Apparently...There is a biological phrase for mother’s like me...😂
My Gen Z boys call it ‘cortisol-maxxing’.
It is not, “don’t stress mom”, it’s “mom, you are cortisol-maxxing again?”
As a mother of boys, there is this other thing that comes up when they grow up when you have raised them ‘medication-free’.
You are no longer the one making their health decisions. Will they use the medicine they were raised with when/if they have children? Will they just forget it all, or be influenced by someone else?
Those younger years, if there was not a fever, there was an injury. If there was not an injury, there was a “I swallowed a coin, will it grow a money tree?” Followed by stomach cramping the next day.
I always reached out for the tinctures, the homeopathic remedies, the iodine paste, and, of course, the local A&E trip when urgent, because jumping from the top bunk bed, thinking you are Batman, is serious ‘cortisol-maxxing’ for mom.
Then, they grew up. The last two weeks, we have had a few incidents. My older manchild called me after seeing the emergency dentist:
“I have an infected wisdom tooth. He cleaned it out but says I need antibiotics and it is 75% erupted, but it is so painful now, he scraped it”
“What remedy should I take? He suggested antibiotics, but I prefer a remdy, shall I take belladonna?”
He has never taken an antibiotic in his life, or any other medication apart from a general anaesthetic.
So, he used Hypericum & Calendula mother tincture: A few drops diluted in water as a mouth rinse.
And Hecla lava remedy over the next 3-5 days. Within around 24 hours, his pain and symptoms had settled.
And another 24 hrs, the pain AND infection had cleared.
If you are new to this page, WELCOME...and keep reading..
Not new? Have you used Hecla Lava?
Then our furry four legged boy, started limping and his right front leg looked slightly swollen and he seemed to be slowing down.
A trip to the vet revealed he had a slightly high temperature and possibly a puncture wound. She gave him an injection of a painkiller and an antibiotic and some oral antibiotics to take home.
Once home, out came the book
and homeopathic remedies:
- Ledum
- Silica
- War
Within 48 hrs, no more limping, no more swelling. I would have stuck with the first two remedies, but I'm still not 100% confident about remedies for our four-legged family member. I thought puncture and maybe a grass seed stuck somewhere so silica...and potential systemic infection developing WAR. 🤓
Antibiotics envelope not even opened. Microbiome happy too!
