Finally, the weather is heating up here in Toronto. Patios are open, toes are being shown, teeth are being exposed (from smiling that is). Sports teams are filling outdoor fields, outdoor runners are taking over sidewalks, spring cleaning is on our lists, hitting the gym double time may be somewhere on that list- towards the bottom. Aches and pains are inevitable…so what are our first go-to remedies?

 Our hearts go out to those affected by the Boston marathon bombing yesterday afternoon. This horrific event left 3 dead and over 140 injured. I don’t usually watch or read news but it was all over the place. Just looking at the photos, I feel like reaching for Ignatia. It’s quite easy to get swept into the horrific details of the event. Until I thought….wait…. 

One of our 3rd year students was published in the Students Corner of "The Canadian Homeopath" February 2013 issue. Today's blog is a copy of that article contributed by Jennifer Metzger BAA.

"Everyone knows that if we can acheive an attitude of gratitude it can be life changing. Expressing gratitude is really an art of noticing and appreciating what is valuable and meaningful to oneself; a general state of thankfullness and/or appreciation. However, developing a mindset of gratitude is a cultivated behaviour.

Gesemium sempervirens...yellow jasmine. This remedy is like an old friend to me but I hadn't it used it for awhile until recently. My dog Bella started to show some unmistakeable symptoms. She is an active, sensitve Border Collie and has experienced some upheaval in her life over the past few months (NWS hearing bad news - although for a dog it is the incredible sensing of bad news and its lingering effects). This has left her a little more fearful and apprehensive (Gelsemium is the acute for Arg. nit.) and she had developed a little nervous diarrhea.

I used to travel a lot for work. I enjoyed the opportunity to experience different cities and countries, but the years of business travel to take a toll. When I started to feel periodic claustrophobia in a plane, I knew I needed to find help. I decided to explore natural solutions. Using a combination of homeopathy, flower essences and acupuncture points I became a happy traveler once more!

Day 1

After the blood-pumping seminar with Dr. Farouk Master; Cheryl, Brigitte, Spero and I spent three days in the foothills of the Himalayas. Spero Latchi, a homeopath who lives in India, runs a homeopathic clinic in the city of Bir.   Spero’s objective was to touch base with some of his remote patients living in small isolated villages.

I recently returned from a spectacular trip to the foothills of the Himalayas in India where I had spent 11 days studying homeopathic medicine with the world renowned Dr. Farokh Master. Also present were 23 other homeopaths from around the globe including Dr. Will Taylor from Portland, Oregon.

This is James Compton Burnett's 8th reason for being a homeopath. A doctor in the 1800's he chose to pursue a career in homeopathy because of the excellent reults he found when trying the remedies on himself. He published a small book titled "50 Reasons for Being a Homeopath" in which he used a collection of letters ehe had writen to a young friend and sceptic who had just graduated in medicine. In earlier posts there are more details regarding the remarkable career of Dr. Burnett.
