Merc Sol, derived from soluble mercury. If you think of the characteristics of mercury - it's commonly used in thermometers and therefore is ever changing it's levels! The Merc Sol individual may struggle in finding equilibrium in life. Everything may feel and BE extreme for this individual. Whether they are too hot or too cold, sweating, but still chilly, ultra passionate about something and then burnt out the next day. This person tends to live in the "in-betweens" and can never truly settle. Key physical keynotes about this remedy: - profuse, offensive perspiration - all discharges smell, breath smells, etc. - increased salivation, drooling on the pillow at night, yet very thirsty - coated tongue, with tooth marks impressed in the tongue - swollen glands, ulcers, anything that breaks down at a surface level - worse at night, and also worse from the warmth of the bed - usually has to keep at least one foot or both feet poking out from the covers If you think more about Mercury as an element, we know it's fluid and ever changing. This person may also be guarded and somewhat secretive on the surface, with a lot of inner chaos. They may be slow to answer and slightly suspicious. They are deeply sensitive to criticism with a lot of retained resentment. They can be very intelligent and perceptive at their best or on the flip side, scattered and unable to find equilibrium at their worst. The main thread that ties all the themes of this remedy together is the offensiveness. The smelly discharges, the body struggling to eliminate properly, sitting right on the edge of holding it all together. Can you think of any Merc Sols in your life? I'll add a celebrity example in the comments!

Thanks for a great call today @Stephanie Prather :) We talked all sorts of things from the Narayani remedies to meridien remedies - the incredible War Mix remedy and Drawing Pills Remedy for deep seated infections. How the body innately expells toxins & how to further support the process with homeopathy. Homeopathic dosing for animals, chickens and fish. And so much more! See you in the next coffee chat ☕

Hiya friends - I talked about dosing for animals in my workshop on Saturday and thought I would leave some of my thoughts and tips here! Animal dosing 101 🐶🐱🐮🐓 Here's the thing - homeopathy isn't so cut and dry as the classical homeopaths make it out to be. And I think that is GREAT news. Because, we can figure out systems and ways to use it that work best for us and our unique circumstances! Here are just a few examples of how we have been giving remedies to animals (both me from experience, and my clients from their experiences!) Doggos 🐶 - give 5-10 drops in communal water bowl as needed, give a few drops on a treat multiple times a day for individualized care, drop 2 drops directly on wound or area of concern, drops 5 drops between shoulder blades to absorb that way, drop on gloved hand and rub on gums Chickens 🐓 - add drops of remedy to communal water reservoir! Cats 🐱 - I don't know much about cats, but I do know they can be picky! If adding drops to their water doesn't work, it may be vital to drop the remedy directly on their favorite food or simple on their nose to absorb through their mucous membrane Cows/Horses 🐮 - add drops to communal water reservoir (will likely need to be 10-20 drops since there are bigger water reservoirs!), drop on gloved hand and rub the remedy on the nose or gums, drop the remedy between shoulder blades for absorption. If animals are bottle fed, can give remedy in bottle! Fish!! Ok this is no joke, but I actually heard a lecture a couple of weeks ago where a goldfish was struggling and the owner dropped 2 drops of the well indicated remedy in the goldfish bowl. The fish perked right back up & went on to live its life 🐠 Isn't homeopathy the freaking best?! Got any other animals you are curious about dosing for? Let me know in the comments!

a) ARNICA b) BELLADONNA c) CHAMOMILLA If you are BRAND new to homeopathy, this is where I recommend you start with homeopathic remedies and get familiar with remedy notes, indications, and dosing basics! Why start here? Arnica, Belladonna and Chamomilla are the top 3 most commonly indicated homeopathic remedies for first aid situations. There's probably at least one use case you can think of even in the last week where you could have used one of these remedies to support your body or a loved ones. Arnica - you've probably heard of before. Arnica is a go-to for muscular strain, trauma and bruising, any immediate bump, bruise or blunt force trauma to the body. Key examples of when to use Arnica - Kid falls off a bike and gets bruised up, you take a gnarly fall while skiing, you get in a car accident and need immediate physical (and emotional) trauma support, you have an appt at the dentist where they will be poking & prodding around your gums, inducing some sort of direct bruising/trauma to the mouth. Belladonna - think of this remedy when there is heat, swelling and throbbing pains involved. It can be used to support the body through a fever that seems to come on suddenly and can even support the body through skin rashes and other first aid ailments where heat, throbbing and sudden onset are the main characteristics. Chamomilla - this remedy is one of the ones that converts people to true believers in the power of homeopathy! A baby that's getting their first teeth in, who can't be consoled. A couple drops of Chamomilla on the gums and baby and parents can sleep for the first time in WEEKS. That's just one example. Chamomilla is derived from the Chamomille plant and is well indicated for supporting soothing and calming of the body. Even if you have an injury that is just chipping away at your nervous system and you need gentle pain relief, Chamomilla can be well indicated. Or a nervous pup who just needs a bit of emotional support. DOSING: It's super simple to start dosing.
