Homeopathy with Alex, Gillingham (2025)

Kali Phos is a wonderful support for all of us tired-but-wired ones.

It can sometimes be confusing to prescribe because it’s available both as one of the 12 tissue salts and as a homeopathic remedy.

🌸 Kali Phos as a tissue salt: gentle, daily nerve support, especially during times of study, worry, or recovery.

🌸 Homeopathic Kali Phos 30c+: reaches deeper when there’s been a nervous system crash, grief, or long-term burnout.

I’m planning to share lots more on Kali Phos (and the tissue salt dilemma!) soon in a blog post…
Comment CRASH below if you’d like me to send you the link when it’s ready.

Happy home prescribing 💛
Alex

Argentum Nitricum: Silver nitrate |Anticipation Anxiety | Unsteady Nerves.

Arg Nit craves certainty so intensely that anything new, unexpected or unknown feels like a threat to the whole system (think; dentists appointments, exams, public speaking, relatives visiting).

You might become shaky, dizzy, bloated, panicked, nauseous or unsteady… your mind racing ahead and your body struggling to keep up.

The arg nit state can show up as:

✨ IBS, migraines, vertigo
✨ Ulcerated throats, laryngitis
✨ Bloating, diarrhoea, hypoglycaemia
✨ Panic attacks, fear of losing control

It’s as if your body is betraying you. You crave control, but your system is so finely tuned to your surroundings that your inner world turns into a chaotic, erratic and highly nervy racehorse.

The more you try to hold it all together, the more your system rebels with shakiness, instability, and exhaustion.

At its core, Argentum Nitricum is about the loss of inner certainty.
When overwhelm takes over, the boundary between mind and body starts to dissolve.

This is such a beautiful remedy to ease an overstimulated nervous system, making space for calm, grounded confidence to return.
Retuning you to a steadier frequency.
⸻
You might Compare:
Phosphorus • Arsenicum • Pulsatilla • Lycopodium •Thuja
Bach Essences: Cherry Plum, Aspen, Rock Rose
⸻
For acute situations (sudden and intense flares):

🌼 Argentum Nitricum 30c: ‘as needed’

For ongoing anxiety: It’s best to work with a homeopath one-to-one, for individualised homeopathic support.
⸻
I’d love to hear your Arg Nit stories in the comments…

Tarantula Hispanica: the Spanish spider, wound up like a coiled spring… you never know when he’ll ping! 🕷️

Tarantula is a sensitive soul and so often misunderstood. The hurt builds up in the nervous system and demands a release. Any release will do. And with so much to process… it can get wild. Stand back!

I love this remedy. I’ve never seen it fail to calm that super-wound-up, chaotic energy it’s so famous for.

Think of Tarantula when you see this mix of keynotes:

🕷️ Never been well since: punishment, a humiliating telling-off, an accident, bad news, sepsis, or unrequited love or rejection.
🕷️ Constant movement: fast, impatient, irritable with slowness
🕷️ Spasms, tics, twitches, contractions, or convulsions
🕷️ Hypersensitive to the slightest touch, sound, or stimulation
🕷️ Excited by music; calms when dancing to a rhythmic beat.
🕷️ Erratic moods or tormenting behaviour
🕷️ Repetitive movements; like rubbing or rolling their head on a hard surface to release the build up in the overwound nervous system.

✨ Similar remedies to compare: Stramonium, Zinc, Belladonna, Tuberculinum, Hyos, Arsenicum (or Bach’s Cherry Plum / Impatiens)

🌱 For acute (sudden + intense) symptoms that fit the Tarantula picture, you could consider:

🌼 Tarantula 30c: 3 doses: pm / am / pm
🌼 Repeat after 3–7 days if symptoms return or continue mildly
🌼 No shift after 3 doses? It’s probably not a match.

Have you ever needed Tarantula?
I’ve seen it shift a frantic, hyper state in under two hours, after weeks of Tarantula-style chaos took over our house!

