What Is In My Little Red Box?

No, it’s not a pop-out at you Surprise Box or shortbread cookies like it appears. But I’ve chosen to use this sturdy Costco cookie tin to store my most commonly used medicines right in my kitchen for quick access.

Do you desire to be able to take care of simple health concerns, most emergencies and first aid problems that strike your family? To be capable of choosing the correct medicine to give on the way to the emergency room or better yet, avoid the trip altogether?

What I share today is part of the wonderful array of homeopathic treasures I’ve come to trust to assist our bodies to heal themselves. Unlike pharma meds, homeopathy works with your body, never forcing your body to do something.

They are all simple yet successful tools that are very inexpensive and safe for all ages when the remedy fits the symptoms. Even if you have to go to the ER for some emergency, nothing you read about here will interfere with the doctor’s meds. Homeopathics do not have side-effects. How is that possible? Because Homeopathy is based on Provings and the Homeopathic Law of Similars. This is in contrast to conventional drugs that are selected because of their chemical or suppressive action on a human body. Pregnant women can use homeopathy to help with pregnancy and labor when other medications are risky. (source)

Today, I will stay with the remedies we use for ourselves and show you how to tailor a little stash for yourself based on your own individual needs. And since most homeopathy comes in little pillules (pellets), I will also show you how (for those we take several times daily) I make them up into tinctures to extend your supply so you never need to run out.

What Is In My Wonderful Box?

1. I’ll start with those my husband and I use daily.

[You may remember that I’ve recently been devastated by the revelation that the drug Lupron, taken for my 3 infertility procedures years ago, has destroyed my bones and even the oxygen-making capability of my bone marrow, so I have that to address. I wrote about and show my spinal x-ray here. Because of this, I have chronic anemia, fatigue, and more. God had already gone before me and shown me the most amazing support made from His creation, and I am still living a very full life at 72.]

PS I am not an affiliate for these products but have linked them so you can read more about them and their dosage.

• Bone Strengthener

• Fatigue

• Adrenal or Multiple Glandular (which contains adrenal)

• Blood Tonic (for Bone Marrow and Anemia)

• Renal Drops (an nice array of kidney supports) or Kidney Soham Special (comprehensive kidney support)

• Testosterone 6x (more motivation, focus, builds/preserves muscle mass, counteracts estrogenic influences. My husband takes these daily without being reminded!

2. I Keep These In My Box For Occasional Use

[for my family and local friends (bites and stings, accidents, allergies), bronchitis and respiratory/sinus flares, over-worked sore joints, back pain, sciatica, etc.]

• Nerve PainCombo and Injury Combo (everyone would do well to have them on hand at all times. Can be administered together at the same time. Safe for all ages. Stopped my horrendous sciatic pain in 2 days, and it has never returned!)

• Stress/Anxiety (grief, sadness, etc. – continued untreated stress causes physical health problems)

• Allergy Combo

• Insect Allergy Relief – 1st aid treatment for insect bites and stings.

• Histaminum – a homeopathic antihistamine instead of dementia-inducing Benadryl

• Lung Combo, Upper Respiratory, and Sinus (Together or separate, these have rescued me so many times during my long-covid (gagging) cough and over-all congestion. They allow me to breathe much better for hours, and they work fast! Can be administered together at the same time. Safe for all ages.)

• Infection Soham Special is now my go-to to get ahead of an early sinus infection or the occasional bout of pneumonia. For this company, you need to login to order.

3. Other Possibilities For Your Medicine Box

• Hair Growth Combo or Hair, Skin & Nails Combo

• Headache – can be used for a wide range of headache types

• Menstrual – (PMS, PMS headaches, cramping, hormonal imbalance, irritability, etc.)

• Bowel Combo (for irritable bowel (IBS), colitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and bacterial imbalance) (one of my consulting patient’s favorites!)

• Menopausal Combo (vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, hot flashes, night sweats, water retention, hormonal acne, headaches, fatigue and irritability)

• Ear Ringing Combo (for tinnitus, loud noise damage and aging)

• Fever & Inflammation (for children’s fevers; family illness; or adult inflammation)

• Thiosinaminum 30. I write about amazing thiosinaminum here.

You can always take the pillules directly into your  mouth, but you can make them up into tinctures or use the glass method to extend your supply so you never need to run out. Literally.

I Like the Dropper Bottle Method

1) 2 ounce amber dropper bottles are available online.

2) Put 3-4 little pillules (dispensed without touching them, straight into the bottle cap and then into the dropper bottle).

3) If this is for an adult or older child, I add vodka at 40% of the volume in the bottle (I use vodka for all my herbal tinctures, so I also use it for my homeopathic bottles). The last 60% added should be distilled water. I use a funnel for this. The alcohol acts as a preservative to avoid growth of mold and bacteria, so the liquid can last for many months at room temperature. The less ratio of alcohol to water, the sooner the liquid will need to be replaced.

4) Shake the bottle vigorously before each use. The remedy is now ready to be used.

5) Take 2-3 drops as a dose. Take away from food, at least 10 minutes before a meal or snack.

6) Please use a different dropper bottle for different remedies.

And The Glass Method

1) Put 1 pill (dispensed without touching it, straight into the bottle cap) and drop it right into a glass filled with 1/3 of purified drinking water.

2) You do not need for a remedy to dissolve to use it. It can be used straight away.

3) For adults and older children, take 1 teaspoon as a dose when needed.

4) For babies and toddlers, a few drops from the spoon will be enough; don’t worry about the quantity, the amount of liquid is not important in homeopathy.

5) Store the remedy, covered, in a cool place or in the fridge. It will keep like this for 2-3 days.

6) This liquid can also be put in an empty plastic or glass bottle to take in the car.

7) You can use combination remedies in the same way, that is okay.

The following guidelines apply to home-prescribing for simple, self-limiting complaints. (source)

• Low Potencies: 6C and below
• Medium Potencies: 30C and 200C
• High Potencies: 1M and above

Lower potencies such as 6C cover a wide range of symptoms, so are ideal if you are not certain that you have chosen the best remedy for your symptoms.

Higher potencies need to match symptoms more precisely if a curative response is to be triggered. As a general rule, the higher the potency, the longer the effect. A 6C potency may need to be repeated every 1 – 2 hours for a brief period before symptoms improve while a 1M potency may only have to be given once. (source)

I think combination remedies are underused. There is plenty of evidence in literature and clinical experience that combinations work well, and each remedy works independently but works in harmony, supporting other remedies.

EMFs from our phones will completely annihilate them at as close as 10 inches, so when traveling, carrying them together in a purse is not a good idea w/o an RFID blocking bag like mine below.

Here’s the list of my first aid kit remedies, dosage for acute care, and a visual guide to laminate.

Homeopathy is a better way than drugs:

Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature’s protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time.” ~Daniel. H. Kress, M.D.
