Parents Homeopathic Profiles

Yes I treat mainly children, but when the mothers hop on the healing train, results are much more impressive!

Thanks to my good "colleague" and teacher, Angelica Lemke, for these portraits of parents' remedies from her book Healing Complex Children With Homeopathy available on Amazon.

Sepia

Hormonally stagnant people (mostly women, sometimes men) who are resentful towards their family to the point of being mean and or wanting to escape. Post partum depression. Emotionally flat, heavy and exhausted. Feels better with movement, being industrius/busy, exercising and checking things off their to-do lists. Helps women come back into an emotionally/hormonally free flowing place where there is joy in connecting with the family.

Pulsatilla

Nice sweet women (and sometimes men) with soft, emotional eyes who weep easily and need approval. They give love to receive love. Lots of hormonal issues - can easily be hormonally stagnant (irregular periods) and do better with exercise and fresh air. Helps people-pleasers not to care as much about what people think, exert their sense of self, and have a better will-power.

Staphysagria

Repressed anger, resentment towards spouse. Indignation. Angry, easily embarassed. Nervous about what others think of them. Urinary tract infections and styes. Worse from any procedure done to them. Helps women stand up for themselves and not be oversensitive to what other people say or do to them.

Nat-mur

Emotionally closed and distant parents, cool and aloof, not easily connecting. They likely didn't have a close relationship with their own parents or experienced a deep sadness at some point in life. They harbor feelings of depression or grief but find it difficult to cry. Helps parents be more emotionally open and connecting and more naturally joyful.

Lycopodium

Critical parents who are in their heads, who read and research a lot, who are sensitive in their careers and always critical of their spouses (sometimes they have issues with commitment), but they are nice to everyone outside the home. Gassy, liver, stagnation, poor digestion, furrowed brow. Helps parents who are overly mental be more in the present moment.

Silica

Mild-mannered people who are averse to conflict and want everyone in the family to be happy. They work hard at keeping the home balanced/harmonious and care a lot about how the family is perceived. Will be kind to everyone but are occasionally stubborn/rigid about their opinions. May be petite with a small appetite and may have unhealthy skin or nails.

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...
