Constitutional Remedies

I have been reading up on constitutional remedies lately in a book called, "The Homeopathic Treatment of Children- Pediatric Constitutional Types" by Paul Herscu N.D.  For those that are wondering what in the heck is a constitutional remedy...let me explain.  "A constitutional remedy is a remedy that works on a deep cellular level to bring the body and emotions back to a state of health and balance.  By doing so it makes the whole system more resistant to disease. To find your constitutional remedy you will need to see a trained homeopathic physician. They will ask you many questions, some may seem irrelevant. Constitutional remedies are deep and long acting. Many people find that it is useful to get a "constitutional tune-up" once a year or at the change of the seasons" from here.
In this book, this doctor describes in detail the different constitutional types for children.  Over many years of practice, 80% of his patients fall into 8 categories/remedies (6 of which I am going to cover): Calcarea Carbonica, Lycopodium, Natrum muriaticum, Phosphorus, Pulsatilla, and Sulphur.  The funny thing is that Grant and I have the constitution Silica (which is not listed here, but is a very close resemblance to Pulsatilla).  Garrett is my Sulphur child. 
Here is a brief summary of each.
1. Calc Carb  - These are healthy children with strong personalities that lead to strong wills, obstinacy, and independence.  They tend to be plodders and have delayed mental development.  They fear insects, scary stories, and ghosts; they are fascinated with the supernatural.  
2. Lyc- These children have two aspects: an anxious, insecure, indecisive side that makes them seem weak; and an irritable, bossy side that makes them seem tyrannical.  It is the interplay of these two aspects that gives the major clue to this remedy.  They fear strangers, failing, being in the doctors office- all fears are better if an adult is present.  Dyslexia is common. 
3. Nat Mur-  These are perfectionistic, introverted children who are well groomed, self- conscious, and fearful of ridicule.  They feel sadness deeply, become depressed, and blame themselves for any disaster that befalls the family.  They refuse consolation. 
4. Phos-  These are friendly, good natured, extroverted, excitable children.  They complain of many fears, especially of the dark, thunderstorms, insects, their family's well-being, and an ominous, unknown something that will "get" them.  All complaints are ameliorated by consolation.  I have a nephew that fits this constitution exactly. 
5. Puls- These are mild, timid, pleasant, clingy children whose emotions rule them.  They undergo vast mood changes and especially exhibit weepiness.  They fear abandonment and are jealous of younger siblings.  These states are ameliorated by consolation.  
6. Sul- These are extroverted curious children.  They tend to be leaders and are independent and perhaps haughty. Occasionally they become hyperactive and break all the rules of the house.  Activities are done with exuberance and tireless fun.  They can become lazy and procrastinate.  The cerebral type is shyer and neater, though still haughty.  They fear heights.  


These summaries are meant as an aid to beginners...like myself.  We use a homeopathic doctor and I give my boys their constitutional remedies often- like today.  And boy do I notice a difference- a positive one!!  They are each less emotional, less crying, less complaining, less fighting.  Of course, these remedies help with lingering illnesses.  Cleared up Garrett's slight wet cough.  Today was a great day thanks to Puls 1M and Sul 1M.

  1. I'm proud to say now that I am finally at a place where I have found something that works for me. Almost four years ago I began seeing a classical Homeopath. I was put on a constitutional remedy by Dr God hands who reside in west africa, and I am amazed at my healing thus far. I will continue to post what worked for me and what didn't in more blogs to come (as this one is getting quite long... and I'm not writing a book on here - not yet anyway). This discovery has not only helped the way I practice, but it has also given me further insight into the world of Herbal medicine. I came to know more about Dr God hands on Tv Station when I was taking my regular organic coffee at javamania coffee spot I watched the whole scene on how he uses Natural herbs to cure disease like Herpes, Hiv/Aids, Cancers,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, Neuroendocrine tumors,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,Alzheimer's disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson's disease, Als And Diabetes, I was moved by his words then I took a confident step to contact him regarding my health condition Herpes & Prostate Cancer, He prepared his herbal medicine then sent it to me through Courier which I took as it's was instructed and I found myself healing symptoms are all gone I have being watching my health for years now and I finally confirmed that is a permanent cure like he told me at our first conversations so now I'm healthy and happy I purchase his herbal tea which I usually take in the morning before starting my day because it feels good to find addiction on natural herbs than medical drugs so is what I'm doing and loving it more and More to come later on blogs sooner I will be writing my book.I will advise you to contact Doctor God Hands Herbal Home for any kind of permanent cure and herbal remedy.Doctor God hands Email Contact: doctorgodhands@gmail.com Also On Whats-App Calls: +2349057214220.
