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...

Good nutrition being the basis of good health, removal from the diet of “non-foods” such as artificial additives, flavourings, colourings, and preservatives, along with highly processed foods of little nutritional value, constitutes removal of an obstacle to cure. This simple step of returning the child to real foods often leads to substantial improvements, even in the absence of any other intervention.  The Feingold Diet: A Fine Example So it's no secret that a bad diet is an obstacle to any cure, but that's especially true in cases of ADHD and concentration issues in children and adults alike. It's hard to recommend a homeopathic remedy when the diet of the patient consists primarily of white bread, white pasta, processed foods, regular cow milk, additives etc. The Feingold diet was invented by Dr. Feingold who realized that in some ADHD cases, the main problem was the diet and that was enough to solve the case. It could be it won't work for you or your family, but it...

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

  I’m always amazed at the diversity of natural products out there, designed by the Great Designer to help with all kinds of ailments. Even though I specialize in homeopathic products and therapeutics, I love to explore other options, especially when they can help with specific issues my ADD/ADHD patients have. functions such as mood, memory and cognitive capacity. Cordyceps Mushrooms for Cognitive Capacity I’d like to focus on the Cordycept Mushroom's mental benefit first. The fungus dilates the airways in the lungs , resulting in more oxygen to the blood, therefore - it promotes oxygenation. This means better cell function, because more oxygen reaches every cell. The energy level is also increased. In fact, it is used as a stimulant when added energy is needed for day-to-day activities. Not only it increases energy but also endurance and stamina. It removes weakness and fatigue… Even in healthy people, when someone is overworked, it alleviates fatigue. There’s a second benefit w...

  How to Mindfully Parent You don’t need to change your entire lifestyle to start practicing mindfulness strategies today. Open your eyes, literally and figuratively. Pay attention to your surroundings and how you feel on the inside and out. Take in things with all your senses — touch, hearing, sight, smell, and taste. Be in the moment. Resist living in the past or planning too intently for the future. Find the good in what’s happening right now, right in front of you. Practice acceptance. Try your best to accept your child’s emotions and actions, even when they frustrate you. (And extend this acceptance to yourself.) Breathe. Having a crisis moment? Focus on your breath. Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with air and keeping your mind on your breath. Exhale and feel your breath as it enters and exits your body. Encourage your child to breathe during tough times, too. Meditate. Focusing on the breath is a big part of meditation. You only need to car...

The amazing work Hashem made in the form of our bodies is the source of infinite reasons to be grateful every day. Every time I learn more about it (and in my profession, there's what to learn every day), I get a feeling of His great wisdom and unbelievable kindness.  That being said, I'd like to share with you some tips and pieces of knowledge you could appreciate about different parts of our bodies: - Skin - Acne - Face - Teeth - Fever - Hemorrhoids -Brain - Feet - Heart - Constipation and Diarrhea Symbolism of the Skin Our skin is our envelope, it is through it that we express many things in our lives; through it, we experience our affective relationship or cry out our need to be protected (allergies). In Chinese medicine, it is related to lung energy. Also, it comes from the same embryonic tissue as the brain and the nervous system. Like him, she captures and records data. The skin will allow contact, but also protects against external aggressions. She also reveals certain ...
