundred years.
Blatta Orientalis – (Indian Cockroach) . Lower potencies
during an (asthma) attack. After the spasm, for the remaining cough,
use the higher. Stop with improvement, to prevent aggravation.
Dr. William Boericke

Vespa Crabro (wasp) - Affections of left ovary, with tenderness,
frequent burning micturation, pain in sacrum extending up back.
Anxiety, low spirited.
Dr. J. H. Clarke
Ants to the Rescue
Formica Rufa (ant) – Rheumatic pain with stiff and
contracted joints. Rheumatism comes on with suddenness and restlessness.
Pains worse from motion, cold, dampness, but better from pressure,
warmth, rubbing. Chronic gout.

Emergency Kit
For acute cardiac failure, most cases require one of four remedies:
Arsenicum album, Antimonium tartaricum, Carbo vegetabilis

Hold the Scalpel!
Baryta Carbonica – Alone it is sufficient to abort
an attack of quinsy (tonsillitis) and with an occasional dose at
long intervals with high potency, to overcome the tendency thereto.
Tonsils suppurate from every cold, smarting pain on swallowing,
worse empty swallowing, can only swallow liquids.

Aneurysm
This disease at an early stage may be kept in check, or reduced

phosphoricum, provided that the iodide of potassium has not
been taken.

Once Burnt
Where a patient tells you he has never been well since a severe
burn, it may have been years ago, give him Causticum. Mind:
despondent, over-sympathetic, conscience stricken as if he had committed
a crime. Worse: Dry cold air, wind, draft, coffee, fat, exertion,
darkness, 3-4 a.m. Better cold drinks, damp weather, warmth of bed.
E.G.Jones, Dr. S.R.Phatak - Thanks to Nancy
Blackwell – U.K.
Prophylaxis
Generally Diptherinum is used as a prophylactic in epidemics
of diphtheria, but it pays to remember that Mercurius Cyanatus
is equally efficient to control the spread this dreadful disease.
Dr. P Rajagopalarao.
Acute Heart Failure
If one finds a patient who has responded up to a point on Carbo
veg., it does not follow that a higher potency of Carbo
veg. will carry on the good work. As a rule it does not, and
it is better to hunt around for a fresh drug to keep up the reaction.
Dr. DM Borland - Thanks to P. Henrik - Denmark
Scorpion Sting
Ledum 200 is a specific for scorpion sting. Repeat every
five minutes till stinging comes down. Also, for all insect bites,
take ledum in a routine way. Apis 30 if there is rapid
swelling after bites.
