Help for a Sprained Ankle

If you have sports in your life, this definitely is one for you!  I sprained my ankle recently, and I healed it rather quickly and easily using mostly homeopathy.  That helped me quickly get back to my full-time responsibilities and, more importantly, living my fullest, highest life.

Of course, sharing is what I do, so the day-by-day follows the video, and a printable PDF gives you a handy, fileable reminder of the basic how-to.

DAY 1

The first thing was to pour my Arnica Spray on it–that’s Arnica 200c dissolved in water.

Then I took Arnica 1M as well as the Sprains & Strains combination, which contains Arnica 200, Rhus Tox 200, and Ruta 200.

It became clear that I needed the higher potency of Arnica, so I ended up using only Arnica 1M for Days 1 & 2.

I kept my leg elevated and as immobile as possible, wrapped my ankle, and I did not ice it.

DAY 2

I continued to use Arnica 1M as dictated by pain, wrapped my ankle, and kept it elevated most of the time.

I also went to the chiropractor, because it felt like a bone was out of place.  She found two bones out of place and set them back to their allotted positions.  That did bring some extra relief, and I was glad I had gone in for the adjustment because I felt my body had one less point of healing to accomplish on its own.

That night, I realized that I had not put any further topical treatment on it so I used my First Aid Spray, which contains Arnica as well as Calendula and Hypericum 200c.  I used that because I had it handy.  Given an easy choice, I would have used only the Arnica topically.

When I awoke in the middle of the night to help my daughter, I realized on my way back to bed that I had walked and not crawled to help her — and that I felt fine!

DAY 3

So, I was surprised to awaken in the morning and feel pain again.

Fortunately, I realized that the X Factor here was the topical, so I used that again starting on Day 3, to great effect.

Knowing that two days on the Arnica 1M was sufficient, I forced myself to quit, even though I was a tad worried because it had helped so incredibly with the pain the first two days.  I thus switched at that point to my Sprains & Strains combo–200c of Rhus Tox, Arnica, and Ruta, both internally and externally for one day.

I was surprised on Day 3 to be able to bear weight on my ankle and to be able to flex it.  My husband, who played a lot of soccer and thus suffered his fair share of ankle injuries, was amazed to see me flexing my ankle already.  I was mighty pleased myself.

DAY 4

I switched to only the topical application of my Sprains & Strains combination.  I find that the 200c topical lasts 24 hours per application, so I stuck with that.

About the Topical:  I used a topical application that I made in olive oil, but you could also use the remedies in water [and in lower potency, more often], if that is what you have on hand.  You could add a few drops of oil to your water to help it ‘stick’ to the surface of your skin, too.  If you would like purchase a topical preparation from me, that’s available too.

I continued to improve.  So did my ankle ;].

DAY 8

I began tapering off my use of the topical to every 2 days, then as needed.

Voila!

Your path to complete enjoyment is clearly marked, and it states the following:

Remedies for February 7-14, 2016

We are gifted with a message today from Archangel Michael, to carry us through the week and beyond.

Begin every moment with an awareness of blessing, for you all are blessed beyond present knowing, in ways you fail to comprehend or even recognize.

This is where true momentum is gained in life–in these inner places of complete knowledge of self, of being complete as you are, of the beauty which comprises your very life.

This may be no surprise to some of you and it may strike others as completely false.  Your future does not depend on the adequacy of your understanding:  Time will make that so for each and every one.

The task at hand is to bear witness to the truth that God has placed on your heart, the knowing that will set you free.

That truth is the beauty of who you are, just as God made you to be and to serve.  And so it is.

Love invites/Fear repels

Imagine for a moment, the cells in your body are able to react and respond to your emotional choices; they do so by communicating with each other; love invites communication and awareness, fear/anger repels dialogue creating confusion and distortion, often causing damage and or separation on a cellular level. I invite you to focus upon […]

Messages from On High this week.

Powerful ones, this is for you.  This is your time, your way.  You will be surprised how things can fall into place in a short span of time if you let them.

Open!How do you let them?

Open.  Open to receive, open to the love, the light.  Open to God’s wishes for you life and and you will experience [see, feel, know] the greatest miracle of life–your miracle.  The miracle that is you, beautiful you.

Show me–is there any greater achievement than the beauty of being yourself in all your great glorious goodness, as God created you to be and intended for every blip of your life?

This is it.  The time has come.

Be you.  There is no one better.

Messages for Healing January 25-31, 2016

Your healing is ready for completion; you need only make a few more choices in the direction of love, for it is a constant state of love which permits the greatest gifts.

Your choices now should be careful, steady, and about beginning anew with renewed purpose, enlightened understandings.

Make no mistake that your efforts yield rewards in due proportion.  They are not simply doled out unwittingly, of course.

But you have put forth the effort.  You have made the careful, considered choices.  You know now who you are and how you stand tall.  So it is in thy hands that we place this goodness, these riches of joy, peace, love, togetherness.

This is what we truly seek, and in so doing this is what we do find.

Peace be with you!

Peace

Quick Tips, that stuff that's going around

Current Stomach Bug

A wee stomach bug seems to be making its rounds.  Depending on health, its manifestation may be horrendous or slight.

PodophyllumFor those seeking to treat this unkindness in the body homeopathically, seek help from podophyllum.

You will know you can benefit from podophyllum if your eructations are bilious or otherwise disturbing.  You might simply feel nauseated or loose stools present themselves and unnerve.  This presents itself in remarkable contrast to the great flood of stool and vomit at the other end of the spectrum.

A little remedy in some water will have you feeling remarkably better in no time.  Sip at it like it is hot tea; your body will know what to do from there.

Moving Past Fear

There are so many ways to move past fear, and so very many levels of fear.

If a low level of fear is keeping you from doing something that you know is right for you, that you know in your heart you should do, consider this technique shown to me by Spirit this week:

Imagine the scenario that gives rise to the fear in you.  Imagine it unfolding in the manner that you most fear.

Now repeat, repeat, repeat.  Repeat until you imagine it unfolding in a manner that doesn’t bother you–or, even better, it unfolds in a manner to which you respond positively.

Rigid Mucous Cough Relief

One of my most surprising homeopathic learnings this year was of the value of the remedy ipecac for respiratory issues.

Unfortunately, I learned of it from my naturopath when my son suddenly had trouble breathing during a bout of croup.  Homeopathic ipecac 30c had him breathing reasonably well by the time we made it to the emergency room [though we gave him the recommended chest x-ray and steroid anyway…then we dealt with the side-effects of those interventions homeopathically!].

When I called to order more homeopathic ipecac 30c from the pharmacy, my intuition told me to buy a big bottle, and I thought, “uh-oh.”  Indeed, there are coughs going around that would benefit from homeopathic ipecac.  These are phlegmy coughs, sometimes with a hoarse voice, where there is either wheezing or difficult coughing from super tough mucous in the throat.

Boericke’s Description of the Respiratory Afflictions that Benefit from Homeopathic Ipecac

Homeopathic ipecac is in some homeopathic kits, and also is available at most health food stores in the handy blue vials.

Consider water dosing in sips if you have a small amount of the remedy and want to stretch it out!
