This isn’t just an average year for wildfires: Canadian wildfires have burned more acreage so far this year (~10 million acres) than you would see in an entire year. Wildfire smoke can rise more than 10 miles in the air and be carried hundreds of miles by wind currents. Over 100 million people are thought to be at risk for health issues from inhalation of pollutants.
The smoke has the potential to adversely affect even healthy persons. This is ongoing and will not be ending anytime soon and the fires remain uncontrolledly as of June 28.
But, do not fear! If you know how to be prepared, you can prevent harming your lungs and getting sick.
I often listen to homeopathic instructor Joette Calabrese as I’m studying homeopathy in my spare time. She just aired a very helpful 30 minute video on the homeopathic remedies to use just for this kind of event should your family be in the areas affected.
You can get right to it from 4:30 minutes on. I will outline below for you.
The 8 selected medicines Joette discusses are taken from Robin Murphy’s Meta Repertory and relate specifically to ‘being made sick from smoke inhalation.’
Please listen to the video for nuance and context on these remedies:
6:45 – Natrum muriaticum 6x (#9 cell salt) can be used preventatively.
8:00 – Carbo Vegetabilis 30c for air hunger (not enough oxygen), breathlessness, petrochemical pollution every 15 minutes for the first hour, then every 3 hours. For acute symptoms of emphysema (or serious respiratory symptoms that correlate), use Carbo veg 200c more frequently, as needed, and then taper off with improvement.
11:15 – Arsenicum album 6c is specific for burning in the nose, throat, or eyes.
13:00 – Euphrasia 30c – any eye irritation, swelling, burning, lacrimation (tearing of the eyes), allergic reaction in the eyes or sensitivity from smoke, euphrasia is specific for that.
14:25 – Arnica montana 30c for humans and animals being exposed to toxins and for injuries where you feel beaten up (pain or achiness in chest).
16:30 – Natrum arsenicum 200 for someone super sensitive to smoke (someone who can’t be around bonfires) and very dry or red eyes – used when nothing else is working.
20:00 – Bryonia 30c for the respiratory tract and lungs in general. A heaviness in the chest, trachea, pain the sternum or R shoulder. Where one is obliged to sit up to cough. Also for headache assoc. with smoke inhalation.
23:45 – Spongia 200c where there is a barking cough or croup (the sound of a ‘seal barking’) from deep in the chest (with anxiety).
When taking homeopathics:
Don’t touch the pellets; just tap the 3-4 pellets into the cap and toss them into a ‘clean mouth’ away from food or drink for 15 minutes either side. Suck or chew them and don’t just swallow them.
What’s In Wildfire Smoke?
The Scripps Institution of Oceanography did a study in 2021 that found wildfire smoke is up to 10 times more harmful to humans than other types of pollution, like car exhaust, because of the abundance of PM2.5 particles.
The American Lung Association categorizes wildfire smoke as a mixture of pollutants, including carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas has been shown to reduce oxygen delivery to the body’s organs. Also particulate matter, like PM2.5 in smoke (ultrafine particles of toxic gases including lead and other metals) is tiny and has no trouble reaching the deepest parts of your lungs when inhaled, including the alveoli that absorb oxygen and enter the bloodstream. (source)
It’s believed that the current exposure to wildfire smoke is equivalent to smoking 3-11 cigarettes a day, depending on where you are.
What are Signs & Symptoms To Watch For?
Minor symptoms of exposure to toxic smoke include eye irritation, headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat, and sinus congestion. Effects on the lungs and heart are much more concerning.
The Environmental Protection Agency said these pollutants cause lung complications, like:
◾ Bronchitis, increased congestion and phlegm
◾ Reducing lung function, difficulty breathing, dizziness
◾ Exacerbating asthma attacks, coughing, sneezing
◾ Worsening lung diseases, decreased oxygen levels, chest pain
In those exerting themselves physically, poor air quality also may cause heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and strokes.
8 Tips To Protect Against Wildfire Smoke
1. Keep an eye on the US Air Quality Index map and health warnings relating to smoke. If severe, leave the area till it is safer to return.
2. If you’re told to stay inside, keep doors and windows shut. In hot weather, run the air conditioner, but CLOSE the fresh-air intake and check to see if filters need changing. Turn on an air purifier that is equipped with a HEPA filter which removes fine particles from the air. We own the Molekule air cleaner.
3. We use this cellular detox as maintenance for all the constant pollution. These days, hundreds of thousands are detoxing with a nano-zeolite called Advanced TRS. These stories from real people highlight how life-giving and life-changing detoxing with TRS can be, especially for 6-12 months.
4. Nebulize glutathione. Directions and a short video for nebulizing glutathione are in this post.
5. Eat broccoli sprouts which produce detoxifying sulphurophane. Known to detoxify Dioxin. (A real-food, nutrient-dense diet and healthy gut lining is our best defense against ill effects from environmental toxins.)
6. Mullein herb, an effective cough and congestion buster helping us expectorate particulate before it settles in the mucous membranes.
7. Standard surgical masks are not sufficient. Use a N95 mask or higher if you must go out. (Otherwise, masking is a bad idea. See why here and here.)
8. Certain house plants purify the air. I feel they just make your home happier, too!
And what do I think is CAUSING these Canadian fires?
If nothing else, watch the first 1 minute where former U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson admits that the government is changing the climate by controlling the weather and the clouds. Learn of the document on ‘Forest Fire As A Military Weapon’. I suspect this has been part of plans for a long time.
Forest Fire As A Military Weapon
The 1970 “secret” document, Forest Fire As A Military Weapon, is a report on military weaponry which discusses the “science” of optimal burning, including methods such as aerial spraying, use of chemicals, ideal weather conditions to start fires, examples of potential target locations worldwide, the best time of year to apply desiccation treatments and the best month to burn.
Montana, Texas, Florida, California, Idaho, and other states/nations permit cloud seeding, which involves the release of silver iodide, a combustible agent, and other hazardous pollutants. Rhode Island is the first state to introduce legislation that would prohibit harmful atmospheric activities such as cloud seeding and weather modification.

