Columba palumbus for aggressive itching

Author | Annette Sneevliet

ABSTRACT: An unusually peace-loving woman feels under attack from everything. Any food causes unbearable itching of the skin, which completely restricts her freedom of movement. Her thoughts and actions are governed by a spirit of yielding and self-sacrifice for those around her; negative feelings are suppressed. The case history, taken using the Sensation Method, points the way to a bird remedy. Under treatment with Columba palumbus, not only does the itching disappear, but the patient henceforth puts her own needs first, rather than always being there for others.

KEYWORDS: Allergy, Columba palumbus, itching, wood pigeon, Staphisagria, pigeon, suppressed feelings, birds

Gavia immer – proving and long-term observations

Author | Je Norbu (Jason-Aeric) Huenecke

ABSTRACT: The remedy profile of Gavia immer is developed across various levels of experience, ranging from the biology of the loon to symptoms observed in the proving and verbatim statements of four patients in long-term observations. They share long-standing sadness, isolation, the sense of not belonging and self-reproach, and they carry a loss that predates them, and keeps the authentic self out of sight. The remedy helps them witness life and their inner state without merging and thus deepen their connection to self.

Author | Ghanshyam Kalathia

ABSTRACT:A university lecturer in homeopathy suffers from Hashimoto’s disease and severe anxiety, triggered by a major life change. While she has a strong sense of responsibility, she wants to escape those responsibilities and yearns for freedom. This conflict is typical of bird remedies. Qualities like perfection, tenacity and stubbornness and expressions tied to calmness, contentment and serenity lead to the prescription of Gavia immer. Following treatment, the patient regains calm and peace and reclaims her inner strength.

KEYWORDS: Anxiety, birds, Gavia immer, Hashimoto’s disease, insomnia, loon, palpitations, thyroiditis
