The most common question I get asked as a homeopath is, “I can’t sleep during the night? Can you recommend a remedy for me?” or “I have irregular periods, what should I take?”
Sometimes it is quite simple to tell which remedy is needed. For example if somebody tells me, they fell, got hurt and got bruises, I can confidently prescribe Arnica for minor bruises. Or Aconite for when a mom calls to ask for a remedy for her child who is having a sore throat immediately after a walk and had been exposed to dry, chilly winds, but majority of the time it is not that simple. Before prescribing a remedy it is prudent to look into a few important factors like:
What condition do you have?
Which organs are affected?
What are your symptoms?
What is making your condition better or worse?
What is your mental state? Are you stressed?
How is your sleep?
Beside this current problem, are you also dealing with some other condition?
Homeopathic consultation is not as easy as 123...it takes a lot into consideration. There is no specific remedy for a condition. You are unique, so are your symptoms. Like you are not a replica of another human being so how can your symptoms be? It takes a thorough investigation of your current symptoms, your life experiences, your behaviours in particular situations, your peculiar and characteristic signs, and more to individualize you from the others suffering from the similar condition. Let us take an example: Suppose you are down with fever and have a severe sore throat and your friend is also having a fever and sore throat. Would both of you need the same remedy? No, because you two may be suffering from same condition but both of you will present different symptoms. You could want to be covered during fever and your throat might feel better by drinking warm liquids. On the contrary your friend could feel better by walking in the open air and have no thirst at all. You see how the little differences in the symptoms makes a big difference in remedy selection. It is really important to choose the correct remedy as the purpose is not to just clear the unpleasant sight of the weeds but to dig deeper to uproot the very cause of the condition.
