7 Homeopathic Medicine Cabinet Must Haves!
“Homeopathy is a medical system based on the belief that the body can cure itself. Those who practice it use tiny amounts of natural substances, like plants and minerals. They believe these stimulate the healing process. It was developed in the late 1700s in Germany.”
I feel like it’s important to be honest here and say I’m not one of those brave and radical people that never go to the doctor or seek medical attention when something ails me. I will say, however, that I will exhaust homeopathic and holistic alternatives before ever resorting to western medicine.
Most times, I have found, if I do this, I eliminate the need for a doctor after a few days. Of course, there have been exceptions where I found I really did need to go in. I've even had instances where I benefitted from seeing a doctor so that I could determine exactly what was wrong with me, thus giving me valuable information in knowing exactly how to target it with homeopathic medicine.
That all being said, listed below are my seven favorite homeopathic must-haves.
1. Colloidal Silver
“Silver, which occurs naturally in mushrooms, whole grains, water and mammalian milk has been used for centuries to safeguard human health. For over 125 years, colloidal silver has been used in countless applications. Bio-Active Silver Hydrosol has represents the ultimate refinement of colloidal silver. Due to its extraordinary finesse and energy, Sovereign Silver may be your most effective tool to maintain, sustain and support your immune system in an ever challenging and changing environment”
Many people think of Colloidal Siver as natures antibiotic. They prefer it as it is believed your body does not create natural resistance to it like it would traditional pharmaceutical antibiotics. It is available in various application packagings such as nose spray, for use with sinus issues, a spray bottle, to treat throat issues and to be sprayed on cuts or scrapes, and, most commonly, in a dropper bottle, which people use as a way to measure and take internally.
Linked is my favorite brand and the brand most trusted by everyone in my social circle. I’ve had fantastic results from this products and highly recommend it for your medicine cabinet. I use it as the first line of defense before resorting to pharmaceuticals.
2. Elderberry Syrup or Crystals
Elderberry Syrup and Crystals provide a burst of antioxidants and are believed to supercharge immune support when seasonal issues strike. Elderberry Crystals can be taken daily to help maintain a healthy immune system or at the first sign of seasonal symptoms.
Most of my mommy friends swear by Elderberry for their little ones during cold and flu season or when first starting the school year.
It’s super simple to take and has a pleasant taste. I take at the first sign of a cold or allergies.
3. Echinacea Extract
This is my favorite brand of echinacea extract and the one I have had the most success with. It also happens to have the best taste of the varieties I have tried. There are certainly more expensive brands but I don’t find in this case you need to spend more.
Echinacea extract is a serious immune booster and is fantastic to take any time you feel your body could use a little support.
4. Probiotics
Probiotics are something I take every single day without fail. This isn’t entirely necessary for most people but I no longer have an appendix so I’m to understand it is recommended. Essentially probiotics aid in creating healthy gut flora. The more good bacteria we have, the less bad bacteria can cause damage. They are notorious for help keeping away tummy bugs but are known to have a whole host of benefits ranging from skin health to digestive aid.
5. Magnesium Spray
This may be my favorite homeopathic recommendation! Magnesium spray is what I use as a natural pain reliever. I can spray 5 pumps on my forearm and within minutes my backache or headache will disappear. It’s also wonderful for nausea, migraines, muscle and joint pain, mood stabilization, digestion, and acts as a sleep aid!
The brand I use and like best is marketed toward pregnancy but there are many brands to choose from so if you’d like to try something different I recommend looking around and reading reviews.
6. Vinegar
Vinegar is fantastic to keep around! Applied topically it will disinfect cuts and scrapes and even make quick work at irradicating yeast and other fungal infections. You can also take ACV with mother internally to boost immunity and act as a natural antibiotic. I won't lie though, it’s not the most appetizing taste.
7. Neti Pot
Finally, the Neti Pot. The Neti Pot is wonderful for cleansing the sinuses. This is fantastic to do when you’re having any allergy or sinus issues, have congestion, or perhaps have been exposed to some yucky germs you’d like to wash out best as possible.
There are many different kinds of pots but I find the squirt bottles like this one easiest to use.
