Homeopathy At Home with Melissa
I am a Registered Homeopath and Lactation Consultant who loves Jesus and believes in the power of prayer in healing and restoration. God designed our bodies to heal themselves. We interfere with the body’s abilities by introducing medications which stop the action our bodies were made to do - heal! Homeopathy comes in and stimulates the immune system to help the body remember how to heal itself. ALL people are welcomed here, no matter your beliefs! I discuss mostly homeopathy here, but also I bring an encouraging word from the Lord and touch on the topics of parenting, homeschooling, marriage, and nutrition. Welcome to my world! It’s a beautiful, healthy life!

Welcome back to Homeopathy at Home with Melissa. I'm Bri, hi Melissa, hi Bri. Today we're continuing our Materia Medical Monday series And while we're recording today we are going to be taking maybe some questions that pop up. We're doing this live stream on Facebook for our students So you'll get easy early access to this And we'll maybe answer some as we go. But for you podcast listeners, we're back to our Materia Medical Monday.
Speaker 1:So, this makes sense to you. We're recording on a Tuesday, which sounds weird, but we are doing the remedy cost to come tonight.
Speaker 2:Before we jump into our remedy, i want to say I have t-shirts And you have one, so I have this one. On This says praise the Lord for Homeopathy. This one would be a full color. I'm not selling it on my store because it is quite expensive, because it's full color, but I have the black and white version.
Speaker 1:Is it really soft, like when you hear your looks nice.
Speaker 2:It's very soft. I love it. These are really soft, and so that's the black one Praise the Lord for Homeopathy. And then I have the navy one That says homeopathy is true health, and it's got the flower in the middle. I have more. I have another one coming. Oh, i have one that says Jesus and homeopathy. Okay, so we'll show those at another time. Also, don't forget about my mugs, oh, but look, be blessed, be whole, be healthy, be love. Get your coffee mug. It's on my store And it's just got my logo on there So you can remember to call me when you need me.
Speaker 1:And that's Melissa's. That's your signature, that's what your emails say. You say that a lot, so that's right. That is unique to you.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be getting one because I drink coffee or tea And I think my email is a little bit different from the one I use to make coffee.
Speaker 2:When we do this all the time. So I'll be wrapping all of the merch Good point that this is my thing, This is my this is what I end my emails with.
Speaker 1:That's my thing. Okay, we have a couple more watching, hi.
Speaker 2:Shelley, hi Michelle, hey friends, love you all. Love you all, glad you're here. We try to keep the podcast fairly short So we're not gonna turn it into a whole big long Q&A, but if you have a few questions we might be able to answer and we'll go for it. So tonight we're doing Costa Com, and when I think of Costa Com I think of Burns. That's my number one. Actually, sorry, cantoris is really what I like to do for my number one, for Burns, but Costa Com has Burns, like your third degree Burns, and it's got rawness, paralysis of muscles. So I've been hearing about that a lot lately, where there are things that's going around Mm-hmm, not that a lot of people are getting it, but I have been hearing it lately. So think of Costa Com, shortening of the tendons.
Speaker 1:So to me that would mean tight Yeah, which the next one of the other keynotes was constriction.
Speaker 2:Constriction right.
Speaker 1:So yeah, tight, That's right I wonder if you sorry to interrupt you. I'm thinking of on to, if you have, if you know elderly people like atrophy when they're, when they're stuck in positions that don't move a lot. Or maybe consider after a broken bone, if you've been in a sling or something for a long time. Yes, yeah, back out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's good Good points Can't bear to look at the news. I'm not going to take calls to come because I don't want to look at the news, but I'm being silly, this is like it. This reminds me of my grandmother and her last few years. She had Alzheimer's and she would get so upset over the news because she had Alzheimer's and she was kind of, you know, thinking that everything was happening right here, you know, on her. So I'm sure there's other other times when people maybe can't bear to look at the news, but really it's because they cannot stand injustice.
Speaker 1:And just necessarily they're overwhelmed by all the sad things happening.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:It's just there, like they're angry at injustice. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I can't even watch this because of all the terrible things that are going on in the world. So, friends, remember who is in charge of it all, who is our savior. Look to him, right, we don't have to. It's just to be getting darker. Yeah, it's getting darker in our world. It's getting darker and darker and that's it's. you know we're in times. So you know, look to him and trust him and believe him, and the cost to come. now you know we're talking a lot about chronic things here. So they're very sympathetic And I feel that if someone else is upset, i was going to say very empathetic. so that to me is empathy. so when you're, when you're, empathetic, so sympathetic, oh, i feel so sorry for her. empathetic is, i feel it. I feel that when you, i feel what you feel, i get upset. when you get upset, they feel other people's pain, they're really caring and they suffer because of it.
