A case of Buddleia with levels of healing: We do not always find the right remedy by following the breadcrumb trail of symptoms towards a remedy. Often the patient is also telling us what he needs or wishes or we need to observe a miasmatic pattern to come to what is needed to heal. Without diverging from the Hahnemannian path we sometimes come to beautiful prescriptions which can open a case wide up. In a severely traumatized patient a relatively unknown remedy comes up which fits the case in such a depth that I am amazed by what comes up next and the remedy that is presenting itself towards a new step in the healing journey of my patient.

Bio: Coming from a family where several natural ways of healing played a prominent role it wasn’t strange that from an early age I chose to study homeopathy. With almost limitless passion I started my education at the Academy of Natural ways of Healing in Hilversum to become one of the youngest homeopaths in the Netherlands. Already during my homeopathic training, I became fascinated by the many methods of practicing homeopathy as well as the different ways of approaching the similimum. So while I was still studying the basics, I was often following lectures by other homeopaths. In the past decade, I’ve mostly discovered that homeopathy isn’t an island. There is a large overlap with developmental psychology, both Jungian and Freudian psychology, Hellinger’s constellation work and several other therapeutic and non-therapeutic theories. It is this realization that makes me look at life and my profession (and therefore also my patients) from a wider angle. Not only have my growth perspectives changed immensely through this but also feel the quality of healing has matured and ripened. The great benefit with this broad spectrum of therapeutic approaches is that it is very individually adjustable. After all, there are few theories that work for 100% of the people. And this is where my strength lies: to take the most suitable method of using the tool that is homeopathy for each individual patient. Of course, this method has proven its success during the years as it is a true holistic method.
