Homeopathic Medicine – A Brief Understanding
Homeopathic Medicine – A Brief Understanding
Homeopathic Medicine for Beginners: Video Overview
In this introductory discussion of homeopathic medicine for beginners, Amandha Vollmer (ADV) shares her personal path into homeopathy and explains the ideas she uses when choosing and understanding remedies. Beginning with an experience involving her cat and Apis mellifica, she describes why the encounter led her to study homeopathy more deeply, including coursework, naturopathic training, study in India, and extensive reading of homeopathic materia medica.
Amandha then presents her understanding of provings, dilution, succussion, potency, individualized prescribing, resonance, and the concept of the simillimum. She also discusses water-memory and submolecular explanations that she believes help describe homeopathic action. These proposed mechanisms and therapeutic claims reflect Amandha’s interpretation and experience; they are not presented here as established scientific mechanisms or proven treatments.
The practical portion introduces remedies she considers useful for a home first-aid kit, including Sulfur, Arnica, Apis mellifica, Aconitum, Carbo vegetabilis, Belladonna, Drosera, Ferrum phosphoricum, Kali bichromicum, Pulsatilla, Nux vomica, Rhus toxicodendron, and Silica. She also discusses different potencies, constitutional prescribing, and when she prefers professional homeopathic guidance.

Introduction: A Brief Understanding of Homeopathic Medicine
Amandha: But I really just wanted to touch on homeopathic medicine. I’ve been thinking about it a lot and a lot of people are asking me questions and I listen to things like this when a lot of people are asking me similar things. I like to do a theme or I feel a theme is forming and then it means to me it’s a sign. That’s how I read, that’s how I hear God. I go, okay, do this. So, I go forward and I do it. So, so, I just closed the store late. I had a customer in here too late. So I’m a little bit behind on what I wanted to do, but what I’m gonna try to help you with is just understand a little bit of the theory of it or how it’s working so that you have just a a baseline on that.
Amandha: And then I wanna show you, I’m gonna walk through some of the homeopathic remedies that I carry and regularly that you could have in your life, like you could have in your home and you can use for certain things that are common, like common ailments that may come up. So yeah, I just want to. Give it like a primer for you. This is by no means this is like the tip of the tip. This is a drop of water on like, the most massive iceberg ever of medicine. So I am only trying to help the lay person get a grasp of it. Really. Right? Because when someone comes in, they see these little pellets, you know, on my shelf. Right? So this is a sorry.
Amandha: Might be too bright, but that’s a homeopathic remedy called Gelsemium, and it’s got a number and it’s by Unda and their little pellets like, what is this stuff, right? Oh, it’s just sugar. It’s just bull crap. There’s like industries and just bull crap, right? So they they don’t know what it is about. And frankly, before I started studying this decades ago, I had no clue too. I thought people who took homeopathy were like in Lulu land like they’re just taking sugar and it makes their head feel better. Like it makes them feel like they’re taking something and that’s what makes the illness go away.
A Personal Introduction to Homeopathy: The Apis Experience
Amandha: I thought like everybody else thinks that is just placebo. And then I started to learn about it when I was training to be a veterinarian and I saw literal miracles happen, like things before my eyes. I was working at a naturopathic clinic. He’s a naturopath and a vet and like brilliant guy. And one day I was home and my cat got bit on the face, but I don’t know, something. I didn’t witness the bite, but it was like a wasp or a bee sting. And her whole eye was just like huge and starting to distort and I freaked out. So I was close to the clinic. I got on my bike and I rode over and I said to his wife also a ma amazing veterinarian and holistic practitioner.
Amandha: He said, what do I do? What do I do? She’s like, casually, like, just go in the drawer and pull out and grab the Apis mellifica. Grab a 30 and go and give it to the cat orally, and then just wait and watch. And if the swelling isn’t completely gone within 10, 15 minutes, give a second. And that’s what she said in my head. I’m going, yeah, okay, whatever, I’ll go do that then. But I was in a panic and that’s what I went to do, right? So, lo and behold, I have the cat on a chair. I just shove some pellets into her little mouth and I’m like petting her and calming her. She seems okay. I’m the freaked out one and I start blinking and I’m like, what?
