Homeopathic Arsenicum: Learn About This Powerful Remedy

Learn about homeopathic Arsenicum and how this powerful remedy can help you and your family with a variety of health related issues.

It’s that time of year again. The dreaded stomach bug is making its rounds. If you are like me you have heard stories of family and friends being infected. One by one family members succumbs to invisible bug with the power to bring us all to our knees…usually on the bathroom floor, hugging the toilet.

There is nothing worse than that feeling of nausea or stomach cramping that accompanies a stomach bug. The constant trips to the bathroom, not sure which end of your body something will be coming out of first! And if it’s both ends at the same time, then let’s just curl up on the bathroom floor and wait it out. Thankfully with homeopathy we don’t have to just wait it out, there is hope.

What is Homeopathy

If you are reading this and are new to homeopathy I encourage you to read my article introducing you to the Basic Principles of Homeopathy. Since discovering homeopathy, I have never felt more confident as a wife and mother in caring for my family. As a homemaker and the caretaker of our homes we want medicine that is safe, effective and powerful.

When dealing with sicknesses that involve vomiting and diarrhea the medicine that I am sure to have on hand is homeopathic Arsenicum. Read on to learn more about this powerful remedy.

What is Arsenicum Album

Arsenicum Album is made from the metallic element, Arsenic. Many of you may already know that Arsenic is a very poisonous substance in its original form but when it is diluted, succussed and prepared homeopathically, the healing properties are quite endless.

What are the Benefits of Arsenicum Album

Arsenicum Album is what is known as a full body remedy or a polycrest remedy. Arsencium has the ability to signal within the body that there is a problem with a foreign substance or some type of poison in the body. When these signals are received through homeopathic medicine it begins to work to bring homeostasis back to the body as quickly as possible.

Arsenicum Album is used for a range of physical and emotional symptoms. It is commonly known to address digestive issues, anxiety and weakness. However homeopathic Arsenicum is definitely not limited to only these types of conditions. It is a powerful remedy that is able to address a variety of conditions in the human body

Common Issues Homeopathic Arsenicum Can Help With

If someone is suffering from the stomach flu or food poisoning homeopathic Arsenicum is the first remedy that should come to mind. Often the symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea. When is is obvious that the body is trying to expel something that shouldn’t be in it this remedy can definitely prove beneficial.

Arsenicum Album is one of the most used homeopathic medicines. The list below covers some of the prominent signals of someone in need of the remedy Arsenicum.

• Digestive Issues
• Anxiety and Restlessness
• Infections and Fever
• Skin Conditions
• Fever and Weakness

Observation is Key in Homeopathy

When using homeopathic medicine, observation is key. When someone is sick or suffering from a condition it is important that the caretaker takes notes of all symptoms/signals, no matter how insignificant they may seem. In your study and practice of homeopathy paying attention to the small details may prove to be the very signals that lead you to the right remedy.

Often times when sick we talk about symptoms but a more appropriate word to use would be signals. Our body produces signals when we aren’t feeling well and are indicators as to what the body needs to heal. It is our job to pay attention and listen.

I love this terminology especially when using homeopathic medicine. We aren’t suppressing the body’s signals, we are using the homeopathic remedies to offer guidance and direction to the body in order for the body to come back to homeostasis and heal itself. This process is a beautiful design by our Creator.

Homeopathic Arsenicum for Food Poisoning

We know that homeopathic Arsenicum is made from Arsenic which is a poisonous substance. Poisons cause a variety of negative effects in the body. These signals are important to consider when using homeopathy because in homeopathy “like cures like.”

Let’s talk about food poisoning. This can occur from eating a bad food that is rotten or going bad.  Often the symptoms that result from these situations will be extreme vomiting and diarrhea. These are situations to consider the remedy Arsenicum.

Homeopathic Arsenicum for Travel

I personally consider Arsenicum Album a very important remedy to have on hand when traveling to foreign countries. I personally love to travel, but I definitely don’t enjoy getting sick while traveling. While in other countries we encounter a variety of different bugs and bacteria which can easily mess up our digestive systems. I suggest always having a bottle of Arsenicum Album on hand when traveling internationally…I promise you will thank me later!

Does Arsenicum Interact with Conventional Medicine

No, Arsenicum does not interact with conventional medicines. This is the great thing about homeopathic medicine. It is a gentle and effective form of medicine that works in the body without side effects or interaction with other medications.
