Teaching the Art & Science of Homeopathy Since 1990

This coming year we launch our 30th anniversary of NESH! In old fashioned tradition, the gift given at this milestone is the pearl—an enduring gem with qualities of timelessness. When we reflect back at our vision for teaching homeopathy over these last three decades we love that in your hands our work is enduring and stands the test of time. Using information gleaned from our work with patients, while creating an internally consistent and practice-based philosophy has always been our goal. We appreciate all our colleagues, patients, and students who continue to push our own understanding of this beautiful, effective medicine so that we can better perceive, articulate, and teach this body of work.

In this issue, as a
materia medica
nibble, Paul would like to share some thoughts on the often-overlooked remedy,
Dulcamara
. Enjoy!
And as the summer slips away into the glorious New England fall, we send wishes for good health, good work, and time to enjoy it all.

The
Materia Medica
of
Solanum Duclamara
by Paul Herscu ND, MPH
|
I have come to believe that disease, as Hahnemann described it, on the energetic level, has a certain perfection to it. As such, I think that one could describe any remedy by describing the perfect energetic flow of it. For instance, we can take
Dulcamara
as an illustration.
On the energetic level,
Dulcamara
can be described as
a proactive and excess remedy; they are aggravated if acted upon and ameliorated if they act upon the environment.
This sentence can explain all the symptoms of the remedy. For example, it explains why there is found in this remedy the following discrepancy. It seems on first reading that
Dulcamara
is aggravated by all change. However, in arthritis, the remedy is ameliorated by motion and change. So really, they are not aggravated by change itself, rather by change that comes from the outside, as change exerted
on
them. In contrast, they may be ameliorated by any change that they themselves can cause. Progressing symptom by symptom, one can then explain the remedy. But more than that, understand the reasons why particular symptoms arise in the first place.

LOOKING FOR GIFT IDEAS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON?

Once again you can purchase homeopathic remedy kits available to our NESH community at discounted prices! NESH does not benefit financially from these sales, but for those who'd like to add a compact kit to your pharmacy, these are an excellent value.
This year, for the first time, the annual sale will also feature discounted half dram vial remedy refills. This is a chance to look over your kits to determine what vials needs replacing or order extras of remedies like
Arnica
& others to have on hand when needed. There may also be some remedies not included in your kits which you could buy individually to round out your pharmacy.