Amandha: What’s happening here? And her eye is shrinking, like literally in front of my own eyes, and I’m like going, this can’t be actually happening. Is this really happening? And it’s going down and down and down. And it was exactly like she said. Within about 15 minutes, it looked like it stopped progressing. So I just popped a few more of the pellets into her mouth, and it was gone within another 10, 15 minutes as if nothing had occurred okay. So that was my first awakening, if you will, to homeopathic medicine. That was my aha. Like this is powerful. This is actual medicine. This can’t be placebo cause my cat has no concept of tricking oneself into healing the body like, right?
Amandha: So I went, okay, I’ve gotta get into this. So I began to study it. This is before I went to Naturopathic College, So I actually did a correspondence course with the British Institute of Homeopathy. They’ve renamed themselves now, and it was all on animal medicine, all on animal homeopathy. So I did a whole study of that and it’s applied a little bit different, but this works great for animals, excellent for animals, and pretty easy to administer as well.
Study, Homeopathic Literature, and Amandha’s Training
Amandha: So I, that was the first kind of background and experience. And then I read everything. Obviously homeopathy is like, you know, gotta be just a joke. Cuz they wouldn’t have like books like this or like the science of homeopathy. They wouldn’t have. Books like this, right? I mean, this is a cool book. This is the poetry of homeopathy because to remember all these thousands of remedies, you need mnemonics, you need like ways to remember them. So there’s even poetry books. This is one of my favorites. I met Asa at a conference one time in, in So that’s a great one. Just for musculoskeletal medicine. A whole book just on musculoskeletal healing.
Amandha: You know what it, okay. And then there’s prisma. Ugh. Yeah, it’s just gotta be a sham. You know what isn’t here? They just go, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Must be a hoax, right? They’re just like, blah, blah. And there, and like desktop guide. These are great books. Roger Morrison., there’s a blue book, this one, which is like common remedies. And then there’s the red book, which is assigned via ailments like, so abdominal pains, what I opened up to, right? Yep. Just blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. So there’s that homeopathic dictionary. You need a dictionary just for the lingo of what all this stuff is. And then there’s books that are ancient because this is an ancient medicine and like laboratories like this, Kent has, you know, here’s a Hahnemann’s material medic, one of several volumes.
Amandha: Okay, I’m showing you books cause I have a library full of this stuff. This is nothing. These are the things that one has. If you’re going to do this as like, as a system of medicine. You need to study it. I mean, study study. So I have studied it. I went to India twice to study it. I studied under Rajan Sankaran. He’s like incredible. When you go into these conferences, there’s no doubt they’re showing you case after case. Endless cases of cures. Of cures to every type of valent. So I mean, so let’s just get it off the table that it’s some kind of hoax or some kind of placebo or some kind of,
Homeopathy as a Different System of Medicine
Amandha: It’s real medicine. It’s just not a system of medicine that you’re familiar with Because the elite, oligarchy, maniacs that rule us, they don’t want this medicine because it’s cheap. It’s non patentable. It’s easy. Everyone can do it. And nobody needs to go see their little quacks in the white coats, right? They don’t make money that way. So we know there’s an attack on holistic medicine that’s been going on forever if you research homeopathic, in Britain, in the States, in Canada, there were homeopathic hospitals. Hospitals, homeopathic hospitals. Call that with the name, homeopathy in the title. Okay. This is, was destroyed by the American Medical Association. They were formed to destroy the American homeopathic association on purpose. On purpose. This is what you’re dealing with You’re dealing with maniacs who have a power control agenda they don’t want this. So it’s our duty to educate ourselves and to bring it into our reality and to learn about it, because this is how you fight evil.
