Have you been wondering how September crept up on you so quickly? Maybe your children are feeling overwhelmed about being back at school? Are you returning to a hectic workplace after some downtime over the Summer? If this time of year feels busy and unsettling then it’s important not to overlook any health and wellbeing concerns.

Some stresses will only last a short while, and can be helped with some gentle support. Others can linger, and it’s better to seek professional help to address them and their underlying causes to prevent them becoming chronic and long term.

Homeopathy can support you and your children to help deal with these challenges and emotions. It’s a natural, sustainable and gentle option. It's a complete, whole-person system of medicine, and provides the opportunity to get to the root cause of mental, emotional and physical illness. It’s kind to your body and the environment.

A registered homeopath will be able to tailor a remedy to your specific needs. You can find a homeopath in your area right here at https://www.findahomeopath.org

If you prefer to try a remedy at home, you could try Calc Carb, which is often recommended when someone is apprehensive and wants to control the status quo, and doesn’t want to face change. Argent Nit can also be helpful for apprehension when someone dwells on an event and is convinced something will go wrong. Phos Ac is worth a try if you just need help re-energising yourself, especially where there is nervous exhaustion with mental weakness after a period of stress or illness.

Don’t neglect your health as we approach Autumn. This could be the perfect time to try homeopathy.

When you’re on your holidays you should be looking forward to rest, relaxation, adventure and sightseeing rather than worrying about bites and stings, sunburn, travel sickness and other common health problems. Fortunately, with homeopathy, you can be reassured that all of your holiday health needs are under control.

If you’ve never tried homeopathy before this could be the perfect time to explore it as the go to health solution for the whole family. Millions of people around the world use it as part of their daily life. It offers a genuinely sustainable system of healthcare which supports your own body’s healing mechanism in a gentle, whole person way.

Belladonna is a remedy for sunburn where there is intense redness, throbbing pain and heat in the affected area. The skin may feel dry and hot to the touch, and the person may be restless and irritable. Calendula officinalis is used when you have sunburn with open blisters, or raw, sensitive skin. Calendula has soothing and healing properties, promoting skin repair and reducing the risk of infection.

When it comes to insect bites then Apis Mellifica could be the remedy to try if the area around the sting is red, hot, stinging and puffy. If you need help with travel sickness then Cocculus prevents and removes the nausea from undulating motion.

And don’t forget about Arnica. It’s widely used for aches, pains, bruises and inflammation, and can support the healing process. It’s a useful remedy to keep in the cupboard or your bag.

It’s always better to consult a registered homeopath if you can, as they will choose a remedy to fit your individual characteristics.

Whatever your holiday health concerns, explore what homeopathy can offer.

At this time of the year during Men’s Health Week, but also throughout the year generally, our key message to all men is to seek help if you’re worried about something. Don’t assume that it’ll get better on its own, or be embarrassed, or ignore any health concerns you have. If you’ve got a friend or family member who you know avoids addressing health issues, then use this opportunity to encourage them to seek help. Early diagnosis is always best, and if there’s nothing to worry about then it’ll put their mind at rest.

Perhaps taking that first step is daunting, or you can’t seem to get a GP appointment, or get anxious in medical environments. If that’s the case, homeopathy could be an option to consider. An appointment with a homeopath will enable you to discuss all of your concerns in a non-medical environment. The homeopath will take the time to get a picture of your overall physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. They will look at you as a whole person, and give you time to go through all your concerns. Many homeopaths offer online consultations too, so you can get the help and advice you need from the comfort and privacy of your own home if you prefer.

Are you one of those people for whom the coming of Spring is a double-edged sword? Do you look out of the window excited about the longer days, sunshine and blossom, but then dread the thought of the runny nose, watery and itchy eyes, sneezing and cough that you know is to come? Anyone who suffers from hay fever knows it can be somewhere between debilitating and a daily nuisance

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

We always recommend consulting 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. You can find a homeopath in your area right here on the Find a Homeopath website.

Spring could be the right time for you to try homeopathy for the first time.

Has the glimmer of bright weather encouraged you to get out and about more? Perhaps you love to go walking, play tennis or swim? Exercise, however strenuous or gentle, can boost our energy levels, support positive mental health, and so many other great health benefits.

Remember that preparation for exercise is always recommended. Stretching, warming down and not pushing yourself if you’re not used to it will help ensure that you avoid any niggling sprains and strains. 

However, that’s not always possible, as accidents do happen. If they do, then do seek professional medical advice if you’re concerned. PRICE therapy is good advice to follow. Protection - protect the injury. Rest - stop any exercise or activities. Ice - apply an ice pack. Compression - wrap a bandage around for support. Elevate - keep it raised. Homeopathy is an excellent option to use alongside this. It’s a gentle, natural form of medicine that’s used by millions of people around the world to support their health and wellbeing. It will support your body during the healing process and help to get you back fighting fit as quickly as possible. 

You’ve probably heard of Arnica. It’s widely used for aches, pains, bruises and inflammation, and can support the healing process. It’s a useful remedy to keep in the cupboard. There are many others though, and a registered homeopath will tailor a remedy to your specific requirements.
