Dear mary

There are many examples I can give you where the kit was of great use, here are a few:

1.In Laos at the waterfalls outside Luang Prabang, an Israeli got stung by a swerm of bees all over his head and upper body. I gave him Apis .

2.In India an indian lady stood on a rusty nail and i gave her Ledum.

3.A French woman in Laos had a headache, was restless and had pain in her joints so i gave her Rhus Tox.

4. An Israeli friend of mine had Diarreha in India and vomiting and thought he was going to die. I gave him Aconite.

5. In Thailand an Irish woman got severly sunburnt on a trek in the north so i gave her Belladona.

6. I felt nauseous and faint on a bus ride in Laos from Van Vieng to Van Tien so I took Nat. Mur.

7.A Canadian girl had an infected cut and scratches on her shin . I gave her Calendula orally and in a cream.

8. An English lady was covered with mousqeato bites in Laos. I gave her Aconite.

9. My neighbour in India had a bad cough and cold from smoking too much. I gave him Nux Vomica.

10. An English girl in India knocked her toe and it got swollen. I agve her arnica.

There are countless more examples where this kit has been of use. I hope you can use this information.

Ms. Mary Aspinwall, 

Thank you very much for your quick response. And I appreciate your offer of a free book on homeopathy.  It means a great deal to me! As for the Basic Kit, I have decided to keep it because there are  some products I also need which are not included in the travel kit. Thank you very much.

What HomeopathyWorld.com customers are saying about our site...

 When I first started on the internet, I quickly began searching for homeopathy related sites. But I just couldn't find any that was useful, not to mention online shops! Now I'm glad that it is becoming more popular here as well as in all other countries.

Please keep up with your good work!

Dear Seana,

Thank you for your letter and explanation. I signed on the computer just now to write to you and tell you that since I wrote to you I have done just what you suggested I should do, and also noticed that the dose you suggest is one pill and not the three or four that I have been accustomed to. Also, I am used to giving a dose every 30 minutes or so in acute cases, and realize that I may be incorrectly doing so. I will take your course online when I can find the time to do so, and I appreciate your assistance and existence.

Thanks again,

Kate

Dear Mary

I wish to write you a brief note to say thank you for your wonderful web site. I am a newly qualified homeopath and am trying to establish myself. I decided to run an Introduction course in Homeopathy and found your website which gave me the inspiration and push to go ahead. I am currently preparing my 4th week of a 5 week course and it is going very well and have organised another course for after Christmas.

Thank you again so much for your generous share of knowlege and experience.

Dear Mrs. Aspinwall
First I would like to thank you for your informative website.
Being a student of Homeopathy I found your write up of cases to be very insight full.
I would like to ask your permission to translate your basic homeopathic
training material " An introduction to homeopathy",
to Hebrew and use, to make an introduction to homeopathy in various
parts of Israel and in Oklahoma where I spend a few months a year.

Thank you again.

What HomeopathyWorld.com customers are saying about our
courses...

“When I recently attended Mary Aspinwall’s in depth introductory course, Exploring Homeopathy I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was a lively group and the class was held at the Natural Healing Rooms in Clonakilty.

Mary began with a short history, which rather than being dry as is sometimes the case, gave us the background to Hahnemann’s discoveries and the foundation on which the principles of homeopathy are based. Mary is an excellent teacher, giving enough information to stimulate and not so much as to overwhelm.

Her explanations made this complicated subject totally accessible and I particularly liked the way that she continually invited questions and engaged the class with little quizzes; a fun way to check that we had all understood and assimilated each section of the course.

The course covered the two golden rules of Homeopathy, how to treat first aid situations and acute illnesses all of which were covered by well prepared handouts and, with a basic homeopathy kit included, it was jolly good value for money.

I would recommend any courses put on by Mary who is an expert in her field, able to clearly convey her subject to both the beginner and the advanced student.”

Hello Mary,
Oh my gosh, your free intro course is excellent! I'm so delighted to have been able to receive this. Do you teach more online? Do you have lectures on cd or a book?
I would love to study more from you.

I first met Mary Aspinwall about 13 years ago, when suffering with a chronic sinus problem which had plagued me for years. After a consultation with Mary in her Healing Rooms, she gave me a remedy. A week later my sinus problem had cleared up and has not bothered me since.
I then attended one of her Basic Homeopathy courses and found it very beneficial for everyday common illnesses and bumps and bruises. I have four children who have never taken an antibiotic. The basic course in Homeopathy gave me the knowledge to treat the common complaints of colds, earaches etc., that all children get from time to time.

