Healing Is A Process

When I talk about homeopathy, I very often use the word “process”, saying, it is a healing process.

I looked up “process” in THE NEW MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY. One of the meanings listed there is “a series of actions or operations directed towards a particular result”.

If I relate this meaning of “process” to homeopathy, this may be how the parts of the dictionary meaning could be broken down and then put back together expressing the process of homeopathy:

• “A series of actions and operations” is twofold. First, it is having appointments where the homeopath learns, witnesses what is bothering the patient and giving the homeopathic remedy or remedies that is similar to this. The second, that there can be a series of homeopathic remedies used. Some synonyms for “series” are succession, progression, a string. Again, I used THE NEW MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY to look up the word “series”. Some homeopaths have used the word “ladder”, with each rung or step leading to the next one, and towards healing. A path is a lovely image for this.
• “Directed towards a particular result” means it is going somewhere in particular, which is towards health, a healing, to feel better, to no longer be experiencing the symptoms or the health issue anymore or experiencing it less frequently, a cure.
• If I put these phrases together, it may come as: It is a process. By having appointments, the homeopath learns and witnesses what is bothering the patient. This information guides the homeopath in choosing the similar homeopathic remedies to the patient that are needed to help the patient heal. More than one homeopathic remedy may be needed over the healing time.

My Experience

Sometimes, in this process, the first homeopathic remedy is all that is needed. Very often though, a series of homeopathic remedies are needed, using one at a time. Each of the homeopathic remedies that are used gives us more information, and leads to the next homeopathic remedy needed. Sometimes, homeopathic remedies may be used concurrently, which means one remedy is given, and then another one is given several days or a week(s) later. No matter how we proceed, it is always looking at the individual, what they need and is fitting for them.

Some patients:

This patient has had two appointments with me. The first homeopathic remedy we used didn’t do much. At the second appointment, the patient talked about the same things he had said before, and said more. This deepened my understanding of him. I gave him a different homeopathic remedy. We will see how he does. It is a process.

Another patient, a woman, has done very well on the first homeopathic remedy we used. Her congestion and itchy rashes are much better, less virulent and uncomfortable, and she has more energy. She has taken this homeopathic remedy several times over the last 4 months, and has been helped by each dose. In addition, to using this remedy, I will be giving her another homeopathic remedy to address a deeper layer of her, and lessen the sensitivity which may lessen the number of flare ups and intensity of them. We may continue with the first homeopathic remedy given when needed.

I had a follow up with the mother of a nine year old boy, who is the patient. He has done well on the homeopathic remedy. We have given a higher potency of this remedy over the last few months. Some things were better, yet didn’t always maintain. He would slide back some, that is when we would give another dose of the remedy. From this last appointment, another homeopathic remedy was clearly showing, which we are going to use. We may go back to the first one if and when needed. Having these follow up appointments help to get a deeper and wider understanding of the patient.

I have many patients that when something comes up and they are not feeling that well, they contact me along with any other health practitioners they use. At these times, they may need another dose of the homeopathic remedy that has helped them, or a different homeopathic remedy may be needed to address what is going on now.

What Is Bothering You?

When I sit down with a patient at the initial consultation, the first thing I ask them is “What is bothering you?”, “Why are you here?” The patient starts to talk. Sometimes it is a list and sometimes it is just one thing. I will ask, “Tell me more about this.” 

If the patient is a child, I often speak to the parent first. When I talking with the child, I will ask them what is bothering them. Sometimes, what is bothering the child, is not what the parent has said.  

What Is Bothering The Person

Here are a few of what patients have said to me that is bothering them:

• My nose is running all the time. I have to wipe it. It is annoying.
• It feels as if the food is rotting in my stomach.
• I am so anxious.
• I feel so angry at times.
• I have difficulty breathing.
• My younger sister is the boss of me. (Why he came to homeopathy was because of a cough. The cough is what bothered the mother.)
• My neck hurts all the time.
• I feel as though there is dripping in my ear.
• The skin eruption on my face doesn’t go away.
• There are warts on my hands. 
• There are bumps on my skin.
• I am not functioning like I did before the accident.
• I am feeling so weak after having the flu.
• I am having these persistent thoughts that scare me.
• It upsets me so much how other people treat animals and older people.
• Loud sounds are uncomfortable to me. (A child runs to his mother when hearing loud sounds.)
• I have no energy.
• I have these pains in my hands.
• My sex drive has lessened.
• My stomach hurts after I eat. 
• My right side hurts. 
• It hurts when I pee. 
• I am constipated all the time. 
• I have difficulty focusing.
• I have this ongoing cough. 
• I haven’t had my menses. 
• I am having a heavy menstrual flow with clots. 
• I haven’t felt well since ….

