Tea Tree Oil and other wonders

[wolf]

Despite knowing that homeopathy requires that a solution be diluted to the point that no molecules remain of the substance of medicinely goodness, I have a homepathic remedy for 'rrhoids that I swear keeps me off the blow-up donut, and has been effective in doing so for many years.

I am also a fan of the echinacea and goldenseal during cold and flu season, particularly this past year when despite our being direct care healthcare workers and on the list of people to be first in line for shots per the CDC, the county board of health refused to release flu vaccine to my hospital. I did not take any sick days off this year.

I prefer willow bark to aspirin, and aspirin to motrin. I will not take Tylenol at all.

I have some aromatherapy goodies for stress relief as well. And no, those aromas do not include cannabinoids.

I have many pleasant rocks that help me feel better too.

I'm not going to pretend to fully understand it, but the basics concepts of homeopathy make a lot of sense to me. There is no medicinely goodness involved, symptoms are not treated. It's all about enery. Vibrations. Sorta like a quartz watch. I think.
Arnica is amazing. If the boy starts puking, I give him arsenicum and he stops. Allergies? Allium sepa. Homeopathy rocks!


edit: Oh, I forgot about calendula ointment. Boiron (of Newtown Sq.) makes the best one. It makes a burn stop hurting in a few minutes. Wonderful stuff.
