Four Simple Remedies to Transform Your Garden

If you are a gardener (or farmer) you already know about the carnage snails,
caterpillars and aphids inflict. Add the problem of water-repellent or poor soil,
and plants literally start to die from the ground up. The good news is that the
following four homeopathic remedies manage these problems and more for very
little time and effort. Watch your plants thrive as you put them to good use in
your garden.
1. Helix tosta Slugs and Snails Gone for Up to Four Months

Snails and slugs are probably the most widespread of garden pests. Gardeners
try to control them with everything from geese, salt, vinegar and beer traps to
commercial baits or pellets. None of these methods provide a long-term solution,
and the poisons within some baits and pellets introduce toxins into the
environment that are dangerous to children and animals as well as the birds and
lizards that eat the baited snails.

In contrast, Helix tosta, the homeopathic remedy made from toasted snail shell
(of all things!) works quickly and safely. Its simple to apply, long-lasting, and
creates a stronger and healthier plant. Protection that last up to 4 months is in
place from just one dose, even during the heaviest of downpours and it doesnt
harm the environment. We know this to be true because one of our clinic
homoeopaths, Michelle, tried Helix tosta on her snail-infested rhubarb. Read
what happened in our Snails and Slugs Pack their Bags and Leave with
Homeopathy article.

Following Michelles experience, we conducted a survey with some of our

newsletter subscribers to find out what happened in their gardens when Helix
tosta was used. Their results can be read at: Preliminary Responses from the
Helix Tosta Survey and Helix tosta Survey Results

To celebrate our combined success, we provided instructions for those

adventurous souls who wanted to make the remedy themselves rather than
purchase it. The process is a relatively simple and you can read how to do it in
the Snails and Slugs Pack their Bags and Leave with Homeopathy article.

And finally, we provided instructions on how to apply Helix tosta to your plants
homemade or not at: Helix Tosta Instructions for Use

Interesting Facts -Tuberculosis and the Humble Snail: Historically, the snail has
been used in folk medicine to treat the symptoms of tuberculosis (TB). When
homeopaths potentised the snail, turning it into a homeopathic remedy, they
found it still helped TB sufferers but it was obviously a little less eeew-w-w!
Just as TB is a disease that destroys the respiratory organs (lungs) of the human
body, the snail destroys the respiratory organ of the plant (its leaves). This
similarity across symptoms is quite possibly a reason why it stimulates a positive
response in both humans and plants.
2. Coccinella septempunctata Goodbye to Aphids

Aphids pierce and suck the young shoots and buds of plants, feeding on the sap
and stunting growth. Aphids, unlike our Helix tosta example, cannot be repelled
by potentised aphid it has been tried in numerous ways and has always failed.
It took a while to discover that a potentised aphid predator, the ladybird, was an
effective deterrent.

Coccinella septempunctata is the homeopathic remedy made from the ladybird

beetle (sometimes called ladybug, ladybeetle, or sunchafer). Ladybird is a
natural predator of the aphid. It also deters or reduces aphid populations when
applied as a homeopathic remedy, even though none of the ladybird remains
within the remedy. Good and prolonged results are usually obtained with just one
dose occasionally a second dose is required, but care should be taken not to
apply it more often than is needed as unnecessary applications will have the
opposite effect and encourage aphid infestations.

Instructions for using Coccinella are provided toward the end of this article.
3. Bombyx processiona Caterpillars Crawl Away

Bombyx processiona is a remedy prepared from the Procession Caterpillar.This

remedy deters most types of caterpillar infestations on the farm or in the garden.

Procession Caterpillars live in colonies at the base of trees. During the day they
climb the tree to eat its foliage. Once it has been stripped bare they will crawl in
single file in a procession to the next tree. When Bombyx processiona, the
remedy prepared from these caterpillars, is sprayed onto plants or watered into
their root system, they naturally repel those moths and caterpillars that would
normally infest them. There is no remedy residue that acts as a barrier. Instead,

just as with humans, the remedy triggers a healthy response from the plant that
makes it more resistant and less appetising to parasites that would normally
attack it if it were in a less healthy state. And, of course, what is good for the
plant ends up being good for us when we eat or use it.

Instructions for using Bombyx are provided toward the end of this article.
4. Silicea terra King of the Garden Remedies

Perhaps the most important remedy in agricultural homeopathy is Silicea terra.

No other remedy can lay claim to the depth and breadth of action Silicea has on
plants and soil. It:

Aids germination of seeds

Reduces transplant shock
Strengthens weak and spindly plants
Increases vigour and resistance of plants to pests, moulds, and mildew
Aids water retention in plants growing on arid soils
Stimulates flower growth, both in number and size
Assists seed generation and development
Improves fruit-setting when applied after flowering
Changes the ionisation of soil particles so that water-repellent soil more readily
absorbs moisture and more!

In fact, the effects and benefits of homeopathic Silicea are so numerous that an
entire article has been devoted to them at: Homeopathic Silica The Gardeners
Friend. Needless to say, Silicea is one remedy no gardener or farmer should be
without.

Instructions for using Silicea are provided toward the end of this article.
Instructions for Agrohomeopathy Remedy Use and Storage

Just add one 6X or 6C potency pill to 200 ml of water, shake vigorously, and then
spray on the leaves of your plant or water into its roots (many say watering the
soil above the plants roots with some of the liquid is more effective than spraying
the liquid onto the leaves).

Store pills and liquid away from light, moisture, and high temperatures (normal
household temperatures are fine). Close range mobile phone and microwave
oven emissions have been shown to affect homeopathic remedies, so keep your
pills and liquid away from these appliances.

One vial of 100 pills makes 20 litres of remedy.

(Agrohomeopathy remedies are available from the Homeopathy Plus Shop)
