years ago, when my son was just a baby I inherited the homeopathic kit (of over a hundred remedies) belonging to a close student of a respected British homeopath...I studied with my friend the student who passed on soon after, and i worked my way through the book "Homeopathic Drug Pictures" -- which I found as absorbing as a
"War and Peace".
:-)
I just wanted to let people know that I managed to avert more than one or two trips to the hospital with my little son, when we lived by a remote lake and a sudden illness would come on... aren't they always sudden and extreme?
He generally needed the remedy for "right-sided complaints"...Ferrum Phos.
(iron) Once or twice, knowing he needed something that I didn't have at hand,
I envisioned myself giving it to him anyway. with the same result.
just a few thoughts, since it's always good to remember that the subtle (largely unknown) realm is the one with the most power.

here's a good site to visit, if, like me, you're an eternal student.

It opens to equisetum because I woke up today thinking how important it is for us to remember that "silica is the matrix" for calcium...and on it goes....

The barefoot herbalist likes to chomp on horsetail, when out walking in summer.
Once upon a time, when I had a kidney stone, and was sent home with Tylenol 3s and told to "come back when you can't stand the pain", (and they'd cut me open)
I remembered equisetum. Within a short time I felt much better, and after a few doses of the homeopathic drops I passed the stone (caught it in my hand.) It was the size of a piece of corn, and passed painlessly.
I've seen other remarkable evidence of healing. In a friend who burnt his hand on some part of what's under a car's hood (i forget, maybe the radiator but, a BAD burn)
within seconds of his taking Cantharis (spanish fly) his hand was completely fine.
No blisters ever formed- the hand had been red and in unbearable pain--my friend was a tall, strapping guy from Arkansas where they call a certain kind of smallish knife an Arkansas toothpick. PS--he didn't "believe" in homeopathics.
