In homeopathy, we don’t talk about disease. We talk about “dis-ease”. The body is not in a state of ease. Disease is the end product of “dis-ease”. So what exactly is “dis-ease” and what is health? Dis-ease does not merely...

This is probably in Food Rules, a book I mentioned a couple days ago–it is hard to remember that many rules. But I happened to be aware of this long before I read that book. Basically, the color of the food we eat determines the nutrients in the food. So, the...

As I sat next to a stranger on the airplane on the way home from Florida, we discussed occupations. When he found out I am a homeopath, he immediately started talking about food and supplements. After clarifying what homeopathy is and that it isn’t...

Recently I saw that there is a publication entitled something like Diabetes Lifestyle magazine. I am assuming this is directed at those who have developed this awful disease by eating the Western Diet, in other words, Type 2 diabetes. The western diet, and all that...

The vacation is over, as is the poor internet connections, which prevented me from posting as often as I had planned. On the way home, my sons, 12 and 15, got to sit together in the very back row of the plane. My husband and I were split apart. My kids got to sit...

I do not make it a habit of wearing new shoes on vacation. This trip is no exception. I brought along a pair of yoga sandals (instead of just a strap between the big toe and the second toe, there is a tab between each toe). I have had these sandals for years. So I...

As I was walking along the beach this morning, I thought of two remedies that would be important to have along on your vacation, especially if you are going to play on the beach or go barefoot. Staphysagria is first. It is normally thought of as a constitutional...

People ask all the time what remedies they should bring along on a trip. Obviously, it depends on the time of year, where you are traveling, what you are doing, etc. The first thing I recommend is that you buy a remedy kit for traveling. This may or may not be the...

One of the worst things about travel is the Jet Lag that accompanies that. One of the best remedies for jet lag is Cocculus indicus. I have seen it work first hand for my husband who travels a lot for work and for my son. Two years ago the family went on a vacation...

This is the week for Homeopathy and Traveling, so I thought I would start with a look back in the history of homeopathy and discuss Malaria. Fortunately, in the US, we don’t have this problem anymore. But if you travel abroad, you may find yourself in a...

Everyone knows the story of an elderly relative whose arthritis acts up when rain is coming. But largely, Western Medicine ignores weather as a factor in either health or illness. In homeopathy, it is different. We are just moving out of what has been a fabulous...

Yesterday I wrote my post and forgot to push the Publish button, so I didn’t get it published. OOPS! But I did write it yesterday, I promise. Heat Stroke and Heat Exhaustion can quickly become medical emergencies if not tended to quickly. The problem is that...

Earlier this week I discussed some Natural Health viewpoints of western medicine. The view of Emergency Medicine is different. Most Natural Health providers find ER doctors and nurses to be amazing life savers. It takes a certain type of person to work in an...
by lotus_admin | Oct 12, 2011 | Classical Homeopathy, Homeopathy
It is perhaps one of the hardest notions for many people to accept—that homeopathy can heal with just one remedy at a time. That is what Classical Homeopathy is–one remedy at a time. Complex Homeopathy focuses on low potencies of multiple remedies at one...

TV’s Monk, the endearing, intelligent, undefeated television detective with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder could sure benefit from a good homeopathic remedy. My kids think I spoil the show every time I say what remedy I think he needs. So I finally decided to...
