It doesn’t have to be a heatwave for you to make sure you’re prepared for Summer. Whilst temperatures have been especially high this year, even more moderate temperatures can present health challenges. Take special care with children, the elderly and vulnerable. 

Start by doing the obvious. Keep hydrated and drink plenty of water. Use sunscreens or sunblocks. Try to spend time in the shade during peak heat times. And cover up with loose fitting clothes and wear a hat and sunglasses. Hopefully, these things will help you stay safe and protected in the sun.

However, that’s not always possible. There’s always a risk of sunburn or heat exhaustion. That’s when homeopathy might be worth trying. It can help the healing process. It’s an holistic system of medicine that stimulates the body's own healing mechanisms. Remedies are tailored specifically to the individual by a registered homeopath. You can find a homeopath in your area right here at findahomeopath.org.

However, if you prefer to try a remedy at home first, there are a number of commonly used remedies for sunburn. Belladonna is a remedy for sunburn where there is intense redness, throbbing pain and heat in the affected area. Calendula has soothing and healing properties, promoting skin repair and reducing the risk of infection. It’s not just sunburn though. Homeopathy can help with a wide range of health issues during the Summer and throughout the year.

Remember, if you start to feel unwell and your symptoms don’t improve, always seek emergency medical attention for severe sunburn. or when it’s accompanied by symptoms such as blistering, fever, chills or extreme pain.

Stay safe this Summer!

Do the longer days and warmer weather make you want to be outdoors more? Does this time of year make you feel like a good walk, a bike ride, or other more strenuous outdoor pursuits? Whatever you get up to, remember that there’s always a chance of picking up injures, ranging from sprains and strains, to bruises, so better to be prepared.

Fortunately, homeopathy offers some really helpful options for both adults and children alike. If you’ve not heard about homeopathy before, it’s a natural, sustainable and whole-person medicine which treats you as an individual. It supports the body’s built-in healing mechanism. A registered homeopath will look at all of your symptoms, and recommend a suitable homeopathic remedy. If you want to try homeopathy, book a consultation with a registered homeopath in your area right here at www.findahomeopath.org.

Maybe you’d like to give homeopathy a try at home first? If you do, there’s a wide range of homeopathic remedies which are commonly used for sprains, strains and other physical activity related injuries. Bryonia is used for inflammatory and painful conditions that come on slowly and are worse for any movement. Rhus tox could be the right option for swollen joints from over-exertion, tearing pains in tendons and ligaments, or stiffness in limbs. And don’t forget that Arnica is great for bruising and pain from injury and trauma.

Whether you decide to go and see a homeopath, or want to pick up a suitable remedy from a health food shop or homeopathic pharmacy, homeopathy is the essential go to solution for these every day injuries. Give it a try.

You might think it’s too early to be talking about hay fever, but if you’re a sufferer you’ll be very aware that March is when the pollen season is just beginning. The improved weather means that low levels start appearing. If you’ve been unfortunate enough to have suffered from hay fever in the past then you’ll dread the thought of the runny nose, watery and itchy eyes, sneezing and cough that is to come. Anyone who suffers knows it can be somewhere between a daily nuisance and debilitating.

Now’s the time to look at options for managing it this year. Don’t wait until you start to experience symptoms. What have you tried in the past? Has it worked for you? 

If you’ve had no success with medicines you’ve tried before, then homeopathy could be an option to try this year. It’s been used successfully by millions of people for hay fever. 

There are a number of remedies that you can try. Arsen alb is one of the best remedies for hay fever, where there is burning or itching in the nose, eyes or throat. Allium cepa and Euphrasia are also widely used where there is lots of sneezing with streaming eyes and nose.

However, homeopathy is an individualised medicine, so it’s always better to consult a registered homeopath if you can, as they will go through your medical history and symptoms, and prescribe a remedy specifically tailored for you personally.

If hay fever is a blight on your life, or if you suffer from allergies more widely throughout the year, then Spring could be the right time for you to try homeopathy for the first time.

When we talk about wellbeing what do we really mean? The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as “the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy.” It’s certainly more than just the absence of ill health, and is determined by social, economic and environmental factors.

It’s about how we feel about ourselves and our lives, and is influenced by physical and mental health factors. This, in turn, has an influence on our experience and the outcomes of different health conditions, which is why we should strive towards improving our wellbeing.

Homeopathy offers a whole-person approach to support your mental, physical and emotional health, which makes it ideal for anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing. It can enhance the body’s built in ability to tackle disease. 

A registered homeopath will look at you as an individual, and not a person with lots of symptoms, and will tailor a remedy specifically for your own circumstances. Find a homeopath near you right here at www.findahomeopath.org

Have you, friends and family made resolutions for the new year? Do you do the same every year but fail to stick to them? Perhaps you’ve already given up!
