I experimented most of the Bach medicines on myself first, and usually to complement my homeopathy medicine. Bach remedies focus mainly on the mental health of the person and Homeopathy tries to address the mental issues, based on the physical issues.in all fairness, I must not forget to mention, Louise Hays book, ’Heal your life’ which became my quick guide to understand why a particular organ was repeatedly getting affected. She describes the ailment, the mindset and the likely reasons because of which the issue is persisting. It proved to be very helpful for me, till I gained confidence and got a firm grip over the subject matter.
The first time I gave both, Homeopathy and Bach was to a very close friend of mine, who complained of repeated lower back ache. She is the same age as I am, and our tastes, preferences are also similar. Because homeopathy gives weightage to the intrinsic nature of the person, my focus is also on ‘knowing’ the person well enough to be able to suggest a Homeo remedy.
She casually mentioned about her back ache and asked if I knew any Homeo pain relieving cream she could use to be able to ease the cramp and sleep peacefully. I suggested hot water bottle and Arnica cream and left it at that. The next day she called again, to say she was unable to bend, do the basic household chores and the pain was worse even after applying Arnica.
I was a little disturbed and quickly opened my Repertoire to check the ideal medicine. I suggested Rhus Tox -30cc; and told her to mix 15 pills in ½ a glass of water and sip 2 teaspoons every 30 minutes. And, to relieve her mental state I suggested she take Elm (3 drops straight from the bottle), because for the past 2 months she was going through a lot of stress and anxiety at home. She was taking care of the family and her ailing mother alone. She was trying some work from home options, but none were working for her, and the increased financial burden was getting to her.
I called her back in 2 hours to check if she felt any relief at all or was the pain aggravating. Her daughter answered saying, “Mummy is sleeping Aunty, whatever you gave this time seems to have worked.”
