What's the value of the client's full timeline in homeopathy?!

Something that often catches new clients off-guard is when I start asking them more about their own personal history - emotionally, physically, family lines, traumas, significant life events, illnesses (even as a baby), etc. Sometimes they even say: "well that doesn't have anything to do with my current symptoms" and I think - okay I need to do a better job at explaining the FULL CAPACITY of homeopathic medicine. It's been a great learning experience for me!

This week I had an initial consultation with my new personal homeopath (i'm excited to share more about this soon!) But beforehand, I spent time journaling and writing down my full life timeline - the good, the bad the ugly. Because as a homeopath, it's our job in the consultations to essentially map out and get a good idea of the client's timeline.

We know that illness and symptoms are a physical manifestation of energetic imbalance in the body. So what can cause energetic imbalances or distortion in the first place?! Literally anything!! It could be a car accident, a vaccine injury, a stressful season of life, a virus or bacterial imbalance, distorted energy passed down through family lines, a physical trauma, emotional trauma - etc. The list is literally infinite.

So here's my best example of why the timeline matters so much -

Say a client comes to me for mold related illness. It's not my job as a homeopath to get as many mycotoxins out of the body as possible or to put this person on tons of detox protocols. It's my role as a homeopath to figure out why this individual was so sensitive to the mold exposure in the first place! Like why was their body already so easily impressionable by this mold that quite literally covers the earth and doens't impact two people the same way?

Then I dig deeper -

What emotional factors were at play? How are the relationships in their life? Mold never effects someone when it's convenient - it comes in rapid fire like mental, physical and spiritual warfare at it's worst. So in mold cases, there's hardly ever just one layer we are addressing.

What is this person's health history like? Any major infections in their past? Any major vaccine or medication reactions that could have distorted their vital force in the first place? Every little point matters.

What about the family lines? Inherited generational patterns? Is there a history of alcohol or drug abuse in family lines? What about mental health conditions or suicide? A strong prevalence of cancer, autoimmune conditions or heart disease?! Any other patterns of health conditions, personality quirks or energetic imbalances in the extended family? We typically address these components with what we call a Miasmatic remedy - to help "clear the backstory" that could have made an impression on a body before birth!

Do you understand where I'm coming from here?!

When we look at the ecosystem as a whole, we can better understand what exactly is needed to help restore that energetic balance at a core level. We can find the best fitting remedy (the simillimum) for the case and the unique individual sitting in front of us!

My mentor always says: "Your number one job as a homeopath is to give the best possible opening prescription." That is ALWAYS my goal! Find the best fitting remedy that will cut to the core and get energy moving again. The remedy that will cut to stagnation & remind the vital force within to achieve balance. From there, we can always address the other layers that come up.

Hope that helps :)
