How Homoeopathy Works
When no symptoms are felt then there is good health. Life goes on normally in good health with no consciousness of the existence of our organs.
Often symptoms and discomfort are a healthy warning sign that things are out of balance and that we need to give our bodies attention and the right treatments until all is flowing smoothly in each part of the whole body. Sometimes medical scans do not show any abnormality in the build up to a serious illness that might be life threatening.
Homeopathic treatment comes in here in beautiful timing to analyse symptoms felt by the patient so that good health can be restored as gently and rapidly as possible.
Case Study
Take for example 12 year old Jack who has low grade fever, especially at night. Nausea, vomiting and abdominal pains on and off for 2 weeks. At this point medical tests show that his digestive system looks well. He has functional symptoms with no pathology. Some medication is given to ease nausea and vomiting and to cope with the pain. However the symptoms always come back.
All in all from his symptoms it looks like appendicitis- however it may not be.
There is usually a slow pre-state and build up to any illness. His symptoms are blessing as they give the homeopath certain clues as to which remedy will put Jacks whole body back to functioning normally.
Answers to questions will point to the right treatment. Questions such as:
Is your pain better for pressure and which position is most comfortable for you?
Are you more thirsty than usual ? Is this for hot or cold drinks?
Do you perspire when you fever comes on? Whereabouts exactly? Back or tummy? Do you get chills with this fever?
Are you calm during the pain, how is your pain threshold? (answered by the observing parents)
Once all relevant symptoms have been recorded and used the most perfect remedy will be chosen to correct the imbalance and restore each organ involved to rally the body back to its normal healthy function.
In summation the whole body functions well when all parts function well together.
Certainly the soul is happier and in balance when the body is in balance.
In his book ‘The Hidden life of Trees’ Peter Wohlleben says when talking about a natural forest
“The regeneration of whole depends on the essential co-operation between all living parts of that whole”
In his introduction in the book (page X1) he notes the death, and decades later the rebirth and life of the natural forest in Yellow Stone National Park in USA.
The rapid death of the forest occurred when all the wolves were hunted down and then reintroduced in later year once it was realised that they held the key to the health of the ecosystem in the forest.
Every part of a healthy living breathing system on earth, be it in the ocean, on earth or in the air and inside living creatures walking on the earth depends on the healthy interaction of all their parts.
Imagine the times you feel your best—nothing is hard and energy levels are good!
Now remember how your body felt when you have over indulged in too much food or alcohol. Out of Balance!
Thankfully our bodies tell us when there is imbalance.
I note in practice that children are quite often emotionally not well a few days before a physical illness comes on When did the illness start? Maybe a day or so before mental emotional imbalance was noted.
Homeopathy works a lot with the CAUSATION of illness. And that is connected with stress experience.
Such as LOSS SHOCK GRIEF INJURY EXPOSURE to environmental hazards
Until next time I hope this creates interest and more questions in your mind.
Yours in Good health,
