XXXHANDLING STRESS WITH HOMEOPATHY

Nervous and scared before examinations? Homeopathy can help in exam fear!

REAL CURE. GENTLE CURE.
Ever the sturdiest of souls quiver before an exam. So don't fret, you are not alone. But that is a small consolation. How to deal with the pre-exam nerves?

Homeopathy can help you. No doctor's prescription needed. No side effects. And absolutely safe. And Homeopathic remedies are non-addictive.

Gelsemium Sempervirens: You always thought that you were brave, but before the exams, you feel so darned cowardly! You feel your heart will stop. You feel like, for a moment, giving it all up.

Little thirst. May be the legs feel weak.

Now, if this is you before examinations, then Gelsemium 30 or 200 is what you need. Totter off to the nearest Homeopathic medicine shop (or order it online) and ask for GELSEMIUM 30 (or 200 if you want it a stronger). Just pop one globule (no water or food 10 minutes before or after, please!) on your tongue and let it dissolve. Within minutes you will be a new man (or woman)! Remember, Gelsemium benefits soldiers when they go into action. You are only going for an exam!

Aethusa Cynapium: You have studied like hell for the exams and suddenly you feel unable to concentrate, think or fix attention. You feel restless, anxious and are almost in tears.

In such a situation you need AETHUSA 30. It has also been called "fool's parsley." It makes a genius out of a fool. And you are anything but that! So just keep popping a globule of the remedy on your tongue, two times a day as long as your exams last.

Cancer is a disease that defies Modern medicine. Breast cancer is one of the commonest cancers which afflict women the world over. Homeopathy steps in with hope and assurance into the picture. It is capable of curing many cases of breast cancers, while it palliates others and eases the pain and extends life.

Radiation treatment does more harm than good. Surgery is not the answer as removing a cancerous tumor does not remove the cancerous tendency in the patient. The cancer then spreads to other organs. it is called metastasis.

Magical Homeopathy: Mania and trembling cured on mentals alone!

REAL CURE. GENTLE CURE.
The other day an old woman visited me. Chronic rheumatism patient. She had her prolapsed uterus removed surgically fifteen years before. The arthritis started after that. Five years ago she had a bad bout of pneumonia. Three years back she had developed tuberculosis, which was treated by allopathic drugs. She also has blood pressure problems ( metasis of rheumatism to the heart).

But the ailment she had come to be treated was that she suffered from internal trembling at night. During the tremors, she feels very excited and was fearful of death. She used to shout at her family then. During the tremors she used to become another person. Her family said she appeared insane then.

It was clear it was the syphilis miasm. Her problem arose at night only. I looked up "internal trembling" in the nerves chapter of Robin Murphy repertory. But none of the remedies seemed to fit. I tried causticum, but it only palliated.

It was the Murphy repertory which gave me the first clue. Under mania, syphilitic there are only two remedies, syphilinum and Kali Iodatum. I gave syphilinum first because it is a remedy when rheumatism attacks the nervous system.

It helped but the lady was not cured.

Then Kent came to my help. In his lectures on the Materia Medica, he says on Kali Iod, "There is a very strong degree of irritability, cruelty, and harshness of temper. He is harsh with his family and with his children; abusive. It will take all the sense of refinement out of his mind and then he will become sad and tearful."

The description fitted my patient's mentals like a glove!

I gave her Kali Iodatum. She reports her nocturnal agonies have ceased.

Kali Iod is not mentioned in "trembling, internal" in the repertory!

Rajan Sankaran, thank you!
