Many of us are old enough to remember the time when doctors made house calls – a time when our doctor was like a family friend. There seemed to be a more “homey” feeling to medicine back in those days. Doctors had time for us and they knew us well enough to understand our individual needs.

HOMEOPATHY, THE ART OF HEALINGHomeopathy is the essence of the art of healing. When homeopathy is well practiced, it is the medicine of choice to recover one’s health from the great majority of acute and chronic problems.Homeopathy is a scientific method of treatment that is based on the application of the law of similars. For thousands of years, man searched for a method to promote healing which is efficient, gentle and permanent. Samuel Hahnemann, a German physician who lived between 1755-1843, pursued this philosophical and scientific quest by developing an ideal system of therapeutics which brought together a number of discoveries and reflections found throughout the history of medicine. After years of perfecting this therapeutic method, he called it homeopathy, by uniting two Greek roots, homoios meaning “similar,” and pathos meaning, “what one feels.” Homeopathy consists of treating sick people with remedies that, in crude doses, would produce in healthy people symptoms similar (homoios) to those of the disease needing to be overcome.

Homeopathy helps a “pain in the neck”
by Shura Avaloff

My neck is a problem for me because I have a mild scoliosis*—that is, my spine has an s-curve in it, something I may have inherited from my mother. It’s not noticeable as I go about my daily life, but because my spine isn’t perfectly straight (one part of the s-curve lies between my shoulder blades and the other at the vertebrae of the neck) some yoga poses are a challenge. If I don’t do shoulder stands correctly, for example, I overstretch my neck, which is incredibly painful. I tend to overdo everything in my life and this tendency extends to my yoga poses! So, unfortunately, I have strained my neck on countless occasions.

The pain in my neck from this strain is severe, and then terrible headaches begin within a day of the injury. My head hurts the worst first thing in the morning, and all the muscles of my back are so tense and shrunken that I feel like the creaking Tin Man of Oz. I guess it’s because I’ve been lying in one position during the night.

Getting into a long hot shower and doing very gentle neck rolls helps my neck and head temporarily. The pains are better when I keep my body moving, but gently so—nothing vigorous or harsh!

Stay safe and healthy with homeopathy
by Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, ND, DHANP, LCSW

I love yoga! I first began my yoga practice in 1971—thirty-seven years ago. I taught yoga briefly, but what I most enjoy is attending a great class with a knowledgeable, experienced instructor. Having been around the block with various styles of yoga, my current preference is Vinyasa or Flow Yoga. But there are so many different types of classes available, now that yoga has become a household word in the U.S., that you’re sure to find one to suit your own style.

In case you didn’t know, the word “yoga” comes from Sanskrit and means “union”—union of the body, mind, and spirit. The original yogis in India mastered yoga in order to gain control over their bodies, to enable them to sit still in meditation for prolonged periods. Many of the postures or asanas were derived from the yogis’ observations of animals moving naturally—hence, we have poses such as Cobra, Cat, Cow, Lion, Swan, Crow, Monkey, Fish, and even Firefly and Dead Bug (also known as Joyful Baby!). The health benefits of yoga include improvements in strength, flexibility, balance, breath control, blood pressure, and cardiovascular functioning; relief of stress, musculoskeletal pain, asthma, digestive concerns, and many other problems; and perhaps even rejuvenation and improved longevity.

Too much of a good thing

Now that yoga has become mainstream and big business, the increased number of classes and practitioners has been accompanied by a significant rise in the number of injuries. A Consumer Product Safety Commission report documents 3,700 yoga-related injuries treated in medical clinics and emergency rooms in 2004, and 5000 injuries in 2005, adding up to an expense of around 90 million dollars. The most common problems include repetitive stress injuries and overstretching of the neck, shoulders, back, knees, and legs resulting in muscle strain, torn ligaments, or, occasionally, more serious damage.

Approximately 85% of fitness centers in North America offered yoga classes in 2002. Although yoga instructors and schools are not formally regulated, the Yoga Alliance, formed in 1999 has set a minimum standard of 200 hours of training for instructors to attain certification. Nevertheless, in 2005 only about 16,000 of the 70,000 instructors in the U.S. were certified.

