Question 1

is there a homeopathic remedy which acts as an antihistamine?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: Homeopathic medicatios may have been appropriate for our ancestors however, "natural" does not mean "safe". A natural compound often contains hundreds of chemicals, many of which have not been studied. These "natural"complounds are not investigated by the fda for safety. Take a well studied medication that has been fda approved if you want defined safety and efficacy.

Question 2

can i give my toddler (2) homeopathic medicine such as hylands as well as benadryl for drying out mucus. his chest is congested and is having trouble ?

Accepted Answer

Yes..but...: We find that these meds do little or nothing to help kids under 6. A decade or so ago the review of ER visits for self medication overdoses in kids led to a recommendation they be avoided.

Question 3

is there a homeopathic remedy for dandruff?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Dandruff is also very easy to treat with a host of "natural" remedies ranging from sulfur to coal tar to selenium. Why do you ask? You may be the kind of person who would work especially well with a local evidence-based physician who's interested in "holistic" and "natural" remedies. We have several here. Best wishes.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Get diagnosis 1st: Please first see a neurologist to get a solid diagnosis.  Then, if wanting homeopathic treatment, you'll need a skilled homeopath because nystagmus isn't something for which you can successfully treat yourself.

Lots of them: Hydrate well.   Consider using a warm air vaporizer. Mix several teaspoons of honey into herbal tea  with a squeeze of lemon juice.  Or make tea with 2 tsp of marshmallow root bark per 1cup of hot water (steep in a covered pot for at least 5 minutes).  Drink several times a day or as needed to relieve coughing.

Question 8

is there a herb or homeopathic remedy for making me less sleepy?

Accepted Answer

Quite possibly but..: If you are sleepy, the first thing should be to see a doctor to determine the cause. There are many possible causes like sleep apnea, allergies, low thyroid or adrenal function, poor diet, anemia & chronic infections. Many herbs (like ashwagandha, rhodiola, cordyceps) may help, but may not be the answer. An individualized homeopathic remedy may help. My first advice is to find and treat the cause!

Question 9

is there a good homeopathic remedy for teen with anxiety/aspergers?

Accepted Answer

No, none effective: Truly homeopathic "medications" are made by repeated dilutions, so that the ingredient is not really in the medication anymore (just the "essence" of it remains). That means there is no active ingredient left to cause any benefit. However, that also implies that the homeopathic "medicine" should be pretty harmless. Other non-homeopathic ingredients are often added and may have scents and flavors.

Question 10

what are some good homeopathic remedy for pityriasis lichenoid chronica?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathic treatmen: This chronic skin rash is rare, and it may not respond to conventional treatments. http://tinyurl.com/c2rn22 Homeopathic treatment requires working with a professional homeopath and considering your complete case -- not just the skin rash. The remedy YOU need (of thousands) may differ from that needed by someone else with the same diagnosis. A correctly prescribed one initiates a healing process.
