Exciting new research on my fave remedy! 😍

New research sheds a bright light on the wound healing effects of Arnica montana...

Objectives
This study aimed to determine whether different homeopathic potencies of A. montana induce distinct, potency-specific effects on fibroblast proliferation, migration, and wound healing–related protein expression in vitro.

Methods
3T3-L1 fibroblasts were treated with 6q, 30cH, or 200cH potencies of A. montana for up to 72 hours. Cell morphology was assessed by phase-contrast microscopy; viability and proliferation by MTT assay; and wound closure by scratch-wound migration assay. Laminin, fibronectin, fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) protein levels were quantified using ELISA and immunocytochemistry. Control groups included untreated medium and vehicle (unsuccussed solvent).

Results
Scratch-wound assays demonstrated a marked, potency-specific enhancement of fibroblast migration and wound closure following treatment with A. montana, with the 200cH potency inducing the most rapid and complete closure over 72 hours. These functional effects were accompanied by increased fibroblast proliferation at later time points and higher intracellular levels of laminin, fibronectin, FGF and TGF-β1 protein, particularly in the 200cH group, while cell morphology remained unaffected across all conditions.

Conclusion
Among the tested potencies, A. montana 200cH showed the greatest stimulatory effect on fibroblast proliferation, migration, and wound healing-related protein expression. This study provides the first comparative evaluation of multiple A. montana potencies in a fibroblast wound-healing model, suggesting a potential potency-associated cellular response in vitro.

The bugs are going around, and they are paying us a visit. Here’s the remedies I’m currently taking and why, and what you should think about when figuring out your remedy at home.

Back from conference and honestly, what a wonderful few days!

It was great to catch up with colleagues and friends, see my people 'in 3D', meet some new faces, and just be around those who love homeopathy as much as I do.

The highlight for me was Tracey Bonnington's presentation on a new remedy proving — Patete. For those who don't know, a proving is how we come to understand what a homeopathic remedy actually does. A group of (willing) people take the remedy and carefully document their experiences over time — what shifts physically, mentally, emotionally. It's how we know what our remedies will be used for. The Patete proving was really something — by all accounts it affected everyone involved quite deeply (including many of us listening to the presentation!) and I can already see it becoming a very important remedy for our wahine.

Also looking forward to being more involved in the next conference alongside my very good friend Barbara Roberts — more to come on that!

Off to the Homeopathic Conference today in our own capital, Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara) to meet with my peeps! 💕

Very cool!

Homeopathy During the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918-19

Without exception, homeopaths reported a lower percentage of pneumonia cases across all their populations, because prompt homeopathic treatment cut short the course of influenza and prevented it from progressing to later stages or complications.

As an example, among 28 homeopathic physicians from Central Iowa, 18 answered a detailed survey, in which 5,032 cases of influenza were reported, only 137 of which developed pneumonia. “We should be proud of the small percentage that developed pneumonia, less than 3 percent, against an estimated 30 percent of the Old School."

How homeopathy works - simplified version.

This is a question we get asked a lot, and that most people don’t know the answer to.

Taking out the science stuff, here is a simple explanation (in my typical fashion) of how it all works.
