Another Great Woman of Homeopathy

As a homeopathic consultant for many years, I find the inspiration of the homeopaths before me to be of encouragement and worthy of emulation.

Besides Mother Teresa, I look to Dr. Dorothy Shepherd as a beacon of light in our world of interest-group medicine and symptom-masking drugs.

Dr. Shepherd, my posthumous mentor, was an English medical doctor practicing in hospital clinics and emergency rooms after WWI. She used the conventional methods learned in medical school, hospitals and clinics.

Then, as luck would have it, she learned of homeopathy via the veterinarians and homeopathic physicians abounding in England at the time. So, she returned to medical school. This time it was a homeopathic medical school she attended. (more…)

Out, Out Blasted Spots

Jessie’s mother was in an unenviable position. She tried to keep her family as healthy as possible by cooking hearty, nutrient-packed meals and using homeopathy to address acute ailments. But as soon as her daughter turned fourteen, she was plagued with acne that embarrassed her at school and drained her self-confidence.

Dermatologists offered therapies that seemed like overkill. Put her young daughter on a birth control pill and flood her body with synthetic hormones? Antibiotics taken every day for months or even years? Creams and ointments that left her daughter’s skin red and cracked?

Jessie’s mother turned to a more powerful, gentler way: homeopathy. (more…)

It’s a feeling you’ve probably experienced … the frustration of not being able to sleep. You know you’ve got to get up in a few hours, but sleep still eludes you.

Western medicine is quick to jump in with a sleeping pill promising quick relief. It doesn’t matter why you can’t sleep. Everyone gets pretty much the same medicine.

The beauty of homeopathy is that we take the time to evaluate the individual symptoms pertaining to each person’s sleep problems. This gives us a chance to holistically assess what factors, such as stress levels, may be hindering sleep. (more…)

Zebu

This is my fourth week in Kolkata (Calcutta), and I’m sopping up every precious minute.

I work at the Banerji Homeopathy Clinic and Research Center from about 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, but Sundays are for touring and getting to know Kolkata.

It’s an exciting beehive of a place, where life endlessly pokes at the senses.

Foods are prepared from scratch on the street, rickshaws tote people, dogs roam the alleyways and cows meander nearby.

From what I can gather, Indian cows are a breed called zebus. The only reason I know this is because when our boys were little, we had a picture book of exotic animals with a large photo of a zebu. Thus, “zebu” became one of the first words our son learned. (more…)

Lucky Me!

I’m at the world-famous Banerji Homeopathy Research Foundation and Clinic in Kolkata.

Lucky me! I’m in Kolkata, India, and each day I sit next to a master. I sit snuggly between a well-trained homeopathic assistant (a homeopath in his/her own right) and shoulder-to-shoulder with the famed Dr. Prasanta Banerji, an 80-year-old homeopathic physician who learned not only from his 50+ years of practice but also from his father and grandfather, both of whom were community leaders and homeopathic physicians.

First Day in India; First Mistakes

 

We were warned, but I guess you don’t learn until you experience it yourself.

My husband and I ventured into the market square, which we were assured by Americans and British we had already met, was safe but to expect a culture shock. Entering the area wasn't the mistake.
