Homeopathic Medicine
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine based on the principle that like cures like. It was started by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. According to WebMD, “Homeopathy is a medical system based on the belief that the body can cure itself. Those who practice it use tiny amounts of natural substances, like plants and minerals. They believe these stimulate the healing process. It was developed in the late 1700s in Germany.”
The homeopathic solutions listed on this site are mostly manufactured by well-known manufacturers and sold at places like Amazon’s Whole Foods and other health food stores. Based on our experience, the homeopathic medicine either works 100% of the time or it doesn’t work at all. That’s totally different than how the standard medicine works, which may have to be taken for a day, week, months, or indefinitely.
Homeopathic Medicines That Work Miraculously Well
Here are some homeopathic medicines that we’ve found to work miraculously well for us and our friends. We purchase most, if not all, of these from Amazon. However, Whole Foods and other smaller stores also carry them. If you can’t find them locally, you will find them at online stores on the Internet because they are all popular, major brands.
Florasone
Florasone is a safe, topical cream that’s a natural alternative to cortisone (a synthetic version of cortisol, a steroid produced by the body’s adrenal glands). Florasone works amazingly well on all types of skin conditions, such as:
- Rashes
- Itching
- Eczema
- Inflammation
- Dry skin
- Allergies
- Dermatographism
A friend of ours was stung by bees all over her face and was vomiting. She was planning to go to the emergency room at her local hospital. We suggested she try Florasone. Luckily she keeps this cream at home and was amazed that it gave her relief from bee stings. She felt she didn’t need to go to the E.R. after using Florasone.
Florasone is a must have cream for those suffering from dermatographism, a benign skin itching condition where the scratch reddens into raised welts similar to hives. It’s also referred to as skin writing or dermatographic urticaria. When we experienced dermatographism, our allergist told us that we would have to use Zyrtec (Cetirizine), an over-the-counter antihistamine, every day as long as necessary to treat dermatographism symptoms. He said some patients recover from it after 2 years, but one of his patients has been taking Zyrtec every day for 25 years. Because we already know that antihistamines and antibiotics are on the list of food items that are not recommended (see this Food Chart and learn about Balancing Your pH), we avoid them as much as possible and use them only as a last resort. Fortunately, we found a natural cure for itching and associated rash in Florasone and didn’t have to go on a perpetual daily dose of antihistamine.
We’ve used Florasone for about seven years. It can make even the most severe case of itching go away in seconds. The inflammation also disappears after a short while. It’s simply a miraculous medicine. Although this homeopathic medicine is safe and you can apply it whenever there is a need, we never have to apply this cream more than once to get a relief from the non-stop itching, rash, and discomfort. The relief is practically instantaneous. This is a must have medicine in every single household. It’s manufactured by an American company called Boericke & Tafel, one of the oldest and most respected homeopathic companies in the world.
ClearLife Allergy Relief Spray
ClearLife Allergy Relief is a homeopathic nasal spray that works extremely well. We’ve used this for many years. It has no harsh chemicals like the traditional nasal sprays, which can make your symptoms worse. It works really well for nasal congestion due to allergies and is safe to use without any side affects. Unlike traditional nasal sprays, it’s non-addicting and can be used as needed. The directions on the package say up to 24 sprays can be used in each nostril in a 24-hour period. This nasal spray is very effective and we rarely have to use it more than one dose (2 prays per nostril) in a 24-hour period.
- Relieves runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion
- Non-drowsy
- Does not cause over-dryness of nose and mouth
- Helpful in providing fast, multi-symptom relief from indoor and outdoor allergies

Cough Ease
Cough Ease is another one of those amazing medicines that work in seconds and give relief from even the most severe coughs. Although you can use 2 spoons of this cough syrup every 2 hours, only once we had to take a second dosage. It’s non-drowsy homeopathic formula is based on honey, there is no risk of drug interaction, and it tastes great.
Cough Ease can be used by children as young as 2 years old, but they also offer Cough Ease for Kids.
Cough Ease for Kids
Cough Ease for Kids seems to be the exact same formula as the Cough Ease (which can also be used for kids as young as 2 years), so we are not sure why they have a separate package for kids. Perhaps it’s just for marketing purposes.
Hemorrhoid
This Hemorrhoid cream from Nelsons is a safe and soothing homeopathic medicine that gives instant relief and works incredibly well.
Dry Eye Relief
The Dry Eye Relief from a Swiss company called Similasan is a homeopathic medicine that works great for treating dry and red eyes. It soothes and moisturizes eyes without the use of chemicals found in the traditional eye drops like Visine.It uses natural botanical extracts to stimulate the body’s natural defenses and target the root cause. It can be purchased at Amazon, Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, Safeway, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and local health food stores.
