The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing

Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control. The unconscious level of the mind is where homeopaths partake in the big story of humanity as a whole: of the individual’s life, the archetypical initiations, transitions and thresholds shared by all humanity.

More Than Just Fishy

Individuals who represent the homeopathic Phytolacca Decandra personality tend to fall ill often. They also typically present with a host of emotional issues — with the seat of their health problems residing in the glands.

A Case Of Childhood Depression

Many remedies share similar symptoms. Finding the simillimum — a homeopathic remedy that is best suited to the given patient — to a case can be a challenging [also humbling] undertaking. However by using Dr Paul Herscu’s method of ‘cycles and segments,’ I believe one can sometimes quickly get an insight into the nature of the patient’s difficulties in a way that helps to find the remedy more easily. The cycles and segments method offers a practical way of organising information and promotes deep and integrated homeopathic Materia Medica study, free from the cumbersome memorisation of long symptom lists.

Homeopathy & Healthy Aging

21 Years Of Ultra-Dilution Homeopathic Research

‘Ultra High Dilution’ was a landmark in the evolution of research in homeopathy, representing the first multidisciplinary work to address the ‘how and why’ of the actions of ultra-high dilutions. For two decades, ‘Ultra High Dilution’ was widely quoted within the research community. In 2015, it was time to re-visit and review the 21 years of research activity since studies were collated for this publication. The original authors from 1994 [or, close laboratory colleagues] were asked to contribute papers covering their research efforts, experience and insights into ultra-high dilutions [UHDs] in the period from 1994, up to 2015. This article highlights key aspects of the reassessment conducted in 2015.

Chronic Illness, Immunity & Homeopathy

We, homeopaths, were right in our opposition to the use of allopathic pharmaceutical medicine, at the ‘drop’ of a symptom.

Its principles are universally applicable; they have also shown clinical evidence of efficacy, across a wide range of conditions and fields that include physical and mental health.

Migraine & Homeopathy

Homeopathy should always be offered to migraine sufferers, because for most, if not all, individuals, the results can be incredible.

Homeopathy & Tummy Distress - Gut Wellness

When patients recount stories related to gut distress — where one or two seemingly simple symptoms get treated and then evolve into a cascade of many and oftentimes worse symptoms — a homeopath’s first thought is always, “How I wish you had come to see me earlier.” This is simply because homeopathy and natural medicine, used early on, can nip the early symptoms in the bud, averting a downward health spiral and saving patients much suffering.

Saina Nehwal's Wellness Mantra

Saina Nehwal needs no introduction. She is a professional badminton singles player. She has, so far, won over twenty-three international titles, which also includes ten Superseries titles. That she reached the world # 2 ranking in 2009 is passé, because it was only in 2015 that she was able to attain the world # 1 ranking, and become the only woman player from India and overall the second ever — after Prakash Padukone — to achieve the feat. She has represented India three times in the Olympics, winning the bronze in her second appearance.
