HOMOPATHIC TREATMENT

Aconitum napellus:
A panic attack that comes on suddenly with very strong fear (even fear of
death) may indicate this remedy. A state of immense anxiety may be
accompanied by strong palpitations, shortness of breath, and flushing of the
face. Sometimes a shaking experience will be the underlying cause. Strong
feelings of anxiety may also occur when a person is just beginning to come
down with a flu or cold.
Argentum nitricum:
This remedy can be helpful when anxiety develops before a big event: an
exam, an important interview, a public appearance or social engagement.
Dizziness and diarrhea may also be experienced. People who need this
remedy are often enthusiastic and suggestible, with a tendency toward
peculiar thoughts and impulses. They often crave sweets and salt (which
usually make their symptoms worse).
Arsenicum album:
People who are deeply anxious about their health, and extremely concerned
with order and security, often benefit from this remedy. Obsessive about
small details and very neat, they may feel a desperate need to be in control
of everything. Panic attacks often occur around midnight or the very early
hours of the morning. The person may feel exhausted yet still be restless
fidgeting, pacing, and anxiously moving from place to place. These people
may also have digestive problems or asthma attacks accompanied by
anxiety.
Calcarea carbonica:
This remedy is usually indicated for dependable, solid people who become
overwhelmed from physical illness or too much work and start to fear a
breakdown. Their thoughts can be muddled and confused when tired, which
adds to the anxiety. Worry and bad news may agitate them, and a nagging
dread of disaster (to themselves or others) may develop. Fear of heights and
claustrophobia are also common. A person who needs this remedy is often
chilly and sluggish, has a craving for sweets, and is easily fatigued.

Gelsemium:
Feelings of weakness, trembling, and mental dullness (being "paralyzed by
fear") suggest a need for this remedy. It is often helpful when a person has
stage-fright about a public performance or interview, or feels anxious before
a test, a visit to the dentist, or any stressful event. Chills, perspiration,
diarrhea, and headaches will often occur with nervousness. Fear of crowds,
a fear of falling, and even a fear that the heart might stop are other
indications for Gelsemium.
Ignatia amara:
A sensitive person who is anxious because of grief, loss, disappointment,
criticism, loneliness (or any stressful emotional experience) may benefit
from this remedy. A defensive attitude, frequent sighing, and mood swings
are other indications. The person may burst unexpectedly into either tears
or laughter. Headaches that feel like a nail driven into the side of the head,
and cramping pains in the abdomen or back, are often seen when this
remedy is needed.
Kali phosphoricum:
When a person has been exhausted by overwork or illness and feels a deep
anxiety and inability to cope, this remedy may help. The person is jumpy
and oversensitive, and may be startled by ordinary sounds. Hearing
unpleasant news or thinking of world events can aggravate the problems.
Insomnia and an inability to concentrate may develop, increasing the sense
of nervous dread. Eating, warmth, and rest often bring relief. Headaches,
backaches, and nervous digestive upsets are often seen when this remedy is
needed.
Lycopodium:
Individuals likely to respond to this remedy feel anxiety from mental stress
and suffer from a lack of confidence. They can be self-conscious and feel
intimidated by people they perceive as powerful (yet may also swagger or
be domineering toward those with whom they feel more comfortable).
Taking on responsibility can cause a deep anxiety and fear of failure,
although the person usually does well, once started on a task.
Claustrophobia, irritability, digestive upsets with gas and bloating, and a
craving for sweets are often seen when this remedy is needed.

