Just One Remedy?

Writer's picture: JenJen

As you may already know, classical homeopaths prescribe only one remedy. Does this mean if you see a homeopath they will give you one remedy that you will take for the rest of your life? Possibly, but not very likely.


Even in the best of health, everyone has areas in which they may be susceptible to disease. Emotional or physical traumas or experiences can open us up to mistunement and result in disease. We also may encounter a disease our bodies have no or limited experience with and we might need some outside support. In these situations, an acute remedy is appropriate. The most likely scenario is that a person taking a constitutional remedy would take the one (or more remedies in succession) which best match the acute symptoms and return to the constitutional remedy when the acute disease resolves.


It is also very likely that your homeopath will prescribe different remedies on a constitutional level. As we go through life, most of us acquire what homeopaths refer to as layers. This is due to suppression of various sorts, whether physical or emotional. The result is that the majority of us are similar to onions, with multiple layers. The remedies used to help work through these layers could be taken one at a time for months or years, as symptoms indicate. It’s important to stay in touch with your homeopath so if you suspect you are in need of a new remedy for a deeper layer, they can help.


Materia Medica




Belladonna (Bell): A person needing this remedy is most likely to experience a sudden onset of symptoms. Think of the experience of influenza where you are sitting at work feeling fine in the morning and by afternoon you feel like you were run over by a truck. When used in a chronic case, the symptoms might be extremely intense and painful. There is a lot of anger in this remedy along with a desire to strike. Flushes of heat are felt as well as intense heat that can be felt radiating off the body.