Injuries often occur when students push themselves too hard too quickly to do postures beyond their level of ability. Overzealous, under-skilled instructors who have little personal experience with the postures they are teaching can contribute to the problem. Particularly in health club environments, competition, though the antithesis of traditional yoga practice, may literally push students into positions for which their bodies are not prepared.

Injuries are especially likely when yoga practice is undertaken sporadically rather than on a regular basis. When I first began practicing yoga in my twenties, I mostly attended weekend yoga workshops and was able to soothe my aching muscles, laden undoubtedly with excess lactic acid, by taking an Epsom salt bath. But I’ll never forget one particular incident when a combination of sporadic yoga practice, my natural flexibility, and a long-time propensity to push myself beyond my limits led to an excruciating injury that required more than a simple Epsom salt bath.

Homeopathy has much to offer children with special needs
by Amy Rothenberg, ND, DHANP

The first time I treated a special needs child was during my second week of practice. Ten-year-old Michael was brought in by his mother, who had a long line of her other children in tow—five of them streaming into my office in stair-step formation. She carried Michael lovingly, caressing his head as she juggled the crew. I assumed she was holding him because he had fallen asleep en route; he seemed a bit big for being held like that, but I was not yet a mother and did not know the ropes!

As it turned out, Michael couldn’t walk. His mother explained that he had suffered a massive stroke in utero and was born with many problems, from epilepsy to hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) to mental retardation. Blind and deaf, he was nourished through a feeding tube, suffered from grand mal seizures, and was “filled to the gills” with mucus. He had an offensive smell to his skin and a vacant expression on his face. His mother wanted help with his seizures and the excessive mucus that sometimes interfered with his breathing.

As a young, relatively inexperienced practitioner, I was taken aback by the sheer number of Michael’s problems, the intensity of his symptoms, and the degree to which his life seemed to hold so little promise. But equally impressive to me was the burning love that Michael’s mother showered on him and how each of his younger siblings stepped forward at various times to coo at him or rub an arm or foot. His mom, a saint in any regard, was patient, strong, and single-minded: she wanted help for Michael and had heard I could offer it. She didn’t much care how I went about it—she just wanted the full treatment.

Some deep breaths…

I remember excusing myself, scurrying back to our break area, sitting down, and taking some deep breaths. Realistically, what could I expect to offer this young boy and his mother? How much could homeopathy and natural medicine help? Might the seizures decrease? Would the mucus diminish? Was there hope for improving Michael’s quality of life? The situation seemed overwhelming. But this mother’s clear request and her unwavering belief in my ability to help Michael gave me the impetus to get back in that room, take a thorough case history, and get down to work.

4th Joint Annual Conference - Bellevue, WA - March 27 - 29, 2009
by Amy L Lansky, PhD

Everyone is on a tighter budget these days. So where can you get the best homeopathic learning bang for your dwindling bucks? Look no further. The answer may well be the 4th Joint American Homeopathic Conference in Bellevue, Washington (Seattle area), March 27–29, 2009. Entitled Homeopathy Meets the Challenge of Raising Healthy Children, this year’s conference will focus on treating children, the core patient base of many practitioners and a prime concern of parents and grandparents drawn to homeopathy.

A great place to connect

Of course, the annual national conference has always been a great place to connect with other homeopaths and like-minded homeopathic consumers. Ever since it became a joint effort of the NCH and the leading practitioner organizations (American Institute of Homeopathy, Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians, North American Society of Homeopaths, and Homeopathic Nurses Association), the conference has also become the place for people to get a pulse on the state of homeopathy and to unite under a common umbrella.

A great place to learn

The joint conference committee has been listening closely to your feedback. We understand that maximizing homeopathic learning is your primary goal. To better fulfill this mission, this year’s speakers are all invited lecturers, known for their expertise in treating children. In addition, this year’s sessions will be longer, in order to provide more opportunity for in-depth learning.

