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. Send your tips to us at [email protected]
Remember, a tip is not the whole iceberg! Use these tips as part of a totality of symptoms. Let them inspire further research. Using specifics (“take this for that”) in isolation may prove disappointing and can lead to suppression.
These are the tips of our readers and do not necessarily express the views of Hpathy.com or ‘Homeopathy for Everyone’.
Bizarre Symptomatology
A patient exhibiting bizarre symptomatology which doesn’t fit any single remedy, indicates the morbid type of susceptibility – a result of abuse from indiscriminate prescribing ( homeopathic or allopathic). Experience indicates that Nux vomica will create a semblance of order out of this chaos.

Some Aspects of Psora
Psora spends its action largely upon the nervous system. The greatest force to rouse the evils of the psoric dyscrasia is grief or sorrow. Psoric patients are mentally alert and easily fatigued. They dread to undertake any exertion. They fear their health will fail, that they will be incurable, or that they will be dependent. Psoric manifestations are ameliorated by the elmiminative functions of diarrhea, perspiration or urination.

A Burn Miracle
A young woman was severely burnt all down one side of her neck and body. She was operated on for three hours . She held her own for four days but on the fifth, she began to slip.

Succussion
Today much succussion is carried out by machine. But even with this mechanical aid, it may take 10 – 12 weeks to prepare the highest potencies. The machines need careful regulation and frequent maintenance to ensure that succussion is standardized.
Homeopathy – The Illustrated Guide -Sarah Richardson
Not Enough Symptoms?
In the diseases that seem less amenable to cure because of an apparent paucity of symptoms, one or two symptoms predominate, obscuring almost all the others. We call them defective diseases. To bring order to such cases, ….one chooses the medicine that is , as far as one can tell, the most homeopathically suitable. …Symptoms that shortly before the patient did not perceive, will reveal themselves…..Thus the imperfect choice of a remedy…serves to complete the symptom content of the disease and facilitates the choice of a second, more homemopathic medicine.
Samuel Hahnemann – Organon of Medicine – Thanks to H. Dalgaard – Denmark
Hurry to Live
At times the young Tuberculinum presses against the limits of his strength and abilities, as if sensing or fearing an early demise… Consequently there may be a general acceleration of the life process , and heightening of its intensity as Tulberculinun “hurries to live and hastens to feel” before being overtaken…..
