Homeopathic Medications for Fibrocystic Breast Disease

Homeopathics are a safe and extremely effective way of balancing your problems naturally by allowing your system to correct itself with gentle stimulation of your own immune response. Unlike so many conventional medications, homeopathics are never addictive. Once symptoms are relieved and resolved, you can stop taking them. Here is a list of just a few of the most common medications that I’ve used over the years:
Phytolacca Decandra (poke root)—comes to mind as the most prominent glandular remedy and almost always is useful in problems associated with mastitis. Tenderness of the breasts before and after menses. Breast tumors with the enlargement of Axillary glands. When a patient complains about breast pain in the upper outer quadrant radiating into the Axillary regions, I always think of this great medicine.
Conium Maculatum (poison hemlock)—indispensable in conditions that present with very hard nodules, tenderness, and swelling around menses. Painful swelling in the Axillary glands with numbness going down the arm.
Silicea Terra (pure flint)—as a consequence of defective nutrition and assimilation, these patients will complain of stitching (splinter-like) pains. Unhealthy tendency to suppuration with fistulas and abscess conditions, keloids, painful scars. Soreness of drawn-in nipples, sensation of a stone pressing in the breast.
Scrophularia Nodosa (knotted figwort)—useful in dissipation of nodules in the breast. The characteristic symptoms would be pain in all flexor muscles. Incidentally, very useful in Hodgkin’s disease.
Lac Caninum (dog’s milk)—this patient will present with symptoms of painful swelling in the breasts before menses, worse with jarring motion. This woman will hold both breasts firmly going up or down the stairs. Her nipples may be painful and the pain usually alternates from side to side.
Asterias Rubens (red starfish)—may have symptoms of ulceration in the breast, nodules, and indurations with lacerating pains that are worse at night; these pains may extend all the way from Axillary glands through the arm to the end of the little finger. Restlessness of lower extremities at night would very much indicate the use of red starfish.

The active ingredients are given in highly diluted forms to avoid toxicity. By virtue of their infinite dilution, homeopathic medications are completely safe and non-addictive, with no unwanted side-effects, even for babies, children, nursing mothers and during pregnancy. The success of homeopathic medicine clinically has been demonstrated by its international adoption and effectiveness in treatment of millions of people world-wide. Homeopathic medicine with its use of natural substances in minute doses, absence of harmful side effects, and holistic person oriented approach is attracting an ever-widening public.
According to World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathic medicine is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world and the fastest growing. Today, many well-known personalities subscribe to the safety and effectiveness of homeopathic medications, the most prominent being the British Royal Family.

Is Homeopathy a New Medicine?
Filed Under Homeopathy | 1 Comment
Homeopathy is not a new type of medicine. It actually precedes allopathic medicine. Known to the Greek people in the fifth century, homeopathy was introduced in the nineteenth century by the German doctor, Samuel Hahnemann, as a safe alternative form of medicine. By the turn of the twentieth century, homeopathy had gained widespread support and was practiced by doctors in more than fifty countries throughout the world. In the early 20th century, North America had no less than 22 homeopathic colleges and 100 homeopathic hospitals. The Royal Families of Europe and India have always preferred homeopathic treatment to other forms of treatment. The British Royal Family’s interests in Homeopathy continue to this day. Homeopathic medicine is now rapidly being embraced throughout the world as an increasing number of people are rediscovering its benefits.

How Does Homeopathy Work?
Filed Under Homeopathy | 1 Comment
Homeopathy is essentially a natural healing process in which the medications assist the patient to regain health by stimulating the body’s natural healing forces. Homeopathy, therefore, is concerned with the whole person rather than treating the patient simply as a “bearer” of disease.
Homeopathic medicine is successful in treating a wide range of conditions, often after conventional medicine has failed. Prescribing is based on all aspects of a patient’s condition. Homeopathic doctors work in the same way as their conventional colleagues. History taking, examination and investigation are all important in establishing the diagnosis (understanding just what is wrong). However, homeopathic doctors consider a wider range of aspects of the patient’s condition, such as personality traits, physical features, the effects of a variety of environmental influences, patterns of disease within families, and family and social relationships.
Homeopathic medicine integrates well with conventional medicine.

What is Homeopathic Medicine?
Filed Under Homeopathy | Leave a Comment
The basic principle of homeopathy has been known since the times of ancient Greeks. Derived from the Greek word homoios meaning “like”, homeopathy is the medical practice of treating like with like. This is to say, treating an illness with a substance that produces, in a healthy person, similar symptoms to those displayed by the person who is ill.
Current allopathic (conventional) opinion believes that symptoms are caused by the illness. Homeopathy, by contrast, sees the symptoms as the body’s reaction against the illness as it attempts to overcome it, and seeks to stimulate and not suppress this reaction.
According to World Health Organization (WHO), homeopathic medicine is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world and the fastest growing. Today, many well-known personalities subscribe to the safety and effectiveness of homeopathic medications, the most prominent being the British Royal Family.