You can see how varied the “botherings” are. There often is not a name, nor label to them. It can be a sensation, a feeling, a fear, a physical symptom, a thought, a response, and a reaction. It is something that the person does not like experiencing. It is bothering them. 

I find it very interesting that what can bother one person, such as a skin eruption, may not be bothering another person who also has skin eruptions. This shows me over and over again how individual we all are. My job always, is to see, observe, witness about this person in front of me. How they experience what bothers them. How it affects their life. I am learning about the person’s world, where they live. 

Homeopathy To Heal

We are all different. Two people may a similar physical symptom, yet need a homeopathic remedy that fits them. Over these last few years, I saw about 5 children who had warts. A different homeopathic remedy was needed for each of them. Yes, they all had warts, yet the warts were different and experienced differently.

One of the main principles of homeopathy is LIKE CURES LIKE, or the LAW OF SIMILARS. My job as a homeopath is to find out what bothers the patient, finding out what it is LIKE for them, and then giving them the LIKE (similar) in the form of the homeopathic remedy. 

If you or a loved one has something that is bothering you, I would be happy to talk with you. I offer a complimentary 15+ minute Get Acquainted Call.

Flu and Not Feeling Well This Time of The Year

I wrote a little bit about seasonal illnesses in my last blogpost. I want to add to that. It is the time of the year that we are busier. It is colder. We may be around more people than usual. People get sick and may come down with the flu. 

What to do?

Taking care of ourselves and our family is something that we strive to do all year round. We do the best that we can. Resting when tired. Getting good sleep. Eating nourishing, fresh, organic food, if we can. Drinking liquids. Washing hands. Exercising. Getting fresh air. Doing activities we enjoy. Being with people we love and enjoy. Listening to our body.

If we do become ill, it is good to rest, sleep, drink fluids, eat if we want to, don’t eat if we don’t want, listen to what our body needs. If we have a fever, know that a fever is the way our body heals itself. The heat of the body kills off the bacteria and/or virus. A fever is a good thing. Vitamin A, D, C and Zinc are helpful to use. Homeopathy is helpful too and helpful when someone has a fever.

I think it is important to know that if someone does become ill with the flu, that there are ways to help with their healing, and not to be scared that they are not feeling well. Seeing your physician is a good idea too, if it gives you comfort.  

Homeopathy Helps During The Flu 

During the 1918-1919 influenza epidemic in the USA, homeopathic physicians recorded that those patients treated with homeopathy had a much lower mortality rate than those treated with conventional medicine.

Often in a flu season, there are 3 – 4 specific homeopathic remedies that are good for that particular strain of flu. If you are not moving through the flu in a reasonable amount of time, then homeopathy could be very helpful. It is always seeing what the person is experiencing in their symptoms and giving the homeopathic remedy that is similar to that. Sometimes more than one homeopathic remedy is needed during the course of the flu, using one remedy at a time. The symptoms change as the person moves through, and another homeopathic remedy is needed that is similar to these symptoms. 

When someone has the flu, and seeks out homeopathic care, the homeopath will want to know about this person – the physical, the emotional and mental symptoms. Such as: What is the fever like? What is the cough like? Dry or loose? From the throat or lungs? Pains and discomfort? Headache? Digestive issues? Runny nose? Color of discharge or expectoration? What makes the symptoms worse or better? Are they hot or cold? Their thirst? Difficulty breathing? Do they want to be by themselves or with others? Do they need to be comforted? Are they irritable? Do they want the window open or closed? Do they want to be covered or uncovered? And more. It is finding out about this individual person. 