It all begins on Friday, March 27, with a day-long seminar presented by much-admired lecturer and author, Luc De Schepper, MD, PhD. Dr. Luc’s Family Dynamis and Remedy Relationships seminar will weave an intriguing web, linking the energetic structure of the family unit to both homeopathic treatment strategies and Jungian psychological concepts. He will discuss the core delusion (a topic also discussed by Jung) and its role in the process of disease development, as well as other classifications used by Jung and Hahnemann that play a role in how a practitioner conducts the homeopathic interview and selects a remedy (e.g., miasms). He’ll also explain how mother/father remedy archetypes impact the family dynamis. Come find out what Dr. Luc, the author of 14 books, has to say about these compelling topics.

Intro & general-level seminars

On Saturday and Sunday you’ll have more stimulating study opportunities. If you are a newcomer to homeopathy, you will be excited to learn with two of the best-known practitioners and teachers on homeopathy for children—Miranda Castro, FSHom, CCH, RSHom, and Amy Rothenberg, ND, DHANP—both regular contributors to Homeopathy Today. On Saturday, Miranda will present an all-day seminar, Thriving Through Birth and Beyond: Homeopathy for Mothers and Babies. She will include the ten top remedies for women in labor, discuss how mothers and babies can heal after childbirth, and help parents learn how to soothe babies troubled by colic, crying, jaundice, diaper rash, and more.

If you’re interested in helping older children, stay tuned for the day-long seminar given by Dr. Rothenberg on Sunday, A Mother Lode of Healing Knowledge: Homeopathy & Natural Medicine for Your School-Aged Child. Amy will discuss a variety of topics including therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, home remedies, and, of course, homeopathic approaches to earaches, upper respiratory tract infections, skin problems, anxiety, depression, and cognitive and learning challenges. She will address problems that affect both younger school-aged children and teens.

Advanced-level seminars

Saturday and Sunday will provide plenty of learning opportunities for experienced practitioners too. On Saturday you will enjoy an all-day session focused on the treatment of some of our most challenging patients—children affected by autism and other severe problems. Dr. Luc De Schepper will kick it off in the morning with The Womb of Disease: The Importance of Intra-Uterine Trauma to Unlocking Cases, where he’ll explain how many difficult cases, especially those that seem particularly mysterious or that fall into the category of “new epidemics” like autism, can be solved by looking at key aspects of the gestational period.

On Sunday afternoon you will be treated to a lecture by John Melnychuk, RSHom(NA), CCH, Autism Treatment: Lifting the Veil. Ever since John successfully cured my own son’s autism, he has gone on to become one of the world’s leading homeopaths in treating children on the autism spectrum. John will present several cases and convey invaluable knowledge gleaned from a practice largely composed of children with autism and other “incurable” diseases.

But wait, there’s more! On Sunday morning, there will be a session taught by the ever-popular Will Taylor, MD, who heads the homeopathic department at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. I’ll never forget the day when Will took my husband and me on a hike in the backwoods near his former home in Maine and showed us a variety of homeopathic remedy plants. Will even used to canoe up river to collect plant specimens in order to make remedies for his patients! I decided right then that he must be the reincarnation of Dr. Constantine Hering himself. In Childhood Through the Miasmatic Prism: Subtleties and Strategies for Case Taking and Analysis, Dr. Taylor will focus on how miasmatic factors play a role not just in remedy selection, but in case-taking as well.

Last but not least, on Sunday afternoon, attendees will have the chance to choose two out of the four shorter lectures given by yet more great homeopaths. Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman, ND, DHANP, LCSW, and Robert Ullman, ND, DHANP, will present on a topic for which they are renowned: Parents on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown: Children With Behavioral and Learning Problems; Ifeoma Ikenze, MD, DIHom, will share her expert knowledge on Homeopathic Management of Acute and Chronic Asthma in Children; Karen Allen, CCH, now principal of the Pacific Academy of Homeopathy, will address the problems of teenage girls in Young Women at Puberty: When the Beginning of Menstruation is Followed by Ill Health; and finally, our diligent archivist of homeopathic research, Dana Ullman, MPH, will present Evidence-Based Homeopathic Pediatrics: What Research Confirms.

