Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 149.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: Successfully Healing a Toddler’s Cellulitis

Kate: (01:00 )

Hello and welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast, where we explore real-life stories and empowering solutions using the gentle and effective power of Practical Homeopathy®. I’m Kate, and I’m so glad that you’re here with us today.

We have a heartfelt and inspiring episode for you. I’m joined by Jordan, a mom whose story is a shining example of what calm confidence and the right knowledge can do, especially when it matters most.

She’ll be sharing how her understanding and experience with Practical Homeopathy® helped her to navigate a potentially serious health issue: cellulitis in one of her children.

You’ll hear how Jordan stayed grounded through the uncertainty, trusted what she knew, and took action in a way that supported her daughter’s recovery beautifully.

So, whether you’re new to homeopathy or a seasoned user, this episode will leave you feeling encouraged and empowered. Welcome to the podcast, Jordan.

Jordan:

Happy to be back. Thanks for having me again, Kate.

Kate:

Yes! So, you might have heard Jordan’s story in a previous podcast. It was Podcast 99, where she shared her story. So, you might want to take a listen to that when you have some time.

But Jordan is one of the team members at JoetteCalabrese.com. She is actually an amazing writer. In fact, if you’re a Mighties Plus member, you may have experienced her delightful writing. She helps with those Remedy Riddles we all know and love and are posted each month.

If you’re not a Mighties Plus member, and you don’t know what we’re talking about, you can find that information at JoettesLearningCenter.com. Check it out. It’s a really great community. Jordan, thank you for being with us, and you’re going to share mostly about a case of cellulitis that you dealt with, with your daughter.

So, let’s just dive in. Can you tell us what happened?

I Thought They Were Bites

Jordan: (02:49 )

Yeah, so my daughter, Zélie, was just over a year old when this happened. So, she was very little, and it began with what seemed to be a few bites on her legs — very red, hard, swollen, definitely looked painful.

The first time I noticed them was when I was changing her diaper right before bedtime. And when I saw the bites, I thought she had been off that day. She woke up early from her nap crying, and she’s normally very cheery and bubbly. But she was just not her normal cheery self that day.

So, when I saw the bites, I thought, “Okay, this makes sense.”

I gave a few doses of Ledum 200 and put her to bed and then kept a close eye on it through the night. Whenever she woke up to nurse during the night — which is very typical for her, she nurses quite a bit — I would give her a dose of Ledum and feel her legs to see if this swelling was going down. And it was. So, I was feeling very encouraged and thought, “Okay, good. This is going to be gone quickly.”

The next morning, looked at her legs, and they definitely looked better initially. They were flatter, and they were fading. But then it took a wrong turn very quickly.

So, it would maybe be only an hour or so later that I noticed that the spots were rapidly spreading. It was probably during one of her diaper changes, and they were all over her legs, and they were very inflamed, very angry-looking.

Now, Kate, as you know, I have seven kids. I think you joked one time that my house was an urgent care — which it’s true. There’s always something going on here, but I had never seen this before. This was beyond my experience.

Time to Pivot … but I Needed Support

Jordan: (04:13 )

I could tell it was probably a systemic reaction of some kind because of how it was spreading. But beyond that, I was not sure.

So, I definitely started to feel overwhelmed.

I don’t know about you, but when I’m confused and I don’t know what the next step is, I start to feel very overwhelmed. So, I had that feeling of panic setting in.

But then, very soon after I was starting to feel my heart racing, I heard Joette’s little voice say in the back of my head, “You need to know what you’re treating. You need to know the name of the condition. Then you can just choose the correct protocol.”

So, I thought, “Great. That’s my next step.” So, I called my sister to see if she knew what this was. Nicole is one of Joette’s Academy graduates. So, she’s very knowledgeable, very competent, and has always been a very strong support to me.

So, when she saw the pictures of Zélie’s legs, almost immediately she said, “That looks like cellulitis.” And she knew what she was talking about because many years ago, her own daughter had been bitten and had developed cellulitis.

So, even before we were off the phone, I began giving Zélie Hyper/Ars 200, which is the Banerji Protocol for cellulitis that I had learned in the Antibiotic Alternative class.

Thinking Several Steps Ahead

Kate: (05:18 )

Okay, so let me just clarify, Jordan, that is a combination remedy of Hypericum and Arsen