Amandha: It’s with all of us. It’s with all of everyone knowing it, and everyone’s saying, you know, to some idiot says, let’s placebo, ba saying Actually, sir it’s not, and you need to get., here’s a book, or here’s some, you know, other information cause you’re talking outta your rear end, you know? So also I want you to learn how to practice it and how to use it like you can save lives. I mean, don’t need to go and drug your baby with Tylenol. You don’t need to put their lives at risk using Tylenol, which kills babies you can use homeopathic remedy, and the worst thing that’s gonna happen is it doesn’t work, is the wrong remedy. Okay? I mean, you can do harm with homeopathy, but you have to be really going after that.
Amandha: Like you have to be really malicious and know that this remedy is like gonna hurt that person in this high dose and like, like, no, you can’t hurt someone with homeopathics like that. You could prove it. You can prove it by taking too much of it. That’s probably the biggest. You could just keep taking a remedy over and over and over and then you prove it.
Provings, Potentization, Succussion, and Submolecular Theory
Amandha: And that’s how they do provings. By the way. That’s how they find out how these remedies actually work. They have a bunch of people get together and they have a proving party and they all take the remedy and enough that they start to prove it and then they mark their dreams and their sensations and things that happen physically and all this kind of stuff. This is how they know all these books are filled with different provings. Okay, so now I wanna talk about just the science of. My theory, which is an educated theory, which is a studied theory, which is based on actual science and science is observation. It’s educated observation. It’s you looking at something and seeing it again and again from your reality.
Amandha: Okay. And then you’re bringing that into an experimental mode and it’s repeatable. Okay. And so, so homeopathy does follow science Problem with homeopathy is that the level of science that’s that is used upon it by the mainstream is wrong. So they’re always gonna prove it or it’s never gonna work out the way they want it to because it’s individual medicine, you’re. with a completely different system. Okay? So, so when you’re different, like dealing with a drug, a molecular drug, or even a botanical medicine, which is molecular, okay, you’re giving them something that’s gonna have an effect on the body, okay? On the molecules of the body. So it’s going to have a metabolic effect. It’s gonna affect the liver and the kidneys in a very specific way. You’re gonna be able to remove blood and you could even test, like you could find it in the blood. You could it’s measurable in that., that’s a system of medicine. Okay. Homeopathic medicine is a different system. Okay. It’s submolecular.
Amandha: It’s working on a different level of the body and it’s dealing with it in a holistic way. So, say we have a kidney deficiency, right? In the modern medical model, that’s a separate system that you target; you give a medication that’s pushing the kidneys to do an action in a certain direction. And even for the most part, botanicals can be like that, right? It’s very system-based or system-focused. I try to practice a bit differently, using it holistically for that person if I can. But it’s very handy, you know, if you need to do something immediately; botanicals, for example, work very well. Okay. So that’s one system, but the homeopathic way is subtle and submolecular. And what am I saying? Submolecular. If you know what submolecular particles are, they’re called quarks. And so there’s an electricity, essentially, inside the molecules; there’s another layer, right? So that’s basically what’s happening on an electrical level.
Amandha: And so you have, say, two quarks facing up and one quark facing down, and homeopathic will affect the way they’re flipping inside. Have you ever seen a drum affect water? You know how you have water patterns and you have a drum—put water on a base and it’ll make a really specific pattern in it—and now do that subtler and subtler, or just do it with frequency. You see patterns inside the water. Think of it more like that. And it’s affecting the waters in our body, so it’s subtler. Okay. Now, even though it’s subtle, meaning it’s submolecular, meaning it’s affecting quarks, meaning it’s like nanomedicine or it’s a small particulate, or it’s energy.
Amandha: You can call electricity energy. Right. Right. Now you’re seeing me in electric, in electricity. I’m on the screen in electricity. Okay. It’s real. It’s in the body. It’s real. Okay. It’s being affected now by the homeopathic prescription. Okay. So if you think of it in that regard, then you can get out of the stuck thinking that a lot of the mainstream crap that tries to sell us their propaganda and their lies and damage this beautiful, elegant, ancient medicine that works, you can just throw that to the side.
