Remedy Profiles: A Method of Integrating Classical & Innovation Understandings of Homeopathic Remedies

Mon, Nov 21, 2011

To address the debate in recent years regarding how a practitioner determine the nature and quality of the remedy, the author developed the idea of the remedy profile. The remedy profile provides a holistic, inclusive picture of the remedy taking into account the substance in nature from which the remedy comes, as well as all the variety of understandings that allow us to most fully appreciate the remedy. I developed this method of studying remedies as a way of helping students integrate the many different pieces of information that emerge.
