What is Suppression?

Writer's picture: JenJen

Suppression is when a disease is pushed deeper through the use of treatments which do not cure. It can also happen through traumatic experiences, chronic stress, and lifestyle choices.


Pharmaceutical drugs are probably the number one cause of suppression in the present day. This is because they do not cure, but push the disease deeper. A good example of this is a client I had many years ago who had a terrible case of eczema as a baby which was treated with steroids. As the child grew older, he developed breathing difficulties and was diagnosed with asthma. All types of treatments were attempted and none were successful until he was given a homeopathic remedy. As his breathing improved, a rash appeared on his chest, which was exactly like the eczema he had as a baby. It was itchy and uncomfortable, but mom treated it minimally, using only calendula. As the rash continued to be uncomfortable, the breathing got better and better. After a few months, neither the rash nor the asthma were present any longer. This is still the case many years later. In an emergency, a drug may be necessary. Homeopathy can still heal after the fact.


A couple years ago I had a client who had lost both her parents and never spent time grieving despite being very close to both of them. She was very busy with her career and used that busyness to avoid dealing with deep grief. Years later she found herself with multiple physical symptoms which seemed to be unrelated. While taking a remedy that matched her symptoms, the grief came to the surface. As she worked through it, the physical symptoms improved. About a year later, she was vastly improved both mentally and physically. The suppression of deep emotions had led to physical disease.


Materia Medica




Sepia (Sep): Made from the inky juice secreted by the cuttlefish when it is in danger. People needing this remedy feel worn out, particular by family duties and expectations. They may be polite and kind to friends and strangers and have no patience for family members. They want to be left alone. Vigorous exercise helps them feel better. The stomach might feel empty, and eating does not relieve this. This is a good remedy to consider for hormonal difficulties in women when the picture fits.
