Remedy Spotlight: Hekla lava

Hekla lava is a fascinating remedy known for its action on bones, teeth, and abnormal growths. It is often considered when there is excessive bone formation or hard swellings, especially around the jaw.

It’s especially helpful when:

There are bony growths, spurs, or enlargements
There is pain or swelling in the jaw or teeth, especially after dental work
There are cysts, nodules, or hard lumps developing in bone areas
Teething is difficult, with swelling and sensitivity
There is lingering discomfort after tooth extraction or dental procedures

Hekla lava has a strong affinity for the bone structure, particularly the jaw, but also other areas where bone changes or growths are present.

Emotional picture: Often not very marked, but there may be irritation or frustration linked to ongoing physical discomfort.

Think of Hekla lava when there are hard, bony changes or growths, especially in the jaw that seem slow to resolve.

Top tip: This is a key remedy to remember for dental-related bone issues, especially when swelling feels hard rather than soft.

Did you know? Hekla lava is made from volcanic ash from Mount Hekla in Iceland. Animals grazing near the volcano were observed to develop unusual bony growths - which led to its use in homeopathy for similar conditions.

PEARL REMEDY AND THE FULL MOON

Pearls in general are considered a "moon gem" or lunar stone in many traditions due to their iridescent, silvery-white appearance, formation in water (tides are lunar-influenced), and associations with femininity, emotions, intuition, nurturing, and the "feeling nature." In esoteric or gem remedy contexts, Pearl is tied to lunar qualities like fluidity, sensitivity, and emotional depth.
My live webinar on Pearl source is on Saturday May 1st, when we have a powerful full moon in Scorpio and Pearl remedy is one remedy to consider if you are sensitive to the full moon, together with remedy Luna.
In homeopathy, the link between Pearl and the full moon has been known since the first provings performed in the 19th century, as we will see during the webinar.
You can find the Zoom link in the Events section here on facebook or in my previous posts.

Ledum is a good remedy for the skeletal system in general.

It has a special affinity to the heel and ankle, and it is a good remedy for sprained ankles and tender soles or sore heels.

SEA REMEDIES AND THE ZEITGEIST

In a previous post I mentioned the planetary conjunction of Uranus and the dwarf planet Sedna. Sedna is an Inuit goddess of the sea. In Inuit mythology, she was tragically betrayed by both her husband and father and forced to fall to the bottom of the ocean, where she transmuted into a goddess and her fingers turned into magical sea creatures: dolphins and whales.
The themes of Sedna are: overcoming the patriarchy, triumph over victimhood and, of course, the Ocean.
The sea has forever been linked to our subconscious and with emotions, intuition, the Devine Feminine. Humans have only scratched the surface when it comes to understanding the deep sea. Uranus is going spotlight this aspect of humanity and that includes homeopathic Sea Remedies!
As our intuition gets a tune-up, I believe we will feel closer to what happens in the deep sea. Could we be using more sea remedies in the near future?
