Cats are one of the most relaxing pets on earth and they are also one of the most relaxed animals with their ability to sleep almost anywhere at anytime of the day or night.

For example, a plant called lobelia causes vomiting and profuse sweating if it is eaten. But minute amounts of lobelia in a homeopathic medicine may be given as a remedy for a patient experiencing vomiting and excessive sweating. Continue reading
