Week 1 lesson 7 Roundup

Summing up for groups of remedies

Week 1.

Aconite, Apis, Arnica

Aconite – Always have the imaged of the surprised baby when I think of Aconite. Great for shock, I have given it after car accidents or similar horrible surprises. When a cold has come on suddenly after a blast of cold air.. Think of Aconite. Also used for fear of flying, fear of a crowd or fear of death. This was used in Christchurch for fear of earthquakes.

Apis – not just great for bee stings but a whole host of things that involve redness and swelling. Also with burning – allergic reactions. If you don’t have an Epipen when someone is having a severe allergic reaction then give Apis.

Arnica is the most famous remedy and known for its help with bruises. Did you know how they found out about Arnica? Sheep on the hill story. It helps blood to be the best it can be, that is why it’s so useful. The person who most needs Arnica, will tell you to leave them, they are fine.

These three remedies are great in emergency situations. Don’t forget, after you have helped out at an emergency, you might need Aconite to deal with that massive adrenaline rush.
