Do I exist? The Alumina Remedy Portrait

Alumina

Portrait of a Homeopathic Remedy

Alumina likes to be in control in relationships. She’s fastidious and usually does things as perfectly as she can.

She often compensates for weak sense of self by being ambitious, obstinate, headstrong and quarrelsome.

QUIET

Alumina is a timid, mild mannered, quiet person, with a tendency to be serious, absent minded and somewhat spaced out.

Because she has a weak sense of self, she needs a lot of recognition, support and respect from others.

Therefore, relationships are very important to her, but unfortunately, her relationships are often as undefined as her personal sense of self.

Her identity becomes so weak that she often doesn’t even know if she exists.

She may develop a sense of duality, or a sense that everything is unreal, as if in a dream.

At times, her mind can become so dull and sluggish that it makes any kind of thinking and comprehension almost impossible and she may not even remember what words to use, or what she was about to say.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Alumina needs a lot of encouragement and support from the people around her, even if she doesn’t usually ask for it.

The worst thing people can do is to ignore her because, when they do, she starts feeling invisible again.

Alumina is happy in relationships as long as her mate or friends pay attention to her.

It is also important that nobody criticizes her, or puts her down, because that will trigger her confusion and further weaken her sense of self.

The situation that goes with the Alumina picture is one of being totally ignored, and she can only reverse that sensation if people really pay attention to her and give her lots of love, support and encouragement.

Diatomaceous Earth - DE - Friend or Foe?

There's a very popular topic around here should you need a subject of conversation - that's worms, yes, of the intestinal kind (not the intellectual kind. I used to be a book worm, I guess I still am in a way). Worms? Because they infect so many people so fast, it's important to find an alternative to the current medical solution which is basically poison to the body. For months I prayed to find one so we could get rid of these parasites, visiting my children's rectum every night (sorry for the visual). I tried a soup recipe with all the types of food supposed to get rid of worms. Even homeopathy doesn't kill the parasites. Vermox, the medical option, works sometimes and sometimes not, but who knows what damage it does while it travels the body. One day, I come across this post on hpathy.com, one of my favorite homeopathy reference website: "Stumbled upon this post, but I want to let anyone know who feels hopeless about parasites, especially worms. Food Gr...

Pellet of Mussar: The Other Song

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...

Working With Other Modes of Healing

Homeopathy is compatible with all the other modes of healing out there and I have learned not to be dogmatically for, or against, any therapy (even pharmaceuticals). In our culture, we often need to learn to do less, and in homeopathy, less is more. Once you get in touch with your own inner healer you can customize your healing approach and cut out unnecessary interventions. Excessive biomedical and pharmaceutical treatments will gradually drain the vital force and slow down the homeopathic, vitalistic, source of healing. A lot of people treated with a mainstream medical approach have been on various types of pharmaceuticals and it's possible that you or your child is currently taking antibiotics, steroids, stimulants, etc. While some homeopaths will say that remedies will not work while a child is taking pharmaceuticals, if a patient is dedicated to weaning himself or his child off of them under the guidance of a healthcare professional, I will still begin homeo...
