                                            My Story - 
I had the privilege of a wonderful education - Botany, Zoology, Geology and the Arts from Harvard University - and yes, Harvard was fantastic.   In 1973 I packed up and moved to my husband's family farm in what was remote NJ. Woodlands, nature, very little traffic and Utopia from a Cosmopolitan Massachusetts.   I became an herbalist and a herb farmer,  we grew herbs and cut flowers commercially.    
In the 1990's I got recruited for local politics.  Late nights, political pressures, etc, and I got sick!  Really sick! Lyme disease started out insidiously.    Migraine headaches that wrapped around my head and settled over my right eye. I was half blind.  Ok,  I was under stress - big deal.   I proceeded to get worse, neurological headaches, memory impairment, chronic fatigue, and tons and tons of medicine,  amoxicillin for 3 years and IV antibiotics and I was NOT getting any better, I was dying slowly.
My youngest daughter had a sleep over,  the girls were at the laughing, giggling, shrieking age.   Just what that headache needed. I packed the girls in to the car, and off to the local small  shopping mall.  When we got there, the girls went one way,  I stumbled blindly the other way, by a health food store that had a huge display of homeopathic 'poly-pharmacy remedies'.  Did I believe in homeopathy?   Hell NO!,   
I had the best of modern medicine and it was  not touching my head pain,  why on earth would I believe in 'airy nothings'?  
But, I was desperate,  at this point I would have tried anything.    There was a box of homeopathic medicine with the label:   Stress and Tension Headaches,  the cost was $6.00  - what else did I have to lose?    I bought the box and told the sales person if I worked,  I'd be back.
As I slowly meandered out of the store,  I popped a pill from it's aluminum container, put it in my mouth and continued walking, I passed a few stores and miracle of miracles the headache started lifting up, up and away.   Wow, no one was as stunned or as surprised as I was.  I was  headache free.  
What is this homeopathic medicine?   
My research into homeopathy next.
