You may have read that some swine flu sufferers had vomiting and diarrhoea as well as the regular flu symptoms, so today we’re going to focus on a homeopathic remedy which is wonderful for curing colds and flu as well as vomiting and diarrhoea.
It’s pretty embarrassing having vomiting and diarrhoea at the same time, although you’re almost too ill to care. But this is a typical case of food poisoning.
The top remedy for this condition is Arsenicum album. An absolutely invaluable remedy for both you, the home prescriber and for practitioners alike.
Arsenicum album is an enormous remedy with a huge scope for many ailments. Here, we’re focussing on flus and purging.
Typically, those in need of this remedy are either very restless or completely exhausted.
The worse time period is around midnight til about 2 am.
The pains are normally burning in nature. Stomach, anus from diarrhoea, your upper lip from an acrid nasal discharge. The skin goes pink or red from the burning nature of the discharge. Animals may suffer from hair loss in this area, as well.
Those in need of this remedy can be very anxious, if not downright fearful, although this isn’t a necessary symptom in all cases and it isn’t always easy to see in animals.
There is an anxiety from being alone, with a great desire for company.
And you’re cold. You need to be covered up, but there is also a desire for fresh or open air. (Is your animal seeking the sun or the heater?)
As your stomach is upset, you can’t drink much at a time, so you tend to sip.
This remedy can either bring you back from the brink of death, or will counter any fears of death, allowing an easy slipping away. I wouldn’t be without it with animals in the household. And it’s equally helpful for people who have made up their mind to go, but remain fearful.
I want to tell you about a recent case I read about, from Homeopathy 4 Everyone
A woman was suffering from a cerebral stroke and in a coma. After a month of futile treatments, doctors declared her case as hopeless.
Luckily for her, a homeopath was brought in.
Her unique symptoms before and during the stroke were taken.
She was given a common homeopathic remedy, one which is found in all first aid kits for home prescribing, regularly. Within two days she was moving her eyes, blinking and made efforts to speak. After one week she talking, moving her head and asking for food. Within one month she walking with support. Shortly after, she recovered all of her mental functions.
You guessed it. The remedy was Arsenicum album. And you know what? The potency was 30c. Just what you have at your disposal in most home prescribing kits.
Arsenicum album can also be used as a flu preventer. Take one dose a week. If you feel the effects of a cold coming on, it can also be used to prevent it establishing.
