\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last month I reported on a Hyland\u2019s <\/a>homeopathic gift basket that I had received.\u00a0 Admittedly, I knew very little about homeopathy and was out of my realm.\u00a0 Something else I was not aware of at the time was how many people are<\/em> in to homeopathy and swear by its results.<\/p>\n

The response to the article, and the conviction of the users of homeopathic treatments, spurred me on to learn more on this subject.\u00a0 I also tried some more products from Hyland\u2019s, more specific to my personal ailments, and will fill you in on that too.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s start off with the science of homeopathy.\u00a0 In my first article <\/a>I stated that I could not find much information on homeopathy.\u00a0 What I did find was mostly inconclusive as to the results of these treatments.\u00a0 More than one even declared them nothing more than placebos.<\/p>\n

You can see by reading the comments <\/a>from that article how passionate some are about homeopathy and its remedies.\u00a0 And, of course, others dismiss it completely.\u00a0 Since then I have received a lot of information on the subject, and it definitely is one that you need to investigate prior to using.\u00a0 A simple search may bring up a small amount of vague information, but those who truly understand and use this method are very well informed.<\/p>\n

I have been in correspondence with someone who has used homeopathic treatments her \u201centire life\u201d with great success.\u00a0 This person even states that homeopathic alternative therapies helped where medical doctors thought recovery from an accident was impossible.\u00a0 As to my earlier statement on finding little available research on homeopathy, my source provided me with these links to better information:<\/p>\n

Alternative Therapies: Homeopathic Resources and Information<\/h3>\n

\nhttp:\/\/www.homeopathic.org\/<\/a>
\nwww.naturalnews.com<\/a>\u00a0 (search homeopathy<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Once study shows that the placebo effect in homeopathy is no greater than in conventional medicine.\u00a0 Another study suggests that since homeopathy works in animals, it can not be a placebo.<\/p>\n

Well, personal experience is always the best measure.\u00a0 Since I deal with chronic headaches and neck pain, the good people at Hyland\u2019s sent me out Headache <\/a>and Migraine <\/a>formulas, as well as Nerve Tonic<\/a>.\u00a0 I take ibuprofen for the neck pain and have a prescription for the migraines, but swore off the ibuprofen for the week.\u00a0 I really am not comfortable taking as much ibuprofen as I do, but have tried many things and it is the one that works.<\/p>\n

Let me just state here, before anyone suggests I get my neck and head checked out, that I have had this issue since childhood and the pain is due to stress.\u00a0 Massage, stretching, yoga, and other forms of stress management do help some but not completely.\u00a0 The first day this week with neck pain I tried the Hyland\u2019s Headache formula.\u00a0 It is said to work on head pain that may extend to the base of the neck.\u00a0 Bingo!\u00a0 But\u2026it did not provide relief.\u00a0 I had a busy day, and downed a couple of acetaminophen an hour or so later and went about my business.<\/p>\n

The next day the neck and head pain was back and I figured I would have to let it turn in to a migraine so that I could just take the prescription medication and be done with it.\u00a0 Why not give the Hyland\u2019s a shot first?\u00a0 This time I tried the Nerve Tonic<\/a>, thinking that since the pain is due to stress maybe it would help.\u00a0 And guess what?\u00a0 It did!<\/p>\n

The Nerve Tonic took away my neck tension and headache so subtly that I didn\u2019t even have that \u201cahhh\u201d moment of relief I get with ibuprofen (if\u00a0 you get headaches, you know what I am talking about), but noticed later on in the day that it was gone.\u00a0 And it has been gone since then, going on three days now.\u00a0 I am truly amazed.\u00a0 Nothing I have tried has ever taken it away for longer than the medication lasts.<\/p>\n

On the Hyland\u2019s insert it says this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homeopathy is a natural approach to medicine that is thought to work by stimulating the body to safely heal itself.\u00a0 Homeopathic medicines don\u2019t suppress the symptoms of an illness, but rather stimulate the body\u2019s own healing mechanism.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stimulating the body\u2019s own healing mechanism.\u00a0 That sure sounds a lot healthier than numbing the symptoms, don\u2019t you think?\u00a0 These alternative remedies are safe, but I am no doctor and would definitely recommend you ask yours if you have concerns before trying anything new.<\/p>\n

The box of Hyland\u2019s Migraine is as yet unopened.\u00a0 I did not need it.\u00a0 But you can be sure that when I do I will give it a try.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
