In this episode, Mary Greensmith sits down with natural medicine expert and homeopath Josie Semmes. If you or someone you love struggles with chronic fatigue, rapid heart rate, or dizziness upon standing, this is an episode you will not want to miss. Josie shares her incredible journey toward better health and explains how homeopathy offers real hope for those living with POTS.
What Exactly is POTS?POTS stands for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It happens when your body's signals misfire as you go from lying down to standing up. Instead of your blood vessels constricting normally, your heart rate spikes dramatically. This can cause severe dizziness, extreme fatigue, brain fog, and sometimes fainting. Josie explains that POTS is not a one-size-fits-all condition, and many individuals feel a huge sense of relief when they finally get to share their full symptom picture with a holistic practitioner.
The POTS TrifectaDuring the episode, Josie discusses a fascinating pattern she frequently sees in her clinic known as the "Trifecta." Many people dealing with POTS also experience hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (a connective tissue condition) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Because homeopathy addresses the whole person, all of these connected conditions can be supported at the exact same time.
Real Progress and Success StoriesJosie shares two incredible success stories:
The Post-Vaccine Case: A healthcare worker developed severe POTS symptoms after her second COVID vaccine, accompanied by a swollen, numb tongue. By focusing on that unique acute symptom, Josie found a remedy that dropped the client's POTS symptom score from a 50 down to a 2 out of 120! The Teenager with the Trifecta: A teen who developed POTS after having mono was highly reactive to food dyes and chemicals. After taking a well-matched homeopathic remedy (Belladonna), her chronic fatigue lifted, she could eat normally without reacting, and she regained the energy to simply be a teenager again. Nutrition and Conventional MedicineJosie emphasizes that homeopathy can be safely used right alongside your conventional prescriptions. She also highlights the absolute importance of nutritionâsometimes, just ensuring you have enough protein can dramatically shift your fatigue levels, giving your body the vital energy it needs to bounce back.

Welcome back to the Homeopathy247 podcast! In Episode 202, Mary is joined by Dr. Nitin Deshmukh, a highly experienced homeopath from India, to explore a condition that affects millions worldwide: psoriasis. If you or a loved one have been struggling with stubborn skin flares, this episode sheds light on how to address the true root cause.
Understanding Psoriasis Beyond the SkinDr. Deshmukh explains that clinically, psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where the skin's maturation process is hyper-accelerated. Instead of taking weeks, skin cells mature rapidly, creating red, inflamed scales and flakes. However, the physical symptoms are only half the story.
According to Dr. Deshmukh, psoriasis is an external manifestation of an internally deranged system. The most common triggers? Emotional stress, mental trauma, and family conflicts. He beautifully describes psoriasis as an "erupting volcano." When deep emotions like guilt, suppression, or feelings of being devalued cannot be safely expressed, the immune system weakens, and the body pushes these feelings out through the skin.
Mainstream Medicine vs. The Homeopathic ApproachMainstream medicine excels at soothing the skin's surface during severe flare-ups using anti-inflammatories and anti-allergics. However, these treatments often only manage the symptoms temporarily.
Homeopathy for psoriasis works differently. Following Hering's Law of Cure, homeopathy treats the patient from the inside out. By sitting down and acting as an emotional detective, a homeopath identifies the specific emotional conflict that triggered the immune suppression.
A Remarkable Case StudyTo illustrate this inside-out healing, Dr. Deshmukh shares a fascinating case of a 32-year-old man suffering from erythrodermic psoriasisâone of the most severe forms of the condition.
The patient's flare-ups began shortly after his marriage. Severe conflicts between his new wife and his sister-in-law forced him to move out of his beloved joint family home. Feeling disgraced, outcast, and deeply homesick, his emotional turmoil erupted on his skin. By matching these exact emotional symptoms, Dr. Deshmukh prescribed a single dose of the constitutional remedy Sulphur 30. Within 45 days, the flaking was vastly reduced, and within six months, his skin was clearâwith no recurrence in over three years!
The Main TakeawayHealing chronic conditions takes patience, but you do not have to suffer forever. By finding the exact core of your emotional and physical symptoms, a constitutional homeopathic remedy can help your immune system naturally restore its balance.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary sits down with Maha Mansour, a pediatrician turned homeopath, to discuss the rising rates of autism and how homeopathic medicine offers a profound, natural path to healing.
Why are Autism Diagnoses Increasing?Maha explains that the incidence of autism is much higher today than 20 or 30 years ago. She attributes this to four main factors:
Better Awareness: Parents and practitioners are more educated about autism. Broader Diagnostic Criteria: Milder forms of neurodivergence are now included in the diagnosis. Easier Access to Testing: Questionnaires and diagnostic tools are more readily available. Increased Toxic Load: Children are exposed to a significantly higher level of environmental toxins than in previous generations. The Mainstream Medical vs. Homeopathic ApproachAs a pediatrician, Maha notes that conventional medicine primarily offers supportive care for autismâusing medications to suppress anxiety, inattention, or aggressive behaviors without providing a cure.
