For example - Coffee would cause a person who doesn't drink coffee regularly to be jittery, nervous, even panicky - Coffea Cruda - homeopathic coffee can be used to treat those same symptoms. How does it work? Well, this is where it gets a little strange , and this is why homeopathy gets such a bad rap - because when laboratory tested, it seems as if nothing is there except the base - either alcohol or a milk sugar tablet. So, for the skeptics out there, I don't blame you for being skeptical. But, I have used them and they do work. What's in it? It is the essence or energy of the herb that is added to the base, by long periods of shaking the base and the herb together. If you think about it - herbal oils are made by leaving herbs sit in olive oil for a month or two, and the flavor is still there in the oil, when you remove the herb - it's kind of the same idea. The herbal properties are still left behind, though the herb does not remain. Because the amount of herb is so minute, it is safe for pregnant moms, babies, and small children as well as everyone else. To the side are some of my homeopathic resources. Explore it for yourself! |
