As we are about to step out of Autumn and into Winter it’s a good time to get prepared with a few remedies on hand for the flu season. Briegers Nosode is useful in acute respiratory infections like bronchitis following the flu or a cold and during the winter months 2 – 3 doses can be taken once weekly or at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms. Another great remedy is Anas Barb, this is the active ingredient in the most popular “over the counter” remedy in France. Double blind clinical studies have been done on Anas Barb with results showing that patients’ fever, shivering and aching all decreased significantly after this remedy. It is also often used weekly as a preventative during the flu season. And lastly Aconite, the remedy to think of at the very first sign of any symptoms, especially after exposure to a cold dry wind. To purchase any of the above remedies call in and see us if you are in Tauranga, or buy online at www.selene.co.nz

Measles has been out and about and we have had an influx of calls here at Selene for remedies to support with the symptoms and to use if in contact with people with the illness.
Measles is a notifiable disease under the health Act 1956 so it is important to see your health professional.

MORBILINUM (the measles nosode) is used for the general symptoms of measles and often given if a child is around other cases of measles to build immunity against the virus.

The following are a few of the common remedies used for Measles. There are many more remedies depending on the symptoms presenting so consult with a homeopath if relief is not forthcoming: Belladonna, Sulphur, Gelsemium, Pulsatilla, Bryonia, Mercurius sol, Arsenicum, Euphrasia and Aconite.

HYPERCAL TINCTURE can be diluted in cooled boiled water and dabbed on rash or added to bath for soothing itchiness and preventing infection. Baking soda is also great to add to bathwater for soothing itchy rash.

Most of us have experienced cramp at some point in our lives. Whether it is period cramps or muscle cramps, they come on suddenly and intensely. They can double us over in pain, stop us in our tracks and wake us up in the night. Cramps can be caused by dehydration, muscle strain, staying in a position too long or over using a muscle. Menstrual cramps are usually caused by uterine contraction but may also be caused by more serious conditions. Whatever the cause, homeopathy has some common remedies that may be of use to the home prescriber including Cuprum met, Colocynthis, Cimicifuga, Mag phos, Causticum, Arnica and Calcarea carb.