However, homeopathy approaches autism differently. By using the CEASE Therapy protocol (Complete Elimination of Autistic Spectrum Expression), homeopaths view the brain damage caused by early toxic exposure as reversible.
Understanding CEASE Therapy and DetoxCEASE Therapy relies on two cornerstones:
Constitutional Support: Treating the child holistically based on their unique physical and emotional symptoms. Isopathy (Homeopathic Detox): Identifying the specific environmental toxin (such as heavy metals, repeated antibiotics, steroids, or vaccines) that triggered the child's declineâoften noted by parents as the moment their child was "never well since".Even when a toxin physically leaves the body, it leaves an "energetic imprint" on the cells. Homeopathy uses a highly diluted, potentized form of that exact substance to gently signal the body to clear the imprint and reset the nervous system.
Real-Life TransformationsMaha shares two incredible cases showing the depth of homeopathic healing:
The Non-Verbal 10-Year-Old: A highly aggressive, non-verbal boy who suffered from severe insomnia and echolalia (repeating words). After constitutional care and detox, he became calm, started sleeping, stopped hitting, and was able to focus at school. The Impulsive Child: A child with mild autism and severe impulsivity struggled in a private school setting. Following his homeopathic protocol, his speech improved, his impulsivity faded, and he successfully transitioned to a mainstream public school where he now works independently.

Welcome to the 200th episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast! Host Mary Greensmith takes us on a journey through some of the most impactful and inspiring clips from past episodes. Featuring expert homeopaths Tay Henry, Nur Reved, Dee Nicole, Gitanjali Goel, and Ann Lovatt, this special compilation explores how homeopathy addresses chronic conditions by getting to the root of the problem.
Celiac Disease: Healing the GutTay Henry kicks off the episode by discussing celiac disease, an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten. Often misidentified as a simple food intolerance, celiac causes significant degradation of the gut.
While removing gluten is essential, homeopathy acts as a powerful catalyst to heal the underlying damage and restore vital nutrient absorption, which is especially critical for developing children.
Key Remedies Mentioned: Lycopodium (for intense bloating and gas immediately after eating) and China (for profound weakness following fluid loss).
Histamine and Allergic ReactionsNext, Nur Reved breaks down the body's histamine response. Histamine acts as a cellular alarm system, rushing blood to affected areas to flush out toxins (causing itching and hives).
When this system overreacts due to environmental toxins, poor diet, or stress, conventional antihistamines simply block the release of histamine, often causing drowsiness and eventual dependency. Homeopathy takes a different approach: remedies like Histaminum work with the body, signaling it to calm down and remember how to naturally regulate its immune response.
Panic Attacks: The Body's Alarm BellDee Nicole explains that a panic attack is the body's "last resort" to get your attention. It acts like an overly sensitive fire alarm, signaling deep, underlying anxiety or a chronic feeling of being unsafe.
Often, the fear of having a panic attack becomes worse than the attack itself. Homeopathy works to break this cycle of fear, providing remedies that help the body manage the acute moment while simultaneously addressing the deep-seated root cause.
Parasites and Miasmatic SusceptibilityGitanjali Goel sheds light on parasitic infections, noting that many people carry low-grade burdens for years without realizing it. Symptoms often present as fatigue, bloating, skin issues, or teeth grinding in children.
She explains the concept of "miasms"âinherited patterns of susceptibility. If your body's "foundation" is weak, parasites can easily take hold.
Homeopathy strengthens this foundation. Gitanjali also highlights how the lunar cycle (full moons) heavily influences parasite activity and symptom flare-ups.
Psoriasis and Inherited TraumaFinally, Ann Lovatt explores the emotional roots of psoriasis. She notes that the disease often triggers at the site of a physical injury (like a cut or sunburn), but the true cause is typically deep emotional suppression or trauma.
Ann poignantly describes psoriasis as the body developing a "thick skin" to protect against painful emotions. She shares how homeopathy looks beyond the physical, sometimes addressing inherited generational trauma to bring about true healing.

Today, host Mary Greensmith sits down with the wonderful Elisa Joulfaian to go right back to the very basics. If you have ever found yourself asking, "What is homeopathy?", this episode is the perfect starting point to understand this gentle, safe, and highly effective approach to natural health.
Stimulating Your Body's Healing PowerAt its core, homeopathy doesn't just mask symptoms or force the body to change chemically. Instead, it acts as a gentle catalyst to kick-start your own immune system. Elisa explains that symptoms are simply our body's way of communicating that something is out of balance. Instead of quickly suppressing a physical symptom, homeopathy looks deeper to see what your body is trying to tell you.
