WHEN ONE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY IS JUST NOT ENOUGH. HOMEOPATHY DOSAGE

8/30/2019

Taking more than one remedy in homeopathy. Prescribing and repeating remedies without fear.

I love homeopathy, my work helping people and homeopathic remedies!I can only practice in the way that I do because I trust the remedies and I prescribe  them with confidence. 

Homeopathy dosage is something that many find confusing as there are many ways of prescribing and so many different methodologies.

I feel very confident in my work because I have a bag full of tools that serve my patients. I trust my approach and I am confident in my prescriptions. 

I know what homeopathy can do!

That is why I wanted to talk about something that is really bothering me.

The myths in 
homeopathy!

You will hear it over and over again -
homoeopathy is about  USING THE RIGHT REMEDY- choosing ONE SINGLE REMEDY to clear the symptoms.

Well, let me tell you that as a practitioner if this was the case I would not have a single patient!


when only one homeopathic remedy is not enough

​In 
homeopathy, we have over 3000 remedies alone! It's not easy to choose between those remedies to find the perfect one with a one-hour consultation!
or if you are self prescribing in a severe acute where pain or distress has taken over your senses!

Realistically, do you really think this is possible?

I have a secret to share with you, there is no such thing! and I can tell you that because I have been trained in classical 
homeopathy and I am also a flexible homeopath. I can do both practical and classical, therefore, I can judge which one works best and when to use one or the other or a combination of both. 

I speak by experience, not by dogma.

​HOMEOPATHY AND THE BEAUTY OF DIFFERENT METHODOLOGIES IN PRACTICE. A PRACTICAL CASE.


​Let me tell you what has happened recently. I had a tooth extraction, the second one during the last year :(  and both with infection at the base. 

My first extraction, I went home and I took some Arnica200, Arsenicum+Hypericum 200 and Ruta 200 and that was it! No painkillers or antibiotics needed. Only that.

My second extraction, it was a bit more challenging in terms of remedies.

I started with the same remedies and it really helped but, there was something missing. I still had painful, sore and swollen gums in two small areas. The other remedies just weren't helping! Until I realised that this was where they had put the anaesthetic injection, and I took Ledum 200 for a few doses.

Let me tell you what a relief it was! I slept all night without waking up.

In the morning, I woke up really well with no pain, even I was surprised! But this did not last long. As I become active in my house, I could feel the pain increasing and Arsenicum+Hypericum 200 was not making any difference. The pain was increasing. It was very painful and I thought, well, maybe I should take a painkiller, this would be a reasonable time to do so.

But let me tell you that I do not have a single painkiller in my house! And I was by myself at home that day.

Can you imagine?

Time went by and I started to feel a buildup. I felt it was "unbearable" and that I needed to take something, anything for the pain. 

Do you recognise something here? This is my friend Chamomilla 200- " feels as if they can not bear the pain". So I headed to my remedies and took a few doses of that, every 1/2 hour until manageable. What a relief! And now I felt again in control of the pain.

At that point I understood that this time, for some reason, what it was happening on the second day it was due to inflammation to the area, the pain this time, it was not coming from the bone or the nerve. So I used Bell200 as often as needed and Chamomilla 200 for the pain until the inflammation was down and THAT WAS IT!

I was on those remedies for the second and third day and then they were not needed. I moved to calendula 30 three times per day to help to heal the wound and that was all. If you would like to read more about the remedies I have used for this problem, you can do so by reading my
 blog to dental problems.
​

So do still think that ONE REMEDY would have covered all of that?

How about waiting instead of repeating every 3 hours to avoid infection? would that have been wise?

I can tell you that in this case, all remedies and fast repetition where needed and I would not have been able to manage without any of them!

Had I been scared to repeat, change or alternate remedies I would have probably not managed to stay away from pain or infection and I would have end up with painkillers and antibiotics. FOR SURE.


Picture

​Being flexible and confident in the remedies and not being fearful of repetition made the difference between having to use painkiller, antibiotics or not. 

This is only a small example of how important is to be flexible and how some of the myths that are circulating around are not helpful in practice.

Those myths, are used as dogmas and blind faith in the practitioner, but they do not represent the true nature of homeopathy.

Let me finish this, hoping that I have shown you that certain myths in homeopathy
 do not hold a place in practice.

I hope I have shown you the true power of our remedies, I want you to be empowered to use homeopathy without fear and self prescribe for acute conditions.

If you would like to read more about the remedies I have used for this problem, you can do so by reading my blog to dental problems.

I appreciate you sharing your recent dental experience. It is helpful to see an example of choosing remedies through an acute situation. I am just starting to understand that remedies change as your symptoms change when dealing with something acute. Before I kept thinking if I chose the right remedy it would do the job and I wouldn't need anything else. It also really points out how important it is to know some common remedies. Thank you for the blog post.

I am glad it is useful, I though it could be helpful to others to see the process. The person experiences only "pain" but in reality in a situation like this, the pain is coming from the inflammation, the bone, the trauma to the area and the nerve. Sometimes if you are not sure for trauma and pain, alternating remedies is also a good option. Just try it and you will see it for yourself. Also important ,is the repetition as in a case like this, the intensity of the pain burns the remedies fast...the watch and wait here does not really apply...more likely, use as per needed.

Another interesting experience you are sharing with us.
When you say "So I used Bell200 as often as needed and Chamomilla 200 for the pain until the inflammation was down..."
Did you take these two remedies together or separately? If you took them separately what was the time span between the two?
Thank you

The remedies were taken separetely and it could have been every hour or every half an hour as dictated by the pain. Then spread out as it decreased.

