Abstract
Most homeopaths would be familiar with the homeopathic medicine Caulophyllum, though possibly only in a limited capacity. As a student I learned of two key applications of this medicine:
- childbirth: intermittent contractions with threatened miscarriage
- arthritic affections of the small joints, especially the fingers and toes.
For many years, I only ever prescribed Caulophyllum as part of childbirth first aid kits.
This all changed a few years ago. I was with a group of homeopaths, discussing cases. We were sharing stories about those fabulous occasions when selecting a medicine based on a single peculiar symptom had surprised us by the depth and breadth of the healing that followed. A colleague described how he has prescribed Caulophyllum in this way.
