Q1. IS IT THE COMPLETE LIST OF CONST.REMEDIES ?
Q2. IF NOT. WOULD ANYBODY LIKE TO COMPLETE IT.
I SHALL BE HIGHLY THANKFUL TO YOU.
THANK YOU.

There is no such thing as a list of constitutional remedies!! . The patient determines what is a constitutional remedy . The function of the homeopath is to read the patient and match that person to a remedy, that remedy is then constitutional . This is like using a computer to sort a patient out - an abnegation of responsibility

Troll question!!!!

MR.PASSKEY
Firstly I thank you for the response.
Secondly, now I put my question in another way, perhaps you did not follow my question.
Are these following remedies constitional?
ARNICA. ACON. ALFAALFA. BELL. BERBERIS V. ALLIUM CEPA. ETC. ETC. and all oter remedies which are not in the above list.

All remedies may be 'constitutional' - but since this word in homoeopathy means many different things to different homoeopaths, the question is difficult to answer.

What do you mean by constitutional?

If you mean Chronic as opposed to Acute, then all remedies can be Acute or Chronic.

Thank you DAVID, you have widened the horizon of HOMEOPATHY for me.
All remedies cnn be Acute or Chronic.
Thanks a lot.

"Troll question!!!!" what do you mean by putting this...

mshafiq,

I think this is very well said *question* and need clarification from experience homeopaths.

I was reading a thread of Fittness First at hpathy forum.

http://www.hpathy.com/forum/display_...PagePosition=1

The posts sent by him in the same thread have paramount importance for me. He showed the true picture of homeopathy to us. I also experience the same thing but did not ask the question because i was afraid that people will declared me a troll. What I have observed that anything which have no answers in homeopathy we are puting them in the troll box.

Rochelle: some people just don't know-like I'm just learning... hence questions that may look weird TO SOMEONE.Let's do not scream "bloody murder" every time someone asks them. Besides Robin Murphy's repertory lists constitutions and remedies for each-would you call him a troll?

Mr.Referee-thank's for the link-I'm also ineterested in this subject.(and really most people here answer your questions, a year ago I had no idea what homeopathy is and now not only I know a lot but I also have my first patient cured of chronic diseasse: my dog!)


I believe what MAHAFIQ means depends on duration of action of remedies. Aconite acts for a very short time, maybe it can be used in acute phase of chronic illness but to cure a deeply rooted chronic disease you need deeply and long acting remedy like sulphur or causticum and others who some call consitutional remedies. (isn't there a thread on this very BB "does your consitutional remedy ever change?")

CONSTITUTIONAL AND POLYCREST REMEDIES

It seems to me that there is a gray area in the definition of constitutional remedies. I will try to define my understanding . The old masters defined constitutional as relating to the underlying miasmatic classification in any patient . We all stand in some relationship to one of the miasmatic classes . [ See the miasms section on this BB ].
A polycrest is a remedy with a wide range of applications , such as Silica ,Sulphur , Calcarea etc .
To try to clarify this let us look at Natrum Muriaticum .
Nat Mur can be used in four separate ways .
[1] In its constitutional state it relates to the Sycotic Miasm .It is happy near the sea and often all problems will vanish on a sea voyage. Returning on reaching land again. It hates sympathy/pity. Will hobble away after a fall, fending off helpers and saying “ I’m O.K. “ Tends to keep people at ‘arms length ‘.The upper body emaciates while the lower remains plump.


[2] In its polycrest role it has use where there is dry peeling lips , cold sores , a liking for
[or a dislike of ] salt . Has a shiny skin [ which it shares with Thuja – another Sycotic remedy ] . Dryness of mucous membranes [ particularly the vaginal in the female ] . It is one of the remedies with tickle/stick in throat .

[3] When a case has been mixed up by incorrect prescribing , it can be used high [10m ,CM] to bring the case back to ‘square one’ . Allowing a fresh look to be taken when things have settled . Sometimes it can be used to clear the ground after the grossly suppressive use of steroids .

[4] It is said that more cases of leukemia and anemia have been cured with Nat Mur , than any other remedy .