Hello Jacqueline! I have been reading Jolette’s newsletters all year. She sent one talking about how one day she had like a stomach flu and couldn’t stop going to the bathroom, vomiting and all. She remembered Arsenicum Album 3 could help. Took the pellets and fell asleep. When she woke up she was all better. So after reading her story I bought Arsenicum Album 6 (couldn’t find 3) and put it in my medicine cabinet just in case. Like 4 months later I felt sick like with food poisoning. Felt terrible. I took 5 pellets of Arsenicum Album 6, and just as it happened to her, I fell asleep and woke up like nothing happened. I couldn’t believe it!!
I thought I shared because you had this medicine listed above, it can be used for food poisoning and stomach troubles too 🙂
Blessings,
Ana
Jacqueline
AnaS, thank you for mentioning that here! I now own Arsenicum alb 6c, too, just because of her testimony!
These discussions help us remember so in a emergency first aid situation, we can be decisive!
Blessings in Christ to you, friend,

Hi Jacque!
I’m not sure if it’s okay to post this here – delete if you want/need to. There seems to be a lot of evidence that these Canadian wildfires are caused by arson.
https://makismd.substack.com/p/canadian-fires-are-being-set-deliberately?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-259a86b3-256d-48f1-8b93-032cb6edf169
Just an FYI. I’m not sure how much people know about this. The Canadian parliament is trying to pass Bill S-5 (“Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act”) and some politicians are citing these wildfires as a critical reason for passing this legislation. I haven’t read the details, but it sure looks shady. It’s rather suspicious when arson is causing the environmental emergency that the gov’t “needs” to pass bills that give gov’t more control.

Thanks for sharing remedies that will help people. The real-food-nutrient-dense diet and healthy gut lining is our best defense against ill effects from environmental toxins.
Love from Canada! =)

Jacqueline
Katie, thanks for sharing this! I am sure people appreciate the option to go deeper with your links!
There are many I know who are praying for all you folks in Canada! I know I am!
Sending peace,

Katie
Thank you. There is nothing more important than praying. What blessings await those who ask/seek/knock! “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Won’t that be a glorious day when His will is done on earth in all places at all times? Wow!

My interest in homeopathy was kindled because my son’s eczema. Though I heard that homeopathy has some occult practices/roots… I read a few articles on this topic and none was quite conclusive. Did you look into this? Do you happen to have any trusted sources that you can point me to in order to clarify this question?! Thank you
Jacqueline
Hi, Adina, I get that question pretty often. As a firm bible-believing Christian, I am alert to the concerns, some which I also had years ago.
I consider homeopathy is a scientific modality, and though some like to attach their new-agey ideas/beliefs to it (or focus on the fallenness of the early pioneers), I look at the plants, minerals and animals the remedies are made from as a gift from our Creator (Christ).
Here is my reply to one commenter:
“I look at homeopathy from a medical standpoint. I associate nothing in it with witchcraft or sorcery like I DO with the chemical, synthetic drugs (pharmekeia) of today which are killing people right and left or making their quality of life far worse (and often closing them off to our Savior). In this post is a video on the studies that show their efficacy and how they work. There is nothing about them that is mystical. I would challenge you to continue to seek the Lord and pray about it after you watch it. https://deeprootsathome.com/homeopathy-for-my-family-colic-bladder-infection-grief-more/
I believe if it was of the world, the world would embrace it. Instead the modern medical world hates it and does everything it can to make it look quack, despite the fact that it works wonderfully for children who can’t possibly have a placebo reaction.
Anyway, I respect that we can have different opinions and that we can agree to disagree. This doesn’t make me feel defensive in the least, or angry.
God has given us his gift of plants, minerals, and animals for out our use, and I praise Him for them and what they can do to help his children! His ways are higher than ours, and we cannot understand all he has done in the invisible world – which is quite a lot!
Thanks for hearing my heart.
Sending peace and grace,
Jacque
PS: the video in this post is helpful and is completely focused on the medical aspects (which is where I prefer to camp). Glad you felt free to ask! Blessings! ~J
Adina
Thank you for the time you took to reply to my comment! I will take a look at the video you did link! God bless you

Hi Jacqueline, Do you happen to have a listing for Christian Homeopaths? There doesn’t seem to be any way I can find to search online for them specifically. I know they have to be out there somewhere! Anyone you recommend?
Jacqueline
Hi, Ivy,
I know of quite a few, but most won’t advertise that way, if you know what I mean. If you have something straight forward that needs addressing and want a recommendation, I can help, but in finding someone, the best way is to call and ask/talk with them to see if you feel they really are a true believer. I thought I was a ‘Christian’ till I was 36 and the Lord got a hold of my heart! And you might ask around in your church for a reference.
When searching, I found this site for you to check out: https://rootedhomeopathy.com/
I hope that helps,
Sending peace in Jesus Christ alone,
Jacque