Water, Resonance, and Amandha’s Explanation of Homeopathic Action
Amandha: Okay? And they say, Hey, well, talk to me about Submolecular Electrical medicine. What do you know about that? What do you know about how intention when you put intention upon water, what it does to it? Do you know who Dr. Emoto?, do you not? Do you know who Ben VTE is? He did that in the lab. Do you know this other Russian research? Who researcher El get his name? Oh, I closed it down, but I’ll post it later. There’s more research done on water, having memory. So, so our intention, our words of vibration changes the pattern of water, and that can be measured again and again. So, Dr. Emoto, I did bring books somewhere here I’ll show you. I was blessed to meet him before he died quite a few years before actually have a beautiful, one of his books.
Amandha: Is this, the Hidden Messages and Water? Actually, this is a signed copy from. Look, Amanda son. I’m Amanda son. And so what he did, which was brilliant, is he took water from all different sources and he started to freeze it, and then he photographed. The crystallizing of the patterns of the water as it froze. And they all had unique crystal patterns. So he’s was like, wow, well, let’s do other experiments. Let’s tell water that it’s ugly and we hate it, and let’s see what it does when we try to crystallize it. Or let’s tell water we love it and it’s beautiful, or thank water, and then let’s see what that crystal pattern does. Right? And he documented everything. It’s all in the Down right to the letter. It’s very well documented. Everything was done very finely by his research team. This is the other one. It’s called Love Thyself, messages and Winner. I got stuff in there so you know, even made one for kids. Beautiful book for kids.
Amandha: Even give that for free. The real people do a lot of this stuff for free. Okay., you know, trust me, we’ll have to make a dime, but I’m just., you know, the intention is different. The intention with the goodhearted ones are different, right? So this one’s happiness. Look how beautiful that crystal is. So that’s the water vile that they used here, and that’s the crystal pattern that was formed. Okay, so, so you can look up Dr. Emoto’s stuff. There’s other researchers who have done the same thing. The whole point is homeopathic remedies are prepared in water. Any type of anything can become a homeopathic remedy. I could take my own skin cells and scrape off skin cells and put ’em in water, and then I can succuss it, which is banging it on like a leather bound book is the old-fashioned way of doing it.
Amandha: Take a Bible out and just start to get it done. and then it’ll transfer that into the water, meaning that the water surrounds the particles that are put in it, which is called the mother tincture. And it will surround it in an in a tet. So usually it’s about 10, they’ve noticed 10 water molecules will establish themselves around the molecules after. being succussed. See a lot of people who attack homeopathy, they do this like magic trick where like, here’s the substance in water, and like, here’s a thing of water, just plain. And then we just take this little bit out and we just put it in that water and then that’s supposed to be like more powerful than this.
Amandha: This is so stupid. And they’re, you know, missing the huge part of that, which is called potentization. It’s through succussion. It’s not just dilution; it’s succussion and dilution. Maybe go look up the word succussion. You might not even know what that means. Okay, so succussion is what’s actually vibrating. You can do this hundreds of times, and the water is being shaken within that solution and it’ll hold the signature of that substance. So then when you take that water out, put it in another dilution, and you do the same thing, you’re invigorating the water with the same energy signature that you’ve just done to the first, the second, the third.
Amandha: And if you’ve ever started sacred geometry or looked at any fractals, it’s almost like you’re making a fractal with homeopathic remedies and the tighter and more elaborate and more in depth, you go down this di dilution concussion pathway. Yes. The more potent the remedy becomes. Is it stronger? That, again, is coming all in the wrong paradigm of even understanding strong versus weak, black versus white. Let’s get into the quantum understanding of things here, guys, as we’re talking on a different level of energy. Okay? Yeah. It’s just different. So, so the, the vibration of that is gonna be different than the where you started from.
