Episode 39: Homeopathy and PoTS with Paula Webb

Episode Description:

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, Mary Greensmith welcomes homeopath Paula Webb to talk about her specialist work helping people with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and long COVID. Paula shares how homeopathy offers hope for patients often left without answers by conventional medicine.

What is POTS?

Paula explains that POTS is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, which affects things like heart rate, blood flow, and digestion. Symptoms can include dizziness, fainting, palpitations, headaches, sweating, digestive issues, and temperature changes. Many patients face years of misdiagnosis, visiting numerous specialists before finally getting a clear answer.

Paula’s Journey into Specialising in POTS

Paula didn’t plan to specialize in POTS — it found her! After helping a young woman who was fainting up to 15 times a day, Paula realized homeopathy could make a real difference. She wrote a blog about it, and soon, people from all over the world reached out for help.

How Paula Works with POTS and Long COVID Clients

Paula treats POTS and long COVID clients from all over the world via online consultations. She describes herself and her clients as a “detective team,” carefully observing symptoms to find the right remedy. Healing is usually gradual, but some clients respond very quickly.

The Remedies and Healing Approach

While every case is different, Paula often finds polycrest remedies like Phosphorus, Sulphur, Natrum Muriaticum, and Calcarea Carbonica helpful. She emphasizes that patients often have many layers of past traumas, infections, or emotional stresses that need healing step-by-step, not just a quick fix.

Triggers and Causes of POTS and Long COVID

Paula discusses common triggers for POTS, including viral infections (like Epstein-Barr), pregnancy, surgery, head trauma, long COVID, COVID vaccines, and emotional trauma. Often, POTS develops after the body has been pushed beyond its natural limits.

The Importance of Patient Participation

Healing with homeopathy requires active participation. Paula encourages clients to observe their symptoms carefully and work closely with her. Over time, clients become more in tune with their bodies and more empowered in their own healing.

Paula’s Supportive Community

After facing skepticism in mainstream POTS groups, Paula started her own supportive Facebook group: Natural Treatment for POTS. It’s a safe space where people can explore natural options like homeopathy without judgment.

Paula’s passion shines through. She offers hope to those with complex conditions like POTS and long COVID, guiding them gently toward recovery with patience, dedication, and deep care.
