Time to reshare this valuable homeopathic medicine testimonial from 8 years ago. This was back when I still had my physical store, which I started in 2012, before the COnVID agenda destroyed it. I helped thousands of people who walked in, frustrated with doctors and vets, had been through the ringer with them, and were fed up, now looking elsewhere for answers and solutions. I made remedies in the kitchen, running back and forth to the store when customers came in, while raising my child, all in that same house!
“A customer was just in here to pick up more homeopathic Arnica montana 30CH for her dogs. When I first met her in the store, she had her beautiful golden retriever with her. He had been put on heavy anti-inflammatory drugs by the vet and was still limping after a running accident. He was also hit in the face months ago by a bee when he had his head out of the car window, and his face had never come back to normal shape.
When I examined the dog, he was very low in vitality but looked at me, like all the innocent animals and babies do, with excitement in his eyes and so much love (because they know what I am about to do for them. :)) The leg felt to me to be the muscle belly and his face was for certain an inflamed nerve, it wasn't firing properly, keeping his face drooped on that side.
So, I suggested turmeric, salmon oil, and using homeopathic arnica internally (for the muscle), hypericum perf 30CH (for the facial nerve damage), and to go off the drug that is killing his liver, immediately. She did exactly that and called me a few days later to tell me he is happy as a clam and running in the field! And his face is coming back to normal shape!
Since then, her other little dog had a fall on his back end and was bed-bound; she gave him the arnica orally right away for a few days, and he is back to his normal self. So clearly, we have a convert (and 2 very happy dogs).
When the vet asked her, at the most recent appointment, if she needed a refill on the anti-inflammatory, she said, "Nope, he's right as rain! I took him off the drugs." When she asked her what she did instead, she said, "I used homeopathic hypericum and arnica!" The vet looked at her like she had two heads. Hahaha!
Placebo, my middle finger. Dogs and babies do not know they are getting the remedies. Homeopathy is a powerful, submolecular, TRUE medicine based on water memory and intelligence, that works.
Here's to shocking conventional doctors since 2008.”
Arnica Montana Homeopathic Remedy
Arnica Montana is the main homeopathic go-to for everyone’s natural first aid kit to alleviate pain and inflammation from minor and major injuries, conditions, and surgeries (including dental work).
USES:
Relieves muscle pain and stiffness due to minor injuries, overexertion, and falls
Reduces pain, swelling, and discoloration from bruises
Take before and after minor to moderate dental work (from cleanings to fillings to extractions) to minimize pain and inflammation
When given immediately can slow bruise progression
IMPORTANT- In a head injury, this is a first aid remedy that can halt internal bleeding! For subdural hematoma prevention. If only doctors knew this, as this condition is a killer.
To dispense: hold tube with the clear cap down and turn clear cap until pellets drop out of tube into clear cap. Do not touch the pellets (active ingredient is on pellet surfaces), but place directly in the mouth, under the tongue, or in water, as outlined for children (below).
General adult directions: Allow 3 to 5 granules to dissolve under the tongue, 2 to 3 times daily, or as recommended. Do not exceed 6 doses in 24 hours (If there is no improvement after 3 doses, it’s not the correct remedy for that person, at that time. Discontinue use.)
For acute conditions: 2 pellets every hour until condition improves, then reduce dosage to general directions, unless effectiveness wears off and original symptoms return (with homeopathic remedies less is more: taking too much can cause the original symptom to reoccur, known as ‘aggravation’). Do not exceed 6 doses in 24 hours.
For children under 6 years of age: dissolve granules in a small amount of water, and give by mouth. (dosage is the same for adults and children: go by severity of condition, not by size of the person)
Homeopathy is a system of medicine based on these principles: Like cures like For example, if your allergy or cold symptoms are similar to what happens when you cut an onion (burning, red, watery eyes and runny nose), then Allium cepa (which is the Latin name for onion, and is a remedy often used for allergies and colds) would be the correct homeopathic remedy for you at this time.
