Dear Shauna,

When people say don't self-treat, they're saying don't try to take you're own constitutional case, because you probably aren't objective to know what's peculiar in your case, and there are things you couldn't possibly notice in yourself--how your handshake feels, your complexion, and other things that can only be perceived by another. But for acute conditions, you simply must learn to prescribe for yourself; this is the great value of homeopathy, that you can encounter a difficulty, some set-back, during the course of your day, whether it's a nose-bleed or an injury, or an unexpected sore throat, and you just take out your remedy kit, pop in a phosphorus or arnica or ferrum phos, and you're on your way, barely missing a beat, while anyone else in your position would have to cancel their plans, return home, see their doctor....Treating yourself...yes, absolutely.

Yay Canada!