The Power of "Like Cures Like"One of the most foundational principles of homeopathy is "like cures like" (the Law of Similars). Elisa shares the classic, relatable example of the red onion (Allium cepa). When you chop an onion, it typically makes your eyes water and your nose run. In homeopathy, a highly diluted, energetic form of red onion is used to relieve those exact same symptoms during a cold or allergy flare-up!
Dilution, Potentization, and EnergyUnlike herbal medicine or heavy dietary supplements, which require your liver and digestive organs to actively process them, homeopathic remedies are highly diluted. The original substance (whether from a plant, mineral, or animal source) is diluted so significantly that only its energetic "fingerprint" remains. This makes the tiny white pellets incredibly gentle, inexpensive, and easy to takeâeven for young children and farm animals!
Personalized MedicineThere is no "one size fits all" label in homeopathy. While mainstream medicine might give everyone the exact same cough syrup, homeopathy has hundreds of different remedies for a cough. Your homeopath wants to know exactly how you uniquely experience your symptomsâphysically and emotionallyâto find the perfect energetic match to help your body rebalance.

In this insightful episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary sits down with homeopath Madhavi Naik to discuss a modern epidemic: adrenal fatigue and burnout. They explore why so many high-functioning individuals find themselves completely depleted and how homeopathy offers a unique, individualized path to restoring the body's natural energy and balance.
Understanding Adrenal Fatigue and BurnoutAdrenal fatigue isn't an official medical diagnosis, but rather a collection of symptoms resulting from prolonged stress without adequate recovery. Madhavi explains that burnout is not just physical tiredness; it is a vital force depletion that affects a person mentally, emotionally, and intellectually.
In our modern, overstimulated world, long work hours, excessive screen time, and a lack of downtime prevent our nervous systems from resetting. High-functioning, ambitious individuals, students, and active caregivers are particularly prone to pushing themselves until their bodies simply cannot keep up.
The Medical vs. Homeopathic ApproachWhen a patient visits a conventional doctor for chronic exhaustion, standard blood tests (like liver function or cortisol levels) often return "normal" or inconclusive results. Because there is no official diagnosis, patients are frequently dismissed and simply told to rest or take supplements.
A homeopath, however, looks at the whole person. They dive deep into the emotional causes (stress, grief, mental overload) and observe the patient's unique energy patternsâwhether they are "wired" and pushing through or have completely collapsed.
Individualized Care: Two Contrasting CasesMadhavi shares two powerful cases that illustrate why homeopathy requires personalized prescribing:
The Nux Vomica Case: A male tech worker in his 40s came in with severe bloating, acidity, and constipation. He was juggling multiple time zones, sacrificing sleep, and relying heavily on caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol to cope. He became highly irritable and impatient with his coworkers. After a single dose of Nux Vomica 30c, his emotional irritability calmed first, followed by improved sleep and the slow return of his physical energy. The Phosphoric Acid Case: A woman in her 30s, also in tech, experienced profound exhaustion and apathy after her hard work on a year-long project was ignored. Her disappointment led to total indifferenceâshe stopped engaging at work to the point of risking her job. Unlike the irritable Nux Vomica patient, she was completely drained. After receiving Phosphoric Acid 200c, she began emotionally engaging with her life and work again. The Role of Lifestyle and SupplementsMadhavi notes that while homeopathic remedies balance the vital force, lifestyle changes are essential. Setting boundaries, reducing screen time, practicing gentle movement (like yoga or walking), and ensuring proper nutrition are vital steps to prevent and recover from burnout.
She also clarifies that while caffeine borrows energy from the body, and supplements only address nutritional deficiencies, homeopathy provides the necessary "reset" for a dysregulated nervous system.

Episode Description:
In this inspiring episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary sits down with homeopath Joanna Mikhail to discuss the deep connection between fear, anxiety, and our body's innate ability to heal. Joanna shares insights from her upcoming e-book, Trust Your Body: Remembering How to Heal, and explains how homeopathy helps us shift out of a fear-based state.
The Root of Anxiety: A Fear-Based LifeWhen clients come to Joanna for panic attacks or anxiety, they rarely connect their symptoms to "fear". However, anxiety is fundamentally "fear-based living"âa state where we lose trust in our body's resilience and forget that we live in a time of abundance.
Joanna emphasizes a core homeopathic philosophy: You are not broken, you are not sick, and you do not need to be fixed. Symptoms are simply communication tools. By listening to them instead of suppressing them, we can figure out what the body is trying to tell us.
Differentiating Remedies for AnxietyMany people ask how a homeopath chooses the right remedy when so many (like Phosphorus, Sepia, Nux Vomica, and Arsenicum) cover symptoms like "anxiety about trifles".