I recently had a patient who was sick. She had a headache that would not go away. She didn’t have much of an appetite. Her skin felt hot, and felt hot when she touched. She did not have a fever. That symptom was unusual to me. She had taken a homeopathic remedy before calling me. I suggested one remedy, which didn’t do much. The second remedy helped, and the headache subsided. I could even hear in her voice on the phone after taking this homeopathic remedy that she was feeling better, her voice was stronger. 

I also saw two patients who had tested positive on a home Covid test. They experienced weakness, a headache, loss of appetite, strong sensation on the tongue. Homeopathy helped. 

Homeopathy Helps After The Flu

Sometimes, someone goes through the flu fine, but then there are some lingering affects. The person may tire easily. There may be a persistent cough. Their appetite may not have returned to what it was before they had become ill. Someone may feel light headed; experience aches and pains; have an off and on low grade fever; or just not feel well. This lingering experience may be longer than a few months. For example, someone may have a health condition for several years, and when asked what was going on when this condition started, the person may say I had the flu, three years ago, and haven’t felt well since. Homeopathy is helpful in this situation. It is called “Never been well since” – NBWS. NBWS can be after many different life occurrences, such as flu, another illness, a surgery, a fall, a trauma, a loss of a dear person, a home or a job.  

Homeopathy Heals

It is good to know that if you do become ill with the flu, the coronavirus, or any other seasonal illness homeopathy can help and heal. Homeopathy is safe, gentle and non toxic. It is helpful for people of all ages, including pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Homeopathy And Homeopathic Remedies

Many people have heard of homeopathy. They may have seen the word homeopathy written or printed on products. For many people, homeopathy has become synonymous for the word natural, and may be used that way in the media when describing healing treatments and products. When I am talking about homeopathy to someone new, they may say to me, or think to themselves, that this essential oils or herbal medicine or supplements. Those are not what homeopathy is.

Homeopathy is its own system of medicine. It was developed by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann in the late 1700’s. Homeopathy means “similar suffering”: homeo (or homoeo, the original spelling – homoeopathy) means similar, and pathy means suffering. Through listening, observing, witnessing, and understanding what is bothering the person and how they experience it, their suffering, a homeopathic remedy is given that is similar to their suffering. This is applying the Law of Similars or Like Cures Like, one of the main principles of homeopathy. The given homeopathic remedy stimulates the person’s own innate healing ability.

Similar suffering, homeopathy, is helpful for first aid situations, acute health issues, and chronic health issues. It is always finding out how the person experiences what is bothering them and giving them the similar to that in the form of a homeopathic remedy.

What Is A Homeopathic Remedy?

There are over 4000 homeopathic remedies. They are made from plants, minerals, metals, animals, and other natural and even man made sources.

Each substance that is made into a homeopathic remedy goes through a potentization process, in which the substance starts either in a mother tincture form or grinded up (triturated) and made into a liquid. To make the C or centesimal potency, one part of the mother tincture is mixed with 99 parts of a water/alcohol liquid. This liquid is then succussed, meaning shaken vigorously and banged against a book or hard surface, resulting in the 1C potency. This is the hand method of making homeopathic remedies that Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed.

To make the 2C potency, one part of the 1C potency is mixed with 99 parts of a water/alcohol liquid and succussed. At the 12C potency, this process of potenization has been done 12 times. Higher potencies can be made continuing this method, such as 15C, 30C, and 200C. There is the X potency, which is 10 parts. These are 6X, 12X and 30X. And the M potency, which is 1000 parts, making 1M, 10M, 50M and CM. Some of you may have used these potencies.

At the 12C potency and higher ones, there is nothing left of the physical substance of which the homeopathic remedy is made from. It is the energetic pattern of the substance. The selection of the homeopathic remedy and the potency used are similar to what the person is experiencing. Similar suffering, homeopathic.

During Hahnemann’s time, the late 1700’s early 1800’s, mercury was used as a medicine to help people who had syphilis and for other ailments. The people were cured, but they were dead, poisoned by the use of mercury. By coming up with this potenization method of diluting and succussing, Hahnemann was making these substances that were deadly in their crude form, into substances that were gentle, safe, and healing. I don’t know how he came to this potenization method, but to me it is genius.

