Arsenicum Alb.

 

Last year I had a new patient, Chris, who had chronic hay fever - every second day for the last three years he had relied on an antihistamine and he felt at a loss, as he had exhausted other modalities. He also had bouts of diarrhoea and an oversensitive stomach, alongside some deeper feelings of not being enough and ‘imposter syndrome’.

Chris was prescribed Arsencium Alb in a fibonnaci homochord as a classical homeopathic prescription. After 6 weeks he had complete relief from his hayfever and had not relied on an anti-histamine for 4 weeks. He also had more energy and was sleeping better.

This is just one of the many examples of Arsenicum, and how it can be a transformative homeopathic medicine when there is the physical and emotional tendencies towards hay fever, anxiety and exhaustion.

Arsenicum is one of the most powerful homeopathic medicines for allergic tendencies and anxiety is Arsenicum.

It’s also a must-have first aid remedy for gastro, food poisoning and diarrhea.

Arsenicum is included in my First Aid Kit.
