Travel back in time with me to the summer of 2019... it was a hot summer day where a group of school moms gathered together over a meal to share our hearts with each other. Two fellow mommas knew of my health struggles over the past 20 plus years and how I longed to be healthy. They shared with me about a study group that they were in and thought immediately of me because I needed this in my life.

As a wife and young momma with four small children in tow, I made all the excuses I could for why I couldn’t move forward with what they had shared because I had been burned by other medical paradigms.  I did not have time to join a study group or learn something new. My time was not my own. However, curiosity got the best of me, so I asked to send me a link, a blog, a podcast, or whatever so that if I had time I could learn more about what they were talking about. Needless to say, I was very skeptical.

In the nooks and crannies of the days that preceded that, I found time to learn more about what my friends had shared with me. I was quite intrigued as I had never heard of anything like it before. 

Do you trust me?

On a Saturday afternoon, my beloved husband was helping to fix one of our children's broken toys. The tool slipped, stabbing him in the fleshy part of his hand under his thumb. I ran to my computer to look up a blog (just like this one!) that I had read just hours or days before that talked about puncture wounds. I wrote down the information I needed and checked in with him. 

“Do you trust me?”

“Of course, I do!” he replied as he looked up at me, sitting at the kitchen table, holding his hand tightly to stop the bleeding. 

“Babe, if you believe in me, I have to run to the store and will be right back with something that I think will help.”

Side note...Have you ever experienced something so profound that you remember all the details when you look back in hindsight? 

At the time, I was so unsure of myself and my abilities.  But God!  Friends, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing but felt a peace in my spirit about pursuing this natural medicine for his injury. 

Back to the story...In the pouring summer rain that was flooding the parking lot of our local natural grocery store, I ran into the store and showed the clerk my “grocery list” with names I couldn’t even spell or pronounce as it was all in Latin!  Are you kidding me?  It’s a dead language. 

Ultimately, I needed help because I didn’t even know where to find them.  After purchasing the three small items and returning home through blinding rain, I asked my husband again, “Do you trust me?”

“Of course, I do!” he replied again, still holding his hand tightly.

“Babe, I have no idea what I'm doing!” I reiterated.

However, The LORD’s timing is perfect, and God brought this information to me so that I could help him with his injury.  Friends, I did not even know how to open the tubes.

Homeopathy heroes

Right then and there, I used homeopathy for the first time to treat my husband’s very acute injury that should have led us to the emergency room.  Instead, I alternated Ledum palustre 200C, Hypericum perforatum 200C, and Arnica montana200C as needed aka SOS.  As his symptoms improved, we decreased the frequency of dosing until the wound was very much better, and he no longer needed it.  However, if there was nerve pain that came back, we would have started back with the Hypericum 200C, for example.

Ledum is a beautiful for puncture wounds and to prevent infection. 

Hypericum is wonderful for preventing infections and nerve damage/pain.

Arnica is the #1 premier homeopathic remedy for first aid and trauma, which was the definition of what he had experienced. In addition, it is great for bleeding, bruising, and swelling. 

These three remedies are ALWAYS with me in my purse as they are so valuable for a plethora of things that our family may experience or witness when we are away from home. 

So...what happened?

Five years later, I am elated to report that Babe never saw a medical professional or had to go to the hospital or emergency/urgent clinic.  He has had full and complete use of his hand with ABSOLUTELY no damage to his nerves, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. 

Needless to say, I was a huge skeptic when my friends told me about homeopathy. 

However, NOW my interest was piqued...I had to learn more about this natural medical paradigm called homeopathy. 

What I did not know was ...

1.      How to pronounce the remedies’ Latin names.

2.     How the numbers and letters related to anything.

3.     How to open the tubes to access the white little balls.

4.     How the medicine was even going to work for his injury.

5.     How surprised and amazed we would be at the end by the success we had.

What I did know was ...

1.      I had a husband who trusted me.

2.     I had a peace about using these natural medicines.

3.     I had two friends who were learning homeopathy and encouraged me.

4.     I had my God-given instincts as a woman, wife, mother, and caregiver guiding me.

5.     I had just witnessed natural medicine at work in an acute emergency situation.

Just do it!

I know you might feel scared of the unknown, afraid of making a mistake, and unsure of where to start.  Trust me, I have been in your shoes.

Jump in with both feet.  Jump in blindly. 

How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  Today, just by reading this blog, you are one step closer to understanding homeopathy.  I pray that next time you encounter a puncture wound you will remember this blog (just like I did that rainy summer day) and come back to find the remedies to help someone with a similar injury...when you do, share your story with us.  The more we share our stories with each other, the more we grow in our knowledge and remembrance of these beautiful medicines. 

Trust me...

I am here for you, just like my friends were for me.  We can do this together.  You are not alone.

This, my friends, was a huge victory for our family!  We experienced our first win with homeopathy, and we will never forget it. 

Start right now, today.  You can do it...you can learn homeopathy.  You are not too busy.  You are not too young.  You are not too old.  You are meant for such a time as this!  No matter how hard things get, there is never a perfect time. 

Because I had not listened to the doubts and lies in my head, I had done this for my beloved husband.  What a heady feeling!  I felt so empowered and overjoyed.

Praise The LORD for these beautiful natural medicines that I believe are straight from His medicine cabinet.  This was just the beginning for our family.  I look forward to sharing a plethora of other stories with you, friends.

Next steps...

1.      Read blogs.

2.     Talk to a friend.

3.     Listen to podcasts.

4.     Purchase homeopathy locally.

5.     Learn all you can about homeopathy.

6.     Join one of Elizabeth's upcoming study groups.

7.     Stop making excuses...take that first elephant bite!  It is so deliciously rewarding.

Don’t leave home without homeopathy!  Trust me, you will thank me.

Soli Deo Gloria!