Speaker 1:And I think that's why I stopped watching the news. I know cost to come does get angry, but maybe it starts, yeah, with that, that burdened feeling.
Speaker 2:That's right. Yeah, you watch the news and you get Yes, gosh. I think that this is so funny. That's why I stopped watching the news A long time ago. I was with 911 after. Even before that I hated to watch it. It really bothered me. But then after that I was like I just can't and I really quit watching the news because of all the injustice. It just drove me crazy. It's a great grief remedy. So we often think of that mirror and Ignatia for grief. Add this one to your list. You might think of cost to come, but then you start to toughen up a bit and get a bit a bit fixed and rigid. So they, they take up causes. They start, you know they become the animal rights activists, but they can go a bit too far with it. Right, we need to protect animal rights, but also don't forget about the unborn. But don't but not with animal rights. Like, sometimes we can go just too far with it, right, we can just become like it can be like a terrorist remedy.
Speaker 1:Where you go so far, They take it And it. I think it's like a lot of things in life. here I'm getting off philosophical off on a tangent, but a lot of things can start from a good place. like you watch the news, you feel empathetic. Well, that's a heavy thing to carry And instead of bringing it to the Lord or processing it in a healthy way, It turns to anger and then it turns to I need a solution. so I'm going to go fight all the fights you know, and then you can become really dogmatic and really intense, but not truly bringing much solution. You're just finding an outlet, maybe for those things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's really good, good points. Yep, i would just. So they can be. I know you, just I was like, well, that was good. So they can be deeply angry, resentful, and I'm resentful down, down, deep. OK, you know we usually don't do this, but really I'm just thinking, when there's anger in your life, when you're, when you're carrying anger and you don't have the The wisdom or the knowledge or the ability to talk about that right And deal with it appropriately, you stuff it.
Speaker 2:Anger and offense usually they go hand in hand. I mean, when you're angry, you're offended, right. So Offense, when it's not properly handled, can grow deep roots of bitterness. And man, when bitterness takes root in your heart, so tough and non impossible non impossible but a tough thing to uproot, and I know he's uproot a lot in homeopathy And you know that's what cost to come looks like that is very angry and resentful. But so, yeah, you might consider this remedy.
Speaker 2:But also, forgiveness is the key. Forgiveness is the key to That anger and that that offense. We have to, we, when we forgive quickly, We're, you're the one that set free when you forgive quickly. And so when you notice that you're carrying anything like offense or anger, you need to think about. Ask the Lord OK, what is this? Help me see this, give me some wisdom and help me to forgive. And, you know, let him show you the way. So it doesn't start off like that. But it's where it goes. So you know, you start with anger or offense and then you, it moves into again, it grows deep roots of bitterness. So it shares similar symptoms to phosphorus. It looks kind of like phosphorus that they have the fear of the dark, fear being alone. They're very sympathetic, like phosphorus Again.
Speaker 2:Muscle contractions, tendons, paralysis. It's a big remedy for paralysis. Cost to come is And paralysis from overexertion, from working too hard, from looking after other people. So you know, after you've had a grief or an injustice, something like that happened in your life and then you a paralysis comes or anything. Headaches start to come, you lose sleep, you know you stop sleeping well, you start getting sick a lot If, if you have a condition as a result of a grief or an injustice, you might consider cost to come to uproot that. And then they are mentally, they have mentally immovable points of view. So they weep easily. They weep from sympathy with other people, lots of muscle spasms. I know I'm kind of jumping around a bit here, but I'm just kind of going through the notes. Do you want to go through the second page, brie?
Speaker 1:Yeah, it kind of shifts gears a little bit too to some other things, not as much mental, these are, or causticum can be good for things that affect urinary organs and the bladder, which could go with muscle spasms. Yeah, as mentioned, involuntary urination and continence and the elderly, especially when the sphincters are weak, and that connects to the paralysis, the muscle paralysis. Yeah, that's interesting that, and this is totally homeopathy, so I don't know why this seems so interesting to me, but it's for muscle paralysis, which is loose and weak and the tight to constricted tendons, right, yeah, so that always is baffling to me.