Homeopaths look at modalitiesâwhat makes you feel better or worse. They will ask questions like:
Are you thirsty or thirstless? Do you crave salty foods (like Nat Mur) or sweet foods (like Sepia)? Do you freeze, pace the floor, or become talkative when panicked? Do you crave control (like Arsenicum arranging deck chairs on the Titanic), or do you flop and yield to the storm (like Pulsatilla)? The Power of Intuition and ObservationJoanna notes that "intuition" literally means "inner teacher". Homeopathy encourages clients to act like scientists observing their own bodies. The remedy does not "cure" the symptom; it acts as a catalyst, like tuning a piano, giving your vital force the extra energy it needs to heal itself.
As Joanna reminds us, many struggles are just "stages." Homeopathy provides the energetic boost needed so we do not get stuck in them.

In this insightful episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary is joined by homeopath Nora Pettik to discuss a deeply misunderstood and often distressing condition: selective mutism in children. Nora, who originally trained through an intensive apprenticeship in Hungary before bringing formal homeopathic education to her country, shares her unique expertise in working with neurodivergent children and their families.
What is Selective Mutism?Selective mutism is not simply a child being "stubborn" or "shy". It is a complex anxiety disorder where a child is fully capable of speakingâand may even be very chatty with a large vocabulary at homeâbut is completely unable to speak in certain environments, such as at school or with specific people.
Nora explains that these children desperately want to connect. They might whisper to a single chosen friend, use sign language, or play happily with others, but the anxiety surrounding their own voice being heard in that specific setting paralyzes them.
Triggers and Underlying CausesThe root of selective mutism is almost always profound anxiety. Nora highlights several common triggers that can cause a child to retreat into silence:
Significant Life Changes: Moving to a new country or changing schools. Grief and Loss: Losing a trusted friend or a teacher they felt secure with. Sensory Overload: For neurodivergent children, a noisy or chaotic environment can cause them to withdraw entirely. The Homeopathic ApproachIn homeopathy, practitioners do not just target the "not speaking". Instead, they look at the whole pictureâthe child's sleep patterns, eating habits, specific fears, and even small physical symptoms like an eczema patch.
Nora shares a case of a young boy whose mutism was triggered every time he was separated from a friend he felt secure with. By recognizing the underlying grief, Nora prescribed Natrum Muriaticum, which helped him process the loss and gradually regain his voice.
A Journey for the Whole FamilyHealing from selective mutism is a process, often likened to peeling an onion. Nora emphasizes that treating the child often involves supporting the parents as well. Parents frequently carry guilt, wondering if they "messed up," which creates an energetic imbalance in the family dynamic. By treating the whole family, homeopathy helps break this cycle of anxiety and guilt, fostering a calmer, more confident environment for the child to find their voice.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, Mary welcomes back the radiant Felicity Gray. They dive into the sensitive and highly requested topic of fertility, exploring how homeopathy can be a game-changer for couples struggling to conceive naturally or preparing for IVF treatments.
Preparing the Body: The 3-to-4 Month WindowConventional doctors often advise couples to try conceiving for a year before seeking medical intervention. Felicity suggests using this crucial timeâor at least 3 to 4 months prior to trying or starting IVFâto work with a homeopath.
During this window, homeopathy helps to:
Detox the Liver: Clear out old toxins, including residual effects from years of taking the contraceptive pill. Balance Hormones: Naturally regulate estrogen and progesterone to improve cycle health and uterine lining thickness. Improve Egg & Sperm Quality: Both partners should be treated to ensure the healthiest possible genetic material. Can Homeopathy Be Used Alongside IVF?Absolutely! Felicity emphasizes that homeopathy is perfectly safe to use alongside prescribed IVF medications. IVF is a grueling process that involves intense hormonal deregulation and stimulation.
Homeopathy provides critical support during the IVF cycle by:
Managing Hormonal Rollercoasters: Easing the extreme emotional highs of estrogen stimulation and the crashing lows or "PMS-like" symptoms that follow egg retrieval. Healing Physical Trauma: Remedies like Arnica or Bellis Perennis help the ovaries and abdomen recover from the physical trauma of egg harvesting (which can involve multiple punctures). Creating a "Cozy Living Room": Relaxing the uterus to create the best possible environment for embryo implantation. Addressing Secondary Infertility and PCOSFelicity also touches on specific fertility hurdles:
PCOS: Homeopathy can help balance androgens and estrogens. For women with PCOS going into IVF, this balance can prevent the dangerous over-production of poor-quality eggs (sometimes up to 30 at once), focusing the body's energy on producing a few high-quality eggs instead. Secondary Infertility: Often, women struggle to conceive their second child simply because their vital force is depleted. Lack of sleep and constant exposure to nursery viruses leave mothers exhausted. Remedies like Sepia can help restore the immune system and energy levels.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary sits down with homeopath Ritu Kinra Tangri to dive deep into one of the most versatile and frequently prescribed remedies: Calcarea Carbonica. Ritu explains why this remedy, derived from the middle layer of an oyster shell, is a "go-to" for patients of all agesâfrom teething babies to menopausal women.