Amandha: And if you apply that vibration to a patient that matches that intensity of vibration, then you will get a, what’s called the simil. Which is a like, like energy and you will get a harmonic. Anyone know about harmonics? Anyone ever like maybe strum a guitar in the same room with another guitar at tuned the same and just cause you’re strumming that guitar starts going off harmonics. Okay? They one tunes the other. That’s what you’re doing when you’re taking homeopathics. Okay? You’re tuning, you’re retuning yourself. Like literally now, what is that gonna do to the body? Think about it. You are adding resonance of a type inside your body, into the waters of your body. The waters of your body will be altered, and then when the waters are altered, the communication systems of your body, the intricate cellular talk back feedback will be affected.
Individualized Remedy Selection, Sulfur, and Hahnemann
Amandha: Okay, positive. Positively, or it’s not strong enough, or it’s not the right remedy, or it’s not the right frequency, or it’s not the right fractal to have the effect. So it’s hit and miss, you see. So when I have someone come into my store or the clinic and they’re like, I have let’s do an actual example. I have I have a child with very itchy skin, dry scaly skin. Oh, okay. Tell me more about the child. Tell me more about the personality. Oh, very. Doesn’t like to bathe, hates bathing. Okay. Tell me about sleep. How’s sleep? Anything patterned with the Oh yeah. Loves to stick his feet out when sleeping out of the blanket.
Amandha: Very gasti and the personality is quite quite that sanguine or something like this. Okay. So I’ll get as much information as I can because I’m trying to hone in on a remedy which is taken in a holistic. So we look at dreams, mind, personality, right? The delusions that one carries and everyone carries delusions, stress me. The physical body stuff is just one part of it. One part of it, you see, because we’re trying to match a resonance. we’re trying to harmonize with a remedy that carries a certain signature. So you see how that’s a very different system of medicine, that you can’t just compare it like apples to oranges or whatever, you know, like apples to apples.
Amandha: Like, it just doesn’t, it’s just not the same thinking. We have to get out of this really base only physical ideology that has been just pushed on us and pushed on us that the pills are the solution. Like the drugs are the solution. They’re not the They just destroy the elegance of the body. The body’s brilliant. It knows what to do. Help it, give it what it needs, give it that little bit of push or give it that little bit of offering. It’s an offering, right? It’s like saying, Hey, do you need this? Like, is this cool? Like, do you want., do you want this? Because this could maybe like help you out cause I know you’re like really smart and you’re really trying to figure this out and I probably just poison you like for most of my life, and I’m really sorry, but maybe you wanna try this out and help me along here, so, okay.
Amandha: Alright. So that, in that case I just talked about is homeopathic sulfur is it, is what? In the books, if I were to look up sulfur, I would read those characteristics in the provings of. Which do I have it on my shelf? Yes I do. So this is Sulfur. Okay. There’s my doggy. Hi, Lucy. Getting Famous, Lucy. Okay, so there’s that. So let’s, sulfur should be one, would be one I would have on hand because it also is great for gut pain. Those, the Rotten Egg gas smell the, they’re the special kind of farts that you’re, Y I’m divorcing You kind of farts. Yeah, that’s sulfur egg farts., they smell like rotten eggs.
Amandha: That’s the same, right? Because sulfur has that garlicky egg smell to it. Right. So that’s the like-cures-like idea, where you’re matching some of these things. How they even found out about this—or Hahnemann did, and I would say predecessors before him—but he was the modern doctor who brought it to light. And his book, the Organon, everyone should read because he’s so boisterous about the AMA. He’s just like, these freaking quacks are destroying us. He’s just very vocal politically, which I really appreciate, because I’m a lot like that. Okay. So, what was I saying? We were talking about sulfur, we were talking about the AMA and Samuel Hahnemann.
Amandha: Oh, yeah. Bringing it up. Okay. So how he found out about it is he had there was a case of malaria. and there’s the remedy that healed malaria was trying, it was called Cinchona, and he gave it in a super small dose and it helped the patient. And so he started to go, well wonder how small I can kind of go with the doses and how it just sort of came from that kind of cure, curing, just, and he just had a curious mind and he started to, you know, these were poisons that he was using to try to heal. I mean, they were using lots of stuff back in the day, like Mercury and all this kind of crazy stuff. And so he was like, well, what if I dilute super, super little and maybe it’ll still have an medicinal effect that it won’t kill my patient.