Speaker 2:This is such a great point. I just want to talk about that for a minute. Such a great point? Yeah, So very often. And it's hard to get to change our mindset when we start using homeopathy, because in allopathy we're taking a medicine for the paralysis, We're taking a different medicine for the constriction, And homeopathy it's bringing homeostasis.
Speaker 1:So whether there's too much or too little And that's not just in this, but in everything in homeopathy- Mucus, warts, whatever, And bleeding like Arnica working to thicken your blood if that's what it needs, or thinn it if that's what it needs, That's right. It's homeostasis. You always say that.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 1:And yeah, that's just thought that was good And I'm getting that as I'm reading it. It's obvious that it can be opposing symptoms but treated with the same remedy. So right after incontinence we have constant urging and dribbling and prostate problems. So that's an interesting section because I don't know if we talk about that a lot when it comes to like UTIs or somebody had surgery recently and she was having bladder spasms. I wonder if that's stuff like that to think about. It can also be good like phosphorus for horse voices, especially in the morning Man, i need that, maybe I'll see you just sleep more. Or people who lose their voice easily. I think that's so cute when little kids and people have.
Speaker 2:I know I sound all rassy, i know.
Speaker 1:Costicum is also good for warts, especially around the fingers and nails, or warts on the end of the nose. That just like. That's so specific I love. Yeah, so interesting. And if you look up words, there are many specific keynotes for lots of remedies. It's pretty bizarre. Yep, it's great. Costicum is great for drooping eyelids, restless legs, especially at night, aggravated by cold, raw winds. And there's that raw word again. So Ross is to be popping up again.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Worse at three to four am And it's good for Bell's palsy, especially when the right side of the face is paralyzed.
Speaker 2:So earlier when I said paralysis and I've been seeing a lot of that after you know, with this thing that's going around, i'm seeing Bell's palsy more often than I ever had before. Years ago I'd never even seen a person with it And now I'm seeing it.
Speaker 1:Have you used costicum for it at all.
Speaker 2:Honestly, i don't remember.
Speaker 1:Yeah, i would be curious. I don't know what's the first one I would think of, but sounds like it could be a good one. So it can be good for MS. Yes, i love it, which is huge. I know many people living with MS with almost hopeless. There's not many options for people with MS.
Speaker 2:I remember a friend years ago, and that was probably 10 or 12 years ago. He was saying that his sister had, uh-oh, you froze. Was that frozen You?
Speaker 1:were frozen for a second, but you hear okay.
Speaker 2:Did you? did I need to repeat what I said?
Speaker 1:No, i think we heard the story That was she needed wipes for the baby. So That's a relief.
Speaker 2:yeah, Was it her Keep it. No, I heard you said you had a friend. Yeah, who? whose sister had MS and I told him homeopathy can help. They just didn't believe it. The doctor said there's no hope. So they just they didn't even try anything. It is super sound.
Speaker 1:The Cossackum person may have a desire for smoked foods, smoked meat and salty things, but doesn't like sweets. Interesting, yeah, that is specific, though. I mean I feel like I know a couple of people who especially smoked meat. Like my dad loves smoked meat and sweets. He likes them, but they're not his. If you were to crave something, it would absolutely be smoked meat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, paul has a smoker. He's smoking meat every single weekend and I'm like every single weekend we get smoked meat Like it's good right. But it is good, not good for you.
Speaker 1:No, it's a lot of meat And I'll kind of all eventually taste the same And I know maybe people listening are gonna be mad. I just said that.
Speaker 2:Well, it's the charcoal, So the fumes from the charcoal gets into your food, and so it's really not good for us to be eating charcoal food. but I'm not gonna.
Speaker 1:Well, okay, that's just. there's a rabbit trail smoker, right? Well, we'll talk about that later because I have more questions now. So just some last minute or at the end. Keynotes are craved. smoked foods are angry at injustice. Can be really upset and paralysis, yeah, of any kind. So that's costicum.
Speaker 2:It's a costicum. Do we have any questions about costicum?
Speaker 1:We don't have any questions that I can see about costicum. I know I'm a little bit behind Facebook. It's a little bit behind what we're saying.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So we can give it a second.
