I experienced a healing miracle this past week due to prayer, homeopathy, and inspiration from the Holy Ghost. I am so grateful! As I was walking from the temple to my car, I looked down and saw a bumblebee by my foot. I just kept walking hoping it would fly away. It had other plans, as within a second of noticing it, it stung me. Ouch! My foot immediately puffed up and throbbed with pain. Fortunately, I live just five minutes away from the temple. All I could think of in those five minutes was, get me to my Ledum. That’s the generally recommended homeopathy medicine for puncture wounds, which includes bee stings.

As soon as I got home, I took the Ledum. I took four doses, as I learned to do in Paola Brown’s Homeopathy for Moms Book Club. No relief of the pain. The pain was still 8 out of 10. I went to bed with it hurting. In the morning I switched to the homeopathic Apis mellifica, which is recommended for swelling. Still no result. At this point my foot had swollen even more to a puffy pink with an edge. See below. My skin is as pink as my nail polish! I’m sure you can tell which foot got stung. It also itched. Still 8 out of 10 on the pain scale. (Excuse the worn-off nail polish job, it’s been a few months and it’s time for a new one, LOL!.)

I was determined to find the right medicine to relieve the pain and swelling with the resultant tight skin and itching. “I don’t have time to deal with pain in my foot!” I thought. I needed this to get healed, what with all my activities, plans and goals. I did not want to be hampered by this pain. I prayed fervently that God would heal my foot by leading me to what homeopathic medicine would work. The two traditional medicines weren’t working. It was easy to give into despair of finding something that would work. So, when we had family prayer I asked my family to pray for me that I would find the right medicine. I pushed forward in faith that I would find the right medicine. I then did an Internet search and settled on Carbolic Acid. I made a water dose of the medicine and started sipping it off and on before bed, and then sipped on it during the night, keeping the Mason jar full of it right at my bedside.

In the morning, I woke up and cautiously rotated my foot around my ankle to test if the pain was still there. It no longer felt so tight. The pain was down to a 3. That was Friday morning. I’ve continued to sip on my water dose of homeopathic Carbolic Acid. Now it is Sunday night, the swelling is down, and the pain is down to a 0! I am overjoyed! Balance restored! I know the Holy Ghost inspired me to keep looking for the right medicine and not give up. I know the Holy Ghost led me to homeopathic Carbolic acid. I am so grateful for homeopathy and for God inspiring Samuel Hahnemann to discover this beautiful, elegant, powerfully healing medicine that has no side effects. It has definitely empowered me to be much more self-reliant in health care for me and my family. It truly is like magic! I am so grateful to live in a world graced by the magic of homeopathy. It is truly a gift from God! I have a friend who has quoted President Ezra Taft Benson as saying that “Homeopathy is God’s medicine.” I can’t find anywhere in print to back this up, but I agree! It is a Christ-like medicine. It never forces. It leads and guides the body to heal. It operates on the principle “like cures like.” That’s the same way Christ heals, right? He heals us because he knows our pain, because he suffered all our pains.

Did you know there’s a statue of Hahnemann in Washington D.C.? Here it is pictured below.