Amandha: Right? And yeah, I think it was Cinchona was the one for malaria. So it was a malaria case that he cured and it went from there sort of thing. And I’m really super summarizing sorry cause I’m running it low on time and I wanna get through the remedies here. Now I’m a bit feeling a bit panicked. I gotta pick up my daughter, so I gotta a race. But anyway so, so some of the remedies that I would suggest that you have on hand and I am gonna do, I haven’t for a while, really wanting to do like, Homeopathic series just to really teach like what ones for what ailments and what conditions so that you can have your own like first aid kit.
Potency Basics, Arnica, Apis, and Aconite
Amandha: I would suggest everyone have a homeopathic first-aid kit. It saves me so many times. I mean, your basic baseline is Arnica. Arnica is a no-brainer. Almost everybody even knows about Arnica at this point. So that’s Arnica montana; it’s a 30CH. I like the 30s. Let’s talk about numbers for a second. I like the 30s because it seems to touch on a physical level and a whole-body level, so it’s a nice gateway. If I’m not sure which potency to use, 30 is kind of a good midway. If it’s more mental, emotional in nature or anxious, there’s an anxious quality to it, or it’s older, I use a 200CH. If it’s really acute, really sudden, really now, I go lower. Or if it’s really super physical or only really presenting physically, I go 6 or 12 with those, or 30, but you can go lower.
Amandha: And then when it’s old and delusional, I do like Sankaran’s methods, which are more what I’m following here. If it’s like a delusional aspect to it, I go into the 1Ms—the real higher stuff, the real stuff of the mind. But for the most part, for you shopping out there and getting it, just stick with 30s and you’ll be okay for that. You don’t have to think too hard on it. So Arnica: everyone should have Arnica for bruising, contusions. So if you fall and hurt yourself—bang, right?—you’re gonna get a bruise. What’s a bruise? A bruise is bleeding under the skin. This stops bleeding under the skin. Can you imagine those people who, like, they’re skiing and they fall and they hit their head and they don’t know it, but they have a hematoma, a subdural hematoma, which can kill them growing under the surface?
Amandha: If they just took Arnica on a regular basis, they could stop that bleeding. That’s quite a profound thing. That’s something that even the medical model should admit. But see, they don’t wanna admit it. They don’t wanna admit it. It’s against them to admit these things, right, for the most part. Now I know there’s some changes in functional medicine that’s coming around. Maybe if they stopped killing them all, that’d be pretty cool. Like, please stop killing our holistic practitioners. Please. Anyway, I’m not gonna digress on that topic. Okay, so here’s the famous one with my cat, Apis. Here we go. So Apis mellifica is actual bee; it’s actual honeybee in here. Yeah. They take the body of the bee, a naturally deceased bee, and that’s what they make it from. And I’ve had the most amazing healings from Apis, story after story. I had a woman who actually came into my clinic looking like a freaking bee, acting like a bee, and even telling me that she is busy.
Amandha: That’s how she was actually presenting herself. And not a joke, she said busy like she was buzzing like an actual bee. Like, here you go, take that. And she came back the next time a totally different person: healed, calm, not dressed like a bee in yellow and black. All right, so Apis is another one for, obviously, bee stings. Any type of sting, mosquito bites, anything that’s hot, red, raised, itchy. Just think about it. Think what it would do in nature, and then think, oh, do I have that thing? Then that’s the best remedy for it, right? Like my cat with the eye. It was just a big, huge swelling. And that’s what Apis helps a lot with.
Amandha: Now, on an energy level, a bit higher than that. It’s for what? What do bees do? They work. They work all day, they collect pollen. They’re out in the world. They’re like go. They don’t rest. You know? They’ll work till they’re dead. So that’s the type of personality you often see for the Apis personality type. Okay. So then we have Aconite so this is another one for your first aid kit. So you have, this one is a 12th because Aconite is the one for sudden shock. Car accidents something horrible happens and you’re a witness to it and you’ve absorbed that as a shock. Now can be even used for old shocks, but I’d go a little bit higher in the potency for that, I’d go probably a 200.
