Constitutional-type - WAS: the combos conversation - MM Virosum

[Irene de Villiers]

Dear Soroush,

Thanks you for your email with points on remedy selection regarding
simillimum. It is the comment on constitutional-type where I'd like to
add something:

From my perspective, animals who have short enough lives and large
enough numbers for good direct observation for all of their life, make
it a lot easier to observe life-long constitutional-type. I also
consider there is the factor that certain physical traits (eg
proportions) are part of constitutional-type. Several of these would
necessarily be life long.
I observe cats for example, literally from birth to death - and even
newborns show their constitutional-type characteristics right away on
arrival.
I find constitutional-type to be an exciting area for future
expansion of knowledge. It is my personal belief that homeopaths may
find it a great area to use to advantage of the client during healing,
as well as for prevention of health problems.
I think I mentioned before that I use it a good deal in preventive
work with animals.

At this point I cannot conceive of a constitutional-type changing during
a lifetime. It no longer makes sense to me, and certainly I have never
seen it. I suspect it needs a lot more work so that constitutional-type
is better understood, better documented for each remedy and more easily
recognized.
Currently it is a lot of work to find the constitutional-type using
repertory and MM, but until we document more features of the permanent
constitutional-type via confirmed rubrics and detailed descriptions for
large numbers of individuals of a specific constitutional-type, this
difficulty is likely to remain a stumbling block.
I'd like to see a lot more work in this area.

Namaste,
IRene

Irene, have you thought of writing on this subject based on your unique
vantage point in working with companion animals? I'm sure that your
observations will be useful for people working with humans as well.

Warmly, Rosemary

Hi Rosemary,
Thanks - I do have something planned but due to my own health situation
it will be very slow and take quite a while to get to publication. I
also feel that this whole subject is really in its infancy - and that
what I know now is a bit like the tip of the iceberg!
Any remedy might have a constitutional type associated with it - but
it needs lots of work to define it well.
So at the moment - I could sort of kick off the subject - and
describe what I have observed and a sampling of constitutional types as
examples - and hopefully convince readers of what comes next:-)
I agree it would apply to any species including human, the parallels
are there - as also the differences - for example where physiology differs.
Namaste,
Irene