Natrum muriaticum:
Deep emotions and a self-protective shyness can make these people seem
reserved, aloof, and private. Even when feeling lonely, they tend to stay
away from social situations, not knowing what to say or do. (Inhibitions
sometimes leave completely if they turn to alcohol, which makes them feel
embarrassed afterwards.) Easily hurt and offended, they can brood, bear
grudges, dwell on unhappy feelings, and isolate themselvesrefusing
consolation even when they want it. However, they are often sympathetic
listeners to other peoples problems. Claustrophobia, anxiety at night (with
fears of robbers or intruders), migraines, and insomnia are often seen when
this remedy is needed.
Phosphorus:
People who need this remedy are openhearted, imaginative, excitable, easily
startled, and full of intense and vivid fears. Strong anxiety can be triggered
by thinking of almost anything. Nervous and sensitive to others, they can
overextend themselves with sympathy to the point of feeling exhausted and
"spaced out" or even getting ill. They want a lot of company and
reassurance, often feeling better from conversation or a back-rub. Easy
flushing of the face, palpitations, thirst, and a strong desire for cold,
refreshing foods are other indications for Phosphorus.
Pulsatilla:
People who need this remedy often express anxiety as insecurity and
clinginess, with a need for constant support and comforting. The person
may be moody, tearful, whiny, even emotionally childish. (Pulsatilla is a very
useful remedy for children.) Getting too warm or being in a stuffy room
often increases anxiety. Fresh air and gentle exercise often bring relief.
Anxiety around the time of hormonal changes (puberty, menstrual periods,
or menopause) often is helped with Pulsatilla.
Silicea :
People who need this remedy are capable and serious, yet are also nervous,
shy, and subject to bouts of temporary loss of confidence. Anxiety can be
extreme when they are faced with a public appearance, interview,
examination, or any new job or task. Worry and overwork can bring on
headaches, difficulty concentrating, and states of exhaustion,

oversensitivity, and dread. Responsible and diligent, they often overreact

and devote attention to tiny detailsmaking their worries (and their work)
more difficult. They often have low stamina and come down with colds, sore
throats, or other illnesses after working hard or being under stress.

Nine Remedies For a Calm Mind

The most common remedies for nuisance anxiety and nervousness are listed below but chronic
anxiety disorders will need a course of treatment so for best homeopathic results do make an
appointment with a qualified homeopath.
As always, homeopathy treats animals just as effectively as humans so if your animal companion
is prone to anxiety or panic, the appropriate remedy will help him or her also.
Instructions on how often to give a homeopathic remedy for mild or transient anxiety is available
at the end of the remedy list.

1. Aconite napellus (Acon.)

Aconite is one of the best remedies for waves of fear or outright panic. Symptoms are sudden,
intense and may follow a shock such as an accident or natural disaster. The person is agitated,
restless, and fearful. They can think they are about to die and may even predict the time of death.
Other symptoms may include: dry skin and mouth; thirst; pounding heart. Aconite can also treat
ongoing anxiety caused by a past traumatic event.
Remember: Rapid onset, intense symptoms, agitation, fear of death, panic attacks.

2. Argentum nitricum (Arg-n.)

they dwell on the anxiety, the worse it becomes. They are hurried, feel the heat, and crave sugar
or sweet things. Sugar can lead to digestive upsets and diarrhoea and flatulence may be triggered
by anxiety. People who do well with Arg-n may also have strange compulsions and What if
thoughts. These can include things such as stepping into a line of traffic, throwing themselves
from a height, or poking something into a power outlet. Anxiety worsens with overheating and
they feel better in cool fresh air and away from crowds.
Remember: Apprehension and anxiety. Strange imaginings and what if thoughts.
Craving for sugar. Worse when overheated.

3. Arsenicum album (Ars.)

The Arsenicum anxiety focuses on issues of security and safety, what will happen in the future,

dark, insects, spiders, and animals, especially dogs, are common. They cant stand hearing about
or seeing unpleasant things and acts of cruelty. They can sometimes struggle with confusion and
worry that they are going insane.
Remember: Fear of change and losing control; tiring on exertion; perspiring easily; anxiety
on hearing about unpleasant things.

5. Gelsemium sempervirens (Gels.)

People who need Gels. suffer from performance anxiety that leads to weakness of muscles. Any
exertion produces trembling of the muscles knees may knock, legs may shake, and hands can
tremble. They can feel paralysed by the anxiety, helpless and want to hide away. Gelsemium is
one of the remedies used for agoraphobia (fear of wide open spaces) and influenza when the
sufferer has weakness and trembling.
Remember: Anxiety, weakness, trembling, desire to hide away, unable to cope.

6. Kali arsenicosum (Kali-ar.)

Eczema.
This really needs "constitutional" treatment by a homeopathic vet but is worth trying the
following for a short period (one dose twice daily for up to 10 days )
Sulphur 6C if skin is dry and itchy.
Graphites 6C if eczema is wet.