When making the tincture or grinding the substance only a small part of the substance is used to make a lot of a homeopathic remedy. With homeopathic remedies that are made from an animal, the animal is not killed. A small part of the milk, a feather, a drop of blood, or venom is used to make the homeopathic remedy.

The homeopathic remedies that I use in my practice are purchased from a homeopathic pharmacy, such as Hahnemann Labs in Northern California, and Helios in England. These pharmacies make the homeopathic remedies on their premises, using the method that Dr. Samuel Hahnemann developed, that I briefly described above, by hand and by the use of a machine to do the succession. There are other pharmacies in Europe, India, the US, and other parts of the world.

Homeopathy To Heal

Homeopathy is helpful for many of the health issues people experience today. These passed several weeks I have seen and had calls from people experiencing a cough and fever, wanting help when having dental work, skin eruptions, allergies, pain in their hands, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed, cysts in a breast, bloating, and sudden abdominal pains that goes away and comes back again. The age range was from a young child to an older adult.

Taking Everything Into Consideration – Seeing The Totality Of The Person

Many people come in for homeopathic care for a chronic health issue, that they may have been experiencing for awhile. When I meet with a patient I am finding out how they experience what is bothering them.

Sometimes, this may take several appointments. Each appointment gives more information towards getting the totality picture of the person. To have as complete a picture of the person, helps to come to the homeopathic remedy that is most similar to the patient.

Taking Everything Into Consideration

All of what I have listed here, and maybe more, makes up the totality of the person.

• What is bothering them? Why have they come for homeopathic care?
• How do they experience what bothers them? Pain, discomfort, side of body, what makes it worse or better, other symptoms with it. The sensation of what bothers them. Why is this a problem?
• When did it start? What was going in their life when it started? A trauma, a loss of job, loss of a relationship or loved one, a physical move, diet change, medications taken, a particular medical condition?
• An unusual symptom or how someone experiences a symptoms uniquely to them. It is called strange, rare and peculiar (SRP)
• Emotional  state
• Mental state                                                        
• Dreams
• Fears
• Childhood – events, illnesses
• Trauma – illnesses, loss of loved one, loss of home, accident, loss of job, accident, natural disasters
• Interests
• Medical history
• Family medical history –  susceptibility to health concerns are passed down from one generation to another. Susceptibility means a tendency to experience/develop certain symptoms or illnesses.
• Medications taken over lifetime, especially if they were ongoing. The person may have noticed changes/symptoms when starting the medications, or later on. Medications like: antibiotics, vaccines, for fertility treatments, birth control pills.
• Use of a substance for a long period of time, which has been toxic, such as chewing tobacco, smoking, drinking alcohol, and use of cell phone, especially with children. Symptoms or ill health developed after this. I have read cases about symptoms and ill health developing with overuse of what I have listed here.

Seeing The Totality Of The Person

It is seeing the totality. Finding out as much as possible about the patient. Seeing what may have brought them to this state of ill health. With this understanding and knowledge of their totality, a homeopathic remedy is given. As the healing process moves forward, this first homeopathic remedy may be repeated, a higher potency/strength of the remedy may be given, or another homeopathic remedy will be given. It is a process. Each homeopathic remedy helps us to move forward to the next, and is chosen based on the similarity to what the person is experiencing at that time. The Law of Similars or Like Cures Like is the main principle of homeopathy. The given homeopathic remedies stimulate the person’s own healing abilities, bringing the person back to a more healthful state of being.

Homeopathy To Heal

These are some of the recent health issues people have called me about, and have come in for homeopathic care. Many of these people have also reached out to their physician.

• skin eruptions – warts, eczema, rashes
• swollen lymph nodes
• vertigo
• migraines/headaches
• fears/phobias
• anxiety/depression
• digestive issues
• menstrual issues
• extreme sensitivity to sound and noise
• reactions to vaccines
• traumas – physical, emotional, mental
• eye discomfort and infection
• pressure in the head
• not feeling right

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.

I Have This _____? Can Homeopathy Help Me?

