I think the best part of being a homeopath is to hear people's "other song". Let me explain. As I told my patients and students numerous time, part of us is Divine (we're hoping 100% of the time we're connected to that part!) and part of us, the Other Song, is less. Some people get easily angry, others are more messy, some are often sad, everybody has their "other song". When we look for a remedy (doesn't matter what the official diagnosis is), we want to address the other part of us, the unbalanced part, the one that prevents us from doing our Avodat Hashem.  Hahnemann said (the founder of homeopathy)  that a healthy state is when the "reasoning spirit who inhabits the organism can freely use this healthy instrument to reach the lofty goal of human existence" (from his book The Organon of Medicine ). We're born with this "less divine" part of us, and the job of the homeopath is to hear, identify and treat the other song so t

 The past 2 classes in Homeopathy during Pregnancy and Birth, we learned about constipation, diarrhea and urinary troubles. Sounds very delicate, doesn't it? Let us look at the options homeopathy gives us in order to clear these troubles safely and swiftly.  Constipation and Diarrhea As with every health trouble, in order to find the right remedy we need more than the official "diagnosis". To tell your homeopath you have Diarrhea is not going to help one bit, he (or she in my case) needs to know what type  of diarrhea or what type of constipation are we are dealing with : - soft stool passed with great straining - Alumina - large, hard dry stools as if burnt - Bryonia - large round balls stuck together with slimy mucus - Graphites - constipation caused by iron pills - Ferrum met. - irregular, dry, crumbling stools - Natrum mur. - feeling of something "left behind" - Nux vomica - bashful stools: starts out and get back - Silica As you can see, there are many type

 I recently got two inquiries about gestational diabetes (i.e. while pregnant) in the same week. I took it as a clue to investigate the matter further and see how homeopathy can help.  Gestational Diabetes There are different types of diabetes, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, while type 2 diabetes results from insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and often goes away after delivery. Common symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, frequent urination, constant hunger, fatigue, frequent infections, slow-healing sores, and unintentional weight loss. Long-term complications of diabetes can include vision problems, nerve damage, kidney problems, heart disease and circulation problems. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It is usually diagnosed between the

 I've been told to use her business counsellor in order to help my practice gain some speed. I don't regret this decision. Not only did I improve my income, without compromise on the quality of my homeopathic services, but also it helped with my children's education. Here's how. In our generation (in truth it's been like that for a few hundred years now), children, even small children, think of themselves as small adults. Hard to educate somebody who thinks he knows it all already, parents look like tyrants trying to guide their children in the right path. Children close themselves off chas v sha-lom and then who knows which road they'll take? So this great rebbe, Kolomynus Shapira, told the parents in his book on education, how to approach the child. Tell the child he's the boss, he's the one deciding about his life. You, as a parent, you're there to guide him, give him advice as per needed, not to impose anything on him. That's where my yoetzet
