Asthma is usually a very difficult ailment to treat successfully but I have had some success in doing so, using just 2 remedies that are commonly available in almost all Homeopathic Pharmacies. It is possible the average homeopath has already used these remedies in their practice with little or no success and if this is the case, I believe that the reason, if they were not successful, is because they used the standard dry pellets.
I have always used and prescribed the Wet dose method of using remedies for all Homeopathic remedies.
I shall copy my standard instructions to make the Wet dose of a remedy below:
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
It may seem strange to the average reader that just 3 drops of any remedy mixed into a 500 ml bottle of spring water can possibly work but I have over 6 years of background experience in using the Wet dose and can categorically state that the Wet dose is by far more effective in curing the patient of his/her ailment. Various theories have been adduced as the reason for the Wet dose being more effective than the Dry pellets that are usually used and all I can state is that in my experience the Wet dose is by far more effective than the Dry dose to give any remedy over any long period.
The treatment of Asthma as I stated above is very difficult and it requires a lot of courage on the part of the patient and in the case of a child, the parents to stop the use of the standard drugs including the Inhalers, the Nebulizers and the Drugs prescribed by doctors to treat patients. It is likely that doctors are blissfully unaware of the danger that the drugs which are usually steroid based which they prescribe for Asthma, have on the lives of their patients, especially children whose growth is invariably stymied by the steroids and can affect them for life.
They do not know of any alternative drugs and Homeopathic remedies that can be used safely to help their patients and continue to prescribe the standard plethora of dangerous drugs which are standard in helping the Asthmatic patient on the basis that the patient has to breathe to survive. They are not concerned about the side effects their patients suffer which is of great relevance in the case of children as their growth is affected in many ways.
The 2 remedies I prescribe to help Asthmatics are
Blatta Orientalis 6c (BO) or if it does not help within 24 hours, Nat Sulph 6c (NS) both in the WET DOSE.
The dosage is just a teaspoonful taken twice daily in the Wet dose which is made according to my instructions below. It may seem strange to the patient that a teaspoonful of water which does not have any taste or other characteristic to qualify it as a medicine or drug can possibly help a patient but I have proved beyond any doubt that it really does. Many patients whom I have treated for Asthma have stopped their Inhalers usually Ventolin and Seretide on their own accord usually within 24 hours when they discover that the remedy that I had given them seemed more effective to control the symptoms of Asthma which they have suffered from for years, sometimes even for a lifetime in the case of senior patients.
I also add Ars Alb 30 in the Wet dose to be taken twice daily for a few weeks with instructions to stop it when the patient discovers that BO alone can control the Asthma. I also give the patient Ars Alb 200 in the dry pellets with instructions to take just 3 pellets sublingually (under the tongue) to be used only on a SOS basis if the patient presents a full blown attack when he has to be immediately taken to hospital to be Nebulized. This can sometimes occur when the patient is exposed to some trigger like dust or smoke or some other cause.
Many patients have reported that they were relieved of their Asthmatic status within a few hours after the first dose of a teaspoonful of Blatta O and they were free of symptoms within 24 hours. The Ars Alb 30c can also be used twice daily for a few days but it is not to be used on a long term basis and should be discontinued usually within about 2 weeks when the symptoms ameliorate.
Some patients present a wet cough which is due to phlegm in their lungs which is coughed up. I have recommended that they use steam which can be from an electric jug or kettle with the lid open or preferably from an electric Steamer of the kind used in Beauty Palours. This permits the steam to be used safely in the case of a child who cannot be permitted to use the steam without supervision.
I have also promoted the use of a mild form of Physiotherapy when the patient, usually a child is placed head down in bed with pillows under the chest which is elevated slightly above the head which is left to dangle over the side. The back of the chest is tapped gently by the open hand of the mother and this usually promotes the flow of the phlegm in the lungs which are caused by the Asthma. This physiotherapy should be done immediately after about 5 minutes of inhaling steam.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:
Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.
It is best that this therapy is used under the supervision of a person qualified to do so as there are many problems that will have to be overcome especially during the first few weeks of using this therapy by the patient or the parents for their child.