Recently, I was asked if homeopathy could help with plantar fasciitis. She said since she hadn’t read about it on my website, she wondered if homeopathy could help.

I said yes.

I was very glad she had asked about this. I thought perhaps other people may have had the same thought that homeopathy could not help them if they hadn’t read anything written about it in my information, website, blog, and newsletter. Since not seeing the name of it, they may have thought that homeopathy could not help them.

We often need to read specifically what we “have” written about, or to hear a story of someone like us using a particular healing modality before we may consider it. For example to know if homeopathy has helped someone with plantar fasciitis, then someone may look into homeopathy.

Homeopathy focuses on how the individual experiences what is bothering them. When a homeopath meets with a person the general and usual symptoms of what is bothering is heard, such as with plantar fasciitis, AND, other symptoms of the individual are heard too. These symptoms can be about their emotional state, other physical symptoms they experience, mental functioning, sleep, dreams, fears and more. All of this, these pieces, are taken together to make up the totality of the person. The totality is what is focused on to heal. The plantar fasciitis is one of the pieces, or several of them.

The given homeopathic remedy is similar to this totality. The main principle of homeopathy is LIKE CURES LIKE, or The Law of Similars. The homeopathic remedy that is given is for the totality of the person, including the plantar fasciitis. This could be said for any “this is what I have”, name of a disease or syndrome that someone is experiencing, autoimmune diseases included. The “have” is a piece of the total picture. 

I find that a lot of people have been give a name to what is bothering them. They may be having treatment for it, but are not feeling better. At this point, they may be looking for other healing modalities. That is why they ask me, “I have this __________________,  can homeopathy help me?”

If there is a health issue you or a loved one are experiencing and you haven’t seen anything written about it in my information, I invite you to contact me. Let’s talk. I offer a complimentary Get Acquainted Call or Zoom meeting to see if homeopathy is something you would want to pursue.

Homeopathy Is A Living Medicine

A living medicine.

I talk to myself quite a bit. Recently I said to myself that homeopathy is a living medicine.  I was thinking about how people use homeopathy, and this thought – homeopathy is a living medicine – came to me.

What I mean about a living medicine actually has several aspects.

First – the substances that homeopathic remedies are made from are living. Homeopathic remedies are made from plants, metals and minerals (the period table), animals (animals are not killed to make homeopathic remedies), and what is called imponderables, such as sunlight and moonlight. All of these substances – plants, minerals and metals, animals, imponderables – are alive in some way. They are and/or have energy.

Second – the energy part. The fact that these substances are energy makes them alive. Energy moves, changes, adapts, grows, affects, and reproduces. All of these can be descriptions of being alive.

Third – relating to a living being, a person or an animal (homeopathy is very helpful for animals). The individual. How the person is. How they experience what bothers them. I think this is really what triggered my thought about homeopathy being a living medicine. The individual, what they are expressing through their symptoms, their state, is their aliveness. This is what we want to address. As a homeopath, this is what I want to know, witnessing this with the patient.

The main principle of homeopathy is Like Cures Like. It is giving the similar to what the person is experiencing in the form of the homeopathic remedy. The aliveness of what the person is experiencing, with the aliveness of the  homeopathic remedy that is similar to them. Like cures like. Living/aliveness cures living/aliveness

Fourth – the aliveness. The living. The ability to change. Looking at the individual. This being. Their uniqueness. Not a one size fits all. This is the aliveness. And possibly, healing is alive too. It is change.

If I can be of help to you or a loved one, please contact me here on this blog or through my website www.homeopthytoheal.com.  I offer a complimentary 15 minute Get Acquainted Call to see if homeopathy is something you want to pursue at this time. 

More About Arnica Montana – A Personal Story

Arnica Montana is often the first homeopathic remedy that someone uses, introducing them to homeopathy.  Moms use the remedy a lot with their children. I have written about the use of Arnica Montana for first aid situations, such as traumas, falls, surgeries, and injuries in several of my blog posts. Here is one of those posts.

Each homeopathic remedy is not just for one health condition. The thinking that I have this _____________________, then I need this homeopathic remedy, is not how homeopathy works. I know we do so that with Arnica, using it when there is an injury, as I wrote above, but Arnica can be used, like other  homeopathic remedies, for not just one thing.

