Homeopathic Narratives: How Nature Heals

N75: Mental State and Homeopathy

Homeopathy is about how we look at mental states, not mental health.  When looking at sadness, despair and melancholy the repertory will provide remedies that have sadness as part of their picture.  Almost anyone will be sad at least once in their life, so the list is too long to be helpful if mind; sadness is the only rubric.  We need to find out the causation, the exact experience, sad as if..., and any concomitants. The body’s immune system as seen in the automatic or autonomic part of the brain looks after our health and we look for ways to find remedies that will help our mental state remain in a coped-up state and not experience sadness, melancholic and despair for such a period of time as to get to a depressive state of mind.  The DSM is not part of homeopathy and as a result is not part of the homeopathic discussion.  Homeopathic remedies impact every level of experience and cover the totality of symptoms.  This narrative is to better understand how homeopathy and natural medicines over the centuries have looked at our mental state.

N74: Potentizing Homeopathic Medicines

Potentization or dynamization is how homeopathic remedies are made when they are soluble substances.  The remedy is made in water and alcohol and then succussed into C or X potencies.  Although the ration of 1:100 and 1:10 needs to maintained at all times during the process, it is the ration that is important.  If you make your own potency, you will see that Hahnemann and other homeopaths have changed how they make their remedies, using 1:6 or 1:8  and so forth.  Perception plays a big role, but I believe that as long as you succuss the remedy and keep diluting it in a constant fashion it will make a homeopathic remedy.

N73: Triturating is both a Proving and a Preparation of Homeopathic Medicines

Triturating a remedy can be a proving as well as just the preparation of a remedy that is not soluble in water.  You can also triturate remedies that are soluble in water and would be better done in a trituration form such as spices, but when you do it with the powder, the powder once in a C format has an impact on the person doing the triturating because the powder becomes airborne. Remember that you are only using a gram of the substance to 33 grams of the lactose [milk sugar].  For each round or C1 use 100 gr with it split up in 3 turns of 33gr to a grind of 7 min, a scrape of 3 min, then another ground and scrape of the same duration. Then keep only one part or one gr of the C1, put the rest of the C1 in a bottle or paper envelope marked C1.  Start the C2 (round 2)  with a gr or one part of the C1 substance that was left in the mortar. Remember you are dynamizing, potentization is the same as making the trituration, but with liquid. Once you have done trituration you are ready to use that substance to potentize because it is now in the C3, C4 or C5 soluble in water state. Making a homeopathic remedy is an amazing way to learn the power and ability of dynamized remedies to activate the human levels of life, health and existence. Homeopathic provings should be done only on healthy individuals, people who can distinguish between their own symptoms and those they have not experienced before.  Keeping a timing sheet will help keep you level headed as to the procedure of making the remedy through its steps of trituration.

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.
