When I travel I carry a small cashe of medicdines - I have found that what ever I have will normally look after most acute ailments. If someone has diarrohea, mercury: because that's what I had, bloody does wonders! Headaches? Maybe Sulp, does the job. Whatever someone has, I use polycrests - it could be Bell, Bry, Phyt. or any other polycrest, it does the job beautifully.
What I am trying to say is that Homeopathic remedies are very broad based and the polycrests can look after most ailments - be it a backache, pain in the throat, or travel nausea - no worries, our remedies will do wonders - without really taking a case.

When I am travelling and someone comes to me and says that they ate some thing from the station and that they are are feeling nauseous, I give them what I have with me: it could be Led. or Phos or Aloe or Arg nit. it does not matter really, because all of them will look after the immediate problem; and most likely allievate or expunge the ailment.

Travelling once from Delhi to Goa, there was an announcement asking if ther were any doctors on board to help one of their cooks who had taken ill with high fever/ague. I happened to have Eurp perf and went through and gave it to him.

He recovered, as they said, MAJICALLY - and me and my family got given special food,etc. throughout the journey.
Good, Eh?

While cleaning up the basement at Masie Panos' home, we came across many old kits that were given to her by other doctors. Most of the kits contained not more than 18 vials. Many had only a dozen. They were all major polychrests.

Maisie said that it was really impressive that these old docs could do so much with so little. She then said that given ANY general case of Diarrhea, it has been her experience that Arsenicum alb will be helpful. Maybe a more exact simillimum will clear it faster, but Arsenicum will usually have an effect.

And it is this knowledge of "general effects" that the old guys knew so well.

This all fascinating

I have always carried aconite and arnica in the car, and a few years ago added Hypericum and Apis..(children's first aid accident kit!)

I wish I felt the same about my birthing kit. When I'm with a woman in labour and carrying the Helios Kit, I still have at least another 10 remedies with me, "just in case"

So far, to be honest, I think that less than 25% of my prescriptions "work." Although when they do, it is so obvious. Except at the last birth, when my client began to slowly bleed. As we were leaving to go to hospital, I did a double check and gave her Ipecac. It was only the next day that it occurred to me that by the time we had got to hospital, despite the doctor removing a large dark clot, she did not bleed any more, even though the scar on her uterus had begun to separate. She lost very little blood at surgery, and with arnica 1M daily for 5 days, she was thrilled that she did not have a single bruise (and she had had a previous caesarean, so had the experience to compare) I was pleased because I watched the surgery, and doctors are rough! During a labour, complaints are "acute"

I wonder if that is why we seemed to prescribe better during student low cost 1/2 hour clinical consultations than 1 - 1 1/2 hr consultations? We did not have time to get over whelmed with information and disappear up our various essence / plant / kingdom , lesion , method ology /oppathy still not understood theories???? (this is not meant in any way to be offensive to those who can and do practice in these ways)

I have long felt that homeopathy is being spoiled by the reliance soley on computer repertorising- there is more to homeopthy than remedies, of which we have too many , in my view.