The "Oyster Shell" PersonalityRitu draws a beautiful parallel between the source of the remedy and the personality of the people who often need it. Just like an oyster, a Calcarea Carbonica individual often has a "hard shell" on the outside. They are highly disciplined, love routine, and work hard to create a secure, defined life for their family.
However, inside that shell lies a soft vulnerability. These individuals (both children and adults) can be deeply fearful of the dark, monsters, or losing their security and financial stability.
The Root Cause: Calcium Bioavailability and the ThyroidWhile Calcarea Carbonica is essentially calcium carbonate, homeopathy doesn't use it as a simple supplement. Ritu explains that the issue isn't a lack of calcium in the diet; it is the body's inability to use it.
Calcium acts as a "door opener" in the body, allowing nerves to fire and hormones to enter cells. When the thyroid and parathyroid glands are sluggish, calcium is not absorbed properly. This sluggishness leads to the classic physical symptoms of the remedy:
In Babies: Delayed milestones (like walking or teething), open fontanelles, soft bones, and cradle cap. Digestion: Constipation and white, chalky, or sour-smelling stools (because unabsorbed calcium remains in the gut). Temperature Regulation: A sweating head (especially at night) coupled with cold, clammy hands and feet due to poor circulation and a slow metabolic rate. Calcarea Carbonica Uses Across AgesRitu shares several compelling cases to illustrate how this remedy works as a catalyst to stimulate the thyroid and parathyroid:
The 10-Month-Old: A baby with open fontanelles, flabby muscles, and severe night sweats saw rapid improvement in strength and digestion after receiving the remedy. The 5-Year-Old: A young girl suffering from recurrent colds, swollen glands, and intense nighttime fears found relief as her immune system and emotional state balanced out. The 47-Year-Old Man: Experiencing shortness of breath, low energy, and work stress, his blood pressure and vitality returned to normal once Calcarea Carbonica addressed his subclinical sluggishness.

Welcome to this episode of Homeopathy 247, where host Mary sits down with guest Colleen Harris to discuss a truly remarkable healing journey. Colleen shares a fascinating case study about a successful businesswoman who suffered from debilitating migraines for nearly three decades. These severe headaches began after the birth of her second child, during a period of immense family and business stress. The migraines would last three to five days every month, accompanied by auras and a desperate need for complete darkness. On top of this, she experienced daily low-grade tension headaches, along with bloating and back pain.
Listening for the Right RemedyTo find the perfect remedy, Colleen conducted a deep, open-ended interview. Instead of just looking at the physical pain, she listened closely to how the woman described her life. The client used very specific phrases, explaining that she was constantly powering through her days in survival mode. She felt she had to rely heavily on her masculine energy to juggle her responsibilities. Most importantly, despite growing up in a large family, she repeatedly described herself as a lone wolf.
This unique language guided Colleen toward an animal remedy. While plant remedies often relate to environmental sensitivity and mineral remedies relate to structure, animal remedies focus heavily on themes of family, group dynamics, and survival. The lone wolf theme led Colleen directly to a rare remedy called Lac Lupinum, which is made from the milk of a female gray wolf.
The Healing Power of LM PotenciesBefore the client even took the remedy, the simple act of telling her story initiated the healing process, and she woke up without her usual daily headache. Once she began taking Lac Lupinum, her progress was beautifully steady. Within a month, her migraines decreased in both frequency and length. Her bloating and back pain soon disappeared, and eventually, even the stubborn temple pain completely faded away.
For this chronic case, Colleen utilized a specific method involving LM or Q potencies. This approach involves taking a highly diluted liquid remedy every day to provide the body with a gentle, consistent nudge toward healing. By succussing or shaking the bottle before each dose, the energy is slightly altered to prevent the body from getting too used to the signal. This technique is incredibly helpful for deeply rooted conditions, proving that true healing is about resolving the root cause rather than just managing symptoms forever. This incredible journey highlights just how deeply homoeopathy can heal.

Welcome to another episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast! Today, Mary sits down with expert homeopath Shada Berechid to discuss a fascinating and empowering branch of holistic health: homeoprophylaxis. If you are looking for natural ways to help your family build resilience and thrive through life's many changes, this episode is for you!
What is Homeoprophylaxis?Homeoprophylaxis is a specialized branch of homeopathy that has been used since the 1800s. Rather than fighting disease, it works by gently educating your immune system. By sending subtle energetic signals to the body, it teaches your system how to respond to environmental threats in a calm, balanced way without overreacting.
The Role of FHCIShada works closely with Free and Healthy Children International (FHCI), a wonderful non-profit organization. FHCI not only guides families and trains practitioners in these protocols, but it also actively collects data to research the effectiveness of homeopathic care. A recent success is their microbiome program, which showed incredible results in balancing gut flora to improve overall physical and emotional health.
