Hi Michele, Interesting, the possible connection here. I emailed Jan Scholten about your Lilac - Syringa Vulgaris. A man of very few words as you know, it took 2 emails to get the following: The remedy is available from Homeoden in Belgium. When you go to their website, you'll discover that they hav...

Hi Glenda,

Didn't know Trish was a dotcom! Lovely stuff.

The link didn't work - this should http://www.patriciahatherly.com/

Cheers, Elizabeth

Thanks, Soroush and to Liz and Chris from the Aussie (pronounced Ozzie) contingent. I agree, and it's great to get amplification on why some of the DON'Ts occur. I'm seeing so many hom students (as a hom bookseller) that are confused and become quite discouraged because of all the "don't do's&q...

The 20 cup coffee man did very nicely on Nux vom.

I have known remedies to work after people have taken them IN their coffee, straight after brushing their teeth etc. When the action of a remedy IS affected it always seems to be after something occurring that the person/vital force is not used to ...

Hi Shannon, I know both Frans Vermeulen and Jan Scholten (and others) are looking at the themes of plants, and it seems to be more a case of, for instance, the conifers having themes of whatever, but within that family there are shrubs, small trees and huge trees, each with their varying issues of e...

Hi Michelle, You can get tubs of aqueous cream very cheaply in the chemists here, I add 1 teaspoon of tincture to 10 teaspoons of cream. Same for Arnica or Calendula, I get through a lot of both with a child! There must be a lot of places that sell 'bases' for creams, I did buy some firmer bases, cr...
