| This month, Homeopathy 4 Everyone begins a new section called TIPS and SECRETS. We invite you to send in your favorite Tips and Secrets on homeopathy. We will publish a select group each month, acknowledging the sender. They may be based on your own experience or taken from homeopathic literature. Please identify the source of your information and your name and country. Remember, a tip is not the whole iceberg! Use these tips as part of a complete case taking. Remember to select remedies on the totality of symptoms available. ISOPATHY -The hair of the dog Isopathy - Treating disease with the substance that caused the disease. If people have a fixed idea against isopathy, they're going to fail in a lot of cases, especially acute cases, where the causal agent is known. I had a client whose chief complaint was horrible itching. We narrowed it down to her prescription of Welbutrin, an antidepressant. She had stopped taking it but the itching continued. She told me that people had dropped out of the Welbutrin trials in droves because of the itching! I start taking her case, but it didn't add up to any remedy, that was what made me realize that her remedy was, in fact, potentized Welbutrin! I made a powder out of a Welbutrin tablet, I poured it into a small amount of water, swished it around , then added it to half a small bottle of spring water, succussed 40 times, poured it out, refilled to the starting point and succussed 40 times, and repeated this proceedure 12 times, then I told her to take a sip. She only took the one dose. The next day she told me the itching was tolerable and she didn't have to scratch. A day later, it was gone! So, people, when you know the cause, and the case-taking doesn't add up to a remedy, make a remedy from the causal agent. And that's my tip for the day. *Thanks to: Elaine Lewis U.S.A.
A Burning Question Large vesicles that burn on touch? : Cantharis Ulcerative pain touched, when : Canth. Under Skin page 1333. Kent's repertory.

Beware the Camphor Mother! Camphor, mother tincture should be stored separately, away from your homeopathic remedies. Neatness Counts Confirm your choice of remedy with physical evidence. A patient has numerous Arsenicum symptoms, but you want more evidence. In spite of being ill, his house is very neat with everything in place. When you compliment him, he apologizes for his house "being such a mess".This is evidence too! *Thanks to: Carol Franske
Winning by a Nose If you don't want to give a remedy by mouth, the inside of the nose works fine and may even give faster results. Moisten a q-tip with a water potency or have the patient dip a finger in the water potency and touch the septum inside the nose. Re-using Dropper Bottles After rinsing them out, instead of boiling, try steaming them with a vegetable steamer. The droppers don?t get thrown about they way they do in boiling water.
Incompatible Remedies - Just like people Before administering or taking a remedy, check to see if it is compatible with the last one used. Incompatible remedies are those which, if used directly before or after each other, can greatly aggravate the symptoms or confuse the case. Incompatible remedies may follow each other if:
Icompatibles are often remedies whose symptoms pictures are very close, such as Causticum and Phosphorus, Apis and Rhus tox and Silicea and Mercurius. At the end of these Tips and Secrets is a list of incompatible remedies. It is from: A Clinical Repertory to the Materia Medica by Dr. J.H. Clarke. Thanks to: Alan V. Schmukler U.S.A.
David and Goliath When, using very clear and sure homeopathic symptoms, the repertorisation of your case puts a 'small remedy' (you may not know very well) in competition with a polychrest, it is likely that the small remedy will be very homeopathic for the patient. It is like choosing David over Goliath. Thanks to : Edward DeBeukelaer UK Are You Too Sensitive to Remedies ? Hypersensitivity and idiosyncrasy are two commonly encountered clinical phenomena. Hypersensitivity usually refers to acquired hypersensitivity of the vital force due to external factors like remedy abuse, overexposure to energy treatments, suppressive allopathic treatment, excessive acupuncture, mood enhancing drugs, etc. Idiosyncracy refers to an innate sensitivity of the vital force ($117). Hahnemann's 6th edition Organon suggests that liquid potencies and cup dilutions for c potencies are a good way to deal with sensitivity to remedies. Over time, I have found that there are three requirements
to avoid hypersensitive reactions to C potencies and hence some
unconventional tips: Thanks to: Dr. Leela D'Souza, India
