North American Scullcap or Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora or Scutellaria laterifolia) is a powerful medicinal herb that is very useful for insomnia, muscle spasms, muscle tremors, anxiety, and withdrawal from drug addictions, like tobacco cigarette smoking, barbituates, and tranquilizers.

It is used in alternative medicine as an anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, slightly astringent, emmenagogue, febrifuge, nervine, sedative and strongly tonic.

One of the great benefits of the Skullcap is for insomnia and sleep disorders. While many remedies, both traditional and herbal, can lull you to sleep like skullcap; most leave you groggy in the morning. Skullcap promotes sound sleep without the unwanted side effect, leaving feeling refreshed and revitalized in the morning.

Traditionally, skullcap is known to be an effective stimulant for the nervous system, as the herb contains high value ingredients for a sound nervous system. The herb is particularly effective in helping as well as escalating the nervous system when a person undergoes mental and physical stress and strain. In fact, skullcap is a time tested medicine for any type of disturbed mental state, be it tension, anxiety, insomnia, neurasthenia, panic, headaches, fatigue, depression as well as melancholy.

Skullcap’s ability to heal treat and even heal irregularities like convulsions, jerking muscles, epilepsy, and wobbliness, as well as the tremors of Parkinson’s and heart trembles has been tested over the ages. Many experts have advocated the use of skullcap instead of applying the normal allopathic tranquilizers and medicines to cure anxiety and depression.

Scientific studies are proving this to be a valuable plant in many areas for mental disorders. Skullcap is used in the treatment of a wide range of nervous conditions including epilepsy, insomnia, hysteria, anxiety, delerium tremens, and withdrawal from addictions, such as smoking, barbiturates and tranquilizers.  Many herbalists also recommend skullcap for use with PMS and menopause to ease the moodiness and severe mood swings that can occur during these times.  Scullcap can be used to promote menstruation, but it should not be given to pregnant women since it can induce a miscarriage.

The infusion is given for nervous headaches, neuralgia and in headache arising from incessant coughing, pain, and inducing sleep when necessary, without any unpleasant symptoms following. Skullcap is currently being used as an alternative medicine to treat ADD and a number of nerve disorders.

Scullcap is a well respected herbal tonic that can nourish and revitalize the central nervous system. It contains minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium that are known in research to assist the body in dealing with such things as stress, tension, headaches, anxiety, exhaustion, muscle spasm and depression.

Intake of skullcap generally functions as a tranquilizer both for the body and the mind. While skullcap relaxes the physique and the over-excited muscles, it also helps to soothe the nervous system. Hence, skullcap is generally used to reduce stress and tension in the patients. Skullcap is also known to have anti-allergic as well as anti-inflammatory properties and has been used for throat infections.

Skullcap has numerous uses, and these differ from place to place. For example, the Cherokee applied the herb mainly as a remedy for women’s disorders. It was traditionally used to rouse menstruation, alleviate chest soreness as well as stimulate the placenta eviction from the body. However, it was in the 19th century that the Physimedicalists, the Anglo-Americans who followed herbal medicine in that age, realized the use of the herb in healing nervous disorders. These physicians found that skullcap had a more penetrative action on the nervous system and was effective in healing disorders like epilepsy, spasms, frenzy, rabies as well as the mental infirmities, including schizophrenia.

Today, skullcap is predominantly consumed as a stimulant for the nervous system with its ability to heal that system. As mentioned earlier, skullcap is a herb that is extremely effective in the treatment of the nervous system as it is beneficial in soothing anxiety, stress and worries. In fact, the ability of skullcap to control and rectify nervous irregularities makes it one of the most effective remedies for tension and anxiety that leads to muscular contractions.

Physicians often recommend usage of skullcap individually or in combination with other tranquilizing herbal medicines to cure sleeplessness as well as for respite from menstrual pains. Scientists as well as physicians are of the opinion that there is need for more studies into skullcap as this may bring to the fore other still unknown uses of the herb.

Skullcap is also beneficial in healing diseases like arthritis as it has anti-inflammatory properties. It is especially effective when stress and anxiety worsens arthritis in a patient. Among other uses, the herb is known to be beneficial in lowering high body temperatures, aid in absorption of food as well as rouse the operation of the liver. This is primarily owing to the presence of sour and bitter substances in the herb.

In North America, skullcap has been traditionally used to heal patients suffering from venomous snake and insect stings. In addition, the herb is also conventionally used in this part of the world to treat rabies, alleviate menstrual contractions as well as smoothen sexual over-exhilaration.

