Let's talk MUMPS...and fear not.

We have had some cases where I Iive in the local schools and colleges and I have seen a few cases of young adults with mumps in the last couple of months and they have healed WITHOUT complications using food, nutrients, cell salts and homeopathy.

Most of those that I have seen are actually surprised that it is not as bad as the school/media have made it out to be.

Now remember most of these children are either adults or nearly adults as they did not obtain life long immunity due to a plethora of reasons…childhood illnesses during CHILDHOOD are less ‘complicated’. The beauty of having a childhood illness DURING childhood such as mumps, measles chickenpox etc means you then have life long immunity. What great health insurance!

WHAT IS MUMPS? .... apart from looking like a hamster

- It is a viral infection
- Infection of the salivary glands (parotids, below and in front of the ears), this is why one gets the ‘hamster cheek’ appearance
- These glands produce sailva
- The virus spreads by sneezing, kissing, coughing etc
- The actual symptoms usually appear anywhere between 14-21 days AFTER being infected
- Due to the latent period from infection to the presentation of the symptoms one can pass on the virus whilst they are NOT symptomatic and then several days into being symptomatic

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

- Cold like symptoms such as runny nose, feeling a bit ‘bla’
- Nausea, maybe the loss of appetite
- Fever, headache, usually ONE side USUALLY where there is tenderness around the parotid gland area namely around the ears
- Swelling of the cheeks which is painful and it looks like hamster cheeks
- Mouth is USUALLY dry and any movement of the mouth can be painful, chewing and swallowing is painful

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
CUT OUT JUNK FOODS, such as sugar, alcohol (not that anyone in this situation is going to drink alcohol but think University students, think of their ‘dorms’, their fridges, their food cabinets), eat plenty of greens soups, stews, coconut water, rest, sleep and fresh air (open windows, let the air in rather than stifling dry heated rooms unless your body is requiring to be wrapped up warm, see remedies below).Good quality water, broths, watch some comedies, have a good laugh (but try not to move the jaw too much) and USE HOMEOPATHY to see the acute state through. Food-based vitamin C and NO vitamin D supplementation.

Complications are mainly in those that are immuno-suppressed, and if we think of teenagers and uni students not due to only hormonal changes but the lack of nutrient-dense living, lack of sleep, plenty of parties, not enough rest, it is of no surprise that they seem to be the 'host'.

What can these complications include?
swelling to other glands in the body such as the te**es and ovaries. The gland becomes swolllen tender and painful. In a SMALL MINORITY, the glands can shrink and therefore result in sterility.

So to avoid these complications I would recommend all the above suggestions and use homeopathy. To use homeopathy, use the infographic below, AND MATCH THE SYMPTOMS to the REMEDY. ALL the symptoms do not have to match, but the majority.

I also use tissue salts (cell salts), namely ferrum phos, kali mur and kali phos (especially if a student) and nat phos if they are living on junk food and alcohol and energy drinks.

I have found jaborandi and pulsatilla the most helpful as the symptoms matched these remedies. You may find another remedy matches….

So if your teen or non-teen or whomever, has MUMPS, then you want to check,

-Which side is the swelling, is it one sided or both, has it gone from one side and now the other?
-Do they have a fever?
-What is the pain like? Throbbing, shooting, burning,
-Are they sweating? If so does it smell
- Is the mouth is dry, what is the tongue like?
- What do they desire? an open window, wrapped up warm etc
- OTHER SYMPTOMS that have come on with the mumps, such as mouth ulcers, irritability, weepy, constipation and this is out of character for them.

So have a look at these remedies now, not when your teenager or whoever it may be gets mumps, as most of us go into panic mode and then cannot think straight, so be prepared in advance.

The remedies are listed in alphabetical order for ease….

Feel free to contact your local homeopathic pharmacy for the remedies.
