I love those self help books which tell you how to easily remove stains and odours, be more efficient and various other useful tips, just by using some common sense and normal household cleaning products, such as vinegar and bicarbonate of soda.
Do you know that practically all cleaning can be done efficiently and quickly using these two amazing, totally safe and non-toxic ordinary household items?
I'm not going into this here, because this article is all about using some really common homeopathic remedies at home. But I encourage you to check them out. Just imagine, no more toxic fumes or dangers for small children or pets. Or you, for that matter.
Back to home remedies.
Just imagine your small daughter falls and cuts herself badly. She's screaming, you're panicking and you've got a flat tyre on your car. Your neighbours are away on holiday on one side, and at work on the other. The bus drivers are on strike. Your family live miles away. And you're a single parent.
Well, you could panic some more.
Or you could ring for a taxi, which will probably take a while to come.
You might try ringing your friend, but she could be out of town. Or, at the very least, a few minutes drive away.
You drive to the local hospital.
And then you wait...
Don't you just love the wait?
You could be dying, for all most hospitals seem to care. They seem to be more interested in your private insurance cover, or your next of kin - great feeling of confidence.
Now supposing you had a small kit of common homeopathic home remedies, with an instruction sheet.
You could quickly get that out, run through the ailments section and pick the appropriate remedy for the wound.
That might take a couple of minutes.
Almost like magic, your daughter stops screaming. With peace descending, you wash and dress the wound. By the time your friend or the taxi arrives, the worst is over. Your daughter wants to get back to playing.
You're left wondering why you were in such a panic. But you know it was real. There's a wound to prove it.
Homeopathic home remedies work so fast, as soon as they hit your tongue they're working, provided you have selected the correct one.
Learning something new, like using the most appropriate home remedies in emergencies, is something so valuable for us all, if should be taken very seriously.
So, where do you look for help?
My suggestion is to find a good, regular (at least weekly) natural health or homeopathic ezine (internet magazine) to subscribe to. This way, learning becomes almost effortless. Learning which common home remedies do what, could stand you in good stead later in life.
If you liked this article, then I invite you to sign up for my free, weekly ezine on how to improve your health and that of your family, including pets, naturally. Included is a complementary ebook on how to naturally treat some common ailments at home, visit http://www.twolegsandfour.com.au

Care Needed in Handling Homoepathic Remedies
Homoepathic medicines require special handling and storage so that they may not lose their power and become inert as a result of contamination. They should always be kept in the container in which they are supplied and never transferred to any other box, or bottle which has contained other substances.
They should be kept away from strong light, from great heat and especially form exposure to strong odours or perfumes, e.g. camphor, menthol, moth balls (you youngsters will not know what these are unless you have ancient grandparents!!), carbolic soap.
It is important never to uncover more than one remedy at a time. Neglect of this precaution would entail the risk of cross-potentization and spoiling of the remedies. Also the container should be opened for the minimum time required and care taken not to allow contamination of the cap before replacement. NEVER LICK THE INSIDE OF THE CAP TO RELEASE ANY REMEDY!!!!
Medicines are usually supplied in the form of pills, tablets or powders. The dose should be tipped on to the clean palm and transferred to the mouth, or, if in powder form, tipped directly on to the tongue. If more pills or tablets than prescribed dose are shaken out of the bottle never be afraid to take them all as this is one dose, BUT they must on NO ACCOUNT be returned to the container, but should be thrown away. To put them back would risk contaiminating the remainder.
No water need be taken to "wash the medicine down". Absorption takes place from the mouth. The dose should be put into a "clean mouth". It should not be taken until the mouth is free from the effects of food, drink, tobacco smoke (giving up smoking altogether would enhance your chances of cure enormously), toothpaste (changing from the peppermint type to, say, fennel would help greatly), mouth washes and confectionery (sweets to us mere mortals?? especially mints of any form). An interval of half an hour should be enough to have a "clean mouth".
Whilst taking homeopathic remedies the use of all other crude medicines should be avoided, including laxatives, nasal drops and liniments. These may interfere with the action of the homeopathic remedy and destroy its effectiveness.
To ensure freedowm from the risk of contamination at source the remedies should always be obtained from a reliable homeopathic chemist or from pharmacists who are prepared to take the precautions necessary to prevent the potencies from coming into contact with crude drugs.