Skullcap alone or when blended with roots of another herb known as valerian is an ideal tranquilizer. Individually as well as in combination with valerian roots, skullcap is beneficial in healing disorders like muscular contractions, jerks and common tremors.

Please remember that Skullcap or Scullcap can refer to two herbs:  American Scullcap or Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) is discussed in this article and is from North America -and- Chinese Scullcap or Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is from China and other parts of Asia.  The two are used to treat some very different conditions and are not interchangeable.  Be sure to ask your health food store which version of the herb they have before buying or using it.

Homeopathic Nux Vomica – Superb remedy for hangover – gastric and liver disorders caused by modern society high living – overeating or excessive medication – Hangover medicine – and can break the laxative habit

Posted on by

Gastric and liver disorders occasioned by high living, overeating or excessive medication. “Hangover” medicine, Nux Vomica also can break the laxative dependency.  Anxiety, nervousness, irritability, mental strain.

The stress of deadlines, tests, mental strain, parties, stimulants, sedatives, etc., tend to lower vitality, increase susceptibility, and lead to the many ailments this comprehensive single can relieve, including: Restless cold or flu with extreme chilliness, suffocating cough and fatigue; Digestion with heartburn, gas, vomiting and constipation from fatty food, alcohol, coffee or stress; Pains including pressing headaches, sore lower backaches, and heavy menstrual pains. Keeping an aggravated state from becoming angry or violent is a Nux trademark.

Stress and excesses of work, fun, food, stimulants, anger, etc, can stimulate the symptoms this versatile remedy relieves. When too many deadlines, tests, projects, plans, medications, parties, become too much, we become susceptible to the physical, mental and emotional states that Nux is especially apt at addressing.

Typical adjectives for Nux individuals or states include: competitive, impatient, impulsive, ambitious, aggressive, fastidious, restless… You know the feeling when you have worked harder than anyone else, you know you are right and want to rage against all the red tape? That is typically the Nux moment. Some people are that dedicated or engaged all the time, others only feel it under stress.

Under stress, the Nux workaholic might form habits like drinking a pot of coffee to wake up, overeating during a sedentary day, then taking something to induce sleep, but the remedy can help us all unravel our nerves and change indulgent behavior. Helping an aggravated state from becoming an angry or violent state is a trademark of Nux.

 Then there are the physical effects of stress that Nux can relieve. It aids very restless hay fever, cold and flu symptoms that may include extreme chilliness, bone, back and joint pain, headache, suffocating cough and fatigue. Extreme chilliness marks a Nux fever– drafts are unbearable. The cold may have burning mucus that blocks the nose at night and a rough sore throat that sends pain toward the ears on trying to swallow the lump in your throat. Ear pain that hurts on swallowing will often find relief in Nux, as well. The hay fever Nux applies to has these same common cold symptoms.

When the digestive system is stressed, Nux can quickly relieve heartburn, indigestion, gas and constipation from too much fatty food, alcohol/hangovers, coffee, stimulants or other excesses. Car sickness with a faint feeling, stomach flu with bitter vomiting and constipation during pregnancy may need Nux, too. 

Then there’s the pain. Nux specializes in pressing, tearing headaches that worsen at night or in the morning especially following mental strain, alcohol or 3 a.m. sleeplessness. Nux also helps backache with pressing bruised pain in lower back and periods with heavy aching pain and lower back spasms.

Illness and fatigue bring out Nux’s most impatient, irritable and hypersensitive behaviors. Nux patients find relief in a nap, moist air and hot drinks, and aggravation in cold open air, tight clothes, stimulation and on waking early. Without Nux, the only alternative for such workaholics may be utter fatigue, which falls under Nux’s range of support as well.

 Nux Vomica Information from Homeopathic Materia Medica and Repertory:

Nux Vomica is about the most widely used homeopathic remedy because the bulk of its symptoms correspond in similarity with those of the commonest and most frequent of diseases.

It is frequently the first remedy, indicated after much dosing, establishing a sort of equilibrium of forces and counteracting chronic effects. Nux is pre-eminently the remedy for many of the conditions incident to modern life.

The typical Nux patient is rather thin, spare, quick, active, nervous, and irritable. He does a good deal of mental work; has mental strains and leads a sedentary life, found in prolonged office work, overstudy, and close application to business, with its cares and anxieties. This indoor life and mental strain seeks stimulants, coffee, wine, possibly in excess; or, again, he hopes to quiet his excitement, by indulging in the sedative effects of tobacco, if not really a victim, to the seductive drugs, like opium, etc.

