These past few weeks have been a bit rough for me and several sensitive family members. I couldn’t put my finger on it, except that something was off.
Then during some Facebook Q&A time, I was asked about homeopathic remedies solar flares and it got me thinking and I started researching. I found out that during the time my family member and I felt off, we were in the middle of a solar flare. It was wreaking havoc on my gut; lots of stomach pain and fatigue for me, while my mom had breathing issues. We weren’t alone; several of my more sensitive clients and friends were having similar issues.
This quesion came to mind: How can sensitive people, those dealing with stress or current chronic health conditions help themselves during these solar flares? And what homeopathic remedies can help the body deal with the effects of solar flares?
What are solar flares?
Solar Flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms. These large explosions from the surface of the sun emit intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. The intensity of the explosion determines what classification the flare belongs to. The most powerful are X-class flares, followed by M-, C- and B-class; A-class flares are the smallest.
According to National weather service, we are in solar cycle 25 and in a solar maximum where solar flares are more common.
I’m not a scientist, so bear with my explanation. See the source section for more information.
How does solar flare affect humans?
Solar flares don’t directly affect humans as the harmful radiation from a flare does not physically affect us on the ground, as we’re shielded by Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field.
But even though we are shielded by the Earth, solar weather can affect our circadian rhythm, especially in 10-15% of the world’s population that are sensitive.
Severe disruption of the circadian rhythm increases inflammation which can induce fatigue, fever and flu-like symptoms in a fraction of the population and worsen existing symptoms in old and diseased individuals, leading to periodic spikes of infectious and chronic diseases.*
Some effects that may happen from disturbing the circadian rhythm are:
- Flaring current health issues
- Increased magnetic sensitivity (basically if you are already sensitive to EMFs, it can increase the intensity of those symptoms.)
- disrupting sleep patterns
- Mood swings
- A feeling of anxiety or stress that can’t be shaken
- May trigger panic attacks
Some effects that I have noticed personally and in my family are:
- Fatigue
- Unexplained stomach pain
- Grumpiness
- Existing health problems aggravated
Tips for dealing with solar flares:
My personal tips for dealing with solar flares
-Stay hydrated!
Drinking coconut water or adding electrolytes or good salt to your water helps you stay hydrated.
-Limit time with electronics/fluorescent lighting
There is a lot of radiation with solar flares and as I tend to be sensitive, there is a need to avoid extra time on my phone or computer or in a room with fluorescent light bulbs seem to bother me too.
-Get grounded
Movement and being grounded helps my body deal with the extra radiation. Even walking around in the dirt in my backyard helps ground me in the present.
Homeopathic remedies that I have found to personally help
Here are some of the remedies that I have found help dealing with solar flares. As always with homeopathic remedies, make sure that the remedy matches you and your symptoms. This is key in homeopathy with choosing a remedy.
Arsenicum– feeling of being poisoned, unsettled feeling that something isn’t right.
Nux vomica –too much radiation or too much time on electronics
Computer emissions from Helios Pharmacy – I used this one when being on the computer, phone or other electronic devices drains
Radium Bromatum (Rad Brom) – heaviness, fatigue – like you can’t keep your eyes open. Aching sensation, worse getting up from rest.
Other remedies to consider
Phosphonium acidum – exhaustion and fatigue, general state of apathy. Feel ready to collapse
Your constitutional remedy – this is great solution as often a dose of your constitutional remedy will perk you up and if not, the next remedy you should take becomes clearer.
Sol – great for tiredness from too much sun exposure, or tiredness from heat exhaustion
Depending on your symptoms, you may want to consider these other remedies: EMF, Solaris, carb veg.
There are so many amazing homeopathic remedies available. If you are having trouble finding one to help you, I would be happy to work with you.
