Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 176, with Joette Calabrese.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: Diarrhea: Specific Symptoms Indicate Specific Homeopathic Medicines

Kate: (01:00)

Hi everyone, and welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate.

Today, Joette will be tackling a topic that’s equal parts common and uncomfortable. Yes, it’s diarrhea. But don’t worry, we’re keeping things light and practical.

Joette, are you ready to help our listeners feel empowered instead of panicked the next time the tummy rumbles?

Joette:

Yes, Kate. Yeah, let’s turn those bathroom dashes into a thing of the past with a little — I don’t know — I guess I’d call it “homeopathic know-how.”

Homeopathy: the little nudge the body needs

Kate: (01:33)

Agreed. Okay, so how about we start with the fundamentals? For anybody who might be new to this podcast, can you explain a few of the basics about homeopathy and why it’s such a game changer for issues like diarrhea?

Joette:

Yeah, absolutely. Let’s get started.

So, homeopathy is based on the principle “like cures like.” We use highly diluted, potentized — which means it’s highly diluted — medicines from natural substances that in larger amounts might cause similar symptoms.

But in these tiny, micro or nanodoses, they very gently nudge or stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself.

And these medicines … they have been helping families for over 200 years. There are no side effects, just smart support that works with the body.

It’s actually our first stop for all sorts of woes, including belly troubles. Think of it as giving your system the precise little nudge or whisper it needs to remember its own ability. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Kate:

Yes. Oh, I love it.

Okay. It also empowers us, I would say, to handle things at home, and so helps alleviate that fear that we don’t have something to help.

Intense diarrhea? Veratrum album

Kate: (02:57)

So, we’re going to get practical right now. What are the top medicines for diarrhea, and how do we match them to the various kinds of diarrhea that one might experience?

Joette:

Okay, first, let’s talk about Veratrum album — two words: Veratrum and then the word album — for the more intense cases. Doesn’t have to be intense, but we know that if it is intense, we are going to be thinking about this.

So, there might be severe, voluminous diarrhea, even with vomiting or nausea, cold sweats, clammy skin and weakness. There’s kind of a real weakness. It’s an in-depth weakness. It’s the big debilitating picture.

And often I’ve paired it with Cuprum metallicum — two words, Cuprum metallicum — in a Banerji-style approach for cramps.

So, Veratrum albu
