My cleaning lady showed up to clean our house today with a debilitating migrane and very light-sensitive eyes. It showed up suddenly on Sunday–four days ago! She was happy to clean the house but I didn’t want her to have to work while she was suffering. Of course I knew a homeopathic remedy would help her, so I took a quick look at Dr. Luc’s book The People’s Repertory and figured out Belladonna was the right remedy for her. I mixed up a bottle and gave her a teaspoon. Five minutes later the headache had completely disappeared. It was still gone two hours later when she left the house.
Of course she was thrilled. Her doctor had told her to take aspirin and call him in a month. A month! She said, “You are a good doctor!”
Of course, Belladonna is a great headache remedy for a headache which came on suddenly, but other remedies may be most appropriate for yours. Dr. Luc’s book The People’s Repertory is the ideal reference for acute problems such as this. You can look up the remedies addressing your symptoms (“headaches”) and read about which remedy most closely approximates your particular constellation of symptoms. Get it right and it works like magic. Sometimes it really is just that simple.
