I am a registered homeopath and bioenergetic practitioner with offices in Kingston, ON. I graduated from the Canadian College of Homeopathic Medicine and am an active Full Class member with the College of Homeopaths of Ontario. My desire is to support and help individuals, young and old, who are active participants in their health, using homeopathic medicine together with Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE), and lifestyle coaching.
ARNICA: Arnica is the most impt Rx to take following any shock or major physical trauma. Many women shake after giving birth – take 2 pellets of Arnica as soon as the baby is born and this will relieve that sensation. Arnica acts on the muscles and blood, it assists in giving relief from the bruising and strain of birthing. It will act to control bleeding and prevent hemorrhage. Arnica 200c - 2 pellets per dose. 1 dose every 2 hrs on day of birth ~ every 4 hrs on day 2 & 3 ~then cut back and take as needed every 6-12 hrs for bruising, sore muscles or aching pains.
BELLIS: Rx for internal bruising to organs and soft tissues. Active babies or twins can cause internal bruising, as well as general trauma from giving birth. Taken after birth to help the body heal internally, think facia, tendons, ligaments and organs. This is helpful for anyone that had a cesarean birth and has bruised sensations internally while urinating or moving. Bellis 200c - 1 dose every 4 hrs on day 1 & 2 then on day 3 and onward use every 6 hrs as needed for bruised feeling internally, tenderness, esp. in the abdominal region.
CALENDULA TINCTURE: an excellent antiseptic as well as a healing agent for the skin. Used internally (Rx 30c/200c) it will help any incisions or tears to heal smoothly and infection free. Externally it may be placed directly on open wounds, cracked, dry nipples, incisions etc. It will soothe and heal any trauma to the skin. If used on the breasts it must be thoroughly removed before nursing. 10 drops in 1/2 cup water 2-3x/day.
HYPERNICUM: Affinity to head, nerves & spinal column. If any trauma to back during labour, i.e. back labour, forceps delivery, or an epidural, then this is an important Rx. Hypericum is suited in injuries in nerve rich areas ie. episiotomy pain & healing. Hypericum 200c - 1 dose every 4-6 hrs day 1 to 3. After that take as needed for lower back nerve pain or headaches related to your epidural
If taking multiple Rx, alternate them so that they are 1-2 hrs apart. Cut back when the symptoms subside.

Like Cures Like or the Law of Similars is something you will read or hear when associated with homeopathy. When a homeopath understands your body and matches it with their clear understanding of the remedy, your immune system will respond and move towards healing.
This common remedy example is timely as the mosquitoes are in abundance this year. Apis is a fantastic remedy to help with the itching,swelling and irritation of a mosquito (or other bug) bite.

This may seem simplified, and it is! Consider your wellness and health journey.
Why do you have allergies but your partner doesn't?
Why do some experience migraines and others high blood pressure?
Why do some struggle through menopause, or are infertile, while others easily have babies and don't know what a hot flash is?
Our bodies are complex and when a homeopath takes the time to look at the details of YOUR complexities and see where you are stuck or experiencing dis-ease, you experience gentle and safe healing.
We work together with your primary care physicians and other health care providers. Homeopathic medicines are safe to take with your current medications.

Meet Jennifer: Exhausted, overwhelmed, and burnt out from a job gone bad in Toronto. Bursts of anger, can't sit still, poor appetite, weight gain and offensive body odour. After first Follow-up (week 4) she is already experiencing increased energy, improved sleep, able to take moments of solitude/rest daily, and no longer having outbursts of anger with her children. This is a great start and the response I expect when starting a chronic homeopathic remedy for overall burn-out. (name is changed for privacy)
