anyone up for a homeopathy/flower essence thread? - Page 54

Hi all!

Can anyone recommend an essence that would be useful for feelings of rejection (first stemming from parents).  I can't seem to find anything in the Bach line.

Thanks wise mamas!

wow, i love this thread.  i was active int he beginning and now i pop maybe annually and sometimes post abt how i want to share my story with mamas who'll understand but.. it has never been the right time i guess. 

where to start?  i guess physically we are a family with "allergic symptoms"  food allergies digestive issues and all that goes along with it.  our family consists of me dh dd1 8y.o. and dd2 5.5. y.o. and ds almost 3.

we have been very blessed and had alot of healing with homeopathy for me and my girls.  Although my dd 1 always had mild symptoms of digestive distress, it was always int he range of what ppl ususlly see and her pedi never really knew what to say or do abt any of it.

when my  dd1 was 3 and dd2 9 months i was tandem nursing and dh had an over seas business trip coming up (we live in israel).  i tried not to stress him with grocery shoping and got by on tuna and vegetarian face b4 he was leaving, i was not well nourished and i am sure i had alot of stress going on and i got sicker and sicker untill i had a stiff neck and then very advanced breast infection.  my mil came to stay with us to take care of me and then she had to go back to work and my mom flew in from america.  eventually i was convinced to toake abx.  and my breast that was infectied still has scar tissue or something that can get inflamed by stress or hormonal changes.  it is no longer soft and mushy.

during that time i weaned dd1.  then she fell off the bed and got a huge bump on her head.  my mom and i freaked and took her to the emergency room.  they wanter her to stay there for observation and they wouldnt let me and dd2 stay with her so my mom stayed with her.  the next day she came home had skim milk for the first tim (instead of whole)  and had diarhea. that wouldn't go away. 

as you can see this trip of dh's/period of time was tramatic in many ways.

i started dd on elimination diets which i knew abt from dh who had been on a candida diet previously and had a year earlier gone back on it shortly after a period of work and extended family stress.

dd1 improved slowly but not enough and i started to look for a homeopath.  the first woman gave her nat sulph i beleive.  it was something sulf and it was related to pulsatilla.  But her health improved from her acute ailment but emotionally and physically she was greatly weakened and not the same and the woman wouldn't call me back i could only speak to her secretary and she was from a city 2 hrs away and only had office hrs in our town every 2-3 weeks and well... i found someone knew.  who helped dd a great deal gavee her calc c. and aconite and those both helped parts of the picture but then the homeopath decided she was a pulsatilla type and my dd is very strong willed and it just didn't seem true to me.  so them my dd got very sick and iafter alot of reading and thinking i decided to give her silica.  And it all got better.  FOr the next few years i would give her silica when ever she needed it.  i'd know b/c she'd start askingto have a day off from school and then get an eye "infection" or whatever you want to call it. 

My dd2 has more food restrictions than dd1 and had a speach delay and a few other alarming symptoms b4 going off gluten.  I would treat her halucination ear ache night waking episodes with beladona very well and occationally she would get a chamomilla ear ache in the day but i never knew what her constitutional remedy was.  Untill 2 summers ago she got impetigo.  I looked up the main remedies for impetigo and read materia medica for them and decided that sulphur best suited my dd and her specific case.  Well, she took it and the impetigo improved and her hyperactivity disappeared.  Gone.  I said i guess this is her remedy then.  What Divine Providence!  Just like with my dd1 when i found the best similum for her accute ailment, it turned out to treat her whole person.

But my dd2 is very delicate in someways and i didnt want to do what i had done with dd1 and go up from 30 to 200 etc as each potency stopped working and so.  About 6 months after i first gave her the sulphur.  I started my 2 dds on the LM secquesces for their remedies.  I have seen major changed in both of them they are both beautiful and resilient girls.  And  I know this is very different from what is normally done - not treating your own family.  BUt i never set out to treat them, just perscribe for an accute ailment.  But we have acheived so much more.  I had taken dd2 to a homeopath a few times too but his remedies never had any effect on her.  (dd1 is no longer taking her remedy but dd2 is still taking hers)

My story is similar i saw dd1's 1st homeopath she perscribed me sulphur which i get, i might be a sulphur but it didn't work so quick and i wasn't satisfied with it.  the homeopath who i took dd2 to also perscribed me silica.  I AM NOT a silica.  and it made me feel sick anyway.  so i decided to take phyto lacca.  i had always felt drawn to it and the stiff neck that preceded my mastitis was consistent with the remedy and sso i took it for a while and my breast got much better.  i'd say all better, but when lactation amenorhea ended my breast would enflame with every period.  After my son was born, I started to get mastitis and took phytolacca 200 right away.  I cant describe how good i felt.  I was so happy.  So i decided that it was time to stop messing around and go to a "real" homeopath.  i went to someone who had given birth with my midwife the same week as me.  she doesnt tell patients what she perscribes them, the irked me to no end (and i din;t know this till after the whole long interview with her.)  anyway, she gave me something maybe it was even a placebo.  it was only a few weeks after i had taken the phytolacca and i still was on such a high.  Anyway.  i followed her instructions untill the no telling thing just became to much for me too infantilizing and i went back to phytolacca.  took it for more than a year with great results and wonderful realizations about myself all the time going up the scale.  I went up to 10m.  then when i tried to get 50m the pharmacis gave me LM1  not exactly what i asked for.  i figured it out.  And eventually ordered CM from a further farmacy.  but my symptoms, back aches, ringing in the ears and breast inflamation stubbornly returned.  andi decided i am not doing this alone anymore.  The potency is just too high. 

I looked to flowers and had some wonderful results with cerato.  I recently started working with a woman who does some sort of intuitive healing.  I feel like if i had really applied and internalized the realizations that bubbled up when i took the phyto lacca, the symptoms wouldn't have come back but  i have things that i need to learn.  So now i am working really hard on knowing that i am valuable and good enough not b/c i am perfect or saving the world or b/c I have some really speacial quality but b/c i am me and trying not to let the external events and thoughts influence my sense of self worth and like wise trying not to have expectations of the world rather practive accepting everyone for where they are at.  When i am on top of it my life and my marriage are so much better.  I am much happier with myself but i still put my expectations on the outside world to an extent that it effects me negatively and this is dificult. 

My dh had his story too but i feel i have shared enough for now.  Mirzam and Panserbjorne I have learned so much from both of you  thanks alot, and thanks for the opportunity to share my experiences.  Peace.