Amandha: If it’s an old shock, like a posttraumatic-stress kind of shock, it’s great for that. So, Aconite. It’s nervous-system support. Think about that. Think shock is a shock to the nervous system, right? Your brain. And it will help with trigeminal nerve problems in the face, paralysis, palsies, even sciatic nerve pain. So nervous system, nerve pain, shocks, traumas—that’s the one to have on hand for that. Okay, so that’s that one. How am I doing for time? Woo. You got 10 minutes? No. Sorry, I’m not even looking at comments. I can’t. Okay, let’s do my next favorite, Carbo veg—Carbo vegetabilis. It’s for real gas.
Carbo Veg, Belladonna, Drosera, Ferrum Phos, and Kali Bichromicum
Amandha: They’re bloated; they’re not digesting well. Carbo vegetabilis is homeopathic activated charcoal. You can just as well take activated charcoal if you’ve eaten something questionable, something where you’ve eaten fruit on top of, like, a heavy meal, which is the worst thing you can do for your digestive system because fruit digests super fast. Vegetables, meat, whatever else you’ve eaten, digest super slow, like carbs, and then this ferments on top, creates gas while you’re digesting the slow stuff, and then you’re just a big farty mess. So don’t do that. Eat your fruits first or away from other foods, and you won’t be as gassy. That’s one thing I tell people.
Amandha: The other is, carry Carbo veg with you. So if you have IBS, you’re out, you ate something, you drank something, whatever. Or maybe the IBS is very nervous in the gut when you’re out; you kind of hold tight, too tight, your muscles in the gut and that whole pattern of inflammation and constipation and stuff. So that’s a good remedy to have for upset tummy when your child says, my tummy hurts, and they’re a bit gassy and maybe they haven’t gone to the washroom in a little while. Carbo veg. Okay. Oh gosh, there’s so many. Belladonna is a great one. Belladonna is good for certain ear infections where they’re very hot. It’s a very violent energy coming off of them. Their pupils are often dilated.
Amandha: They might be dizzy. Their ears might be bright red. They’re just very hot—red face, real bright red color, super-high fevers. That’s Belladonna. Drosera, this one—30CH again—that one’s for the good old dry cough, real chesty stuff going on. They’re just not producing mucus or it’s not coming out. It’s Drosera. Or for flu-type symptoms, although I tend to go Gelsemium for flu. Okay. Another good one for first aid, especially for kids, is Ferrum phos. So we never suppress a fever, okay? Fevers are good. Fevers help your body get rid of the agent. They help mobilize the white blood cells.
Amandha: They open things up so everything can be found out. Nobody can hide. You need a fever. Past 105, okay, you’re at 105—do something more, right? Or if you have a runaway fever or it’s spiking too fast, that’s what Ferrum phos is great for. It’ll just kind of help it go, whoa. We need this fever, but let’s just put a little bit of brakes on it. Let’s just pad it a little. Let’s let them sleep. Let’s let the fever work better for them, you know, so it’s not so hard on them. But it still doesn’t suppress the fever. That’s Ferrum phos. What else would I have in my first-aid kit? I’m gonna skip a lot now, really getting down to the wire. I would have Kali bichromicum.
Amandha: It’s Kali bichromicum, if you wanna pick. That’s how we remembered it in school: if you wanna pick your nose. So, congestion of the sinuses, chronic congestion or acute; it’s just not coming out. Or if the mucus is coming out, it’s very ropey, it’s like yellowy. Great for ear infections as well. That’s like a glue ear. Things are stuck, things aren’t moving. It gets things moving along, even in the chest. Hello? Let me think at once. Okay, so that’s—I would say Pulsatilla for ear infections in children. It’s also great for when they’re just whiny. I don’t know. Oh God, I’m like, give me a remedy quickly.
