True healing (with homeopathy)
Let’s talk about healing. Conventional medicine uses the Law of Opposites (think of cholesterol lowering medication for high cholesterol) whereas homeopathy uses the Law of Similars (think of using coffee in a homeopathic preparation for sleep issues).
Homeopathy isn’t like conventional medicine - it doesn’t suppress symptoms. It doesn’t ‘fix’ specific body systems. It doesn’t try to ‘stop’ something. (Although those medicines/practices can be life saving and very necessary in acute medical situations). Homeopathy goes much deeper than that - it focuses on you - on the totality of your symptoms, as well as your family history.
With that in mind, true homeopathic healing isn’t straight forward. Healing is often not comfortable. Symptoms don’t just disappear. It’s possible that there are setbacks and flare-ups when you take your homeopathic medicine(s) and that is actually a positive sign of your vital force recalibrating.
When you take a homeopathic medicine it can be normal to expect the return of old symptoms, which may be childhood eczema that flares up or hayfever you haven’t had in ten years seems to appear out of nowhere. This is based on “Hering’s Law of Cure”; a direction of healing proceeds in the body in four universal ways:
From above downwards
From inwards outwards
Symptoms disappear in reverse order of which they appeared
From the most to least important organs, and from the centre to the periphery
The body considers the skin as the least important organ, which is why it is often the last to heal.
What can you expect when you take your homeopathic remedy? Expect to see any number of shifts - they could be small, subtle, quite noticeable or bam-in-your-face signs and symptoms that your body is truly healing - it’ll bring it to the surface - physically and emotionally. For example, you may experience vivid dreams, memory flashbacks, swollen glands, headaches, rash outbreak, return of old symptoms - flare-ups of previous health issues like childhood eczema etc., menstrual cycle changes such as shorter/longer cycles and increase in cervical mucous, and so on. These are nearly always a positive sign that you’re unblocking past health trauma and clearing genetic predispositions/generational trauma. This is a sign to keep going and keep communicating/working with your homeopath, so you can be supported.
If you have any concerns or questions, please speak to your homeopath or health practitioner.