Minimal Dose The remedy is taken in an extremely diluted form; normally one part of the remedy to around 1,000,000,000,000 parts of water. While skeptics of homeopathy believe the remedies cannot possibly work because they are so diluted and no longer contain any physical trace of the original ingredient, proponents and practitioners understand that what remains is INFORMATION: this energetic trace without physicality is all that’s required to nudge the body’s own healing responses.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Pets
Recommended use: Safe for dogs and cats at all stages, including puppies, kittens, and pregnant or lactating animals. Use at a rate of 2.5 mL (half a teaspoon) per 20 pounds of your pet’s weight (pets under 20 pounds can take 1/4 to 1/2 tsp). Add daily to your pet’s food for optimal benefits. Fish oil is an excellent supplement that can boost your dog or cat’s overall health.
Benefits include:
Helps with Skin Allergies. Fish oil is amazing for all cats, and especially dog breeds such as Golden Retrievers or Jack Russells, as they are more prone to developing skin conditions or allergies. The oil helps to build a barrier of strong cells that prevents a reaction when the skin comes into contact with allergens such as dust, pollen, or grass.
Combats Inflammation. Omega-3s (docosahexaenoic acid or DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA) help reduce inflammation throughout your dog or cat’s body. This helps combat gastritis, itchy skin, and inflamed and painful joints.
Improves Cognitive Function. Fish oil is really good for your dog’s brain. This holds true for pets of all ages, but especially for kittens and puppies. This is because, just like for human babies and children, the DHA in the oil has a major role in brain development.
Maintains Soft and Shiny Coats. Fish oil essentially helps to balance skin moisture (from the inside) and leads to healthy skin. You can expect your cat or dog to have a healthier and shinier coat.
Prevents and Alleviates Cancer. It is said that salmon oil can help prevent canine cancer and help slow the growth of cancer once it has begun spreading. It also helps with conditions caused by cancer, such as loss of appetite and cachexia (weight loss/ wasting during cancer)
Improves Overall Health. In addition to the above benefits, the omega-3s, EPA, and DHA help maintain a healthy heart, kidney, and liver function. This will extend your cat’s or dog’s life and keep them happy and active overall.
Currently, we carry this oil for pets:

Turmeric: Benefits for Dogs (and Humans)
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizome with a long-standing history in Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Chinese systems. Its key terrain-aligned actions include:
1. Anti-inflammatory terrain modulation
Turmeric's primary active compound, curcumin, modulates inflammation by supporting liver phase II conjugation, aiding bile production, and dampening overactive cytokine signalling (without suppression). It assists in terrain recalibration after injury, degeneration, or toxicity-induced inflammation.
2. Liver support and blood purification
Curcumin upregulates glutathione synthesis, supports hepatic enzymatic detox pathways, and thins bile for better drainage. This is critical in terrain medicine, where stagnation and congestion of liver pathways underlie many chronic issues in animals.
3. Pain and joint stiffness
When combined with fat and black pepper, turmeric becomes more bioavailable and can help reduce joint stiffness, especially in older dogs with terrain-related degeneration (often mislabelled as "arthritis").
4. Digestive support
Turmeric stimulates gastric and pancreatic secretions, helps with sluggish digestion, intestinal dysbiosis, and supports microbial cleanup. It can gently expel parasitic burdens and relieve flatulence.
5. Antioxidant and DNA repair support
Curcumin scavenges terrain-damaging free radicals and supports enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase. It protects against EMF and synthetic toxin damage.
6. Antimicrobial terrain alignment
Rather than kill indiscriminately, turmeric modulates microbial activity by assisting the healing process, making it useful for skin conditions, hot spots, or terrain imbalances involving bacteria or fungi.
Terrain-Based Uses in Dogs
Joint pain, stiffness, or recovery post-injury
Itchy skin, lichenification, or chronic dermal inflammation
Digestive weakness or suspected overgrowth
General cleansing or support during healing phases
After pharmaceuticals (especially steroids or antibiotics) to reset liver and gut pathways
Mild discomfort or terrain stagnation linked to aging
How to Make Hand-Rolled Turmeric Pills for Dogs (Milk Method)
This ancient-style method enhances turmeric’s absorption by combining it with fat, warmth, and a delivery agent dogs love.