Take a learning vacation

What more can you ask for? It will all be there for you in one place—three days in the beautiful Seattle area. Make your reservations today!

Increasing the light of engagement: Healing autism with homeopathy
by Ian Luepker, ND, DHANP

This is a time of darkness in the Northern Hemisphere. Every year on December 21st, the Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year. Yet equally as important, it marks the time when the days begin to lengthen, minute by minute—often as imperceptibly as the development and growth of a child.

The word solstice means “sun standing still.” The Winter Solstice signals the return of the sun, and for our ancestors, the return of light was a powerful symbol of hope in dark times. Winter Solstice festivals have been held worldwide throughout history, with Hanukah—also called The Festival of Lights—and Christmas, being the most celebrated in the Western Hemisphere.

For parents of a child on the autism spectrum, especially if their child is nonverbal, every day can feel like a time of darkness—a time when the lights of engagement, communication, and social interaction are barely perceptible, if not (seemingly) absent.

As with the lengthening of days and gradual movement toward the rebirth of springtime, however, there is always hope. And classical homeopathy acts like a spark igniting the light of engagement in an autistic child; a spark that nurtures the child’s ability to relate to, and be in presence with their parents, siblings, friends, and the greater community.

Homeopathy holds the healing potential not only to increase the light of engagement so that the autistic child radiates her inner-light outwards, connecting and illuminating loved ones by engaging, communicating, and relating. But it also holds the potential to open the curtains, allowing the morning sun to permeate the child with the warm embrace of the love, care, and tenderness expressed by the community surrounding her!

Drawing on 48 years of homeopathic experience, Catherine R. Coulter revisits the basics
by Catherine R Coulter, MA

The following is an excerpt from Catherine R. Coulter’s latest book, Homœopathic Education—The Unfolding of Experience.

Homœopathic Education—The Unfolding of Experience “investigates the body of knowledge a homœopath spends his life amassing and examines his manner of acquiring it. As in all forms of growth, during the process of becoming a full-fledged practitioner, there are certain clearly delineated stages to be passed through, each presenting challenges to be confronted, pitfalls to be avoided, and disappointments to overcome. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. The intent of this work is to indicate and describe the rites of passage that ultimately bring the aspirant to his goal: to practice, with confidence, integrity, and skill, the science and art of classical homœopathy” (from the “Introductory Remarks”).

The following adaptation is from Chapter 1, “Initiation into the Method”:

The beginning student might feel overwhelmed by the vast literature attached to homœopathy. All too often he is convinced (by instructors or himself) that he has to master an entire bookcase of material before he ventures to use the remedies; that he should not even start prescribing until he has done extensive reading. This is a mistake. At this point, in the earliest stage of study and practice, apart from a good home manual such as D.M. Gibson’s First Aid Homœopathy in Accidents and Ailments, the neophyte need familiarize himself with only three works: Boericke’s Materia Medica with Repertory, Kent’s Repertory, and Boger’s Synoptic Key. And “familiarize” does not require memorization; it means understanding how the material is organized and how the sections and categories are structured, so that eventually he can easily find his way around when looking up symptoms.

The essential literature

1) The Materia Medica with Repertory, compiled by William Boericke, is generally acknowledged as the leading homœopathic textbook on practical therapeutics. It is remarkably informative and complete (for its size)—a truly inspired book. A thorough acquaintance with its various sections and learning how to cross-reference between the “Materia Medica,” the “Repertory,” and the “Therapeutic Index” is almost a complete homœopathic education in itself. Many a homœopath has done fine work with the assistance of this book alone.

