Minutus

Just have a curiosity about describing to patients what is going on when
they tell you their life story , or give a symptom that you know sounds like
a strange/rare/peculiar and ask, "so what does this mean?" This happens to
me a lot, and if it is a physiology question then I can explain what is
happening in their bodies, or I can explain that the strange symptom they
told me is very helpful in matching a remedy along with everything else they
just told me. BUT, I got stumped the other day, when I prescribed
Thiosianum, as indicated, to dissolve scarring, and they said, "but how does
it do that?" The patient has been a homeopathic patient for quite a long
time(not with me), and knows what Homeopathy is all about. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Rhonda

Generally I try to explain to patients that the remedy isn't actually DOING
the work at all, but that it simply removes obstacles to their own inner
vitality returning to a normal balance with no alarm signals anywhere.
It's prety abstract, I know. But I do think this is a central realization
important for homeopathic patients to accept and expect.

For what it's worth... Rosemary