Ingredients
Turmeric powder (organic, food-grade)
Freshly ground black pepper (piperine boosts curcumin uptake by up to 2000%)
Cold-pressed coconut oil, ghee, or olive oil (helps emulsify and deliver through lymph)
Goat milk, raw milk, or homemade seed/nut milk
Optional: Raw honey, diatomaceous earth (if flea or parasite (heavy metal detox) support is needed), ginger, or Ceylon cinnamon
Base Formula (for small-to-medium dogs)
1 tbsp turmeric powder
1/8 tsp fresh black pepper
1 tsp coconut oil or ghee
Just enough milk to moisten and bind (1–2 tbsp)
Instructions
Warm the milk gently (do not boil). Add coconut oil to it and stir to melt.
Mix turmeric and black pepper in a bowl.
Slowly add the warm milk-oil mixture to the powder while stirring until a dough-like paste forms.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to hydrate and activate.
Roll the paste into small, bean-sized pills (or larger depending on your dog’s size).
Allow to air dry for a few hours or refrigerate immediately.
Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Dosing Guidelines
For general terrain support:
Small dogs (<20 lbs): 1–2 small pills daily
Medium dogs (20–50 lbs): 2–4 pills daily
Large dogs (50+ lbs): 4–6+ pills daily
For acute terrain conditions:
Increase frequency to twice per day, or pulse for 3–5 days with breaks.
Tips for Use
Wrap in liver paste, raw honey, or mix with food if needed.
Combine with castor oil topically for joint or skin issues.
Give them away from pharmaceutical drugs due to their liver-cleansing action.

Hypericum Perforatum Homeopathic Remedy
Hypericum Perforatum is especially useful for injuries to nerve-rich areas such as fingers, toes, and the spine (especially the tailbone). It relieves the intense pain – either sharp, or shooting upwards along the nerve – that follows crushes, blows, cuts, grazes, or puncture wounds to these areas. It also helps some types of phantom pain, shock, or ailments that follow shock. Shooting pains up nerve pathways following animal bites and stings. For puncture wounds, injuries to finger-tips, or stubbed toes.
Common indications for Hypericum:
any nerve injury
also used for painful bug bites, stings, and burns
excessive painfulness is a guiding symptom
shooting, stabbing or “lightening-like” pain (that has a distinct direction, as opposed to dispersed or diffuse pain or ache)
puncture wounds
helps pain after surgery (see also Arnica)
pain and issues around the tailbone and rectum; hemorrhoids
Neuritis, tingling, burning, and numbness
Hypericum may be indicated when symptoms improve with:
warmth
staying still
being covered up
Hypericum may be indicated when symptoms worsen from:
cold
dampness
touch
movement
exposing the painful area
To dispense: hold the tube with the clear cap down and turn the clear cap until pellets drop out of the tube into the clear cap. Do not touch the pellets (active ingredient is on pellet surfaces), but place directly in the mouth, under the tongue, or in water, as outlined for children (below).

Minimal Dose: The remedy is taken in an extremely diluted and potently succussed (charged) form. While skeptics of homeopathy believe the remedies cannot possibly work because they are so diluted and no longer contain any physical trace of the original ingredient, they clearly do not understand the dynamics of water or frequency medicine; while proponents and holistic practitioners understand that what remains is INFORMATION: this energetic trace capturing the memory of the substance plus the power of water is all that’s required to nudge the body’s own healing responses.

After one of the rescue cats died this past spring, another one, Bear, sat by his deceased companion's open casket for several days until we closed the casket. Open caskets help us all grieve and adjust to the loss. Once the casket was sealed, it seemed like Bear immediately went into a deep depression; he was sluggish and didn't want to go outside or do much of anything other than sleep in the same spot. He also lost his appetite and rarely ate, or would take a bite or two and lose interest.
I read in the mini Materia Medica that came with the Helios homeopathy kit for pets someone had gifted me, that Ignatia 30c is recommended for bereavement when the bereavement is due to the loss of a companion or offspring. So I wanted to try that on Bear.
I have found that the easiest way to dose a cat with a homeopathy remedy is to put the pill in their mouth (not down their throat, but just inside) and gently hold their mouth closed while petting them and saying sweet things to them. They usually forget there is a pill in their mouth pretty quickly and relax. So that's what I did with Bear.
Within 10 minutes of giving him the Ignatia, he jumped down from where he had been sleeping, went to the feeding table, ate some food, then asked to be let outside. It was truly amazing. He returned to his normal self, and the depression never returned. With just one dose!
So many successes when my children were young!
