Homeopathic Remedies

I am a homeopath with over 15 years' experience. One patient was told she would have to have knee surgery in the near future due to osteo-arthritis in the knee. This was several years ago now and no surgery. She has been taking Ruta 6c once a day. She enjoys walking with no knee problems. She also has regular constitutional treatment which keeps her immune system strong.

Kirsten, thanks for all you input on the homeopathy. I found it interesting that you can keep the remedy going but I'm not quite sure what you mean about keeping the remedy going if you already have it mixed with water. I'd appreciate a little bit more info.

I bought some homeopathic medicine from the health food store, so this is not a home remedy, but it prevented a vet trip with meds, so I thought I might pass it on. My 7 yr old lab started acting sick, then her BM was pure water, so I looked for homeopathic medicine, and found Podophyllum Peltatum. For humans it would be 5 pellets under the tongue for diarreha, but I crushed 5 pellets and mixed it in her food. I did it twice. Within 24 hours, she had a almost normal BM with a lot of dead long worms. It was disgusting, but I am guessing they were intestinal worms. 24 hrs later she is back to normal. Before giving it to her, I looked up the ingredients on line, and it said the medicine used to be used for worms, but I did not know she had them. I used to give her garlic on a regular basis, but I kept reading stuff that said garlic was not good for dogs, so I quit giving garlic to her, without replacing it with something else. I am glad to read on your site that many folks still give their dogs garlic, I will start that again. This was the first time I bought a homeopathic medicine, and it worked so quickly, I was so grateful. Not too expensive, about six bucks for 80 pellets or so. I will keep it on hand for emergencies. Thanks for your great site.

Thanks, Natali. It sure is nice to have folks on EC that can inform me on how to use homeopathic remedies.

Wouldn't Arnica Montana be dangerous after surgery due to the blood thinning characteristics?

Hi THealth: The name of the remedy is Rhus Toxicodendron in 6c. You can get at vitamin shoppe, whole foods, etc for $6-8.

The one I have is Boiron brand and they offer strengths of 6c and 30c. One of the strengths is better for general issues, and one better for local. I forget which is which. but they have books at the store where I bought mine, and I did my reading for a time before narrowing it down to this one. For this ailment the 6c was recommended.

Stretches and massage do work wonders too. I do hope she starts to feel improved.