Programs for Every Stage of LifeOur immune systems are constantly adapting to new environments, milestones, and stressors. To support this, Shada explains that there are over 10 highly adaptable programs tailored to different life stages:
Early Childhood: Supports babies and toddlers from birth through kindergarten, helping them navigate developmental milestones smoothly. Young Adults: Helps teens manage the physical and emotional stress of moving away to college and gaining independence. Pregnancy: Builds deep immune resilience for both the expecting mother and her growing baby. Travel & Tick Exposure: Prepares your body to adapt to new climates, tropical bugs, or tick-heavy countrysides so you can safely enjoy your vacations. Seniors Health: Empowers older adults to stay active, social, and physically strong. A Complementary ApproachIt is important to note that homeoprophylaxis does not replace conventional medical care. Instead, it is an incredible additional layer of support. By treating the whole personâphysically, mentally, and emotionallyâit helps you adapt to your environment and enjoy a lifetime of balanced health.

In this episode, host Mary is joined by Danilo Tortora, a unique practitioner who combines his backgrounds as a homeopath, psychologist, and former midwife. They explore the rising tide of anxiety in children and how a holistic, psychological approach using homeopathy for panic attack symptoms can provide deep healing.
The Hidden Face of Anxiety in ChildrenAnxiety isn't always obvious in young children because they often lack the words to express their feelings. Danilo explains that it frequently manifests as psychosomatic symptomsâemotional distress that presents in the body. Common signs to watch for include:
Physical Complaints: Recurrent stomachaches and headaches. Behavioral Changes: Irritability, "clinginess," or sudden emotional outbursts and tantrums. Performance Issues: Difficulty concentrating on homework or a "fear of failure". Physical Cues: A racing heart (palpitations) or trembling. Homeopathy vs. Conventional ApproachesUnlike traditional medicine, which may suppress symptoms, Homeopathy247 aims to restore balance to the body's "vital force". Homeopathy looks for the maintaining causeâthe underlying event or environmental factor (like school stress or even mold) that keeps the anxiety active.
Key Remedies for Anxiety and PanicDanilo highlights several remedies based on how a child uniquely responds to stress:
Aconite: For panic that comes on suddenly with intense fear or shock. Argentum Nitricum: For "anticipatory anxiety" involving overthinking, talkativeness, or digestive issues before a big event like school. Gelsemium: For performance anxiety marked by weakness, trembling, and a desire to be quiet. Baryta Carb: Often helpful for shy children who struggle to thrive or have intense fears of loud noises.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary is joined by expert homeopath Robin Gladstone to discuss a topic that touches many families: asthma. They dive into how homeopathy works alongside conventional medicine to provide deep, long-term relief for children and adults.
Understanding Asthma and Its TriggersRobin explains that many cases, especially in children, involve allergic asthma. While winter is often blamed, many children find their symptoms "tick up" in the springtime due to hay fever, pollen, and increased outdoor sports.
Common triggers include:
Exercise: Physical activity frequently brings on coughing or wheezing. Allergens: Sensitivity to cats, milk, or sweets can exacerbate conditions. Environment: Dampness, moldy leaves in the fall, or high pollen counts in spring. Prescribing for the Person, Not Just the FlareA key theme of this episode is that homeopathy for asthma doesn't just treat the "flare" or the emergency; it works at a deeper, constitutional level to change how the body reacts over time.
Alice shares a powerful success story of a 4-year-old boy who frequently visited the hospital for severe wheezing. By using Tuberculinum and LM potencies (gentle daily liquid doses), he was eventually able to have sleepovers at houses with cats without any reaction.
Modern Homeopathic Prescribing: LM Potencies & CompoundingRobin explains specific methods used in her practice:
LM Potencies: Gentle remedies used for chronic conditions, designed to be taken daily to nudge the "vital force" without causing large aggravations. Compounding: Turning pellet remedies into a liquid solution, which is legally required in parts of Canada. Succussing: Shaking the bottle before each dose to slightly "bump up" the potency, keeping the healing response active. Mainstream Medicine and Homeopathy TogetherIt is important to remember that homeopathy is complementary. Alice encourages parents to always use life-saving medications like nebulizers or Advil when needed in emergencies. Homeopathy works alongside these to make the lungs stronger so that, eventually, those emergency medications are needed less and less.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary welcomes back Alice Glendinning to explore the profound impact of homeopathy on depression. They discuss how homeopathy addresses not just the current feelings of low mood, but the deep-seated traumas and inherited susceptibilities that often lie beneath the surface.
Can Homeopathy Help with Depression?Depression is a complex subject with clinical symptoms that vary significantly from person to person. Alice notes that while there are over 5,000 homeopathic remedies available, nearly every one of them includes some form of "low mood" or depression in its profile. The key is finding the specific remedy that matches a patient's unique experience, including their sleeping patterns, appetite, and the timing of their symptoms.