Worms
China 6C one dose twice daily for 10 days, a break for 7 days, then a further 7 day course can be
used as a preventative. Although there are remedies that can theoretically promote expulsion of
worms where they are currently present in animals, there is not enough evidence to rely on their
actions alone.

Kennel Cough : With thanks to www.gsdhelpline.com

1. Aconite- should be given as early as possible in the infection when it will help to speed the
immune reaction. Useful if the dog is restless and has a fever.
2. Phosphorus- indicated in dry cough with flecks of blood appearing in the nasal passages. The
animal may show excitability. Rapid breathing, dry cough, hoarseness.
3. Bryonia- Worse for movement, so the animal is reluctant to move, and when it does the cough
is worse. Dry cough, very thirsty.
4. Spongia Tosta- Cough is harsh and dry, and a whistling sound may be present. Better for rest
and often better after eating.
5. Ipecac- Coughing produces reflex vomiting which can be frequent. The cough is worse at
night. Cold aggravates the cough. Blood may show in the vomit and the expectoration from the
cough. The respiration has been described as "sighing"
6. Carbo Veg.- There is pronounced air hunger and the animal seeks the cool open air. Cough
worse in the evening. This is a valuable remedy for animals which show acute respiratory
distress at night.

Use Petroleum 6C to prevent travel sickness. Give a dose just before the journey starts, then at
hourly intervals up to a maximum of 4 doses.
Use Cocculus 6C for a dog that has excessive drooling or has been sick. Give one dose then
repeat every 30 minutes for a maximum of 4 doses.

Parvo Virus.
The dog must be seen by a vet throughout the course of the illness as intravenous fluids may be
necessary. There are no drugs that will arrest the illness the following 3 remedies are very useful
(and you will probably need to use them all)
1. At the first sign of blood in stool or vomit give Phosphorus 30C hourly for 4 doses.
2. If parvovirus is confirmed by your vet, start to give Parvovirus nosode 30C, 4 doses daily until
the dog recovers**
3.Give China 6C four times daily to counteract the effects of dehydration.**

** When giving 2 remedies as above, do not give them together, but have at least one hour
between each remedy.

To note:
Arsenicum Album can always follow Nux Vomica but Nux Vomica should be avoided after
Arsenic Album.
Calcaria Carb should never be given before Sulphur.
Nux Vomica works at its best after Sun Set

Smelly Skin & Ear Infections

Colloidal Silver - natural anti- fungal, virus, bacteria antibiotic drops. Use straight as a ear drops,
eye cleanse for conjunctivitis in dogs and kittens with Chlamydia.
- Dilute Colloidal Silver and use as a skin rinse to rid fungal infection on animals who have
smelly itchy coats (usually brought on by using chemical antibiotics that destroy the good gut
flora)

Homeopathic suggestions which may alleviate Skin Problems

Sulphur: for red and itching skin, made worse by heat. Gums may be red. Good to give with
other skin remedies.

Arsen Alb: skin is dry and scaly, shedding of epidermal scales occurring and accompanied by
harsh, lustreless hair. Animal seeks warmth and shows a desire for small quantities of water
frequently taken. Symptoms become worse after midnight and systemic disturbances include
diarrhoea.

Rhus Tox: when skin aggravated by wet and dog shows stiffness when moving after rest but
moves more easily when exercise process. Skin shows papular of vesicular rash with much
itching and redness. Warmth lessons severity of symptoms.

Antimonium Crud: skin lesions more pronounced on neck, back and limbs, taking form of
papular eruptions which later become scabby, discharging a yellowish secretion. Itching is worse
towards evening and aggravated by warmth.

Mezereum: when skin lesions appear on head in form of large scabs with an underlying purulent
discharge. Sensitivity to touch. Itching rash common over bony areas being surrounded by a red
zone. Exacerbated by scratching and warmth. Should be considered in chronic eczema where
symptoms agree.

Hypericum: suitable for sensation due to external factors, e.g. photosensitization. The resulting
skin lesions may affect non-pigmented areas and appear as reddish ulcerated areas which itch
and have a peeled look. There may be accompanying systemic changes such as jaundice.

Hepar Sulph: Remedy of choice when lesions show extreme sensitivity to external stimuli and
pus is beginning to form. The skin is usually swollen and shiny with a tense appearance. Helpful
in drying up the underlying purulent discharge in those cases attended by crusts and scabs.

