Since we briefly chatted snake remedies in the Coffee Chat today, I thought I would give a lil' breakdown of key traits where a lachesis remedy may be well indicated. Key symptoms where lachesis may be well indicated: - left sided pains/ailments that move to the right - sleep aggravation - sensitivity to constriction - whether it be tight things around the neck (can't stand turtlenecks or fear of necklace around neck while sleeping, etc) or simply constriction in life, sore, tight throat, etc - jealousy & suspicion - loquacity - menopause - worse for it, hot flashes, etc. - purple/mottled skin (in acute cases) - cardiovascular ailments - hemorrhages, hot flashes, big affinity for heat Now the key personality traits of the Lachesis archtype include being intensely charismatic, passionate & magnetic with the ability to draw others in effortlessly. Highly intelligent with rapid thinking where ideas may jump and overflow (excess). Deep jealousy and possessiveness in relationships. Suspicious mistrustful, can become easily paranoid, fears being controlled. Talkative to an excess where speech become circular or pressured under stress. Think of some of the key characteristics of the Bushmaster snake from which this remedy is derived - constricting, coiling up to strike. The lachesis individual may be snappy or "strike" aggressively with behavior, words or out of jealousy. We can think of some narcissistic traits that overlap here with the lachesis individual. Usually these individual's symptoms are aggravated by sleep and worse on waking. These individuals may not be able to tolerate any sort of touch or tight clothing (constriction). There may be many ailments from suppressed discharges (menses, grief, eruptions). There's also a big aspect to the heat of this remedy/individual where they are significantly worse off in the heat, with hot drinks, sun, yet are better in the open air. See my comment for a real-life celebrity example of this remedy type!! 🐍

Thanks for a great call today @Stephanie Prather :) We talked all sorts of things from the Narayani remedies to meridien remedies - the incredible War Mix remedy and Drawing Pills Remedy for deep seated infections. How the body innately expells toxins & how to further support the process with homeopathy. Homeopathic dosing for animals, chickens and fish. And so much more! See you in the next coffee chat ☕

"the quiet keeper" Nat mur is a remedy we often reach for (in chronic cases) when there has been a history of substantial or supressed grief. Now the thing that separates Nat Mur from the other well indicated "grief remedies" is the Nat Mur doesn't show much emotion outwardly. They hardly ever shed a tear and appear well put together from the outside. You might never know the Nat Mur is carrying so much within - as they may feel that they are capable of carrying the burden themselves rather than being vulnerable with others about what has been "pent up". There's often been a history of hurt (particularly in close and intimate relationships) that never got fully expressed or resolved. And over time, the suppression of that emotion tends to find some sort of other outlet - in the form of physical symptoms. Often the gut, skin, sinuses and even the throat are where a Nat Mur will store their emotions. The body will start speaking for them, because they just can't speak up for themselves. Nat murs are very loyal, honest and deeply principled. They remember EVERYTHING. They can hold a grudge not out of bad intent, but because the hurt went super deep for them personally and they just couldn't process it. They are often the ones others lean on - very dependable, but silently suffering internally. Now Nat Mur is actually derived from salt, so it only makes sense that one of a Nat Mur's main cravings is SALT! 🧂 Other key notes of this remedy include: - sensitivity to the sun - a tendency toward dryness (mucous membranes, lips, skin) - headaches - emotionally - they resist consolation & being comforted can actually make things worse for the Nat Mur At the core Nat Mur is a person learning to find and use their voice, to let people in, and to grieve what needs to be grieved so the body doesn't have to keep carrying that burden for them. Do you know a Nat Mur in your life?

Hiya friends - I talked about dosing for animals in my workshop on Saturday and thought I would leave some of my thoughts and tips here! Animal dosing 101 🐶🐱🐮🐓 Here's the thing - homeopathy isn't so cut and dry as the classical homeopaths make it out to be. And I think that is GREAT news. Because, we can figure out systems and ways to use it that work best for us and our unique circumstances! Here are just a few examples of how we have been giving remedies to animals (both me from experience, and my clients from their experiences!) Doggos 🐶 - give 5-10 drops in communal water bowl as needed, give a few drops on a treat multiple times a day for individualized care, drop 2 drops directly on wound or area of concern, drops 5 drops between shoulder blades to absorb that way, drop on gloved hand and rub on gums Chickens 🐓 - add drops of remedy to communal water reservoir! Cats 🐱 - I don't know much about cats, but I do know they can be picky! If adding drops to their water doesn't work, it may be vital to drop the remedy directly on their favorite food or simple on their nose to absorb through their mucous membrane Cows/Horses 🐮 - add drops to communal water reservoir (will likely need to be 10-20 drops since there are bigger water reservoirs!), drop on gloved hand and rub the remedy on the nose or gums, drop the remedy between shoulder blades for absorption. If animals are bottle fed, can give remedy in bottle! Fish!! Ok this is no joke, but I actually heard a lecture a couple of weeks ago where a goldfish was struggling and the owner dropped 2 drops of the well indicated remedy in the goldfish bowl. The fish perked right back up & went on to live its life 🐠 Isn't homeopathy the freaking best?! Got any other animals you are curious about dosing for? Let me know in the comments!
