Taking too much of a remedy can produce proving symptoms… always take remedies under guidance of a qualified homeopath.

Provings - another cautionary tale to continue this topic: The mom of a 4-year-old boy who had been under my care on and off for a while contacted me complaining about a drastic change in the child's demeanor. "He has become excessively concerned with cleanliness, wants to dress immaculately, combs his hair neatly and tidies up his toys all the time. I don't think that's normal for a 4-year-old boy." I agree and said: "I think he might need Arsenicum album, they are noted for being overly neat and meticulous," whereupon mom said: "Oops, I've been giving him Arsenicum 30C every other week for the past 4-5 months to help prevent Covid." Bingo, he got a proving from only taking Arsenicum 30C once every other week. Mom stopped giving it and he was back to being a normal 4-year-old in short order. We need to respect these remedies! Any similar stories please feel free to share, this is all about education here :)

Study: Arnica and UV Damage
A published in vitro study demonstrates that ultra-diluted Arnica montana 30C significantly reduces UV-induced genetic damage in bacterial DNA models, outperforming other potencies tested. While conducted on microorganisms rather than human cells, these findings highlight homeopathy's potential to support cellular repair mechanisms against ultraviolet radiation effects—relevant for skin protection and recovery. Explore the research details and its implications for homeopathic practice.

There seems to be a theme right now, flu, coughs, colds and FEAR. I find life easier when I am empowered, but when I feel disempowered or listen to fearful media.

Here is some information on fevers and Paracetamol...and NOTE: this is not an anti-paracetamol post... 🤓

Your baby/child is hot, upset and grizzly and not eating. You go into that ‘do something’ mode. You reach for Paracetamol (aka Calpol, Tylenol)

Paracetamol is often described as a medications that ‘treats’ a fever.

A fever is the body’s healing response. 💥

Heat (fever) helps slow down viruses and helps immune cells work faster. 🔥

It’s an INTENTIONAL HEALING response.

Paracetamol doesn’t remove the virus. It suppresses the fever via. the brain, lowering your child’s temperature set-point.
So the temperature comes down.

The immune system is doing it’s best to deal with the virus...in the meantime, the Paracetamol must be detoxified by the liver.

This is normal biology, as the body can’t have a ‘toxin’ hanging around, whatever the medication.

One of the liver’s key ingredients for detoxifying Paracetamol is glutathione.

Glutathione is one of the body’s most important antioxidants.

It helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports immune balance.

When glutathione is being used up, there are ‘trade-offs’. A young child’s glutathione levels are on the lower side already, as the body is still developing, including the detox system.

There is temporarily less glutathione available for other jobs, such as managing inflammation and supporting recovery, whilst ‘mopping’ up the Paracetamol.

Meanwhile, if the immune process has not managed to deal with the virus sufficiently, the body may raise a fever again, or the fever just lingers, or comes and goes....
..because the body is still doing its work, it is dealing with the ‘threat’ aka the virus.

Understanding what the body is doing is empowering. It provides a sense of ease.

Why not allow your child’s fever to run its course, providing your child with plenty of cuddles, skin-to-skin contact, fluids, sleep/rest, soothing stories, soothing tone?

And see how she/he goes.

If you use Paracetamol, so be it, no judgment. Making informed choices does not mean it has to be black and white; it is about understanding your choices.

Tomorrow in part 2...

Have you considered other options...to support your child’s fever in response to a pathogen?
