What remedy picture matches you?

Homoeopathic pharmacies prepare medicines from animal, plant or mineral sources using a special process of dilution and energetic enhancement. This releases the substance’s unique energy for us to use and takes away any toxicity. The end result is an extremely powerful medicine that restores and enhances our vital energy. There are over one thousand homoeopathic remedies available. In the clinic, the homoeopath will match up your individual symptom picture to one of these remedy pictures. Examples of some commonly used remedies are:

Pulsatilla
8Pulsatilla, the wind flower, nods its head on the cool windy alpine slopes. The Pulsatilla patient is mild, gentle, moody and changeable. She weeps easily and craves sympathy and affection. She always feels better for a walk in the open air and loves rich foods and ice cream even though they disagree with her. She can’t stand warm stuffy rooms and prefers her drinks cool although she isn’t very thirsty. She’s prone to hormonal problems and gastric upsets. Pulsatilla children often get clingy when they’re teething or sick, and won’t let you put them down. They suffer from colds, ear infections, coughs, asthma and allergies.

Nat Mur
9Nat Mur, or common salt, is the taste of human tears. The Nat Mur person is serious, reserved, responsible and may have experienced a grief or loss in the past. They may feel deeply depressed, but cry only when they’re alone and hate anybody to see them upset or to offer sympathy. They can get irritated by trivial things and sometimes hold a grudge.

They are prone to headaches, hay fever, and cold sores. Their symptoms are sometimes worse at the beach or in the hot sun, but they like fresh air. They tend to have low energy at 10 – 11am and enjoy salty snacks. They have trouble sleeping and when they sleep they dream a lot. Nat Mur children can be slow to speak.

Stramonium
2The deadly Stamonium flowers open at dusk and have long been used by tribal peoples as a hallucinogenic drug. Stramonium children can be terrified of the dark, needing light and someone to stay with them. They suffer from nightmares and wake screaming. They talk a lot and sometimes they suffer from epilepsy, high fevers, ADHD or sleep disorders. Their nervous systems are highly strained and they can be prone to outbursts of rage and violence, especially after a strong fright. They have deep-seated fears of animals, the dark, being alone, and of bright lights. Stramonium adults can suffer from schizophrenia or mental disorders following abuse, a fright or a head injury.

Sulphur
5Sulphur the mineral is found in active volcanoes, and sulphur children are into everything. They’re full of unquenchable curiosity and love being the centre of attention. Sulphur adults can be friendly, extroverted, stubborn, lazy and irritable. They take great pride in their intellect but their houses are messy and they don’t notice their dishevelled appearance. They worry about their health but they’re usually good-natured and generous. They suffer from skin complaints, especially itchy eczema, digestive troubles, low blood sugar and hot feet. They love sweets, spicy food, and alcohol but milk disagrees. Their symptoms are aggravated by heat, from bathing and from standing up – Sulphurs love nothing better than to lie down.
