This title is a play on words because before the 1940’s the main therapy for healing was homeopathy. It was developed in the 1796 and for over 140 years it was widely used for all symptoms. Once the pharmaceutical industry was developed by the Rockefeller Foundation, homeopathy was discarded and invalidated. But, for those seeking natural options while avoiding side-effects, homeopathy is a great choice. Homeopathic items are significantly less expensive than medications and are only taken until the symptom is resolved. Here are some guidelines that help provide quicker and more effective results while taking these little gems.
Solutions that come from nature including homeopathy, herbal medicines and even food, not only bring nutrients to help the body heal, they also hold an energetic quality. Just as sound, color and even our cell phone numbers all vibrate at particular frequencies, so do natural remedies. Homeopathic medicine is best described as frequency medicine. The strength of homeopathic frequencies are measured by how diluted they are. The more diluted a remedy, the stronger it is on the body.
For instance, a remedy diluted 10 times has a strength of “10x”. A remedy diluted 100 times is called “1c”. Think of ‘c’ as a century, 100 years of course. A remedy diluted 1,000 times is called “1M”. Think of ‘M’ as a millennia, 1,000 years equaling 1,000 dilutions. Water carries a charge with less impedance than any other substance, even air. The best example of this is dropping an electrical device in water. The fatal charge of an electrical cord is carried immediately because water carries currents faster than any other substance. This is the basic premise for how homeopathy works. You and I have been entrenched in the belief that a chemical, and the quantity of that chemical, is what helps the body heal. Homeopathy is using the currents of natural elements and making them more potent. Remedies with an ‘x’ strength are considered weaker and work on a more local and physical level. As the numbers increase in the “c” strength category, they can have a more global effect on the body and effect us on an emotional level as well. The “M” strengths are extremely potent and used on very deep emotional levels and personality tendencies referred to as one’s ‘constitution’. These options are almost exclusively prescribed by Doctors of Homeopathy.
Fortunately the ‘x’ and ‘c’ strengths are available to all practitioners and the public because they are so safe. Just by placing the remedy on the tongue, the current of that healing substance is transmitted to every cell in the body via the water we are made of. The therapeutic effects of that remedy will continue to work on the body as long as the item is in the mouth. This is why holding a homeopathic medicine, such as a liquid, should be maintained under the tongue for 30-seconds or longer. Pellets serve us well because they take extra time to dissolve and penetrate the mucus membranes. For this reason, someone who has a compromised digestive system never needs to have concerns about absorption. Pharmaceutical drugs often require digestion to occur in order to adequately absorb them, which may lead to higher dosing and potential side-effects. With homeopathy none of these concerns exist.
The challenge with using our natural options, is you have to plan wisely. You must have a clean mouth, free of mint, toothpaste and coffee when you take homeopathics. It’s best to avoid eating or drinking for 15-30 minutes after taking one, to let them do their jobs for as long as possible. If any of these lingering tastes are in the mouth at the time of use, or soon thereafter, the remedies will be neutralized immediately and rendered useless. Avoid smoking and taking other homeopathics during that same 15-30 minute window is also a necessity. These gentle healers are very sensitive to the environment of the mouth. Luckily this rule only applies to what is in the mouth. Having a full or empty stomach is irrelevant.
One of the fail-safes that I consider advantageous is that you never have to worry about overdosing on frequency medicine options. When we take a diluted item like a 30c homeopathic strength, if we take 2 or 10 or the whole bottle, we are still taking the same energetic frequency. You cannot overdose. A rough analogy is shining a small flashlight of a particular color into your eyes, let’s say red. Whether you are exposed to a small flashligh or in a 1,000 square foot room of red light of the same brightness, the impact on the body is the same. The quantity has no impact. As with homeopathy, how often you expose your eyes to red light, makes the impact. There are limits to how often you want to shine the red light into your eyes. And there are different effects from shining different colors into the eyes. Homeopathy works exactly the same. Take the whole bottle at once, it’s considered one dose. Take one pellet, it’s one dose.
Another rule-of-thumb is never touch the remedies with your hands or metal.. Fingers and metal utensils with quickly interfere and discharge their energetic qualities. Always put the pellets or liquid into the cap of the bottle and pour it into your mouth directly. Touching them to anything else may negate its affect entirely.
The nice thing about homeopathic options is that they don’t expire. Once the symptom is gone you can discontinue the remedy and put it on a shelf. Conside making notes on your remedies to remind you why and how to use them later. Keeping these little bottles in a dry, cool place away from electricity and Wi=Fi routers will maintain their strength until needed in the future by you or someone you love.
I’ll say it again, Homeopathy Rules!
