What would you say are the top one or two (okay, or three) homeopathic remedies that you keep in your medicine cabinet, and why?

arnica

hyland's teething tablets

bryonia alba

The first two are pretty self-explanitory lol, the bryonia alba works on my headaches.

Arnica
Calme Forte (great for helping you sleep after a marathon birth when you are all amped and delirious from sleep deprivation yet still can't close your eyes and sleep)
Las Vegas Mix ( a homepathic allergy remedy specific to the allergies you get living in Vegas)

Tea tree oil is about all I have at this point.
Humphry's #3 Teething Tablets are a godsend too.

TTO is awesome, it's a great healer.

I use arnica for bumps and bruises, Rescue Remedy for lots of things like anxiety (I also carry this in my birth bag in cream form), poison ivy remedy and many others based on need.

Lavendar saved me during pregnancy.

We use a lot of arnica around here (ointment and tablets).

Definitely Arnica!!!! Oh the trauma....quiets them instantly
Belladonna for fever, but I've used it only a few times
Ledum for bug bites
Chamomille tablets for the grumpies

I still love my Arnica!

DoulaCindy · 11-05-2008, 01:58 PM

Not sure these fall in the homeopathic realm.....but I keep these on hand:

Emer-gen-C (pink lemonaid flavor is my fave)--I take these to births with me for a pick-me-up, and we use them when a cold is beginning or when someone else in the house has a cold and we don't want to get it.

Echinacea (also to improve the immune system)
Colloidal Silver (for pink eye, strep throat, and colds)
Tea Tree Oil (for bug bites and various skin conditions)

I have Rescue Remedy but I keep forgetting I have it!

ARNICA-many homeopaths say it is the "first response" remedy for any physical trauma

STAPHYSAGRIA-great to have on hand for cuts of any kind. Boerickie's Homeopathic Materia Medica even specifically says it is for "Sphincters lacerated or stretched"!

HYPERICUM-for any kind of puncture wounds or nerve injury. Great for after any kind of dental work!

and I know this is 4, but if you have kiddos in your house:

CHAMOMILLA-for teething...awesome stuff. And is really great for all kinds of mental irritability.

Arnica #1.

Both pastilles/oral and topical gel because it helps the booboo not to hurt so bad and makes the bruising less severe.
Teething tabs when I have teething babes for sure. Or distress remedy if they're not teething. Becasue like arnica, it helps take the edge of painful booboos and works great for mom too.
Stress tabs!

I love my stress tabs! When I need them they are life savers. Although I don't need them often thankfully!
Gee, why'd you limit it to 3???

Ya'll know that homeopathics are different from essential oils and herbs right?? Just checking.

I'm sure, but any of the three is okay to mention. It is the HHH Forum, but I just bumped Yvonne's thread which read homeopathics. So from this point forward - What are your top Herbal, Homeopathic, or Holistic remedies you love?
