Magic!

I was reminded of this patient yesterday when I was explaining Aconite.

A few years ago there was a dreadful fire in a squatter camp near to where we where staying. 96 shacks burnt down. I offered my services to anyone who wanted them. Oddly only pregnant women turned up.

The woman who stands out in my mind was 5 months pregnant: she had watched her shack burn down (a sudden shock), all her possessions where in there (her family was safe), she had not slept since the fire because of thinking of all the things she had lost and what could have happened (restless in mind, fear of death, anxiety), could not sit down (restless in body) and worst of all the baby had stopped moving since then (shock).

I gave her 3 doses of Aconite 200. One immediately, one in an hour and one before bed. I asked her to come back the next day as I was concerned for the baby.

The next morning she arrived. Firstly I did not recognise her. She was calm, she had slept, she had realised that all that was important to her (her family) was safe, everything could be built and bought again and the baby was moving.

3 little doses of Aconite 200, mind blowing. When Homoeopathy works it is magical.

Just in case you where wondering: I did send her for a scan, which confirmed that all was well for the baby and a few months later I saw her with her baby, shack re-built and life going on.