These things are associated with other indulgences; at table, he takes preferably rich and stimulating food; wine and women play their part to make him forget the close application of the day. Late hours are a consequence; a thick head, dyspepsia, and irritable temper are the next day’s inheritance. Now he takes some cathartic, liver pills, or mineral water, and soon gets into the habit of taking these things, which still further complicate matters. Since these frailties are more yielded to by men than women. Nux is pre-eminently a male remedy.

Homeopathic Nat Phos The Great Remedy for Weight Loss Acid Reflux Sour Stomach plus much more

Homeopathic Remedy – Nat Phos – (Sodium phosphate or Phosphate of Sodium)
Excellent Remedy for Weight Loss Acid Reflux Sour Stomach plus much more 
Homeopathic Nat Phos is the great pH balancer in the body and is one of the most effective natural antacids there is. Whenever there is more acid than necessary in your body, your digestion suffers and there’s heartburn, flatulence, sometimes constipation, sometimes diarrhea.
All this adds up to your metabolic rate not being what it should with the result of more weight than what should be your optimum weight as well as water retention – which also adds to your weight.
If you are looking for fast weight loss, Nat Phos is not for you – it’s a remedy that prides itself on being slow and sure. So no quick weight loss with Nat Phos but it’s steady weight loss till you reach your optimum weight – and the great thing is, the weight stays off!
There are physical, mental and emotional symptoms that call for the tissue salt Natrum Phosphoricum or Nat Phos for short.
How do you know of you need Nat Phos? The signs are in your saliva and your urine. All you need to do is to get yourself some pH paper from the pharmacy and test either your urine or saliva. If the reading is over 6.4, it means your pH is acidic and it calls for this tissue remedy.
Look at some of the other signs that tell you that you could have an acidic constitution. There could be a tendency to gout – with a lot of pain in the big toe – or rheumatism of the joints, the tongue and the tonsils are covered with a creamy yellow coating which screams “excess acid”, any discharge from the nose, throat or eyes have that same creamy-yellow color and there’s a certain sourness in the perspiration, the saliva, the urine. When the pain in the joints grows less, there’s pain in the chest and very often it is this pain caused by acidity that makes people feel they are having a heart attack. Acid reflux or GERD also benefit a lot from this cell salt.
Eczema is yet another symptom of excess acid in the body and very often, the Nat Phos eczema manifests itself at the ankles with intolerable itching. A deficiency of this salt also results in diabetes which seems to disappear when this salt is given, washing out the excess sugar in the blood as it were.
The mental symptoms are worst at night when the person thinks there is someone in the next room and imagines he hears footsteps. And when he goes to look, his imagination makes him feel that the pieces of furniture are actually people hiding there.
Scheussler’s Biochemistry, this cell salt’s primary role in the body is to decompose acids. Thus its remedy, Nat phos in the 6x potency , offers an extremely safe way to treat a range of acid-related conditions in all ages and stages of life.
The sodium phosphate in our digestive tracts breaks down stomach acids and regulates bile. When overwhelmed by fatty, bitter or sugar-filled foods and beverages, including alcohol, the body cannot make enough sodium phosphate to handle all the stomach acids needed for digestion. As a result, we get acid symptoms like heartburn, diarrhea, gas, sour belching and a yellow coating on the back of the tongue. In babies, Nat phos is a very natural gentle way to relieve colic, sour vomiting and sour smelling green diarrhea. In children, Nat phos can ease the crash and headaches of sugar highs. As a safe source for heartburn relief during pregnancy, Nat phos is irreplaceable. Top of the head headaches and sick headaches with sour vomiting find relief in it whether due to morning sickness, dietary excesses or illness.
The sodium phosphate in our muscles keeps them limber and gliding smoothly. When exercise or shock deprives muscles of oxygen, they fill with lactic acid, cramp and stiffen until sodium phosphate breaks down the acids. Thus Nat phos can save hours of discomfort after workouts, weight-lifting or accidents.
Sodium phosphate is also critical in our joints, to keep them free of acidic deposits. Thus the remedy supports balancing relief for stiff or inflamed joints.
When ignored, acidity leads to sick headaches, fatigue, sluggish sour digestion, stiff musculoskeletal symptoms and head colds with yellow mucus and a painful cough. In any of these circumstances, the cell salt remedy Natrum phos, can help the body find its natural balance of sodium phosphate and acidity.

The need for Nat phos help is most marked by two typical symptoms of acid buildup and resulting congestion: sourness– sour belching, vomiting, sour smelling perspiration; and yellowness– yellow mucus, a yellow coating on the back of the tongue, and yellow skin issues.  Nat phos symptoms usually worsen after eating bitter or fatty foods and from mental exertion. Those most in need grow fearful at night and suffer nervous fatigue, indifference and mental dullness.

