These breastfeeding remedies are the best! I used milk flow with my third child and had so much milk I could even express some! My first two children I had to take medication, ate heaps of milk cookies and still supplemented with formula.

It's a very special time between mum and baby, so let's not let little niggles get in the way. Natural support is only a couple of sprays away!

Research: Homeopathy for Ear Infections
Last reviewed on July 11, 2022

Have you ever had an ear infection? If so, you’ll know the urgency of treating the pain and inflammation as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, homeopathy has the answer – even during the dead of night. All you need is a little knowledge of the basic remedies traditionally used by homeopaths for the problem.

Common earache remedies
Aconite napellus (Acon.)
Useful in the early stages of an ear infection, especially following exposure to cold, dry air. Rapid onset of symptoms. Intense symptoms. Person is restless, thirsty, anxious and sometimes frantic. Ear sensitive to touch. Worse at night, especially between 12-2am.

Remember: Rapid onset; intense symptoms; restlessness; anxiety; thirst; worse after midnight.

Belladonna (Bell.)
Often the right ear. Sudden onset of intense pain that may shoot or throb. Bright red ear or ear canal. Glassy eyes or dilated pupils. High fever. Often with headache. May become delirious in sleep, with nightmares. Hot head with cold hands and feet. Prefers the dark. Better for sitting rather than lying. Pain worse with light, noise, cold air, or being bumped.

Remember: Rapid onset; intense symptoms; redness; often right-sided.

Calcarea carbonica (Calc.)
Earache or glue ear that follows colds. Child is usually obstinate, pale and pudgy with a large head that sweats easily, especially during sleep. Anxious on thinking about unpleasant things. Often craves eggs and sweets or is sensitive to milk.

Remember: Obstinate; timid; pudgy; sweaty head or neck (in sleep).

Chamomilla (Cham.)
Unbearable pain. Anger and impatience with the pain. Demand many things but push them away when offered. Can’t be pleased – nothing will satisfy. Cannot be comforted except by being carried or rocked briskly. One cheek red, the other cheek pale. Earache may occur with teething. Worse at night and for warmth.

Remember: Cannot be pleased; anger and impatience; better when carried briskly.

Hepar sulphuris (Hep.)
For chronic ear infections rather than in first stage. Ear is extremely sensitive to touch of any type and cold air. May cover head or lie on affected side to keep ear warm. Pain often sharp like a splinter. Irritability or tantrums. Thick discharge from nose or ear smells like old cheese. Pain worse at night. Remedy may be needed to finish a cure started by Mercurius solubilis.

Remember: Older infection; irritable; sensitive to cold and touch; ‘old cheese’ odour.

Kali bichromicum (Kali-bi.)
Sharp, stitching or stinging pains. Intense itching or tickling inside ear. Thick, yellow and foul smelling discharge, often stringy. Irritable. Sweaty. Feels cold.

Remember: Itching; stringy or offensive discharges; sweaty; irritable; chilly.

Mercurius solubilis (Merc.)
For chronic ear infections rather than the first stage. Often right sided. May be discharge of pus that will be thick, burning, and have an offensive odor. Pus usually green though sometimes yellow. Thirsty. Bad breath. Salivation. Perspiration. Tongue flabby with imprint of teeth on edges. Glands or tonsils may be swollen. Sensitive to extremes of temperature. Pain worse at night.

Remember: Older infection; bad breath; flabby tongue; salivation; offensive discharges (if present).

Pulsatilla (Puls.)
Clingy. Seeks sympathy, company, and reassurance. Ear pain worse at night and in a warm room, better in open air. Worse for warm applications. Little or no thirst. Changeable moods. Thick, yellowish-green, bland discharge from nose if a cold is present or from the ear in advanced stages.

Remember: Clinging, desires sympathy and comfort, thirstless, worse for warmth.

Silicea (Sil.)
Difficulty in hearing that often improves with blowing the nose, yawning, or swallowing. Discharge of blood and pus. Smelly discharge. Dried crusts within the ear canal. Itching. Children bore their finger into the ear. Head sweats during early sleep.

Remember: Itching; difficulty in hearing; sweaty head in sleep.

A note of caution on antibiotics
The pain from ear infection and inflammation often starts in the middle of the night, limiting conventional treatment options – and should you eventually obtain some antibiotics, you might be in for a disappointment. Recent research indicates they are no more effective than simply waiting for the infection to pass.[1]

Research: A safer and more effective alternative
Four studies showed that homeopathic remedies relieved earaches and infections, and worked faster than antibiotics. Symptoms improved rapidly, often within hours of the remedy being given and without the introduction of new problems. One of the trials also showed that children whose earaches were treated with homeopathy were less likely to have their infection return.[2] [3] [4][5]

So what can you do in the middle of the night?
With a simple range of homeopathic remedies – all found in basic homeopathic home-use kits – a lot of pain and discomfort could be avoided. Parents and carers could learn to safely treat many simple acute problems such as ear infections, even in the middle of the night – and families would get a lot more sleep.

