I first visited a Homoeopath for myself, albeit accidentally, when I was suffering from a form of gastritis. I was helped enormously by a few doses of nux-v.

My youngest daughter, Lucy, suffered from croup from an early age & conventional medicine helped - not. Our practitioner, Tony, had given us a few remedies to have on hand. Very early night our daughter who was still an infant, woke with the typical croupous barking cough. She was quite distressed, as were we, and had great difficulty with her breathing. We thought we may have to take her to the A&E at the hospital due to her serious condition. I rang Tony (at 1.30am) he suggested a dose of Spongia 30. While I held Lucy in my arms I got the dropper out of the bottle & put a couple of drops of the remedy into her mouth. Almost instantly the colour of her face changed from a pale bluish hue to pink, she sighed and fell back asleep within a minute. I was astounded at the result.
