Homeopathy for the Summer

Virangini Cindy Rounsaville, C.Hom. is a homeopathic health consultant and educator who has served clients and others interested in learning about homeopathy since 1983. Her first experience with homeopathy was when she was stung by several bees as a young girl. After her father utilized a homeopathic remedy, Apis Mellifica, she noticed the redness and stinging pains vanished almost immediately. Homeopathy is a gentle, natural system of healing that works with your body to stimulate the immune system to relieve symptoms, restore balance and improve your overall health. Homeopathy is affordable, safe, natural and FDA regulated. To learn more about the five homeopathic remedies, attend Virangini Cindy Rounsaville’s 3-week series called Homeopathy for the Summertime on May 17, 31 and June 7.

The three sessions will cover the homeopathic remedies recommended for addressing their summertime needs, including alleviating sunburn, poison ivy, allergies, tick bites and bee stings. Learn how to select and administer homeopathic remedies to get results. The class is $95, which includes written notes.

Virangini Cindy Rounsaville has studied extensively with internationally renowned homeopath and author Dr. Robin Murphy, N.D. and many other experts in the field, and over two decades has helped hundreds of people achieve better health and happier lives.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