Some of the common remedies for earaches and ear infections are listed above. A link to instructions on how often to give a homeopathic remedy has been placed at the end of the list.

If you are unsure …
If none of these remedies seem to suit you or your child’s symptoms, please see a qualified homeopath for a better-matching remedy, and if there is any indication that the problem is more than just a simple ear infection, please see a healthcare practitioner for further advice.

OUR PETS DIET - AN OBSTACLE TO CURE?

Dr Lyn Thomson from Raw Essentials spoke about her views on diet and in particular, raw food for animals. Lyn explained that the food our pets eat may become an “Obstacle to Cure” in their overall response to treatment and general health. Lyn drew our attention to how trends have changed dramatically in the food choices we make, not only for ourselves and our children, but for our pets and the animals we care for.

The processed foods that most people feed pets is a relatively new trend; long before the introduction of canned and dried foods, cats and dogs survived unaided by humans. Cats and dogs, historically gained gained all the nutrients they required through consuming raw meat and bones, and by ripping and tearing at such food, they were able to clean and floss their teeth while they ate.

Lyn recommends a species appropriate diet as essential to the health and wellbeing of every animal.
While canned and dried foods are practical and convenient for pet owners, they also introduce grains into their diets. Cats and dogs struggle to digest grains and they don’t require them as they get all their energy from protein and fat. Many of these foods are also easy to chew and swallow, meaning cats and dogs don’t get the same dental benefits as a natural diet.

Lyn presented cases of animals whose health issues were varied and ranged from skin problems, gum disease, allergies, gut and digestive issues, cystitis, and arthritis. Many animals with these issues frequently display dramatic improvement after changing to a species appropriate raw food diet. Recent research confirms this trend and attributes many of the illnesses seen in cats and dogs today to low quality, biologically inappropriate commercial pet food formulas.

Feeding cats and dogs raw meaty bones as close as possible to their natural diet resolves many health issues and provide maximum health benefits. Lyn and the team at Raw Essentials offer pet owners uncooked meat that is both seasonal, and in the case of possum meat, has the added bonus of protecting our forests.

NOTE: While raw food diets are great for your pet, please ensure that you are purchasing diets that have been well tested and say that they meet AFCO requirements. While making your own diets can be more affordable, our pets do have many nutritional requirements that are not thought about. For example, did you know that wolves in the wild will eat berries? Things like cranberries can help to prevent cystitis.

Very good question!

So true

Did you know that homoeopathy is not only effective and risk-free, but also the GREENEST form of medicine on the planet? Tiny amounts of original undiluted substances, purified water and naturally fermented alcohol is all that is needed to make thousands of doses of homeopathic medicine. Furthermore, no animal testing is done in homoeopathy. This means that homeopathy’s impact on the environment is minute.

NITS!!!

Our household recently had the dreaded experience of nits! It was first noticed in my daughter then we all suddenly became very itchy. Not sure if the other three in the house actually had them but we all went through treatment. I knew of a few homeopathic remedies that were known to help but I had also heard of essences working well. While my husband uses homeopathy, this was an area that he said “get the chemicals.” I couldn’t think of anything worse than putting terrible chemicals on my daughters head so I told him I did (nothing wrong with a bit of a fib).

I did a bit of research into essences and found that most were recommending tea tree oil mixed with a bit of lavender and added to a base of something like extra virgin olive oil. So I did this: 6 drops tea tree oil with 4 drops lavender mixed into 20ml extra virgin olive oil (the oil designed for essences, not the grocery store stuff, although this might have worked just fine.) I put this on my daughters head then wrapped it with plastic wrap and used my unicorn shower cap for a bit of style on top. We left this for 3 hours (recommendation is minimum 3 hours and up to 8!).

After the 3 hours was up we went to the shower and washed it out. We then applied conditioner and combed through her hair with a nit comb. I couldn’t believe the numbers of nits falling out of her hair, and some of them were so big! She had only started complaining of an itchy head and yet they were out of control! I gave her Staphysagria 200c morning and night for 1 week which is a remedy known to get rid of nits. I also applied tea tree oil, 1 drop, behind each ear for 2 weeks. Luckily we managed to get rid of our problem. The rest of the family used tea tree oil behind the ears for the 2 weeks and nothing else. Fingers crossed we never have this problem again but knowing how my daughter likes everyone elses hair accessories, we will be doing this treatment quite often!

Great poster!

This is a great remedy for all our anxious pets around fireworks!

It's that time of year again that can often be more fun for us than it is for our furry companions. Be prepared. Supporting pet during times of stress, anxiety and fear. Has calming and settling properties.

Now this remedy I have used several times! It will be used a lot more with Christmas and New Years coming!

Hope everyone had a great labour weekend, rugby aside. Often the long weekends and various holidays lead to overindulgence in varying degrees, so be sure to have Digest-med in your first aid kits. It assists the body’s response to digestive disturbances and overindulgence while supporting normal healthy bowel function, so we can get back on track in no time.

Great turn out at Foxton Spring Fling! Would be better if the wind was gone but still a good day.
