What is this LIKE CURES LIKE That I keep Writing About?

What is this Like Cures Like or Law of Similars, that I keep writing about? What is this giving the similar to what the patient is experiencing in the form of a homeopathic remedy?

Onion

Think how it feels when you are cutting, peeling, or slicing an onion. Your eyes start to tear, to burn and to sting. You wipe or rub your eyes, sometimes using a cloth, trying to get out whatever is in them, if there is anything. Your nose may also start to run or drip. Other people may say you are crying. You say you are crying. It doesn’t feel like it does when you are crying. Yes, there are tears, but this is not how you feel when you cry. Your eyes don’t usually sting or burn when you are crying.

If someone is experiencing these kinds of symptoms that I described above when they have a cold or an allergy, the homeopathic remedy Allium cepa may be helpful for them. Allium cepa is made from the red onion.

It doesn’t matter if it is a cold or an allergy. It is the symptoms of the burning, the stinging, the tearing, the runny eyes and nose that are guiding the homeopath to the homeopathic remedy. In this case, guiding them to Allium cepa. The name, whether it is a cold or allergy, doesn’t mean anything. It is the symptoms that are the guide.

The example of peeling an onion is used very often to explain Like Cures Like.

Symptoms

The symptoms are the pieces of the total picture of the person. Homeopaths use the symptoms as a guide to what homeopathic remedy is needed for the person; matching the homeopathic remedy to the symptoms that make up the totality of the person. This is Like Cures Like. You can see why the homeopath needs to know a lot about each person, so the similar, the similar homeopathic remedy, can be given.

The symptoms are the way the vital force, the immune system, the chi, of the person is trying to heal itself. Giving the similar in the form of the homeopathic remedy assists in the person’s healing process.

When I meet with a patient, I am finding out about them, about their symptoms. This can be for any health issue that a person comes to homeopathy for – such as menstrual difficulties, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, skin eruptions, fears, headaches, allergies, sore throats, ear infections, autoimmune issues, to list just a few. And then giving the similar in the form of the homeopathic remedy, Like Cures Like.

Coronavirus

Over a year ago, I wrote several blogs on how homeopathy can be helpful with the coronavirus. I want to mention this again. Homeopathy is helpful: 

• if someone comes down with the coronavirus
• is having “long haul”, lingering types of symptoms
• has a “breakthrough” infections
• has had a vaccine and is experiencing side effects from it, soon after or continuing over a period of time.

Homeopaths all over the world are helping people using homeopathic remedies that are similar to what the person is experiencing, in regards to the coronavirus. Again, this is Like Cures Like.

We don’t hear about how homeopathy is helpful in mainstream news. I want you to know that there are ways to help yourself and your family. And homeopathy can be used along with other healing modality treatments.

More 3 – Coronavirus And Homeopathy – We Are Doing Our Best

I think we are all doing the best we can in these times.

For many, it is difficult  – whether staying inside and home; being alone; being with family and it is difficult; not seeing friends or loved ones: not working; having children home: changes in schedules; worried about finances; worried about getting sick; shopping; going out or not going out; missing an event or trip that was planned; feeling angry about what is going on; grieving; boredom and more.

People are being creative and resourceful – painting, singing, dancing, creating masks, cooking and baking, doing/offering webinars, finding new ways to do their business, learning, connecting with people in new ways, helping other people out with their shopping, planting a garden and ….

And there are restful moments, times that we feeling hope, connection, love, and togetherness.

I know for me, at times, I feel sad, feel angry, feel a dampening over me, as if there is a heaviness all over me. I feel anxious, restless, lonely, thankful, inspired and grateful. I am watching a lot of webinars and learning. I am painting. I am weeding. Doing yoga. Walking. Binging on programs. Connecting with friends. Putting homeopathy out there.

We are all in this together. Someone wrote that we are in the same storm, but in different boats. We are in a similar experience, but may have different responses and reactions to what is going on from other people.

We are doing our best. We are doing the best we can.

And to be kind to ourselves.

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy can be helpful for all the stages of this pandemic.

• The stages of actually being sick – from the first signs of not feeling well, to later signs/symptoms and in between.
• The stages of not actually being sick with the virus. But still not feeling well. All of what is triggered in us.
• The stages of convalescence. Whether one was sick or one was not sick with the virus, we all have been affected by this. There may be lingering states, symptoms, fears, and sensitivities after this time has passed.  What will be afterwards?

Homeopathy is helpful for all of this.