Pulsatilla, Nux Vomica, Rhus Tox, Silica, and Closing Guidance
Amandha: That’s how I deal with it, my own child, I am like, we’re not near those two. I pull those out like, oh, we’re whining. Woo. We’re just, cause it’s more that she’s having an issue with her emotion. She’s not able to, she’s emotionally overloaded. She’s not able to perceive her emotions properly. So it’s just more to like, let’s just get down to what’s what you’re really feeling and let’s try to express that as opposed to just whining. Right. Which is not very effective. Okay. So there’s that and Nux vomica another great one, Nux vomica, that’s your liver support remedy. That’s great for your liver. This is your hangover remedy. I’m not encouraging you to go party and get drunk, and then you guys, I’m good.
Amandha: Right? But it’s for those people. They burn the candle at both ends. They’re always overworking. They stay up too late. They drink too much coffee. They smoke cigarettes. They’re just drinking too much alcohol. That’s a remedy for these people who don’t stop, but their bodies are gonna stop on them. And it’s great for constipation. They tend to be constipated. Okay, I’m gonna do one more and then I gotta go. Let’s see. Let’s talk about Rhus tox. Rhus tox is another favorite that is for the arthritic person. Mainly it’s actually poison Ivy. It’s poison ivy. That’s what rustox is. So think about what poison ivy, although it’s not the best remedy for poison ivy, which is kind of funny, it’s not a true iso remedy, so isopathy is like using the exact same for that thing.
Amandha: And I’ll tell you a quick example of that in a sec. Rhus tox is the type of arthritis where they get up in the morning and they’re really slow and stiff, and then once they kind of get moving, they’re a bit better, they’re a bit more limber. That’s your classic keynote as it’s called for okay. Yeah, so, hold on. I think I wanna do one more. Silica is for skin, hair, nails. That’s a really good one. I take it pretty low. Take it pretty body base for silica, I do that. There’s hair breakage, skin problems that kind of thing. I like silica. Okay. I don’t know if there’s any questions quickly. I’m just gonna. Hi everybody.
Amandha: Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Yes, I like the Bruce Lee quotes. Okay, good. So, what was I saying about? Oh, I’ve forgotten my story now. This is ridiculous. This is a ridiculous day. Okay, well, I’ll come back to this. I think this was pushing it because it’s such a huge topic, but I just really wanted to communicate about it with you and just get this understanding out there a little bit, bit by bit. Okay. And when I remember my story, I’ll type it in for you. But yeah, just even go and get some Arnica and, like, the next time you bruise yourself, try it, or have some Aconite on hand. I mean, that’s great. Also, if you witness somebody needing something, you know, then you can have it with you.
Amandha: Or pick up like a really great book that has homeopathic remedies and just start to pick at it and learn a little bit here and there. You know, it doesn’t have to be too hot and heavy. Just get you to that place where you understand it a bit more. You’re not, you, you think of it more you know, when you go into a health store or something, you’re like, yeah, you. I really want this in my reality as part of my health team, I would like a homeopathic remedy available. And then if you wanna go see either naturopath or a homeopathic doctor to help get your constitutional remedy, a remedy that’s designed specifically for you that’s a great., that’s a great way to go to try to get your perfect resonance.
Amandha: Like I was saying earlier, your perfect harmony for you, that’s your constitutional, and it can change over your lifetime. But it’s quite an in-depth intake. It takes a number of weeks to get to that simillimum for you. Now there are ways you can do it with biofeedback. There are biofeedback machines that can take that, and one can even question: do we need to make all the actual physical remedies? Can we just send it through the biofeedback machine? And I’m sure those technicians will argue that, yeah, you can do that because it’s frequency, so you can send it in more ways than one, right? But that’s another discussion. Okay, so, love you all. I know I’m rushing and I’m forgetting things because my mind’s elsewhere now.
Amandha: So, love you all. Thank you so much for being with me, being patient with me and listening. And anyway, I hope to see you again soon and bye for now.
