Busy Bee: Get Rid of her Anxiety with Homeopathy



The Case of the "Bee" Who Didn't Want to Speak

Shhhh

I don't think she'll be three-years old forever, but that's her age as this article is being written and that's how old she was when I discovered her remedy. Thanks to the book Healing Complex Children with Homeopathy from Angelica Lemke, I found out that some "small remedies" meaning used for something very specific like hives, can solve a more general case. Let me explain. In the case of my daughter, I had to find a remedy for anxiety - Selective Mutism to be more specific - from which she suffered for a few months. Her ganenet, after about 6 months! mentioned that she didn't know the sound of her voice. Meaning my girl wouldn't speak up even if she needed anything. Snob? Not sure. I looked it up and it's an actually anxiety disorder called Selective Mutism where the child chooses when she'll be mute and suddenly un-mute at home where she feels more secure. 

I tried Phosphorus at first and low and behold! she started saying one word the following day in gan! The ganenet said it was a miracle, but I'm used to it with homeopathy, which is actually based on sound scientific principles. The day after she said two words and after a while she started to plateau. So I was looking for a different remedy which would bring her to higher levels of comfort. Obviously, she didn't yet feel comfortable enough outside the home to express herself to the full extent of her (amazing) abilities.  

Using Angelica's book on Children's remedies and Sankaran's methods to find the deep core issue, I was able to focus on the Bee Remedy: Apis, which is usually for rosy rashes or insect stings. In her case, it fit perfectly on the mental levels as well: she's always busy with something, very color/pattern oriented (like the bee who needs to recognize the flowers), she has a huge tendency towards jealousy (think of the bee hive) etc. etc. With Apis, we reached an amazing level of cure where she was completely herself to the point where the ganenet was able to rest her case. She was so impressed by the change that she used YM Homeopathy for her own son. 

Here's Angelica Lemke's description of Apis:

People who need it are busy, restless, and almost. "buzzing"  around; they like organization, and to do a job well. They may also be competitive, easily reactive and quick to anger with knee-jerk reactions.

I realized that at home she was much calmer (much less tantrums) and whenever I see a relapse in her behavior I just give her a dose of her remedy. It's her remedy meaning it won't work with anybody else in the family and she consistantly feels better after taking it. Now I rarely give it to her again, maybe a few times per month and I know I will need to give her less and less, as the body learns to take over. 

Now let me mentioned as an aside, of course Hashem is the One who Helps, but He sends messengers to do the "dirty job" and Apis is one of them. When patients tell me "I'm not sure if it was the remedy or something else but I feel much better" well, let me tell you: IT WAS THE REMEDY. That's why it's called a remedy... and the tantrum I had this morning would NOT have stopped until much later (if at all) if she didn't take her homeopathically chosen Apis remedy. That's a fact.

This kind of cure would fall under the ADHD/ASD program offered by YM Homeopathy with a 6-months minimum follow-up.

Diatomaceous Earth - DE - Friend or Foe?

 There's a very popular topic around here should you need a subject of conversation - that's worms, yes, of the intestinal kind (not the intellectual kind. I used to be a book worm, I guess I still am in a way).  Worms? Because they infect so many people so fast, it's important to find an alternative to the current medical solution which is basically poison to the body. For months I prayed to find one so we could get rid of these parasites, visiting my children's rectum every night (sorry for the visual).  I tried a soup recipe with all the types of food supposed to get rid of worms. Even homeopathy doesn't kill the parasites. Vermox, the medical option, works sometimes and sometimes not, but who knows what damage it does while it travels the body.  One day, I come across this post on hpathy.com, one of my favorite homeopathy reference website: "Stumbled upon this post, but I want to let anyone know who feels hopeless about parasites, especially worms. Food Gr...

Pellet of Mussar: The Other Song

 I think the best part of being a homeopath is to hear people's "other song". Let me explain. As I told my patients and students numerous time, part of us is Divine (we're hoping 100% of the time we're connected to that part!) and part of us, the Other Song, is less. Some people get easily angry, others are more messy, some are often sad, everybody has their "other song". When we look for a remedy (doesn't matter what the official diagnosis is), we want to address the other part of us, the unbalanced part, the one that prevents us from doing our Avodat Hashem.  Hahnemann said (the founder of homeopathy)  that a healthy state is when the "reasoning spirit who inhabits the organism can freely use this healthy instrument to reach the lofty goal of human existence" (from his book The Organon of Medicine ). We're born with this "less divine" part of us, and the job of the homeopath is to hear, identify and treat the other song so t...

Working With Other Modes of Healing

 Homeopathy is compatible with all the other modes of healing out there and I have learned not to be dogmatically for, or against, any therapy (even pharmaceuticals).  In our culture, we often need to learn to do less, and in homeopathy, less is more. Once you get in touch with your own inner healer you can customize your healing approach and cut out unnecessary interventions. Excessive biomedical and pharmaceutical treatments will gradually drain the vital force and slow down the homeopathic, vitalistic, source of healing.  A lot of people treated with a mainstream medical approach have been on various types of pharmaceuticals and it's possible that you or your child is currently taking antibiotics, steroids, stimulants, etc.  While some homeopaths will say that remedies will not work while a child is taking pharmaceuticals, if a patient is dedicated to weaning himself or his child off of them under the guidance of a healthcare professional, I will still begin homeo...