💛 I’d love to hear your Tarantula stories in the comments.

Hi Happy Home Prescribers, it’s been a little while – how are you doing? 💛
I’ve missed sharing these remedy doodles and hope this one brings comfort and insight to you if you’re in a ‘needing Nat mur sorta place’.

Natrum Muriaticum – Hidden Hurts
She tries to avoid hurting others or being hurt … so she puts up a protective wall around her heart.

She has never been well since (NBWS) a terrible loss, grief, series of painful disappointments or a big betrayal.

It’s a key remedy for:

🌸 Very dry or very watery symptoms

🌸Hayfever, cold sores, headaches, hormonal imbalances and of course chronic grief.

🌸Busy-itis: symptoms are worse by the compulsion to keep busy/distracted/occupied in order to avoid the painful feelings buried inside.

🌸Sooo many varied symptoms matching the Nat mur NBWS.

🌱For acute (intense & recent) symptoms which fit the Nat Mur keynotes you might give:

🌼 Nat Mur 30c: single dose ‘as needed’

🌼 Stop giving the remedy on improvement & only repeat if the same symptoms return.

If there’s no improvement after 3-6 doses in a row, this probably isn’t the remedy you need.

For persistent or complex symptoms consider working with a homeopath for individualised support to help uncover any underlying trauma patterns.

Have you seen nat mur work her wonders? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments!

Blackbird Song – A Remedy for Times of Unstoppable Change

This is such a curious remedy right?!

A special blackbird with a particularly captivating song was captured via a clear quartz crystal in an ethanol solution and then diluted and succussed to create this imponderable remedy!

Big themes for this remedy:

Times of unexpected (usually unwanted) change like retirement, sudden health decline, moving home/country, sudden grief/loss.

Restricted or restrained feelings

Deterioration or disintegration (often mental health or memory decline).

Hopelessness and chronic disappointment. Sorrow with anxiety.

Difficulty concentrating - scattered and not able to be present (often due to prolonged inner turmoil)

The remedy brings great clarity and acceptance, stability and hope.

When given as part of a well balanced treatment plan - blackbird song empowers those who felt powerless and shows us what really matters so we can adapt and be decisive when we need to.

This beautifully remedy has been a real surprise to me - its depth and gentleness, powerful and yet the changes are completely invisible to the naked eye - but so impactful.
It just provokes incredible and unexpected shifts in the most hopeless cases. (I shouldn’t be surprised really - since the sound of birdsong has always been one of my fav medicines) 🐦‍⬛

It’s not really a first aid remedy, but if it resonates ask your homeopath if this could be added to your plan and then come back as id love to hear your birdsong story

Alex 💙

Staphisagria – The Remedy for the Deeply Wounded
Staphisagria is a remedy for those who’ve endured humiliation, abuse, or deep hurt—often appearing calm and nice on the outside while suppressing waves of unspoken indignation.

Most likely to say “sorry” to strangers who bump into them…. Or “thats not fair… it’s not right… that’s just wrong” to their trusted family and friends.

It’s a key remedy for:

🌸Suppressed anger that erupt to outbursts or silent suffering

🌸Cystitis, colic, styes, tooth decay, or skin issues linked to emotional wounds.

🌸Pain from cuts, surgery, or medical injury.

🌸Extreme sensitivity—to touch, opinions, injustice.

🌱For acute (intense & recent) symptoms which fit the Staphysagria keynotes you might give:

🌼Staphysagria 30c: single dose ‘as needed’

🌼 Stop giving the remedy on improvement & only repeat if the same symptoms return.

If there’s no improvement after 3-6 doses in a row, this probably isn’t the remedy you need.

For chronic or complex symptoms consider working with a homeopath for individualised support with underlying trauma.

Most Common ‘Never Been Well Since’ (NBWS) Triggers 💔🌀🌿

Health levels can often change after emotional shock… have you ever noticed this pattern?

