Abstract:
The homeopathic method requires specific individualisation
for each client by recording mental, emotional and
physical symptoms forming their timeline of symptoms.
Similia similibus curentur - what a substance can cause can
also cure.
Nettles are an example of this. A skin problem which feels like
nettle stings could probably be helped by the remedy made
from nettles. After giving the chosen remedy careful thought
needs to be given to the change of symptoms. The objective is
to observe what changes in the case. We can use up to 3,500
remedies in the 21st century. Research is taking place all the
time - some double-blind trial (DBT and some qualitative
research). Deep observation is necessary to observe the vital
force or life force of the client. Given the opportunity every
client will express what their feelings are - not just surface
feelings but those deep within them affecting their wellbeing
and attitudes to life which guard their most central feelings.
The homeopath observes these feelings and must not create
their own interpretation of them. I will expand on individual
cases - 1) Russian + dreadful arthritis: 2) re Lenningrad case+
stopped speaking for 10 years and used dance to express
herself: 3) Wartime memories and fire.
To observe relevant information about client needs we need
to listen to all mental, emotional and physical symptoms
without altering their ideas to what we think we observe.
The observer (the prescriber) needs to be meticulous about
recording the observation as the client expresses it without
amending the direction or description of those symptoms.
Individualisation is very specific and accurate recording of
these is essential to tracking movement of symptoms for the
client. Is the client sleeping better? Had bowel and urinary
function altered in any way? Is client looking better - feeling
better in themselves? The most useful symptom to be told
you may well be "I feel more like my old self even though the
complaints remain the same as before. I feel lighter etc. You
have started some positive change.
All of this may well reveal where the stuckness is in the client's
life. Is the 75-year-old woman still repetitively complaining
about what her mother said when she was four? Stuckness
- reveals itself in many ways, then you may also receive a
specific instance when the client felt the deep symptom that
is worrying them. This method is true holistic case-taking
using the medicine of similars not opposites. This allows
thought to be given to the timeline of the client and the cause
of the disruption in their health. The work of this charity will
initially be FREE to all users.