2) James Tyler Kent’s A Repertory of the Homœopathic Materia Medica amplifies and wonderfully enriches the repertory in Boericke’s smaller masterpiece. The manifold rubrics, subrubrics, and sub-subrubrics are brimful with valuable guiding symptoms. In order to make the most suitable choice for cure, the student needs only to grasp the basic format of the work (i.e., the sequence in which the different rubrics are arranged and under which the symptoms, with their appropriate remedies, are listed), then determine which remedies appear most frequently and strongly. This ingenious repertorizing system was devised to minimize the need for laboring away and burdening one’s memory with information which is right at your fingertips, beautifully organized and readily available. In time and with experience, as one begins to associate given remedies with certain symptoms, the information will be impressed on the mind in a natural and ineradicable way.

3) The third textbook indispensable for every aspiring homœopath is Cyrus Boger’s Synoptic Key of the Materia Medica. This gem of a book differs from Boericke’s volume in its organization, categorization, and presentation of material. By virtue of being based largely on Boenninghausen’s work instead of, like Boericke, primarily on Constantine Hering’s Guiding Symptoms and the Kent Repertory, it complements Boericke by offering somewhat divergent rubrics and occasionally even suggesting distinct remedies for a given symptom or condition. Of inestimable value in this volume are the “Time,” “Amelioration and Aggravation,” and “Generalities” sections. The remedies listed there often go straight to the heart of a difficult or complicated case.

Gifted Homeopath, Author, Healer
by Karen Cohen, DC, CCH

The homeopathic community is deeply saddened at the passing of Ananda Zaren on September 24, 2008, four days after a car accident. She practiced homeopathy for 30 years in Santa Barbara, California, and authored Core Elements of the Materia Medica of the Mind, Volumes 1 & 2.

Zaren was barely five feet tall, but had a towering intellect and vitality to burn. Her greatest joy was in helping people get well, but in the fullest sense of the word, not just allaying symptoms, and she offered her patients a non-judgmental warmth that is rare in any health practitioner. … Zaren was a rare jewel and her patients lucky indeed.

—Isabelle T. Walker,
Santa Barbara’s Independent, November 13, 2008

While teaching in Germany, Ananda Zaren was beseeched to come to the hospital to help a tiny patient. Ananda sat in the dim sterile room, observing the small bundle in the intensive care incubator. The pre-term infant was on oxygen, unable to breathe normal room air, and her tiny chest rose in an uneven rhythm as it had for the past three months. When a nurse came in and touched her, the baby seemed to shrink from the contact and tried weakly to avert her face. Ananda noticed that she furrowed her brow, shutting her eyes more tightly when the nurse adjusted the curtains causing a momentary alteration in light. After silently watching for an hour, Ananda had all the information she required. A history of jaundice, an aversion to contact, and photosensitivity formed the “three-legged stool” triad of symptoms that can stand to indicate a remedy, in this case, Natrum sulphuricum. Ananda gave the remedy to the child and left for the evening. The next morning, the infant appeared to be stronger, was able to breathe on her own, and voluntarily opened her eyes to make contact with her mother for the first time. The remedy had done its work.

Homeopathy was Ananda Zaren’s passion and life’s work. Originally trained as a nurse and midwife who attended births, Ananda began formal training in homeopathy in 1976. She sought out and had the good fortune to study with George Vithoulkas, making the journey to Alonissos, Greece, at every opportunity for eight years. She would lie in the bathtub for hours reading the repertory, beginning at the front and then reading it again from the back. Her well-worn copy of Boericke’s Materia Medica was filled with hand-written notations detailing subtle findings that illumined and enhanced her understanding of the physical and emotional terrain of each remedy.

The daily practice of homeopathy formed the very center of Ananda’s life. She often happily worked six days a week, welcoming patients who came from considerable distances and preferring to spend her time in her “learning lab” as she called the practice. Her power of observation was extremely acute and she was a master at cataloguing nuance and gesture, every aspect of human expression, which she interpreted as the language of the vital force. Once a remedy was acting, she relished every moment of follow-up; for her this was precious time spent in the presence of pure living materia medica.