Big emotions like:

🌸 Grief or loss (disappointed love)
🌼 Abandonment
🌸 Fright, fear, terror
🌼 Bad news, shocking news, happy news, accidents
🌸 Abuse, humiliation, shame, guilt
🌼 Suppressed anger …

… are some of the biggest culprits.

Doctor Robin Murphy identified grief, abandonment, and mortification (humiliation, shame, or abuse) as the 3 most common NBWS patterns—deep emotional wounds like these can often manifest as chronic illness. (source: Robin Murphy’s book: ‘case analysis & prescribing techniques’)

In my homeopathic practice, I’ve seen virtually any suppressed emotion trigger a cycle of stuck symptoms.
When emotions don’t move through, they express via the body instead.

We can’t control this, it’s not your fault… all you can do is listen in and offer compassion to your wounds (and of course, we can choose deep understanding; in the form of individualised homeopathic remedies).

I hope this is helpful… let me know your thoughts in the comments ✨🌸🌼🌸

Silica: nicknamed the ‘homeopathic surgeon’ due to its ability to promote the ejecting of splinters/foreign bodies from the system.

🌱 Difficult or slow healing powers (injuries/viruses/infections) . Constantly experiencing infections which turn to pus and get stubbornly stuck.

🌱 Worse drafts, better wrapping up warm.

🌱 Mentally drained and without physical stamina. Arguments are especially draining to them - they avoid these.

Sulphur: the homeopaths remedy of choice for poor eliminators. Sulphur really struggles to detox naturally and so….

Think congestion (gut, mucous membranes, skin)…

Sulphur is overloaded and won’t/can’t stop collecting!

Collects; Ideas, thoughts, information, toxins, allergens, infections and viruses, hobbies and well, stuff!

Sensitive Sulphur’s get stuck and can’t seem to recover from infections or viruses and are prone to allergies - especially to food (milk), processed foods, chemicals and environmental allergens.
✨✨✨
Key ways to recognise the Sulphur pattern:

* Symptoms are worse from the heat of the bed (sticks feet out).

* Skin symptoms are fiery red and itchy.

* Quickly weak and very hungry at 11am.
Wants sweet or spicy food.

* Symptoms that relapse

* Burning, heat, throbbing or congested sensations.

Sulphur is a deep acting remedy and best taken while working with a qualified homeopath for individualised care and gentle detoxification support.

Phosphorus: a much loved homeopathic remedy type; due to her bubbly, sociable and open character.
But, phosphorus can also be highly dramatic, fickle and have overwhelmingly large amounts of intense enthusiasm.
✨✨✨
Key ways to recognise the Phosphorus pattern:
* Symptoms are worse when alone and better for company and reassurance.
* Heightened senses - super sensitive to atmospheres or environmental toxins and electrical changes.
* Very thirsty for cold drinks which ease symptoms
* Bleeding (bright red blood) is often a feature - colds go to throat or chest - easily switches between hyperactive and collapsed/empty energy states.

Phosphorus is a deep acting remedy and best taken while working with a qualified homeopath for individualised care.

Lycopodium: Sometimes described as ‘the angel at school (or work) and the devil at home!’
Can be withdrawn and unassertive or loud and full of bravado (hot air)… may even alternate between the two.
✨✨✨
Key ways to recognise the Lycopodium pattern:

* Symptoms often start between 4-8pm (or they’re worse then).
* Symptoms appear on the right side, or move right to left.
* Gas - flatulence - burping - wind - bloating; whatever you want to call it lycopodium is full of it!

Lycopodium is a deep acting remedy and best taken while working with a qualified homeopath for support.

For advanced home prescribers: If this remedy resonates for you (or your child) you may find that you only need 1-3 doses** a few times a year to strengthen general vitality, balance moods and energy.

**note if you don’t notice any positive shifts within 2-4 weeks of your first dose of the remedy then it may not be right for you at this time.
