Homeopathic Fungus Remedies

Reading Time: 16 minutes

I’ve had a fascination with fungi recently, which led me to take a deep dive into homeopathic fungus remedies. There’s something about mushrooms, in particular, that captivate me. I’m drawn to their beauty and the diversity of their patterns, to be sure, but I also admire their adaptability and resiliency.

Fungi are more often feared than revered these days, but they are hardly the problem we make them out to be. Rather, the compromised (aka susceptible) nature of our modern ecosystems, both earthly and bodily, is the larger problem, making us vulnerable to certain types of fungi.

Fungi, including mushrooms, molds, lichen, yeasts, etc. have distinct characteristics that […]

How You Measure Success

Reading Time: 8 minutes

A fellow homeopath reached out to me on Instagram last week to inquire about coaching. She kindly told me that my success is very inspiring.

This made me pause. I wasn’t sure how she measured my success.

“Awww. Well, Instagram makes us all look successful. Depends on how you measure success I say,” I replied.

Our interaction got me reflecting on how I’m successful (or not) and on the impact of this online world we “live” in. Like in my Instagram post last week, I wondered if I’m showing up online the way I want to show up online; that is, authentically. […]

Simplify Your Healing

Reading Time: 9 minutes

I rolled my ankle last week…for the third time this year.

I walked out of the house and into the garage, and on the way to the car I stepped on something. For the third time!! I’m serious.

After the third time (and after I nursed my wounds and my frustration) my husband and I came up with a solution to get that hose out of the way that’s been stretched across the garage since our kitchen renovation.

Seems simple, right?

Now I’m not so likely to roll my ankle, and it can finally heal.

We all have hoses in our lives. Some hoses are things we’ve just gotten comfortable with. We mayn’t even notice them. Some we’re more […]

Moving through Acute Symptoms with Homeopathy

Reading Time: 9 minutes

We are finally on the other side of an intense phase of acute symptoms for my daughter. Having had a few days to reflect, I want to share some things that stood out for me about moving through acute symptoms with homeopathy. And some things about the healing – and caregiving – process.

Maybe these reflections and reminders will be helpful for you, too.

Get support.

I’m all about taking charge of our family’s health. I’m all about […]

Homeopathic Remedies for Acute Coughs

Reading Time: 11 minutes

Before I share homeopathic remedies for acute coughs, I want to you to know this: Like fever, cough is a healing response. It is a reflex designed to keep irritants out of your lungs and propel particles out. If there’s something in your lungs, coughing is a remarkably adaptive response that you want to support (rather than routinely suppress).

Yes, it’s been a particularly intense time (in the northern hemisphere at least) for coughs. My kids, who rarely get respoiratory symptoms, had coughs that lingered for weeks. And, for the most part, I didn’t give them homeopathy for it, other than when it disrupted my daughter’s sleep for a […]

Homeopathic Remedies for Sore Throats

Reading Time: 10 minutes

We’ve been on the “fever with sore throat” train in our house. First my son, then my daughter a week later. Thankfully, there are many homeopathic remedies for sore throats. I used all but one of these remedies between the my two kids at different stages of their symptoms. Their symptoms shared some similarities and some striking differences that led me to give the same homeopathic remedy to both at one stage of their dis-ease and then different remedies to each at another stage.

Note that the list of remedies I share here is nowhere near exhaustive, but it does include those that most frequently come up for an […]

It’s Not All About the Mold

Reading Time: 9 minutes

Mold is a four letter word. It’s THE four letter word in the health community. We’re all aware of mold now and the ways it can impact our health. This awareness often shifts to hypervigilance in folks who’ve experienced symptoms after exposure to mold. Hypervigilance makes sense given how debilitating mold-related symptoms can be, but this state tends to perpetuate symptoms long after the exposure has passed. It does not serve our healing. My personal experience with mold-related illness and my experience as a homeopath gave me a perspective on mold (and my body) that does serve healing. That is, it’s not all about the mold.

I know. It feels like […]

Homeopathic Sea Remedies

Reading Time: 19 minutes

A Portuguese Man of War stung my shin two weeks ago. I was swimming in the ocean with my family, and we’d seen a number of them washed up on the beach. Not long before it happened, my husband mentioned seeing one floating in the water near us. I didn’t think much of it, until that sting.

You really get to know a homeopathic remedy (and its healing potential) when you experience the toxic effects of its source.

I felt a pinpoint shock like an intense bee sting that nearly brought me to my knees in the water. But unlike my experience of bee stings, the pain intensified exponentially after the sting. […]

Music and Homeopathy

Reading Time: 8 minutes

Music and homeopathy. It’s all energy, wave, vibration.

If you are grieving and feeling unable to cry or express, you may take Ignatia.

But the same energy is in a song like Last Kiss (see below). It, like homeopathy, is an energetic catalyst. If you are grieving and feeling unable to cry or express, you can also receive a remedy through a song.

Like cures like.

Finding what moves the medicine that’s already in you…that’s where the magic is.

I posted these slides on Instagram, and it was just too fun not to share here on the blog.

What would a song be if it were a homeopathic remedy? Here are eight […]

Ten Homeopathic Remedies I Won’t Travel Without

Reading Time: 15 minutes

My mom reached out recently asking for a small list of homeopathic remedies she should bring on her upcoming travels. I’m not one to pack light…I have two remedy kits that I fill every time I travel, so a “small list” felt like a challenge. But I thought about her request, and I came up with TEN homeopathic remedies I won’t travel without. I shared them with her, and I’m sharing them with you, too.

If you’d like to receive printable postcards for each of the remedies in this list, you can grab them here.
