I recently had the pleasure of finding a homeopathic medicine for a beautiful young woman in her early 30s. Anna’s main complaint was  ‘brain fog’. Her thoughts felt all muddled up: when she tried to communicate, the words wouldn’t come. She felt vague, confused and easily distracted, and tired easily when trying to study or concentrate. Her thoughts were crowded and rushed and this left her feeling anxious and overwhelmed.

Otherwise, Anna was fit and healthy. Given that she was aware of her food sensitivities and looked after her diet, Anna’s mental symptoms seemed to be inexplicable.

There are dozens of homeopathic medicines that match these symptoms. So, how to decide which one? Since homeopathy takes into account the whole person, not just a bunch of symptoms in isolation, the more personal insight the homeopath can gain about the patient’s  most peculiar experience of the world, the easier it is to decipher what medicine is needed. Much to my delight, Anna mentioned a recurring experience she’d had since childhood, whereby she senses objects around her to be further away than they actually are, so much so that she has to reach out to touch them to reset her spatial awareness. Personal insights like this are absolute gold to a homeopath. It  instantly pointed to the specific medicine Anna needed.

We all have quirky little experiences, thoughts, behaviours and feelings. Make note of yours because, as unpleasant as they may be at times,  a homeopath knows they could be the key to a more healthy, happy you.

Homeopathy satiates my natural curiosity and wonder about our unique experiences in life and I am forever amazed to discover the mostly hidden healing power of the natural world.