Ananda’s patients traveled many miles to see her. While some made the journey to her Santa Barbara office from southern and northern California, many came from other states and even from countries in Europe. A number of prominent screen actors also were her patients. On one occasion, a nice-looking man came for a first visit. When Ananda asked what his profession was, he replied that he was an actor. “Oh,” she said sympathetically, knowing that many actors are perpetually out of work, “are you doing alright?” “Well,” he replied, “I just won the Academy Award.” Ananda did not watch much television or frequent the movies, and everyone in her practice was given the same degree of special attention.

Ananda had the extraordinary ability to gaze beneath a person’s façade or mask, as she called it, where anger, fear, and grief inform behavior and contribute to physical pathology. She had intimate awareness of the hidden elements of the human psyche. Many of her patients recall a deeply curative and transformational experience that began the moment she beamed her intense light of comprehension, recognition, acceptance, and compassion—followed by the accurate homeopathic prescription.

I remember one patient, a man in his 50s, who came to a clinical supervision session held by Ananda some years ago. He had experienced an anguishing form of restless leg syndrome for more than 25 years and had not been able to sit comfortably through a meal or a television program for decades. The restless legs prevented him from sleeping, but he had discovered that pressure on the bottoms of his feet would temporarily quiet the relentless restless sensation; so if he got up from bed and vigorously jumped up and down and squatted, he could go back and get a few minutes of sleep. Finally, in desperation, he had built himself a sort of rack that he lashed himself onto at night so that he could sleep in the standing position. The referring homeopath had consulted with another senior homeopath, and over time they had given this man every remedy in the repertory rubric, “Extremities, Restlessness, Lower limbs, night”—from Arsenicum to Zincum. After taking the man’s case (with our class of homeopathic colleagues watching on closed circuit television in another room), Ananda came in to discuss the case with us. With a shake of her head and an impish expression she exclaimed: “Oh, I didn’t consider this a case of restless legs—I used the repertory rubric ‘Mind, Desire to Escape.’ This man is running!” After a dose of Belladonna, the patient returned in three months and reported that he had been able to sit though a movie for the first time in many years and sleep well, too.

Ananda’s great strength was her work with women and infants. She felt that infants were fully capable of emotional perception and believed that comprehending the emotional state of the person before you, regardless of age, was requisite to finding the homeopathic similimum. In 1989, she was invited to practice homeopathy for four months in an in-patient allopathic hospital in Schwalmstadt, Germany. It was here that she recorded many compelling cases, such as a woman in a state of pseudocyesis or “false pregnancy” who responded beautifully to the remedy Crocus sativus. Ananda made valuable additions to the understanding of many remedies such as Baryta sulphurica, Bufo, Kali ferrocyanicum, Lac caninum, and Natrum hypochlorosum. She was the author of two treatises on materia medica entitled Core Elements of the Materia Medica of the Mind Volume I and II, in which she described her case-taking methodology.

It is with great sadness that the homeopathic community bids adieu to Ananda Zaren. Ananda worked tirelessly, and her insights will surely inspire homeopaths of the future. She will be dearly missed by her colleagues, as well as her patients, many of whom had been with her for more than twenty years.

In her own words …

Ananda Zaren wrote two articles for Homeopathy Today about treating her own beloved animal companions: “Cats Don’t Talk” in October 2001 and “Dogs Don’t Talk” in September 2003. You can find them by searching the Homeopathy Today Online archives at NationalCenterForHomeopathy.org. Here is a short excerpt:

One of the ways in which I learned homeopathy was by taking hundreds of cases of newborn babies. Because infants cannot talk, I was forced to feel and observe without any limitation. …

Whether you treat an adult, child, or animal, the case-taking and homeopathic skills needed to reach the simillimum are the same, and the depth of where we want to go is the same—to the very soul or the inner reality of the being. We have to know our literature very well and also have a certain sensitivity and feeling for the vital force. If we just use our minds, we will find a similar remedy, but not a simillimum; and if we just use our sensitivity and feeling, we don’t find a simillimum either. We have to use our minds and our hearts together to reach the precise remedy.

—Ananda Zaren
