For years, I was convinced Homeopathy couldn’t work. One day, on my way out of a yoga class in a studio I never usually went to, I saw a blue box on the counter. I don’t know what drove me to ask the receptionist what it was but somehow I just knew I had to try it.
I’d been suffering with repeat cold sores and chesty coughs each month and although the antibiotics helped in the short term, they kept coming back each month, and seemed to be getting worse each time. I was in my early 20s and getting quite demoralised that my health was so poor. I was regularly having to take time off work and often cancel social events – I’d had enough and was willing to try something new!
In the blue box was a guide to the 18 remedies included, and one of them said it could treat cold sores. I gave it a go – and I could tell pretty quickly that it was healing. Each month it healed a little quicker and within about 4 months, I stopped getting the cold sores altogether… I was amazed!
Later, when away for the weekend with friends, one of the children was suffering from terrible earache. The parents tried the usual painkillers but they didn’t seem to be doing anything – I suggested they try one of the remedies in the kit. Within half an hour, the child was doing better and the parents decided they no longer needed to go to hospital.
I could go on… With each new remedy I tried, I didn’t expect it to work. So many people say they use Arnica all the time, but don’t believe any of the other remedies could possibly work, I can understand why they think that, I thought that once too.
For long-term health issues such as indigestion, IBS, asthma, anxiety, menstrual imbalances etc, you should really see a Homeopath as it’s likely to need more than one remedy. However, I genuinely believe every household would benefit from having one of these little kits to hand for minor ailments, they really do make your life easier and i expect you’ll find they improve your energy levels and your resilience to disease longer term too!
Here are my favourites kits:
1. Helios basic 18 remedy kit £32 – great as a first kit to learn the basics
2. Helios 18 remedy childbirth kit £32 – perfect if you’re pregnant
3. Helios 24 remedy pet kit £38.50 – ideal if you have a pet in your life
4. Helios 18 remedy A&E kit £32 – handy to keep in the car for any incidents, particularly if you have small children that can often have little injuries when you’re out and about
5. Helios 36 remedy Travel kit £46.50 – a great gift for the intrepid traveller in your life
5. Ainsworth 42 remedy Essential kit £60 – the guide in this one is the most comprehensive and contains the most remedies – if you’re ready to commit to using homeopathy regularly at home, this kit is the one.
NB: there is plenty of overlap in the remedies in each of these kits as each remedy can cover so many symptoms. However, the guide is the key to explaining the symptoms that are most common for pets, or in childbirth for instance.
