Learning how to be alone

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.

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.

Between the cage and the sky

The third Superclass and the Class Aves in Homeopathy

Authors | Rajan Sankaran and Gentiana Jurj (Ciubuc)

ABSTRACT: When a patient sits before us and speaks in the same breath of freedom and of a bond that cannot be broken, of the sky and immediately of a nest, we can be certain that we are listening to a bird. In the Five-Finger Method, this duality bears a precise name: the Third Superclass (SC3), Limit and Expansion, and the class Aves is its animal expression par excellence. This article builds, step by step, the road from the concept of Superclass down to the individual remedy. Part I establishes the theoretical framework of Superclasses in general, of SC3 across the three natural kingdoms, and of the distinction between Lac humanum and the class Aves within SC3 animal. Part II applies the Five-Finger Method clinically to ten bird orders aligned with current biological taxonomy, mapping their source words, characteristic rubrics from the Repertory, and miasmatic signatures. A companion clinical article by Dr. Anja Balzereit in the same issue, presenting a case of Haliaeetus leucocephalus, illustrates the method in vivo.

A helicopter that won’t land

Hirundo rustica and its position in the MAP system

Author | Wyka Feige

ABSTRACT: In a patient presenting with vertigo and marked fatigue, a systematic analysis of the medical history according to Joshi’s MAP system points to the animal class of birds. Her dominant theme of caring for the family corresponds to Level 3, whilst the secondary theme of music as a hobby corresponds to Capacity Level 5. A strong self-confidence as in Stage 10 of the Periodic Table completes the case analysis and enables precise assignment to the species Hirundo rustica. This case serves as a prime example of the practical application of the MAP system.

Craving company and attention

Psittacula krameri in a case of blood and hair loss

Author | Chirag Tamboli

ABSTRACT: When a girl with severe anaemia and alopecia areata feels lonely and rejected, she plucks her hair and harms herself.

At peace with everyone

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

Bird kids

Anas indica, Falco peregrinus, Corvus monedula, Gallus gallus in paediatric practice

Author | Anna Koller-Wilmking

ABSTRACT: Several case studies from pediatric practice illustrate how to identify bird remedies in children. They often have an affinity for the world of birds and the freedom of flying. Sometimes they directly reveal certain characteristics of a bird. In other cases, striking similarities between the mother or father and the child allow us to conclude that the child needs the same remedy as the parent.

KEYWORDS: Abscess, Anas indica, Aquila chrysaetus, asthma, behavioural disorder, birds, bronchitis, chocken, eagle, enterobiasis, Erythracus rubecula, Falco peregrinus, Corvus monedula, gait, Gallus gallus, goose, jackdaw, Mowat–Wilson syndrome, noetic remedy, robin, strabismus