What patients and practitioners are saying about
Mary Aspinwall, Registered Homeopath...

Having suffered from depression for most of my life, I had read all I could and been to various therapists to try and remedy "the way I was". It would have been easier to have a broken arm since from the outside everything looked normal. In fact I can be regarded as a having a life that a lot of people only dream of...a great husband, two gorgeous children, everything I could possibly want but still I couldn't shake the emotional cloud that engulfed me for sometimes weeks on end. Only someone who has truly suffered from depression understands how isolating it is. No amount of rationalising helps and so the guilt sets in, creating a cycle.

I never took anti-depressants even though they were prescribed for me twice by doctors. I was quite concerned about having to wean myself off them one day and then what would happen? Would I be worse? That would be intolerable.I was plunged into almost a permanent depression after having my second child. I felt as though I was underwater or in a bubble, my body was incredibly heavy, my energy was the lowest ever and my short term memory was non-existent. I could hardly get through the day.

I stopped alchohol completely, restricted sugar, took more excercise and led a really clean life. I had heard about Mary Aspinwall and decided to have a consultation. Of course, I expected to at least feel a bit better and what happened next was most unexpected...it seemed like a slippery slope down even further, Mary advised me to hold on for as long as I could, although she would give me an antidote if I preferred. I decided to hold on and within the next two weeks the cloud lifted, my energy started returning and my energy started returning.To this day, now more than five years later, I have been entirely well. It is amazing how one little tablet changed everything. I feel such gratitude to Homeopathy

Jan Bendon, Cork, Ireland

" I always found Mary to be very professional, thorough and caring in her practice in Ireland. I had been suffering from an ailment for many years and with the help of Mary treating me with a single dose of a homeopathic preparation, have not had a relapse in 3 years. She also treated my children very effectively. “

Jan Bendon, Cork, Ireland

§§§

“Originally I was a little daunted by the idea of a telephone consultation, however the comprehensive questionnaire and Mary’s professional yet warm and friendly approach made it really easy and effective. The recommended treatment has had a fantastic effect on my energy levels and general well being as well as curing me of an increasingly irritating annual hayfever allergy, an added benefit that I wasn’t expecting.

Mary also recommended a treatment for ‘housewives knee’ which was almost instantly effective and saved me the trouble of the physiotherapy course that my GP had recommended.”

One of my boys had warts on his left hand for about two years and after a consultation with Mary, was given a remedy and was told it would take eight weeks for the warts to clear. Sure enough, on the eighth week the warts disappeared!
I would highly recommend Mary and find her very open and warm when I visit The Natural Healing Rooms in Clonakilty.

§§§

“I consulted Mary a couple of years ago as a last resort, having been suffering from crippling anxiety, self-doubt and various physical ailments. I say 'as a last resort' because I didn't believe that homeopathy worked. My friend dragged me in to see her, and I was too depressed to argue.

To my surprise, Mary had a no-nonsense attitude. She was very supportive and encouraging, took plenty of time to listen to me and offer real and constructive advice, and what's more, the remedy she gave me worked like a dream. In fact, I have been feeling so well since then that I haven't needed to make another appointment."

"I never imagined it possible, a tiny tablet helped me to speak up - Mary combines her intuition, skill and experience to come up with the right remedy. Her newsletter is always most welcome in my mailbox!"

Susan Haynes, Cork, Ireland

§§§

"Mary Aspinwall was responsible for advising me on an alternative health protocol from December 2007, following my bilateral mastectomy, until May 2008. The main aim of the protocol was to balance my overall endocrine system, paying particular attention to my hormonal and thyroid problems. After a thorough investigation into my medical, emotional and lifestyle history, Mary identified a homeopathic substance which would help eliminate the symptoms I had been experiencing as the result of the imbalance in my body. Throughout the treatment, I found Mary to be very patient, supportive and extremely knowledgeable in her field of homeopathy.

One of the most important aspects of the treatment was that she made me feel confident and in control of my situation and proved to me that any disease in any one organ was as a direct result of overall dis-ease in the whole body and mind and that it is important to rebalance the energy flow and using a homeopathic approach will help towards this objective."

§§§

We have been attending Mary's clinic as a family for many years. Our problems have ranged from minor to major health issues and we have worked very well together to find remedies. Mary's person centered approach and years of experience always make us feel secure and our issues have always been worked through in a very safe and secure environment.

Initally I sought Mary's help for a number of physical complaints that had been bothering me for some time, especially so after I had undergone a hysterectomy and double oophectomy, prior to hearing about Mary. It was most remarkable, to me, to see how quickly those complaints cleared up with the right homeopathic treatment. In my case, Mary used different single remedies as the 'picture' I presented changed over time, as treatment progressed.

Not only did I benefit physically, but even more amazing, to me, were the emotional benefits. I would say I definitely have a more positive outlook on life and am more able to express my needs without bottling them up for ages until things reach a crisis point. Today I am embarking on goals that were to me only a dream. I feel happier, more confident and able to cope with life's ups and downs.

§§§

As a medical doctor, I was always taught (and believed) that homoeopathy was ineffective and unscientific. However, personal experience changes all. Some years ago I developed abdominal pain which was severe and debilitating. I knew that this was likely to be due to gall stones but I did not want to have surgery or other invasive treatments. I went to see Mary in some pain after a week of little sleep. She asked me lots of questions which had little to do, I thought, with my presenting symptoms and gave me the little white homoeopathic pills at the end of the consultation. I went home more in hope than expectation yet within half an hour the pain was easing and after an hour it had gone, never to return. In addition, my general health improved with more energy and a more relaxed state of mind. Do I have gall stones? Probably, do I need to have surgery? Definitely, not as I am well, with no symptoms and an improved level of health.

Thank you to Mary and homoeopathy!

“Nearly 10 years ago I experienced some form of "nervous incident" whilst working in a rather stressful job. The immediate result was that I found myself getting tense in situations where before I'd have been perfectly calm such as when driving or meeting new people. I saw a doctor about it and he described the condition as being a form of "anxiety attack". The pills he gave me were used on people with high blood pressure which slowed the heart rate. I used them from time to time but wasn't happy to take such medicine. More often than not I learned how to live with the condition.

A few months ago I had a particularly bad time with the symptoms seeming stronger than usual and lasting for an extended period. It was then that I decided to look for some form of alternative medicine that might help and that's when I met Mary.

Our first meeting coincided with a lot of pain I'd been getting in both feet (possibly gout). We discussed the history of what I'd been going through as well as other ailments I suffered such as the foot pain. Mary also looked for something quite unique within these ailments and found it when I told that when the nervous condition is at its worst I fear that I'll swallow my tongue (though I know I won't). This provided her with enough information to go away and feed this information into her computer software.

A week later we met for a 2nd half hour consultation and she's found what she considered to be an ideal solution considering the symptoms I'd described. She told me to take just one pill to be dissolved under the tongue at bedtime. The mental effect was noticeable within days and for the next fortnight I felt better than I'd done in a long time with no nervous symptoms and much improved concentration and understanding.

Mary had said that I'd know when it was time to take another pill and sure enough after 16 days I wasn't feeling quite as good so I took another and its impact seemed to last a similar amount of time. On a 3rd meeting with Mary I told her that I was very pleased with the mental results but that the initial foot pain had, if anything, got worse so she upped the dosage to 200c from 30c (I know that seems weaker in the non-homeopathic world) and I soon noticed a big improvement in the foot pain and within a week it had stopped entirely. It's now 5 months since the first meeting with Mary and apart from the occasional twinge I've had no problems with the pain.

I continue to take one homeopathic pill about every 3 weeks and haven't had to touch any anti-inflammatories or blood pressure pills for the initial symptoms at all. Hopefully this will allow me to enjoy the increased quality of life that has come from my discovery of homeopathy.”

Myself and my children have been seen by Mary over the past couple of years and I have been delighted by the results that have been achieved. As a professional homeopath I would experience her as second to none and would always value her opinion.

“After 3 trips to the doctor and 3 lots of antibiotics in the space of 5 months with my 1 yr old daughter, I knew I had to try something different. Homeopathy came to mind, even though I had little knowledge about it. Luckily enough I came across the number for the Natural Healing Rooms in Clonakilty, West Cork and made an appointment with Mary Aspinwall.

The best appointment I ever made, since then my daughter has not had one chest infection, has not needed even a spoon of Calpol* and is in great health and good form. As I'm pregnant with my 2nd child I decided to make an appointment for myself and with only 2 weeks to go I feel full of energy and well equipped with my homeopathic Childbirth Kit.”

Catherine O’Farrell

*Calpol is the trade name for a paracetamol based syrup used to reduce fevers

§§§

I went to Mary when I was pregnant. At the time I was not only exhausted and hormonal, but feeling very despondent and lonely.
My father had recently died and my family were grieving too much to help out. Mary chose my constitutional remedy and I have to say that within a week I felt vibrant and self contained. Any time I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, I go to Mary for a dose of my constitutional remedy and am usually singing by the time I pass the round-about on the way out of town.

I have been visiting Mary Aspinwall for a while and I have found her to be very thorough, knowledgeable and competent in her area of expertise. The time and care she has taken in choosing the remedies for my ailment has been reflected in my resulting recovery. She is very welcoming, makes you feel at ease at the very first meeting and shows care and support at all times. I would highly recommend Mary as a therapist.

" A couple of months ago, (March 2008) I was feeling tried and drained, and a little stressed after undergoing fertility treatment. I lacked energy totally and had a rash on my arms that whatever I tried, wouldn't go away! I also suffer from mild ashtma and had become a little too dependent on my ventolin inhaler, I was in need of some help! I attend acupuncture regularly and have experienced the positive benefits of this alternative therapy, so I was interested to know more about homeopathy.

Mary Aspinwall ' s name had been highly recommended to me, so I made an appointment. What a great decision!! In my first consultation Mary went through my full medical history from head to toe with me. I found Mary to be so thorough, knowledgeable and professional, and I felt really at ease with her immediately. It was great to have the opportunity to talk about my wellbeing to someone who I felt really understood my issues.

A few days after the consultation, Mary had a remedy ready for me to take. I could not believe how great I felt after taking the remedy, it was amazing how well suited this remedy was for me and how well it worked for me. The first thing I noticed was that my energy levels really increased and I felt more relaxed in myself. The skin rash on my arms also began to disappear, and now 2/3 months later it is gone completely. Also, I started to use my inhaler less and less and now I do not use it at all. I put this all down to my visits with Mary Aspinwall. I am delighted with the results, I cannot recommend Mary highly enough."


Anne, Clonakilty, Co Cork, Ireland

§§§


I worked for Mary for a period of approximately three years, starting out as her personal assistant. During that time Mary's practice went from being a small but well-regarded establishment of three rooms, to occupying a town house that Mary had converted specifically for use as a multi-disciplinary alternative medicine centre. That alone is a testimony to the standing in which Mary is held, as that kind of growth would not have been possible without a list of cured cases to her credit.

In this type of therapy there is a great emphasis on confidentiality, so clients, both current and new, may rest assured that their treatment and their history always remains between them and Mary and that it is received in a non-judgemental way. The affection with which Mary is regarded by her many clients is very apparent and all the more to her credit, as so many start out being sceptical and wary of the process.

Mary is herself highly professional and works only with other therapists of the same standard with outstanding credentials, experience and commitment to their patients' well-being. During my time at the Natural Healing Rooms, I saw many patients discharged from treatment, usually having been cured of conditions for which conventional medicine had offered little or no hope. This was one of the most rewarding aspects of my job.

To anyone thinking of undertaking homeopathic treatment, even if not for the first time, I wholeheartedly recommend Mary. I have seen her succeed even where other homeopaths have achieved only limited success.

Wishing you good health,

“Mary Aspinwall has brightened the pages of Homeopathy Today with her unique blend of humor, passion, and common sense. The readers love her. Mary is also a joy to work with. She's clever and quick--and she always comes through when you need her!”

Mitzi Lebensorger, Editor Homeopathy Today, leading US homeopathy publication.

§§§

"While managing the Irish Society of Homeopaths in the 1990's and editing the Homeopathic Times (the Irish journal for homeopaths), I had the privilege of working with Mary Aspinwall, who was on the Board of the Society and a frequent contributor to our magazine. Mary has so many talents it is difficult to pin-point just one.

She was brilliant as our Media Officer, insightful and articulate in her case presentations and articles, and always there with a professional helping hand when homeopathy in Ireland had a challenge to address or a new level to reach. Whilst I worked with her, her practice took off to point that she decided to create her own healing centre.

