HOMEOPATHY
What can it treat?

Whom can Homeopathy help, and what can it treat?
Homoeopathy can help many different people from children to the elderly and everyone in between! People who are on conventional medicine can use homoeopathy to come off drugs or reduce the need for too many drugs. It can also help with many mental and physical problems, such as the ones below:

Mental problems include all forms of depression, anxiety, stress, mood swings, paranoia, PMS related problems, menopausal problems and many more.

Physical problems can include digestive problems, bowel, stomach and oesophageal, eczema, asthma, rheumatism, arthritis, general aches and pains, sinusitis, migraines, headaches, PMS, menopausal problems, respiratory, lung, musculo-skeletal, sciatica, etc..

If you wonder if homoeopathy might be able to help you, please call the Edinburgh Homoeopathic Centre and ask to speak with Jonathan Clogstoun-Willmott.

A CASE OF CONFUSION
A 47 year old female was experiencing very painful migraines, to the extent that she had nose-bleeds and blood-shot eyes, high blood pressure and was very irritable. She was going through the menopause and experiencing a peculiar symptom of pain in her veins. Her doctor did not know what this, but it was useful in finding the appropriate homeopathic remedy for her. Within one month of starting homeopathic treatment all her symptoms began improving and after several further treatments she had no further migraines.

A CASE OF TONSILLITIS
A 47 year old woman rang: she had been a patient many years before but had moved so had not been seen for some time. She had tonsillitis and did not want to have antibiotics because of previous experience of them. The pain felt like something stuck in her throat, like an apple skin. She had white pus on her right tonsil which was very swollen. The left tonsil was red, but less swollen, and had no pus. The whole area felt irritated. Her throat was hot and dry, and pain went to her nose if she swallowed. Cold water drinks helped the throat, and she was thirsty, sipping water all the time. But she herself felt cold, and preferred warmth. Before the onset, she had had a bad earache, and the whole problem had begun when the weather got cold. The pain was worse in the evening. Her throat felt dry in the morning, almost sticky, and she wanted to drink (cold water). Sleep was all right. She also had pain in her eyelids. She had a headache in the very centre of her forehead, right about the root of her nose: a dull ache which was better if pressed, and better if she lay down and closed her eyes. The throat was hot, itchy, and croaky and prickly especially when talking. She had not sweated at all: she just felt colder than she would have expected, and was more than usually sensitive to the cold. She felt irritated and tired, and a little agitated. There were no other pains. Her period had just ended, having been slightly heavier than usual – she had no idea why. When asked whether there was anything else, she said that it probably wasn’t important but that during all this she found that when she looked up, she saw colours in front of her eyes.

After starting the remedy, she immediately began to feel better, and all the symptoms, which had been gradually worsening for about five days, began to improve, and had almost gone after 36 hours when she first rang to report progress. It had gone completely by the next day.

The remedy for her was chosen not because she had tonsillitis but because of what made her reaction to tonsillitis individual to her. The exact symptoms which led to the precise homeopathic remedy specially for her here (Lycopodium) were these:

• although she herself felt cold, she wanted to sip cold liquids for her throat
• the right hand tonsil was worse
• the headache was in the very centre of her forehead
• she saw colours when she looked up

Do please realise that this remedy would only suit a small number of people suffering from tonsillitis. Each case must be considered separately.
