Another instructive case from the files of Dr. Adolph Lippe MD...

"It was in 1851, on one of those unsurpassably hot mornings that prevail here [Philadelphia] in August, that I was summoned to see a case of cholera at great distance. A Redemptorist Father had been with him during the night, and finding his apparently homœopathic treatment not as successful as he desired, wished further advice. The patient was an emaciated, sharp faced fellow, a tailor, about 50 years old. He had indulged on the previous day for his supper blood-pudding and cucumber salad.

He was taken about 11 P.M. with Asiatic cholera; he still continued to vomit and to be purged with violent cramps at short intervals. All of these cramps and rice-water discharges ceased during that day. The principal remedy had been Arsenicum album; but from that evening till the next evening he continued to vomit, and apparently was sinking from exhaustion.

Thirst was very great; he had to drink large quantities of cold water, and felt better afterwards, till the water became warm in his stomach in from 15 to 20 minutes, and then he had to vomit it up again, to be relieved of this exhausting painful vomiting and thirst by drinking another large quantity of water. A number of remedies administered produced not the slightest relief. The symptom found by the clinical experiment in this case—cold water drank is vomited up as soon as it becomes warm in the stomach—was not to be found in our Materia Medica. But there was found, after a long search, under Phosphorus, in the 5th volume of Hahnemann’s Chronic Diseases, symptom 745, “In the most terrible agonies he vainly tried to vomit; only the drinking of cold water relieved.” Nothing could be found in a search for a similar remedy but this symptom; and now we gave this suffering man one dose of Phosphorus 19 M, about 9 P.M., with the order to repeat it every two hours till he was relieved.

On the next morning we found that he had been given no more than this solitary dose, and that he was rapidly improving. He recovered without needing any more medicine."

Researchers in the U.K. researched outcomes from homeopathic prescribing in veterinary practice in a prospective, research-targeted, pilot study.

Practitioners submitted data regularly and punctually, and most data cells were completed. 767 individual patients were treated (547 dogs, 155 cats, 50 horses, 5 rabbits, 4 guinea-pigs, 2 birds, 2 goats, 1 cow, and 1 tortoise). Outcome from two or more homeopathic appointments per patient condition was obtained in 539 cases (79.8% showing improvement, 6.1% deterioration, 11.7% no change; outcome not recorded in 2.4% of follow-ups). Strongly positive outcomes (scores of +2 or +3) were achieved in: arthritis and epilepsy in dogs and, in smaller numbers, in atopic dermatitis, gingivitis and hyperthyroidism in cats.

Blocked sinuses got you down?
See my latest blog post https://www.duriehomeopathy.com/single-post/blocked-sinuses-two-homeopathic-remedies-to-consider

Hydrastis canadensis and Kali bichromicum — two homeopathic remedies I’ve used with clients for sinus congestion.

🌿 Hydrastis (Hydr)
Best when you have fullness of sinuses and thick, ropy yellow discharge. Known for post-nasal drip. Lingering mucus after a cold.

🌿 Kali bichromicum (Kali‑bi)
Helpful when there’s pain or pressure in the face/sinuses along with thick, sticky discharge. Great when sinus fullness leads to discomfort.

✨Simple Practices to Support Sinus Relief

✔️ Stay well hydrated (helps thin mucus)

✔️ Use a humidifier (moisture = comfort)

✔️ Try gentle nasal irrigation (saline rinse, check our Xlear!)

✔️ Reduce allergen exposure (mold, pollen, dust)

Do you have blocked sinuses from a sinus infection, chronic congestion, allergies or a cold? Have you considered homeopathy?

I know all of you think, " I know this remedy too well; I don't need a reminder of what I can do with it". But did you know that ARNICA is also a good remedy for SLEEPLESSNESS that stems from physical overexertion?

This is because one of the affinities of Arnica is the muscles and injuries. So anything that can produce this state can respond well to Arnica.

You may think that you know this situation well, but it is so easy to overlook simplicity! So many new remedies look fascinating; why look at an old, basic remedy? This is a common scenario that I sometimes see in my practice when a patient books an acute.

They overlook the obvious because it looks too simple or has taken a couple of doses of Arnica, and not much has happened. Then, they start to look for a "specific remedy for them". Often, a couple of doses of Arnica here and there is much less than the intensity of the injury and, as a result, cannot produce much change. Physical symptoms intensify, and we now think something else must be going on! By the end of the week, you are suffering from sleeplessness, and you have forgotten about Arnica here.

Let's see some of the situations that could produce sleeplessness at night from overexertion:

- you have gone on a hike, and your muscles are sore and achy. You keep waking up at night for the week after.
- You have gone to the gym and have done a few more lifts than you should
-you have run a marathon or played a 24 hours tournament, and your body is recovering. You wake up at night with aching limbs and feel as if " the bed is too hard."
- you have worked so hard on your garden, planting flowers or vegetables, and you feel overtired
- have been swimming for an extended period of time during your holidays
-if you have been with your grandchildren all day and they have worn you out!
-if you have been spring cleaning your house
-after a house move
- after weeding around your home

Remember Arnica, if you have done any of these activities and have problems waking up at night, often feeling restless after a few days.

BELLIS PERENNIS- also known as Common Daisy.
As you are probably aware by now, the study of Materia Medica of each remedy is drawn from many different sources, including the physical properties of the original substance.

In this case, the common Daisy is often referred to as "Bruisewort". This name is given to a plant that is supposed to heal bruises.

Bellis is complementary to Arnica and follows well after. It is the remedy that follows well for deeper tissue.

Bellis is a very important remedy for women and one to remember. It is particularly important for lumps on the breast that appear after a blow or injury.

Sun stroke: it can be a serious medical issue, Symptoms can develop from prolonged exposure to the sun and particularly from physical exertion in high temperatures. Symptoms can include: headaches, dizziness, nausea and exhaustion. Emergency care should be sought in such cases especially if there is an accelerated heartbeat and heavy breathing.

While waiting for emergency care to arrive, try to help someone by taking them out of the sun and into shaded cooler areas. You can help by applying cool water to the person’s body and fanning them (all in an effort to bring down their core body temperature).

Some homeopathic remedies that could be helpful while emergency care is on their way:
