In a lecture on Colocynthis Dr. J.T. Kent speaks, by way of comparison, of Magnesia phos. as an excellent remedy in colic. I do not remember his exact words, but do remember that while both of these remedies have the crampy, doubling-up pains for which Colocynth has so long and often been found promptly remedial, Magnesia phos. has also in almost as marked a degree as Arsenicum, relief from heat. Not only is this so in cramping, but also in some other neuralgic pains and affections for which Magnesia phos. has been found efficacious. So if Colocynth fails me in neuralgias, where the pains are crampy, I look sharp for the amelioration from heat, and if it appears, Magnesia phos. generally cures

Mag-phos

Trembling; shaking of hands, involuntary. Paralysis agitans. Cramps in calves, feet very tender. Twitching, Chorea, cramps. Numbness of finger tips. Worse right side, cold, touch, night. Better warmth, bending double, pressure and friction

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I must confess I have a real hard time grasping medical speak. Am I reading this to say that magnesium phosphates (?) help with cramping? I'm going to look up amelioration in the dictionary right now, maybe I can learn something here! Please forgive my ignorance!

Homeopathy is a non-toxic system of medicine used to treat illness and relieve discomfort of a wide variety of health conditions. It is practiced by licensed physicians and other qualified prescribers in many regions of the world, including Europe, Asia, the U.K., and the U.S. Information on the use of several hundred remedies has been collected for nearly two centuries by homeopathic practitioners, through research studies known as “provings,” as well as documented clinical cases and recent scientific trials.

The Law of Similars and Potentization
Two important ideas on which the science of homeopathy is based are the Law of Similars and potentization. Simply expressed, the Law of Similars states that since exposure to a substance can cause specific symptoms in a healthy person, that substance—when correctly prepared as a homeopathic remedy—can stimulate the body’s curative powers to overcome similar symptoms during illness.

For example: A person
who chops an onion can develop watery eyes, a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, and throat irritation from exposure to the onion’s active substances. The homeopathic remedy, Allium cepa, made of potentized red onion, can help the body overcome a cold or allergy attack in which the person has similar symptoms (watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, or throat irritation.) The actual symptoms of the illness were not caused by exposure to an onion, but the remedy made from the onion can help the body overcome them, because the symptoms are similar.

Potentization is a process that involves a series of precise dilutions
