I thnk it was luck. But, it shows you that you cannot just go by what the books imply is the major use of a small remedy. If it reps well and it is a small remedy, then there is a good chance it will work.

Unless I missed it - this might be a great case to share.

Ellen, could you share more of it? A dramatically successful use of a small remedy-- this would be GREAT to learn!

Hi Shannon,
It’s really nothing to learn. Just doing ordinary classical homeopathy. But the answer to turned out to be a remedy that is not typical for that kind of problem.
I’ll look for the case in my files. I’m pretty meticulous.
Best,
Ellen

Ellen/Shannon… I better look up “small remedy” because I have never heard term before! Waiting to see what you say.

Hi Vicki,

Good question! The term “small remedy” refers to a remedy either about which only a limited amount is known (e.g. not many rubrics), and/or which is believed to have (or at least is known for) a rather specific and limited sphere of activity. Eel serum would be one, or senega (which I’ve never heard of), and many, many, many other examples — probably most of the materia medica, I guess.

Sometimes a remedy is considered “small” (limited in scope) only because we don’t know enough about it. One e.g. of that is Thiosinamin, which apparently used to be thought of entirely as a remedy “for” scar tissue and adhesions, but was later fleshed out to include mental symptoms, and a much greater potential field of usefulness.

Senega is small but it’s a remedy among Boenninghausen’s 125 remedies. If you were doing polarity analysis which is based on Boenninghausen’s pocketbook, then Senega comes up fairly frequently. I’ve never used it, but it’s not a small remedy in that context.