Hi, thank you very much for sharing your information. When you take the remedies separately, how much time in between one remedy to the other do you space them apart by? Also, when you took all these remedies - Arnica200, Arsenicum+Hypericum 200 and Ruta 200 - were they all taken separately or some were taken together? Would you mind sharing at what time intervals you took them all at, please? Thank you once again so very much for sharing your experience.

5 minutes between each remedy is enough if you are taking several remedies.
Those remedies where taken separately except the ones that come with a + which indicates that it is a combination.
The intervals it depends! For Arsenicum + Hypericum 200 every 3 hours to start with is good and the pain ones as often as needed. It just depends on pain, and what the remedy is for. Have a look at my other dental blog post for more detail https://www.villacortahomeopath.com/blog/dental-works

Hi Cristina
I came across your beautiful site when googling ‘best remedies for dry socket’ so I hope you can help! I had a cracked bottom molar out on January 7th with a large abscess underneath and felt pretty traumatised by 1.5 hours of wrenching then developed ‘dry socket’ and my life has been misery for over three weeks: very sore and inflamed side to tongue/gums/jaw/socket but it now looks like a blood clot has finally formed over the dry socket. Still in continuous pain from raw swollen gum area - gum feels grated and tight and there’s also pain in my throat under the jaw so I would really value your thoughts on the best remedies to try as I’m frightened to dislodge the blood clot and am feeling worn-down by the ongoing pain.
Thank you so much 🙏

Hello! I can not advice in individual cases online but have a look at my other blog, there is a section for dry socket there. https://www.villacortahomeopath.com/blog/dental-works

Wondering how you would know if one remedy would not be good because it is an antidote to another? This gets confusing - look at the Materia Medica list or other?

That is a common fear that people have, but it is unfunded. In all of my years of practice, I have never seen a remedy antidote others ( that may surprise you!). Let me give you some room for thought. I have prescribed Camphor as part of a BP alternating with other protocols in the same prescription. The cases improved like any other. When you read about antidotes in the materia medica, many do not understand why they are considered antidotes to a remedy and what an antidote is ( in homeopathic terms). For instance, in your materia medica Arsenicum is an antidote by Hepar S, yet, the Banerjies use Hepar 200 and Arsenicum Album 6c or 200c together in the protocol, and it works, no remedy antidotes each other. What do you think is happening here? Could these remedies be complementing each other or " counteracting any negative action of the other remedy". One remedy follows well the other in terms of moving something from one place to the next? Much to think about!! I hope I have given you a different perspective on what you have learned about "homeopathic antidote remedies". In my experience and through the incredible amount of work of the Banerjies, no remedy can antidote other; it can help move a partial aspect of the previous.

When indicated, is it okay to be taking different potencies of the same remedy? I read one homeopath saying this is not a good practice as it would essentially inactivate the remedy, and another saying that it is fine because the different potencies would work alongside each other to treat different levels of the injury or illness.

Gary, unfortunately you will read a lot of things that are dogmatic in homeopathy and they do not hold in practice. It must be so confusing for all of you! Think that the Banerjies realised that different potencies target different disease process and I found this to be true in practice. I sometimes prescribe two different potencies of the same remedy ( on the same prescription) to cover different aspects of the case, for instance Arsencium 3c for digestion and Arsenicum 200c for skin. I have never seen them inactivate each other.

Great, Cristina. It's true--there is a lot of "must do it this way" to read and find confusing. I've felt resonance with the Banerji approaches, your teachings, and also gently trying things out and seeing where they go. Actually, Arsenicum was the remedy I'd wondered about in this regard especially, with its wide range of different healing properties over the different potencies. Thank you for your explanations :)

Hello Cristina,

I'm dealing with a recent tooth extraction and have been following your blog on it. It's now moved to the place you were at where, after a couple of days, you had severe pain and inflammation set in.

What do you do if you only have a 30c potency of Belladonna and Chamonilla on hand your local health food store doesn't carry it? I could order it online and wait for it to arrive, but this is a "need some relief now" situtation.

Also, I don't think there is any infection, as the dentist said he didn't see any, but would it be wise to take Hepar 6c for a couple of days just to be safe?

Thank you for your response and for this great website! I'm new to homeopathy and haved learned so much already!

Cristina

You will use the 30c in 1/2 glass of water and sip as often as needed. It could be every 15 minutes or every hour or two, depending of the intensity. Reduce frequency as pain decreases.

For a recent tooth extraction that is still healing, Arsen200+Hyper 200 is a better choice for avoiding infection and wound healing.

Hello Christina, my question is if you have a situation where two conditions are needing to be treated at the same time, for example a skin condition is being treated with remedies, then something else comes up such as an injury or dental procedure that I would want to use a remedy or remedies for - is there any special guideline as to a time separation or any other special considerations? Thanks so much.

Cristina

No, you can treat layers or conditions at the same time, that is no problem. I do not wait between taking each remedy, you can take one after the other for the issues that you are treating and that is also what I recommend to my patients.

I wish I had found this earlier! I am still suffering 3 weeks after wisdom tooth extraction. After dry socket it seemed to heal but inflammation gas flared up though I cannot see any pus, I am worried about infection deep in the tissue and sensitive nerves.
Is it too late to start the banjeri protocol, or could mercury/ belladonna 30c work better at a later stage?
Thank you for your blog!

Cristina

Never too late! Please check my blog on dentistry and you will see a few option there. Belladonna 30 is best for inflammation, I would not add any remedy for infection is it is not there although Hepar 30 may be needed to start with but I can not give individual advise!