Understanding Triggers and "Energetic" HistoryHomeopaths look beyond the present moment to understand the root cause of depression. Key factors include:
Trauma: Past events, even those from childhood that an adult may not consciously remember, can stay "held" within our cells. Inherited Susceptibility: We carry energetic imprints from previous generations. Depression might "jump" a generation, affecting a grandchild more than a child. Environmental Factors: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a common trigger, especially during dark, damp winters when vitamin D levels are low. Working Alongside Conventional MedicationMany people come to homeopathy because they feel "dampened down" by conventional antidepressants. Alice explains that homeopathy is an energetic medicine that works on a different plane than chemical medications. Patients do not have to choose one or the other; homeopaths can tailor treatment to work safely alongside existing meds by adjusting the potency and frequency of remedies.
Mega Potencies and Opening RemediesAlice shares a fascinating case of a long-term patient whose healing "cracked open" only after using high potencies, specifically a 50M. She highlights several powerful remedies for depression:
Aurum (Gold): A classic remedy for deep, clinical depression. Thuja: Used when there is low self-esteem or a desire to hide one's true self. Lacanum (Dog's Milk): Helpful for those who feel unloved or "faithful to a fault" despite poor treatment. Berlin Wall: An "opening remedy" used for intense darkness or suicidal thoughts.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, host Mary welcomes Dee Nicole, a homeopath with a rich background in energy healing and herbalism. Together, they explore the terrifying experience of panic attacks and how homeopathy offers a gentle path toward true, deep-seated healing.
The Body's Last ResortDee describes a panic attack not just as a sudden symptom, but as the body's "last resort" to get your attention. Much like a sensitive fire alarm, the panic response signals that something underneath the surfaceâoften a long-standing feeling of being unsafeâneeds to be addressed.
Common expressions of panic include:
Physical sensations: Racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, or trembling. The Fear of Death: A firm belief that a heart attack is occurring. Freezing: Being unable to leave the house or drive over a specific bridge. The Homeopathic Approach: Peeling the LayersHomeopathy honors the fact that everyone experiences panic differently. Because of this, two people with "panic attacks" may receive entirely different remedies.
Acute Management: Remedies like Aconite (for sudden fear), Gelsemium (for shaking), and Arsenicum (for a need for control) can help manage the moment. Constitutional Healing: By looking at your dreams, sleep patterns, and history, a homeopath finds a remedy that addresses the core root of the anxiety. Breaking the Pattern: Homeopathy signals the body to stop reverting to habitual fear responses, leading to longer intervals between attacks and a more present way of living. Empowering Tools for the "In-Between"Dee emphasizes the importance of self-support during the healing journey. She recommends:
Conscious Breathing: Inhaling deeply and stating out loud, "I am calm, I am relaxed, I am in control". Mindset Education: Journaling or physical exercise to give anxious energy a productive place to go. Links mentioned in this episode:Visit Dee Nicole's website: https://dinitanicole.com/

In this episode, host Mary is joined by Gitanjali Goel to discuss a topic many find uncomfortable but is surprisingly common: parasites. Gitanjali explains that parasites aren't just an "overseas" problem; many people live with low-grade infestations for years, manifesting as fatigue, bloating, skin issues, or even anxiety.
The Homeopathic Perspective: Symptoms Over TestsWhile conventional medicine relies heavily on stool tests, Gitanjali notes that these often produce false negatives. At Homeopathy247, the focus is on your unique symptoms and "miasmatic" patterns rather than just a positive diagnosis.
Understanding Miasms: Your Biological BlueprintGitanjali uses the analogy of a house to explain miasmsâinherited and acquired patterns of susceptibility:
Psoric Miasm (Deficiency): Like a house with thin walls. The body lacks resources (like low stomach acid) to neutralize organisms early. Healing begins with reinforcement, not removal. Sycotic Miasm (Excess): Like blocked drains. The body can't let go, leading to stagnation (sluggish bile, fluid retention). Syphilitic Miasm (Breakdown): Like compromised structural beams. Parasites appear late as a marker of long-standing dysregulation. The Lunar ConnectionParasites are highly responsive to lunar rhythms. During a Full Moon, symptoms like teeth grinding, anal itching, and insomnia often intensify as parasites become more active and migrate.
Key Homeopathic RemediesGitanjali highlights common remedies used to restore the body's balance:
Cina: Indicated for teeth grinding, irritability, and continuous nose-rubbing in children. Teucrium: Think of this when rectal itching is the main complaint, often worse at night or around the full moon. Spigelia: Helpful when sharp pains or heart palpitations accompany parasitic activity.

In this episode, Mary welcomes back Tay Henry, a family homeopath and nutritional therapist, to discuss the complexities of celiac disease. They explore how blending homeopathy for celiac disease with nutritional guidance can be life-changing for families dealing with autoimmune gut issues.
Understanding Celiac DiseaseCeliac disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system responds abnormally to glutenâthe protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Unlike a simple food intolerance, this immune response causes physical damage to the small intestine and can lead to significant gut degradation if left untreated.