Psorinum: nosode may be necessary in eczemas of a particularly unpleasant nature with

pronounced musty odour and severe itching. Skin is usually dry, and the lesion is frequently of a
vesicular of pustular type.

Cacillinum: general inter-current remedy which activates the skin, this nosode will be of service.
Particularly suitable in cases with dry scaly lesions.

Tellurium: when this remedy is indicated the skin lesions usually take the form of circular
reddish areas, frequently on both sides of the body in symmetrical fashion. The outer ear flap is a
predilection site.

With skin problems, they unfold usually from one remedy to the next. For instance, skin could go
from one state to another as the healing process occurs and would then call for another remedy

which suits the following process. I usually suggest Newton's Detox and Skin Complex. I would
get that if you can. Or along with a choice or two of the above remedies I would also get
Chelidonium for the liver and Apis Mel. for changes in kidney tissue accompanied by oedema
and swelling as well as Urtica Urens if you want to help eliminate the waste product via the urine
(it promotes urination).

we have one rotating homeopathy kit that we use for our street animals..i dont know what 'injury'
or 'gunpowder' is in homeopathic parlance, but thats the name the homeopathy store has given in
india...our instructions is as follows:
1.Injury 30 -for cuts, wounds etc. Give twice a day or more depending on the extent.
2.Gunpowder30-for deep wounds.
3.Shock -To help an animal in shock, treat fear etc.
4.Hypericum 30 or above -For spinal injuries, paralysis of the hind legs etc..start as soon as
possible for best results. It works...lame animals begin to walk again!
5.Sulphur 30-For all skin related problems
6.Camphor 30 -to treat maggot infested wounds.
7.Hekla Lava- for gum infections.
8. Arnica-For pain.
9. Cinna 6x-for deworming.
but these are just for injuries..what i'd really like to do is make the animals less aggressive on the
streets....often, they chase vehicles..sometimes, i think they do it in play...once, i was cycling on
the street and this one dog kept running behind me, barking...knowing that running away from a
chasing dog is the worst thing one can do, i stopped..and the dear chap tried to climb over me
and attempted to lick my face...it is heartbreaking to know that these very dogs are labelled as
'violent' and captured to be culled ..altho' sometimes, they are territorial and become fierce when
other dogs from other areas try to enter their street..the worst time is the mating season when
unsterilised dogs go crazy. they do demonstrate pack behaviour..and if the alpha in the pack is
aggressive, the rest follow. to remove them from the street(who will take them?) and to destroy
them is NOT an option. vaccinations and collars are for their protection, but if i can somehow
figure out a way to calm them down, then man and beast can live without fear of each other.

Post subject: street dogs in India

I better understand the situation. It is complex as you say. I think this is a larger problem than
you can deal with of course. Society has to take responsibility. We have the same issues here.
People can adopt a dog, let it run loose, vaccinated or unvaccinated, and nothing is done about it.
I used to jog in a place I lived in Washington state and there was a pack of dogs allowed to roam.
They would sometimes see me and come as a group aggressively, even circling around me like
you see wolves act when hunting. I had to carry a big stick...
I always worried that some child would get attacked by them.
I think you are doing the best you can under the circumstances. I suggest that when you
vaccinate you use just one vaccine at a time, e.g., just Rabies by itself. Less chance of
complications.
If we assume giving just Rabies, then would it be possible to watch the dog for a couple of weeks
after that? I can give you some hints as to what remedy to give for behavioral changes following
Rabies vaccine. They are brief but under the circumstances the best we can do.
1. If the dog becomes more aggressive, attacking or even killing other animals, give Lyssin 200c,
one dose.
2. If any physical problems develop where there is bleeding or the skin turning bluish, give
Lachesis 200c, one dose.
3. If the dog becomes jumpy, over-reacting to sounds, acting like it is seeing things not there,
barking and howling excessively, give Belladonna 200c, one dose.
4. If the dog starts acting wild, ferocious, almost crazy, give Stramonium 200c, one dose.
5. If the dog begins to show excessive sexual behavior, give Hyoscyamus 200c, one dose.
There are other remedies possible. Look at the rubric "Hydrophobia" in the mental section of the
repertory.
