Annual Joint American Homeopathic Conference

From April 22nd through 24th I attended the annual conference put on by the National Center for Homeopathy. Presentations were given both in person and via a virtual platform. It was virtual for me this year. Hopefully the future will bring more in-person conferences!

Speakers included Miranda Castro, Alastair Gray, Jamie Oskin, George Vithoulkas, Todd Rowe, Amy Rothenberg, Farokh Master, Karen Allen, and George Dimitriadis, among many others. All three days were packed full of interesting speakers. Topics ranged from introductory information about how to use a remedy kit to data analysis and interpretation and how to utilize this to move our profession forward. It was difficult to choose which presentations to attend!

The best thing about opportunities like this, in my opinion, is listening to knowledge gained by others through their practices and thinking about how to incorporate it into your own. Homeopathy is a topic that is incredibly broad and deep. As practitioners, we should never stop learning; never reach a place where we feel that we know enough and that no one else can teach us anything. One could spend years focusing on one remedy and still not understand every facet of it, and we have thousands of them.

Another wonderful topic discussed at the conference on the surface does not seem as interesting as practitioner experience or case analysis or remedy discussions, but it is exceedingly important. Recent studies were presented which clearly show the efficacy of homeopathy. This is no surprise to homeopaths, as we see this every day, but it’s important to continue that work in order to move homeopathy forward in the world at large. Just in case you are not aware, there are hundreds of studies which prove the efficacy of homeopathy already, and more are being done all the time.

Materia medica




Ranunculus bulbosus (Ran-b) is a remedy made from buttercup. It is most well known for its use in arthritic conditions and rheumatism, but has marked skin effects as well. The patient benefiting from this remedy feels worse when the weather is cold and when they are exposed to drafts. They also generally feel worse if they consume alcohol. There are chest pains which are worse when breathing in, when moving, and when lying on the painful side. The neck is stiff and the muscles of the back sore to the touch. On the emotional plane, the patient is irritable and far more concerned about their condition than what is warranted by the symptoms.
