Homeopathic Narratives: How Nature Heals

N80: The Homeopathic Follow Up and its Challenges for the Patient

The follow up appointment for a deep constitutional remedy can be a challenge for both the homeopath and the patient.  The patient is facing things they may never have experienced before and their conscious mind is all about fear and it is driven by a miasmatic state that drives the pace of experience.  The homeopath needs the information from the scanning that happens after taking a good constitutional remedy, and the patients is now in need of explaining themselves using a part of the brain that wants to be liked and often will lie and make up stories as well as deny what is being experienced, and this happens for a variety of reasons.  The most important thing to remember when giving your homeopath feedback during a follow up is that you are there to make sure that this remedy is a good fit and that any return of old symptoms and improvements in other areas is a sign of this.  The patient may sometimes need support after the scanning because it happens in all realms of existence: physical, mental, emotional, dream world, energy and life’s purpose.  As the patient you are experiencing all this while remembering that fever, inflammation and pain during this scanning is the body’s way of expressing a mistunement that happened and was not corrected efficiently.  Antidoting a remedy when this happens will not help provide the needed information during the follow up.  Your account is the only one the homeopath can use to know how you are doing on the remedy, and what the remedy is doing for you.

N79: Stress and the Role Homeopathy Plays

Stress is something that homeopathically we know is mainly internal.  It is the discussion our conscious mind has with itself when the perception of the automatic brain is feeding it a story of its own. There are different reasons for stress, and these reasons, such as difficult demands, lack of support, not enough control etc, are covered homeopathically by the rare and peculiar that each remedy, family and kingdom of remedies have that impact our perception. By getting a good constitutional, stress is the first thing to go.

N78: Homeopathy and the Mind-Body Connection in Mental Dis-ease

When looking at mental dis-ease and the mind-body relationship there are multiple factors to take into account and you cannot go with the old way of looking at the mind.  We need to see the conscious mind as not conscious of what is happening and is in fact the reason we cannot just be healthy by drinking the water around us from its natural source.  The conscious part blocks and by doing that creates fear and that is the place where compensations happen and corrupted circuits that finally bring us to a dis-ease in the system.  Miasms are dis-eases that impact our responses through the DNA which is on the ‘instinctive’ level.  Then our life-time with our perception can bring us to compensations which are well addressed in Sankaran’s Schema.  There are the mineral desires to live up to their ‘potential’ and the animal remedies that need to live in specific groupings to allow their system to feel at ease.  These multiple factors need to be taken into account when understanding proving symptoms and which are about the remedy being proved and not the prover’s dis-ease.  The mind rubrics are excellent as a starting point, but they are separating the body mind relationship on the deeper level which needs to be looked at more as a combination that finally creates the mistunement of the system.

N77: Homeopathy and Chemical Imbalances in the Brain

As far as life is concerned, all dis-ease is a result of psychosomatic experiences.  The narrative on the brain is very different when looking at the experience and the homeopathic response in remedies.  We are using many chemicals and as a result the chemical we ingest as drugs or food will eventually take over our health system as a corrupted circuit or as something that our parents consumed at or around conception.  Remedies from plant families like the Rubiaceae family which is quinine and coffee is a good place to start when trying to understand how our bodies will use drug like substances to activate joy and other happy experiences and then because of the chemical imbalance of this substance will leave us fatigued and unable to experience anything but boredom.  The chemical imbalance is one that is part of the mental state of the totality of symptoms of certain remedy families.

N76: Anger and Anxiety with Homeopathy

Homeopathy is an amazing natural medicine that works with all the symptoms of the body to find a remedy that answers to all the ailments as seen in the symptoms of the patient.  When looking for a good remedy for anger and anxiety it is important to see the body as one whole with the ‘mind’ is many places, including the neurological system, the head, mind and so forth.  There are physical actions happening in the head even if the experience is seen as a psychological one.  The remedy must cover the mental state if it is the chief complaint. Taking the patient's miasmatic state into account will also lead you towards the disposition in which this anger and anxiety is being expressed.  The acute miasm may seen it as a panic attack, the panic being an acute word often indicating this miasm.  Typhoid see this as a 'crisis' and malaria miasm as 'periodically every 3 months (for example).  The syphillitic individual will express complete despair and sycosis and are therefore in more danger of having an episode that will need supervision by a health nurse at an emergency facility.  Remember, you can always give the remedy, if you see it clearly, on the way to the emergency ward. In all cases and where possible, when choosing a remedy a full case taking is needed; despite this, there are some first aid remedies for anger and anxiety that can be a first aid until a deeper remedy can be found, or as a start for those who are the center of their community’s health.

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.
