Self Help
It’s useful to know how to treat simple acute illnesses at home. In cases like insect bites, indigestion, or a sore throat — when we wouldn’t rush to the doctor anyway. You can buy a basic homeopathic remedy kit, but having a simple symptom guide is essential. I have gathered the most fundamental steps here.
We focus on changes compared to the healthy state and we are looking for unusual, striking symptoms. For example, if someone is constantly thirsty, we only consider it a symptom if they are not usually a thirsty person when healthy. Observe external signs and symptoms (paleness or flushing, trembling, sweating, etc.), check for any discharge (pus, foul-smelling, white, etc.), and note what improves or worsens the condition (fresh air, sound, light, hugs).