Common Symptoms to Watch For: Bowel Changes: Chronic diarrhea, constipation, or a mix of both. Physical Distress: Abdominal pain, intense bloating, and gas. Developmental Signs: Poor growth or nutrient deficiencies in children due to malabsorption. Systemic Issues: "Brain fog," headaches, and chronic fatigue. The Role of Homeopathy in HealingA major advantage of Homeopathy247 is that practitioners focus on the totality of symptoms rather than waiting for a formal diagnosis to provide relief. While removing gluten is essential, homeopathy supports the body's "memory" and helps the gut heal more effectively.
Key Remedies Mentioned: Lycopodium: Often indicated for intense bloating and gas immediately after eating. China: Helpful for the "weak state" and fluid loss following chronic diarrhea. Mag Phos: Excellent for cramping pains that feel better with warmth or doubling over. A Plan for Long-Term ResilienceTay emphasizes that using homeopathy for celiac disease alongside a nutritional plan helps build long-term resilience. By identifying triggers through food diaries and health timelines, families can move from a state of weakness back to vibrant health.

In this episode of the Homeopathy247 podcast, Mary welcomes Noel Ravid, joining from the historic home of homeopathy, Berlin, Germany. Noel shares her deep research into histamineâa molecule that is both essential for our protection and a source of great distress when it overreacts.
The Role of Histamine in the BodyHistamine is not just a nuisance; it is a vital transmitter that acts as the body's first alert system. It protects us by:
Starting the Reaction: Bursting out of cells to signal an immediate immune response. Increasing Blood Flow: Bringing vital resources to the site of a perceived threat, which often manifests as the "itchiness" or hives (urticaria) we see on the skin. Regulating Daily Functions: Affecting alertness in the brain, acidity in the gut, and response in the lungs. Why Do We Overreact?Many people today suffer from histamine overload or "overreactiveness". Noel explains that this is often due to a combination of factors:
Genetic Components: Our DNA plays a significant role in how our bodies process this molecule. Environmental Factors: Modern pollution, chemicals, and pesticides (even on "fresh" supermarket produce) create a constant burden on our systems. Lifestyle Choices: Highly processed foods and a lack of connection to nature can further disrupt our natural balance. Homeopathic Histamineum vs. AntihistaminesConventional antihistamines work by blocking receptors in the body to stop the release of histamine. While this provides relief, it often leads to side effects like sleepiness because it disrupts the neurotransmitters responsible for alertness.
Homeopathy247 practitioners use the remedy Histamineum differently. Instead of blocking the body, it has a "conversation" with it, reminding the body how to react appropriately. It can be used:
In Acute Flares: To match symptoms of intense itching, burning, and extreme restlessness. As Organ Support: To help the body "drain" or clear a histamine overload after years of medication. Key Symptoms of HistamineumIf you are considering this remedy, look for these "keynotes":
Restlessness and Irritability: A fast-paced feeling where you have "no time" and must keep moving for relief. Dryness: Unlike typical hay fever, the mucous membranes (mouth, eyes) feel intensely dry. Burning Sensations: Often felt in the head, face, chest, or even during urination. Links mentioned in this episode:Visit Nur Reved's website: https://www.heilpraktiker-naturopath-berlin.com/

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system becomes "confused" and begins attacking healthy skin cells. This triggers a chain reaction of inflammation that causes skin cells to turn over at an incredibly fast rateâsometimes over a single day rather than several weeks. Because the body cannot shed these cells quickly enough, they pile up on the surface, creating the characteristic thick, scaly, and dry patches.
The Genetic and Emotional ConnectionAnn highlights that between 60% and 90% of people with psoriasis have a family history of the condition, suggesting a strong genetic susceptibility. However, the disease often remains dormant until a "pivotal moment" or trigger occurs. These triggers can be:
Physical Trauma: Surgical incisions, tattoos, or injuries to the skin. Infections: Strep throat or other respiratory infections. Emotional Stress: Significant life traumas, grief, or suppressed anger.Ann notes that skin can act as a "thick skin" or a protective shell for people who have experienced deep emotional pain, shielding them from difficult emotions that are too painful to touch.
How Homeopathy247 Differs from Conventional MedicineWhile mainstream medicine often uses "sledgehammer" approaches like steroid creams to suppress surface symptoms, homeopathy focuses on the mind-body connection.
Individualization: Two people with psoriasis may receive completely different remedies based on their unique triggers and emotional state. Layered Healing: Ann describes healing as an onion peeling or a flower opening, where remedies address layers of suppression and detoxify the body from past medications. Patience is Key: Because psoriasis is deep-seated, healing is a slow process that requires time and a safe space to explore the root causes. Evidence and MeasurementFor those seeking scientific reassurance, Ann points to the Homeopathic Research Institute and specific clinical measurements used in trials. These include the PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index), which scores redness, thickness, and scaling, and the Monarch score, which helps determine if the improvement was specifically caused by the homeopathic remedy rather than coincidence.
