Planning a summer barbecue?

Remember - if you mistakenly get burned touching the hot grill surface - remember this advice from Dr. Lisa Samet:

"No remedies correspond closer to this condition than Cantharis, which if early enough applied will prevent the blisters from forming to any extent. Where they have formed, the tincture (or 30C potency in water) of Cantharis applied with a brush externally, will soon relieve the pain…”

A question we hear often... "Can I use homeopathy along with my prescription and over-the-counter drugs?"

Yes. Homeopathic remedies can be used simultaneously and do not interact with prescription and over-the-counter drugs - nor do they cause side effects.

Ever notice the credentials CCH after a professional homeopaths name?

In homeopathy, CCH stands for Certified Classical Homeopath. This credential is awarded by the Council for Homeopathic Certification (CHC), the only third-party accredited homeopathy certification organization in the United States.

Holding the CCH credential signifies that a practitioner has met and maintains recognized professional and ethical standards in classical homeopathy.

From Dr. Lisa Samet...

"Sadness is a normal response to the death of a loved one or the loss of a love. It’s been written that there are stages to the process – from shock and denial to depression and finally acceptance.

It’s really important to realize that the mourning process is normal, usually painful, and always necessary to sustain good mental (and physical) health. And it takes time – so be patient with yourself.

I have found in my years of practice that homeopathy can help those who struggle with sadness and then get stuck in an unyielding, worried state. Here is one remedy to consider if you are grieving:

Ignatia: There is perhaps no homeopathic remedy more often indicated in a case of acute, recent sadness than Ignatia. At times referred to as the “sighing remedy”, people needing this remedy tend to be markedly sad and disposed to being very private about their sadness. They may cry a great deal, great big sobs, and are often found sighing with marked regularity. These patients typically prefer to avoid company when sad and also tend to be quite moody. Ignatia patients may have contradictory symptoms (ie, a sore throat which feels better from swallowing food)."

Homeopathy in History... the story of a very fine homeopathic hospital.

The Flower Free Surgical Hospital, built by New York Medical College in 1889, was the first teaching hospital in the country to be owned by a medical college. It was constructed at York Avenue (formerly known as Eastern Boulevard) between 63rd and 64th streets with funds given largely by Congressman Roswell P. Flower, later governor of New York (1892-1894).

In 1908, to highlight owning its own hospital "Flower Free Surgical Hospital," the College changes its name a third time to "New York Homeopathic Medical College and Flower Hospital." A year later, the hospital adds motorized ambulances to supplement horse-drawn ambulances after the first U.S. mass-production of automobile-based ambulances begins production the same year.

Did you know?
Sadly, opportunities for women to train in homeopathic medicine in the early years of homeopathy in America were few and far between.

The New York Medical College and Hospital for Women (1863) and the Woman’s Homeopathic College in Cleveland (1868) were two options for women wishing to study homeopathy. In 1871, Hahnemann Medical College of Chicago allowed women to matriculate. In 1874, the homeopathic Boston University School of Medicine became the first co-educational medical school in New England. However, in Philadelphia, women were not allowed admittance to either the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania or Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia. In 1865, women were allowed to sit in on the lectures at the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, but were not allowed to matriculate and earn degrees. The question of permitting women to attend the Philadelphia schools was debated several times in the late 1800s, although it would not be until 1941 that women were admitted.

It was common practice for women in the early days of homeopathy to receive medical degrees from schools such as the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia) or New England Female Medical College (Boston), and then move to Chicago, Cleveland, Baltimore, or Boston, where they could receive formal training in homeopathic medicine.
