Hi Wendy,
I've love to hear more about your experiences with Ignis alcoholis. Can you
give us some "anecdotes", and tell what potencies you have used, etc.? Does
it seem to have any preference for any particular type or severity of burn?
Also, where is it available?
Thanks!
Shannon

Re: Ignis alcoholis
Hi Shannon
you
Does
burn?
I generally use a 30C repeated as necessary for most minor to moderately
severe burns. I'd use 200C for more severe, deep and extensive burns, but
thankfully I've never needed to yet.
Some case examples:
Case 1. 8 year-old boy fell into a garden fire and put out his hand to break
his fall. Whole hand burned. Treated allopathically. Mother spoke to me
about a week later concerned that the hand looked pretty nasty when the
dressing was being changed - blistered areas suppurating, skin greyish and
sloughing, no healing evident. Gave 30C that night. Following day when
dressing was changed, hand was transformed - suppuration almost ceased and
skin pink and regenerating. As a result, mother doubted her own observations
of the previous day and concluded that her judgement must have been affected
by her concern. All evidence of burns now gone.
Case 2. Me! Reaching across open door of wood-burning stove to get more
logs, brought underside of right forearm down on top of door. Burn was deep
enough to fuse several layers of skin together. Treated immediately with hot
water and with Ignis alc 30C. Never blistered. No repeat dose required.
Healed completely with all signs of scarring and redness gone within 4
months. Only evidence left after 10 months is a tiny (2mm) area of whitish
skin where the deepest part of the burn was. In contrast, friend who has
identical burn from identical cause, but which was less deep than mine,
still has prominent red weal on arm after 8 months.
The potential of the remedy became apparent during Nuala's proving. Several
provers noticed that burns disappeared very quickly, but there was also the
case of a very young child who was severely scalded. This is from 4 year-old
memory, but if I remember rightly a pot of boiling water or tea or something
similar fell all over them. The child was rushed to hospital. The burns were
so extensive that the prognosis was pretty poor. A relative knew of the
proving and contacted Nuala. The remedy was driven right the way across
Ireland and given to the child in hospital in the only potency (30C) they
had at the time. I can't remember details of any repeat dosages, etc, but
the child recovered fully and without scarring.
Helios in the UK stock the remedy. Nuala has published the proving (in the
same volume as Amber). I would guess you should be able to get it through
Minimum Price though I haven't checked their catalogue. It's in the latest
version of ReferenceWorks.

Wendy