How the Lymphatic Reflex Massage Points Correlate to Our Body Organs

When you give yourself a lymphatic massage, you help your body organs. Why? Because each lymphatic reflex point is related to a body organ, so by massaging the lymphatic point that relates to an organ, you are helping the function of that related organ.  

Give it a try.  As an example, if your stomach or small intestine do not feel good for a few hours after eating, find the lymphatic points for the stomach and small intestine and give them a massage.

Homeopathic Remedies-Medicines: Expiration Dates-Do Homeopathic Remedies Expire?

Posted on by
Reply

Years ago, I was surprised to learn that homeopathic remedies made in the form of sublingual tablets do not deteriorate and do not expire. When I was having a homeopathic remedy made at our local homeopathic pharmacy, the pharmacist told me that homeopathic remedies last for decades and decades.

We are so accustomed to buying western drug company chemical medicines that do deteriorate and do lose their effectiveness and do expire that each of us have a difficult time adjusting to the reality that homeopathic remedies do not suffer the same fate as the chemical medicines that are produced by our western drug companies.

In fact, the FDA has issued a rule which specifically states that homeopathic remedies are exempt from having any required expiration date. Some manufacturers do place an expiration date on their remedies, but those dates are not required (and those non-required dates may be more for marketing or other purposes). The FDA ruling regarding homeopathic remedy expiration dates is discussed in the Q & A  from Hylands.com which appears below.   Hylands is one of the most prominent manufacturers of widely used homeopathic remedies.

“Do these tablets expire?

Our tablets do not expire. We don’t put expiration dates on the products, as they have been exempted from expiration dating guidelines by the FDA (CFR 211.137) The numbers that are imprinted on the edge of the labels are lot numbers – so we know exactly when the product was produced. We can track any product we made using that number.”

Homeopathy: Proof from scientists about how Homeopathic Remedies work

Posted on by

Scientists and doctors who declare that homeopathy is bunk because of the dilution effect don’t understand the qualities of water, a leading chemist has claimed.

Rustum Roy, research professor of materials at Arizona State University, says that water does indeed have a “memory” and can contain elements of an original substance, even after it has been diluted one million times.

For most scientists, this is an impossibility, and one that defies all scientific laws. But, says Prof Roy, that’s because they haven’t made a special study of water. For those who have, such as Prof Martin Chaplin of the South Bank University in London, the debunkers seem to merely hold to the position that they simply don’t believe it. “Such unscientific rhetoric is heard from the otherwise sensible scientists, with a narrow view of the subject and without any examination or appreciation of the full body of evidence, and reflects badly on them,” he says.

Prof Eugene Stanley at Boston University has catalogued 64 “highly anomalous” property changes in pure water, which, according to materials science, means there must be the same number of different structures in water, or ‘polymorphism’, as he calls it.

Homeopathic Remedies – Medicines: Using the proper dosage of the proper homeopathic remedy can produce powerful beneficial results

Posted on by
Reply

Homeopathic remedies are very powerful. So they can be very effective if you take the proper dosage of the proper homeopathic remedy.

However, there is a great misunderstanding about how much of a remedy to take and how long to take it. The dosage instructions that appear on the bottle of a homeopathic remedy that is sold in the typical store are very “general guidelines”.

In order to obtain the best results with homeopathic remedies, select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In addition, in those conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, a lower potency (6x, 6C, 12x, 12C, 30x, or 30C) should be used – unless otherwise directed by a physician or other professional practitioner who is skilled in the use of homeopathic remedies.

Most skilled homeopathic physicians and practitioners suggest that homeopathic remedies be used as follows:

1 – Take one dose and wait for a response.

2 – If improvement is seen, continue to wait and let the remedy work.

3 – If improvement slows significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken.

4 – The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day (or less) can be sufficient.

5 – If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.

6 – And it is very important to remember the following: Homeopathic remedies should NEVER be TAKEN INDEFINITELY.

Once you have taken too much, you will observe some new symptoms which you did NOT have earlier.

You should definitely stop taking any particular homeopathic remedy at the point where you notice new symptoms. Why? Because that is the point at which that remedy has done all the good it can – so do not take any more of that remedy.

If you continue to repeat beyond this point, it will be detrimental to you by giving you new symptoms. Or, in other words, the remedy will graft the remedy’s own symptoms onto you. Once that happens it will be difficult to reverse.

So please remember, once you get some new symptoms, that is the signal that you have to stop taking any further tablets of that remedy, and you should wait for a long time before taking any more of that particular remedy.
