See the slight discoloration on the base of my palm, encircled? I had forgotten that I no longer had Kung-Fu skills*, and palm-struck a rootball to loosen it up. The knots of roots on the rootball did not budge. My meaty palm, however, did. A huge bruise was starting to develop, purple-red and oh-so painful. I took some homeopathic arnica montana, and as of this morning, the bruise is faded to the almost nothing you see in the pic.I don't know why homeopathic remedies work for me. They don't work for everyone. My rational mind still thinks that the whole thing is a bunch of hooey despite years of healing with this modality. I will not argue, however, with positive results.
More posts coming up this week with pics of our tree-planting efforts.
[actually, I never had Kung-Fu skills. Shhh, don't tell my ego.]
Ouch. Seriously. A bruise there has to offend extra much.
ReplyDeleteI love that homeopathic works for you and your credulous faith... I am the same with acupuncture... it has saved me many times and yet I am always second guessing myself when I think of going back.
WV is "abless" and I guess we need to appreciate a bless when we get one!
One time I tried to demonstrate to my medical students that homeopathy didn't work and was total hooey after a spirited debate on its virtues. I snatched up one of the little tubes of sugar pills that one of the students was taking for insomnia and downed the whole thing (hey, diluted to 12x, not a molecule of active ingredient in it, right?)...2 days later, after a good long 48 hour near comatose snooze, I woke up a believer. Don't care anymore why it works, just care that it does.
ReplyDeleteI've got some swampland in Florida you might be interested in.... homeopathy -- it's all in the head, my dear. But if it works, then who cares? I always make a wish when I see an oncoming car or truck with one headlight -- superstitions have always worked for me. Prove me wrong. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's time for an experiment...I'd hit it again and go without the homeopathics...see how long it takes. It may take a few trials to get it right though...just push on through!
ReplyDelete@warren: *lol*!... and I think I'll let someone else take on that experiment.