Homeopathic remedies have what we call a “picture”, which is a description of the remedy. As a homeopath, I am matching the picture of the person to the picture of a homeopathic remedy. This is Like Cures Like, the main principle of homeopathy – the Law of Similars.

A Personal Story

My left arm started to be very painful. I have had something like this before. I call it a “cold” in my arm.  It hurt in several different places on my arm – around the elbow, the upper arm, the shoulder, the shoulder blade and even down to the fingers. It was a sore, bruised feeling. It hurt almost all the time, and more so when I moved the arm, and even when I moved my right arm, my left arm would hurt. (We are connected.)  At night, getting into a comfortable position took time. I babied the arm, and wore clothes that were easy to put on and didn’t need help in snapping or zipping.

I gave myself the homeopathic remedy Bryonia at first. It didn’t seem to help. Then I thought, I am feeling bruised and sore. So bruised. I didn’t injure the arm, nor was there any kind of an accident. But there was this sore and bruised feeling. So I took the homeopathic remedy Arnica. I dissolved three 30C pellets of Arnica in water, and took  several doses of it (teaspoonfuls), over a period of time. A day or so later, I took Arnica 200C potency, and really felt a change after that, a bettering – less sore and bruised. The next morning, I noticed I was starting to use my arm more, still being careful with it. And the healing has continued.

When I had talked with a friend about my arm, she asked me if I had thought about getting a massage. I immediately said, “I don’t want to be touched”. At first I thought, that is not true, because I am touching my arm at times, feeling the points where it hurts, and slowly, gently pressing on them and massaging them.

I thought about what I had said, that I don’t want to be touched. It was true. I didn’t want my arm to be touched. I didn’t want anyone to touch it. And I was being so very, very careful with my arm, not letting anything touch it.

The “I don’t want to be touched” is a keynote, a main characteristic, of the homeopathic remedy Arnica Montana, along with the sore and bruised feelings. The person will say, I am fine, but they don’t want to be touched, because they are not fine. And this is what I was saying. It was so interesting to me that I said that.

I didn’t have an injury, but as I am writing this, I remember that I was noticing that I was having very different dreams than I usually have. In these dreams I had the feeling of being threatened and of the possibility of being hurt. I found I was escaping from a lot of situations that could be dangerous. Perhaps in some ways, I had felt injured, maybe not physically, but something may have happened in my life, maybe on an emotional level, and I was feeling injured. This was being expressed through my dreams and through the physical sensations of soreness and bruising I was experiencing.

Homeopathy To Heal

To come to the homeopathic remedy that is needed, it is ALWAYS finding out how the person is feeling, not that they have __________________. How the person is feeling can manifest in many areas. Some of these are: physical symptoms, dreams, fears, emotional states, mental functioning, and spiritual questioning. All of this information is what guides the homeopath in selecting the homeopathic remedy that fits the person, that is similar to the person, and helps in their healing.

A Personal Post – I Love Homeopathy

This is a personal post.

I love homeopathy.

I get discouraged at times. Homeopathy is challenging. My job is to understand the suffering of the patient, and then match it with the similar, in the form of a homeopathic remedy. It is LIKE CURES LIKE (Law of Similars). This is so, whether in a first aid situation (an insect bite), an acute condition (an ear infection), or a chronic condition (reactions to vaccines or an injury, chronic pain and fatigue, anxiety and other ongoing, chronic health issues.)

In my practice, I continually see how homeopathy helps people in their health, and that they are doing and feeling better. When I see this happen, it brings me back to the thought that there is such a need for homeopathy. I say to myself at this time, I love homeopathy! I love that I practice homeopathy. I love that homeopathy is available to people. I love that I can contribute to people’s health. And I love learning more about homeopathy.

Thank You

A big thank you to all of you who read this post, and posts that I have written in the past. It shows me that you are wanting, and are open to having choices for your health care, and that you are open to homeopathy.

If you want to know more about homeopathy, Amy Lansky wrote a wonderful book titled THE IMPOSSIBLE CURE.