Now well over a dozen holistic practitioners work from there, despite it being based in a small Irish town - now if that doesn't say something about the impact she had on people’s attitudes to healthcare, I don't know what else will. I would not hesitate to recommend her. "

Helios Double Helix remedy kits  have received many favorable reviews in the press, a few of which are reproduced for you here:

An alternative first-aid kit 

by Lesley Turney

(Review of the Basic 18 kit)

Most of us have a bathroom cabinet full of mainstream remedies such as aspirin, cough mixture and antiseptic ointment. But how do you treat minor emergencies if you prefer alternative therapies? Help is at hand in the form of a homoeopathic first-aid kit. Produced by Helios Homeopathics, the kit contains18 individual remedies for conditions as diverse as hemorrhoids and jet lag.

The kit which is small enough to fit in a handbag (or purse in American English), holds glass bottles containing the remedies in sucrose pill  form. They can be used on their own or in a variety of combinations where necessary.

It comes with a comprehensive prescribing guide and even if the symptoms experienced are not listed , by cross-referencing to the description of each remedy and what it does, specific treatments for any symptom can be found. ( "A slight exaggeration!" - Mary)

The kit was designed by practising homoeopaths, with the intention of making homeopathy accessible to everyone. John Morgan of Helios, who graduated as an orthodox pharmacist, before training as a homeopath, says: "People are often caught off-guard when it comes to treating minor injuries, which is why this range is specially formulated to cover a significant proportion of the most common injuries and ailments".

Homeopathy - literally 'similar suffering' - is a system of medicine based on the principle that a substance which can produce symptoms in a healthy person can help cure those symptoms in a sick person, by stimulating the body's natural healing responses.

For example, a person suffering from hay fever  might be given a remedy prepared form an onion, because in a healthy person, close contact with onions usually produces watering eyes and irritation.  

The substances are given in minute doses, which makes them safe to use even in circumstances where the use of conventional drugs would be inadvisable. It is not yet understood how homeopathy works, because the remedies are often so dilute that not even a molecule of the original substance remains. Skeptics conclude that any beneficial response is probably due to the placebo effect, but this is unlikely as homeopathic medicines are particularly effective in the treatment of young children and animals.  

"We think the processes used in making the medicines leave an imprint of the original substance's energy pattern in the dilutant, which somehow stimulates the body's own healing energy to start responding."

Rebecca Mayhew, an accountant from London, was converted to homeopathy ten years ago, after conventional medicines failed to stop persistent sneezing. She has been using a self-prescribing homeopathy kit for several weeks and says it has come in handy on many occasions.

"I've used remedies to help a friend who was in pain after an operation, for somebody who was very unhappy after a relationship broke up and for a baby with teething pains," says Rebecca, 36. "The kit helped my husband, Mark, when he had a violent stomach upset and I treated the whole family when we were on holiday and woke up with hangovers.

It's very exciting and very useful, although obviously you have to use it with a degree of care and responsibility."

There are two basic rules recommended by the kit manufacturers. First, the symptom picture of the illness or injury should be as closely matched as possible to the medicine. Second as little medicine as possible should be used to stimulate the body's own healing mechanism. Doses should be repeated only if symptoms stop improving or return after a certain time.

Dr David Murfim, former vice chairman of the Royal College of General Practitioners says:" People do become frustrated by conventional medicines and many GPs are opening their minds to alternatives. Homeopathy is no longer the taboo that it once was and is available on the National Health Service.

However the bottom line is that any lumps, bumps or symptoms which can't be easily explained should be seen by a professional in the first instance to be on the safe side."

Director of research at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital , Dr Peter Fisher  says of the kit:" It is safe and helpful for minor obvious problems".

She examined me and found I was about 3cm dilated.  At 1:40 she gave me a remedy to help calm me down.  Within half an hour, I felt more relaxed.  At 2:30 I got into the (birthing) pool... I had another calming remedy at 3am.

Half an hour later I was getting tired, so I took a tablet to give me an energy boost, but by 5am the labour had slowed down...

I was given another remedy to bring on the contractions.  They were soon strong and regular.  By 6am, my body seemed to be doing all the work itself, but the pain was still intense.  Valerie gave me gas and air...

And at 6:33am my son Jason was born, weighing 8lb 14oz.  Putting him to my breast I felt so proud.

I was back to normal 12 days after the birth.  If I have another child, I'll use homeopathy again.  It's a great alternative that puts the woman back in control.

"The childbirth kit Rachel used has 18 remedies to help before, during and after labour.  They can soothe prebirth anxiety, dilate the cervix, ease exhaustion and aid contractions.  After delivery, they can help speed up the healing process.  If you want to use one, tell your midwife and buy it early so you and your partner are familiar with it.  It comes with a guide, but it's advisable to check the uses with your midwife."
