Christmas Homeopathy Survival Kit

At last! Christmas is upon us with an opportunity to soak up some festive fun and cheer – Hooray!

Admittingly, it looks a lot different this year.  In the midst of this pandemic, we have the added stresses of missing out on friends and family gatherings, not seeing loved ones, coping with financial stress and trying to be vigilant about our health.

Then we have the usual niggly problems that often arise during the festive season – those that unfortunately won’t just disappear because of Covid-19!

• There’s the physical and emotional stress as we overextend and exhaust ourselves as we try to create the perfect day.
• There’s the pressure of shopping, coping with the cold weather conditions and perhaps dealing with feelings of sadness or loneliness too.
• And let’s not forget overindulging in food and wine which can wreak havoc on our digestive system.

For these type of situations, Homeopathy can help bring rapid relief on a number of levels whether for acute periods of physical discomfort or for emotional distress.

Below I’ve listed my top homeopathic remedies to help ease you through the holidays and I’d recommend stocking up on for Christmas.

Christmas Homeopathy Survival Kit

1. Overindulgence

Nux Vomica – For symptoms that arise after overindulgence and excess in food, alcohol, tobacco and coffee. The person suffers from headaches, indigestion, nausea and irritability and symptoms are worse in the morning or after eating.

Arsenicum – For symptoms of diarrhoea, vomiting, cramps where you suspect food poisoning.

2. Stress & Anxiety

Argentum Nitricum – Anxiety from worry that it won’t work out – What if the turkey burns? What if the electric goes out? What if the gifts don’t arrive on time? There is a great sense of urgency, hurriedness and worrying about everything with sleepless nights of tossing and turning.

3. Sleep problems

Coffea – Sleeplessness from excitement. For the kids who just can’t sleep in anticipation of Santa’s arrival.

4. Anger and resentment

Staphysagria – If you are feeling angry and resentful and are suffering in silence, or have difficulty saying no but feel walked over, then this is an excellent remedy to help verbalise things or process your emotions.   Pent up emotions can also be accompanied with urinary tract infections where this remedy fits the symptoms.

5. Colds

Aconite – If caught at the early stage, nip those colds in the bud that come on suddenly after exposure to cold dry winds or getting chilled.

How to prescribe in first aid situations

Prescribing for first aid situations should be administered in accordance with the laws of homeopathy.
