Combo

[Jeff Tikari gmail]

There are hundreds of remedies for a headache in Homeopathy. When one is not sure which ONE remedy is
the correct one, give a combo of two or three remedies to cover a very wide range of symptoms.
As long as the remedies are similar to the head pain and one or two or all three will cure it, it is Homeopathy.

Hi,

Homeopathy suppressions are the worst and if we can't find out the true
smm

its better we ask them to take to allopathy than dumping combos. For ex;
in an

acute condition like headache, the symptoms will be so prominent that if
only we are

alertful and observant enough we are sure to hit the right smm. The
important thing to

analyse from the case in front of us is whether it is an acute
exacerbation of a chronic

condition or just a plain acute. In the former you need to exercise
caution not to give

the smm of his chronic but to give a sattelite remedy to tide over the
crisis and at the

same time not undo the action of the smm. The modalities and the
concomitants of the

acute condition surely offer clues enough to prescribe a remedy and it
will act as fast

as the violent onset of the head ache.

enough of ranting...

I just love that 'throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and hope something sticks' approach. One of them may palliate it or suppress it. But hardly cure what is underlying that ONE symptom.

great rant
thanks for speaking out
kind of like if allopathy gave all the drugs out there, hoping one would work (of course never would cure, but also palliate or suppress).
But, hey, lets use them all - makes our life simpler
Going now to work on a patent for a combo of ALL the remedies that there are at the moment. That should bring me lots of money

If that is how homeopath chooses to practice or deal with a particular, case, then let it be so, but there should not be combos in the stores labeled "homeopathic headache relief" without extensive package insert on how to make homeopathic selection of the remedy. If individual homeopath's combo helps (palliates), patient is going to come back to homeopathy to deal with other problems, if it does not - the patient will change homeopath. If store-bought "homeopathic" combo does not work, the patient will be turned off homeopathy alltogether.

(This is about HOW to use homeopathy - separate from a definition of it.)
I agree, because headache is merely one symptom and in homeopathy you treat the individual not the headache.
That may be your idea of helping a headache but it is not homeopathy.
You may graft new symptoms from a mismatched remedy given to an ill individual. Mismatched remedies can do harm during illness. It is only in healthy individuals that a mismatched remedy can build health (as in provings or prophylaxis)...see APh 141.

You may also suppress a headache that way - which will temporarily relieve symptoms till the headache or worse condition re-emerges. Again, this also is not homeopathy, however much you may wish to use it.

If only very few doses are used, you might accidentally help the headache without doing harm.
No doubt that is what you hope for, but it is guesswork not homeopathy...like going blindfolded around a pharmacy, grabbing every tenth drug, mixing all, and hoping for the best - that's not medicine any more than your combo guesswork is homeopathy.
No. You miss the point (and thus the target). The symptomS (note the plural) of the patient need to be matched by the symptoms of the remedy (or the remedy mix if the symptoms are known for a mix - and they are not) in order to invoke the Law of Similars. If each of 500 remedies includes headache of some kind within its 10,000 other rubrics, that makes it one ten-thousandth of a potential match. It's like saying that instead of hitting the target, you got somewhere in the same city. Only if yo hit the target, not if you are merely in the same city - will the Law of Similars be triggered to heal.

Namaste,
Irene

One problem I believe, at least in the USA, is that homeopathy is often lumped in with herbology.
Many herb combos say, not sure if actually tested and shown true, that the combo of them works synergistically thus better together than alone. Same idea with artificial sweetener combos, mix to get better flavor, etc.
The closest to this synergy in classical homeopathy may be the idea of taking another remedy thought to be complementary to a current remedy and then, if needed, switching back.
Personally, I'm experiencing taking an anti-miasmatic nosode Tub K and when I sense it is wearing out, not working as well, needing a change, I switch back to it's complementary antipsoric which then proceeds to work even better. I've just done this for the 3rd time and having beneficial effects. The ability of the anti-miasmatic nosode, supposedly intercurrent and temporary, to act and keep a current chronic disease at bay instead of having to use the anti-psoric, that has been doing so, for a period of time, reinforces an idea of remedies working together but NOT combining them. Though, I've found, the nosode has a different action, almost feels like being taken back in time before a disease became fully active while the antipsoric, in my case a constitutional, makes me stronger. I know after a certain amount of LM doses, days or week or more, I will need to switch again.
There are other examples in the texts like taking a round of Lyc, Calc Suph and the remedy A "follows" remedy B entries or doesn't follow well.
While there could be some use for low potency X combos, since many feel when taking the wrong single remedy, the vital force just ignores it and it's "harmless" that could be wrong thinking. So taking a combo of 10 remedies, 9 aren't needed by vital force, 1 is and the 9 are ignored. Though it could be like having 10 songs on your iPod or mp3 player. Play 10 songs in order is understood, play all 10 at once and it sounds like confusion and noise.

Dear Jeff
Combos were totally rejected by Hahnemann. Please read the Organon
As Minutus is a HAHNEMANNIAN site, please refrain from expressing such view that have no relationship to homeopathy as they ignore the basic principle of SYMPTOM SIMILARITY and seeking the SIMILIMUM which by definition is only ONE.
