Homeopathic Narratives: How Nature Heals

N72: Preparation of Natural Medicines - Part 2

This is the second in the series of preparing remedies homeopathically. Preparing a homeopathic remedy part 2 is a continuation on the discussion on how to make remedies using the natural way and the way of nature.  First nations for thousands of years used what Hahnemann rediscovered over 200 years and reintroduced into modern civilization.  Going back to making remedies homeopathically can be done easily with trituration and other ways of dynamizing a remedy. Doing a proving while making a remedy is a wonderful group way of healing us and healing individually.

N71: Preparation of Natural Medicines - Part 1

The preparation of natural medicines part 1 is the start of a three part discussion on how to prepare homeopathic medicine and the differences between the natural medicines.  Starting at aphorism 264 and 265 it is important for anyone dispensing a homeopathic medicine that making your own medicine is recommended in aphorism 265 where Hahnemann says: "Physicians should prepare their own medicines and personally give them to their patients." When making a homeopathic medicine we need to remember that as long as it is infinitesimal, homeopathically prescribed on the totality of symptoms, and is diluted, succussed, dynamized, triturated and potentized it is in fact a homeopathic remedy.  How exactly you get to that state and whether you use water, alcohol, dried materials, or fresh substances are different ways of getting to that dynamized nano-particle resonance medicine.

N70: Natural vs Synthetic

When looking at the difference in natural vs synthetic we can start by looking at what makes a human natural or synthetic, food natural or synthetic, natural or synthetic medicine.  Looking at artificial intelligence used in these realms is looking at synthetic and the impact it has on interrupting and interfering in natural processes.
I like to look at concentration vs dilution, mimicking nature vs man-made, and the human impact as well as the interaction with the substance and the human response.  These aspects need to be used as contexts for any discussion on natural vs synthetic.

N69:Colic in Babies and Children Helped by Homeopathy

There are many reasons why a baby has colic, but when looking at colic one should always be sure the baby or child is not suffering from anything that may mimic colic symptoms.  Once it is clearly colic there are amazing homeopathic remedies covered in this narrative to help the mother and child reach a peaceful coexistence. The colic can also be helped with baby carrying/babywearing, through having a lactation specialist make sure the milk supply is not coming down too fast or slow and making sure the breastfeeding mother is not eating gas-forming substances, and/or the formula chosen by the mother is not causing an allergic reaction.  Getting nutrition into the baby without taxing its digestion and causing blocked gas is paramount. Something as basic as a good winding of the baby will make a difference.  Remember there are many remedies, a colicky baby is not always a chamomilla baby.

N68: Matridonal Remedies and the Mother’s Gifts

Being human is about adhering as much as possible to how nature sets up our pregnancy, birth and breast-feeding.  Deviating form nature’s patterns that have are primal in our systems are causing damage to the essence of what it means to be human, how to communicate as a human, how to feel a self as a human and to be able to survive, thrive and be protected throughout our lives.  These remedies are amazing for problems such as the spectrum of autism, obsessive behaviours, anger, chaos vs calm, ADHD and developmental delays and disfunctions that cause us to lose our spark of humanity.

N67: A Conversation on Traumas at the Starting Line of Life and Homeopathy

Matridonal remedies are important in the development of the fetus and how it becomes fully ‘reincarnated’ as a fully functioning human with a fully functioning immune system.  Remedies such as vernix c. and Lac h help humans become themselves and feel protected, loved, and complete.  The books Inspiring Homeopathy and Matridonal Remedies and the Humanum Family have important insights into understanding the complexity of feeling fully human.  Allowing the first instincts of the baby, such as climbing up alone to attach to the teat, to be completed helps people complete and not yearn for things that accumulate as a deep greed that can never be fulfilled.  The traumas that happen at birth are related to these important remedies: placenta, lac h, lac m, umbilicus h., amniota h., and vernix caseosa which play roles that should not be messed with.  Messing up one process in the natural rhythm of birth is one thing but having many collects to become a complex problem and unhappy human babies.

N66: Germs, Viruses, Allergens, and Pathogens - A Dance of Life or An Attack

When looking at how our body heals itself we have decided on certain metaphors that are connected to our own perceptions and energy.  The most recent understanding of the immune system is one of us being under attack, with life being dangerous and we have to have ‘lines of defense’ as seen in the explanation of how phagocytes and white blood cells including B and T cells work to defend and transform to be ready for a new ‘attack’. How much more would we understand the engulfing and surrounding of phagocytes if we realized that we are actually taking part in the dance of life where we ‘hug’ and ‘learn’ from the codes that enter into us from our surrounding?  Or if each person were to look at the process and use their own energy system and pace of life expression to explain the main interactions we have when we are learning to adapt to our environment with Earth as the helper.

N65: Trauma and Homeopathy

Homeopathy is an amazing system of medicine to help a person overcome trauma.  Trauma can be experienced as deep as the DNA or the constitutional remedy that is running the individual at the time of the acute, or the constitutional remedy as source. Trauma is not one experience fits all, but rather a very specific experience for each individual depending on their own constitutions. The discussion on trauma is a very extensive one and we will be looking at trauma experienced from pregnancy, birth, grief and post war or conflict. When looking for remedies for difficulties on the mental emotional levels of existence, homeopathy is an excellent choice as it has much success on these levels.

N64: Babies and Homeopathy

This is the first time we begin looking at what is making babies sick today.  There is a rise in sudden deaths and in baby and childhood dis-eases.  Childrenshealthdefense.org is a great place to begin working through how to help babies stay healthy and thrive in today's world.  Using homeopathy helps the baby develop when breastfeeding is not possible.  If there are breastfeeding problems or it is stopped before the immune system kicks in at age 5 or 6 then homeopathic remedies are needed sometimes to ensure the different parts of the growth systems are working well together. Sometimes traumas have impacts that need to be addressed while the baby is still young and before childhood.  Two books written that I use frequently will be shared with you.  Didier is a medical doctor and his advice is priceless.  He has a very deep understanding of what happens between the mother and child during and after the baby is born. His book stands out from the crowd. Farokh also has a deep understanding of children and babies as well.
There are two books I would recommend for this topic:
Grandgeorge, D. The Homeopathy Handbook for Children, Acutes and their Homeopathic Treatment, Narayana Publishers, 2012
Master, Farokh, J. Clinical Observations of Children’s Remedies, Third Expanded Edition, Lutra, 2006

N63: Rubrics in Homeopathy

Rubrics are the basis of choosing a remedy.  A rubric in homeopathy is a name we give to symptoms that are expressed by the person needing the remedy.  We use repertories and Materia Medica to list the rubrics and the remedies.  The remedy pictures of animal, mineral and plant remedies are in a Materia Medica, while the specific rubrics and the remedies that have the rubrics are in a Repertory.  There are paper versions and software programs that give you these, and I suggest always having at least one of each in paper format.
