HOMEOPATHy FIRST AID KITs

Homeopathic Kits Cristina Villacorta

Many years ago, when I started using homeopathy I wanted to have a set of remedies that I could rely on when my family was ill. I started to build my homeopathic first aid kits around the remedies my family were needing for acute problems and I bought a homeopathy kit with a few remedies in 30c potency.  

The problems with this type of kits is that I found them very limiting.

By experience, I have been in situations when you are running into a difficult acute and to make matters worse, it is night time! You only have a few remedies at hand until the morning...and the remedy you are thinking of is not in the kit! Everyone panics...

When I started to work with the Banerji Protocols and began to build my own strategies, things started to change. Suddenly, I realised that understanding this methodology helped me to cover many more acute issues with a smaller range of remedies but I needed different potencies and combinations to make this work.

​If you look through my blogs, you will see that certain remedies pop over and over. I also use fixed potencies and combinations as I work with the Banerji Protocols. 

These are remedies that serve many uses because they cover the symptoms of the most common health problems. They are what you would call broad-spectrum remedies, and these remedies they are the ones to have!They are scattered around my blogs and you will see them over and over.

Different potencies work better for certain health issues and your kit, should include different potencies.

In here, there are some remedies that I would not want to be without them.

I have designed a very comprehensive homeopathy First Aid Kit that will serve you with many acute problems and it has the post popular and useful remedies for working with the Banerji Protocols on daily basis.

In this blog, I only have a very small sample of a few remedies and its uses but the kit has many more.

I am sure it will be very helpful in your household!
