Homeopath Edel Bolger O’Hora (March 2023)
This module is about teaching you how to use four homeopathic remedies to treat common conditions and first aid acute cases. It is not designed for you to treat serious injuries or serious illnesses. In these cases, always seek expert help, dial 999 for ambulance or bring patient to A+E dept of your nearest hospital.  Serious injuries, complaints and illnesses should never be treated without seeking expert advice.

Homeopathy is a System of Medicine and has been used extensively and  successfully all around the world for over 200 years. The benefits of using Homeopathy are:

• SAFE for people of any age including newborns, pregnant and nursing women, weak or sensitive people and the elderly.
• EFFECTIVE and NON-INVASIVE form of treatment
• EASY TO TAKE - Pleasant tasting, quick dissolving Pillules
• NO SIDE EFFECTS
• NATURAL SYSTEM OF MEDICINE
• NON-TOXIC and NON-HABIT FORMING
• REMEDIES, NOT DRUGS

Homeopathy is based on ‘Like Cures Like Principle’: you have ever cut an onion you will know how it can make your eyes water profusely, smart and burn.The homeopathic remedy made from the Red Onion (Allium Cepa) can successfully treat conditions like hay-fever  that have the symptoms of  eyes watering profusely and that  smart and burn. 
Homeopathic remedies are made in a Homeopathic Pharmacy such as the picture of this one which is Helios Homeopathic Pharmacy in Tunbridge Wells in England. In Ireland Homeopathy dates back to 1839 when Dr Joseph Kidd successfully treated disease during the famine.
The module looks at Arnica that is the number one remedy for bruises, bumps, knocks and injuries. It helps to absorb blood, reduce swelling, relieves pain promoting healing in a traumatised area.
Aconite is the remedy for preventing illnesses developing. It helps with ailments after exposure to cold, dry winds, ailments from fright and then sudden onset of symptoms. It is a very useful remedy for ‘croup’.
Ledum is the remedy for puncture wounds where there are animal bites like insect or animal bites. It has an affinity for eyes such as a black eye or blood shot eye.
Homeopathic remedies are usually given in tablet form, they can also be administered as pillules, granules, liquids or powders, or applied to the skin in creams, diluted tincture or ointments.

• When you have selected the appropriate remedy,  tip out a single dose (one 30c tablet) on a clean spoon or the cap of the remedy bottle.
• It is the potency and frequency of repetition of the selected remedy that determines the strength and length of its action, rather than the size of the dose. If you give one, two or ten at the same time it still counts as a single dose of the remedy.
• If you gave a single tablet every ten minutes over the course of an hour, this would count as six doses, since the remedy is given repeatedly.
• People can suck the remedy as they would a sweet or they can chew it.
• Small children or babies can be given the remedy in granule or powder form, or you can place the remedy inside their gum and hold it there for 30 seconds, by this time it will have dissolved, or you may rub the remedy on their gums.
• Ensure you have a clean mouth as much as possible when taking the remedy. This refers more to ensuring that they have not eaten, or drunk anything that has a strong flavour, such as mint, too close to taking the remedy.
• Avoid swallowing the remedy down with water, just allow it to be dissolved in the mouth. As this is a first aid manual, it may not be possible to have a “clean” mouth and just administer the remedy as required.

Homeopathy is a System of Medicine and has been used extensively and  successfully all around the world for over 200 years. It is safe and effective and can be used across the generations. Dr Hahnemann, the founder of Homeopathy, was a General Practitioner and father of 10. He certainly knew the need that people support their own healing through using Homeopathic medicines that he called remedies.
