Urgent Homeopathy Update | The Stuff Arrived
Yesterday I got an envelope in the mail from my homeopath. The moment I’d been waiting weeks for: what substance did he send me?
Inside the envelope were two packets labeled “Ambra Grisea 200x”.
Yes. Ambergris. A perfumy substance from the digestive tract of the sperm whale. The preparation is definitely suited to my personality. Ambergris can be found floating in the sea, so its harvest doesn’t require the killing of a whale. So even though synthetic ambergris does exist, it’s possible that this is the real thing.
The Ambra Grisea in the envelopes were in a dry grain form, like sugar. Apparently, for homeopathic preparations, the ambergris is diluted with milk sugar, or lactose.
The hand-written instructions said to dissolve the first packet under my tongue 30 minutes before or after eating dinner and brushing my teeth. I chose after. It was hard to get all the little pellets under my tongue though, but I got most of them. The taste was very pleasant. It tasted like an artificial sweetener. I have to take the second dose this afternoon. So far I feel no effects, but I’ll wait it out and see what happens.
Stumble it!

I feel the urgency. But not in my intestines (those I have left at any rate). Is ambergris produced in the large or small intestines of the whale?

Honestly Chris. Do you really think a whale has small intestines? They have large and less-large intestines.
