I was recently sent a gift basket of Hyland\u2019s homeopathic remedies<\/a>.\u00a0 While I have always been interested in the idea of homeopathic treatments, I really do not know much about this alternative practice.\u00a0 Do you?<\/p>\n

So, I went about finding out more before actually trying any of the products.<\/p>\n

Homeopahty (aka homeopathic medicine) is a whole medical system <\/a>developed in Germany over 200 years ago, used to treat ailments as well as prevent them.\u00a0 This alternate medicine has been practiced in the US since early 1800\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In homeopathy it is believed that \u201clike cures like\u201d, meaning a condition can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people.\u00a0 While some studies support this theory, the general consensus is that the practice does little to actually treat illness.\u00a0 That said, there is very little research to rely on where homeopathy is concerned.<\/p>\n

Homeopathic medicines are very diluted, and many people swear by homeopathic treatment.\u00a0 Just be sure to always tell your health care provider of any alternative medicinal practices you may be using.<\/p>\n

Ok, back to my gift pack.\u00a0 This was a Hyland\u2019s Adult Gift Basket and included; Calms Forte (a sleep aid), Nerve Tonic (a stress reliever), Leg Cramps (to relieve pain from), Restful Legs (to relieve symptoms of), Arnica 30x (said to help with bruising, swelling, aches, pains, and muscle soreness), Bioplasma (a combo of minerals and salts designed to promote cellular health), Muscle Therapy Strips (strips to help with sore muscles), Muscle Therapy Gel (Arnica gel).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many people do suffer from leg issues, but I do not and don\u2019t know anyone who does personally, so did not try out the Leg Cramps or Restful Legs therapies.\u00a0 If I do have a bout with leg cramps at any point I will give it a go.<\/p>\n

I did try the Calms Forte and the Nerve Tonic though.\u00a0 I deal with head and neck pain regularly so the Nerve Tonic was an easy one for me.\u00a0 And I did feel like it relaxed the pain somewhat.\u00a0 Whether a placebo effect or not, if it helps it helps.\u00a0 I did sleep like a baby the night I took the Calms Forte, but almost always do and did not have the opportunity to take it on a sleepless night, as they are thankfully few and far between.<\/p>\n

As for the Arnica products.\u00a0 Arnica is a terrific ingredient and I do usually have a tube on hand for burns, cuts, scrapes, and bruises.\u00a0 It is a natural soother and helps in healing.\u00a0 But I usually use a pure Arnica gel with possibly a plant oil added.\u00a0 Hyland\u2019s brand does contain a couple of thickeners that, while probably officially classified as \u201cnatural\u201d, there are more natural ingredients that I would recommend.\u00a0 And the Arnica strips contain propylene glycol, a definite no-no.<\/p>\n

While I am always grateful to those who send me their products to sample and review, I have to tell it to you straight.\u00a0 And the straight answer from me here is:\u00a0 If you feel that homeopathic medicine is benefitting you, and you have cleared it with your primary care doctor, I say \u201cGo for it\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you are in the market to experiment with some homeopathic treatments, Hyland\u2019s <\/a>is definitely the place to start.\u00a0 They have been around for a good long time (the Hyland\u2019s Pharmacy was established in 1903!) and carry so many products it is dizzying.\u00a0 Everything from stress, to allergies, to cough and cold remedies.\u00a0 Must say, I am interested in trying out the Migraine formula.<\/p>\n

Do you have experience with homeopathic treatments?\u00a0 Please share your comments with us!<\/p>\n
