Homeopathy For Women Today

According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke,

A migraine is a very painful type of headache. People who get migraines often describe the pain as pulsing or throbbing in one area of the head. During migraines, people are very sensitive to light and sound. They may also become nauseated and vomit.

Migraine is three times more common in women than in men. Some people can tell when they are about to have a migraine because they see flashing lights or zigzag lines or they temporarily lose their vision.

Many things can trigger a migraine. These include:-

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Lack of food or sleep
• Exposure to light
• Hormonal changes (in women)

Doctors used to believe migraines were linked to the opening and narrowing of blood vessels in the head. Now they believe the cause is related to genes that control the activity of some brain cells. Medicines can help prevent migraine attacks or help relieve symptoms of attacks when they happen. For many people, treatments to relieve stress can also help.

In the last post, we looked at some causes of hair thinning and hair loss.  In this post, we look at how homeopathy can help with these problems.  Through today’s post, I hope to inspire you to try homeopathic remedies for hair loss or hair thinning, and enjoy a full head of hair again.

Homeopathic treatment is aimed at not just medicating you for your ailment, but to treat you from within to remedy the root cause of the problem. Depending on your age, lifestyle, diet, cause of hair loss, nature and pattern of hair fall, Homeopathy can provide great solutions for hair thinning and hair loss.

If a clear external cause is found, such as excessive hair dyeing, excessive shampooing and blowdrying, unhealthy eating, wearing the hair too tight, recent childbirth, use of contraceptive pills, etc, removing/managing the cause itself will resolve the hair loss problem in most cases. 

If the underlying cause is hormone-related such as diabetes, hyperthyroidism, polycystic ovarian syndrome, or a serious illness, Homeopathy can be used to treat the underlying condition and arrest further hair loss or even renew hair growth. 

If the underlying cause of hair loss is emotional stress, Homeopathy can help balance your emotions, and arrest hair loss at the same time.  Flower Remedies are also excellent for managing stress. [Get a copy of my free ebook on “Stress Relief for Women, using Flower Remedies” by signing up on the right hand side bar].

Homeopathic solutions for chronic hair loss will require consultation with a qualified practitioner.  For short-term issues, you may be able to self-treat. Some Homeopathic remedies that can help treat hair loss are:

Fluoric acid - For brittle hair that falls out in small tufts.

Lycopodium - For premature balding and graying, or hair loss after childbirth. Eczema is often behind the ears.

Kali carbonicum - For dry, thinning hair. Scalp is very dry. Dandruff is also present.

Kali Sulphuricum - For yellow, flaking dandruff, which may be moist or sticky. Hair falls out, leaving bald spots.

Natrum Mur - When hair loss is accompanied by dandruff and white crusts on the scalp. Greasy around the hairline. Hair fall after childbirth.

Sepia - hair fall during pregnancy, after childbirth or during nursing.

Phosphorus - Hair falls out in handfuls. Bald spots on the head that are dry and scaly.

Phosphorum acidum - Hair fall stemming from depression or after a severe illness. Hair thins out, turns gray early and falls out.

Selenium - For hair loss on the body and scalp. The scalp feels painful when touched.

Calcarea Phos - hair falls in bunches upon combing

Vinca Minor - falling of hair with great itching of scalp.

Weisbaden - useful for most types of hair loss.

The chosen remedy can be taken in 30c potency, thrice daily for 2 weeks. For dosage, please see manufacturer’s instructions.

If there is good improvement, continue with the same remedy for another 2 weeks, but reduce to twice daily. You can stop treatment after 1 month when good results have been achieved.

If there is no improvement or if you have any long-term conditions, it is best to consult with a qualified practitioner.  If you want to consult with me, please check out my online consultation service at www.AllswellHomeo.com.

I wish you health and happiness…….

Recently, one of my friends had an ectopic pregnancy. She underwent surgery to remove the unborn foetus, and had to lay in bed for a few days to recover. Fortunately, my friend has 2 children, and was able to overcome her depression and sense of loss quickly.

My friend is in her mid 30s and is highly accomplished in her field of work. She  had been under tremendous stress at work over the past few months. So when her periods got delayed, she attributed it to stress and did not even realise she was pregnant.  

When she spoke with me, she was wondering why she had an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy even though her previous 2 pregnancies had been very smooth.  She actually confided in me that she did not even know exactly what “ectopic” pregnancy meant. I explained the female organs, their functions and the menstrual and ovulation cycles to her. 

That got me thinking.  How well do women really know their own cycles - on a general level, do they understand what happens in the female cycles, and on a specific level, are they in touch with their own bodies?

I did a quick survey of some female friends, and it appeared they did not really know what happened within their bodies. Unless there was a problem, they did not actually bother to find out.  This was very surprising to me. 

We females spend time and money in looking good, we read fashion magazines, we gawk at pictures of actresses and models with perfect figures and perfect skin, yet we do not know much about our own bodies.

My view is that only when we understand the miraculous gift that our body is, can we work with it to achieve perfect health. After all, this is the only body we have - shouldn’t we give it some respect?

I am certainly not suggesting that every woman should take a biology course (anatomy & physiology), but understanding our cycles can go a long way towards maintaining great health using natural means.

There are millions of websites out there that explain the female body. I particularly like the books by Dr. Christiane Northrup, a physician who supports and recommends natural means of achieving perfect health.

Her all-time classic is “Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom”.  My second favourite is “The Wisdom of Menopause”.  Check out these books at Amazon.com. They will serve you well.

Hello everyone

In my last post, we saw how women build up high levels of stress in the quest for “superwoman”-dom.  Today’s post, although not directly related to health, shows how we can manage stress by taking small steps.  I hope this will inspire you to apply this idea to your life.

To your best health!

Set Realistic Goals

by Mac Anderson

For all of us there are times when we’re overwhelmed. There is too much to do, and too little time to do it! This, of course, causes stress; and we all know…stress is not good!  When I was a freshman in college I learned an unforgettable lesson.

I was having a rough week when there was a lot to do and very little time to do it. I was overwhelmed. I panicked. That night a friend stopped by my dorm room. When I told him my problem, he said, “Mac, I’ll share something with you that my grandmother told me a few years ago. She said to always remember: ‘Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.’” 

I said, “Bob, here I am drowning in work and your lifeline is a quote from your grandmother. Come on!” After he left, however, those twelve little words kept dancing in my head.

I took out a piece of notebook paper and listed all the things I had to do in the next three days. That night I began knocking them off one by one. Three days later I took out that paper and marked through the last thing on the list. It felt great! And then I took out another piece of paper and wrote down the words: “Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.” I then folded the paper and put it in my wallet. As many of you know, I’ve been collecting quotes ever since.
