One Book For Under A Tree
The idea of a therapeutic guide is to find practical and efficient ways to select a homeopathic remedy for practitioners predominantly working in a busy, clinical environment.

Arnica in my Backpack
My husband and I were on a bike packing trip in 2021 on the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail that runs 150 miles from Cumberland, Maryland to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Because we were biking from one bed and breakfast to the next, I had all my remedies with me on the bike. My helmet hung from my handlebars, as I usually only cared about wearing it when riding on a street. What I never expected was a fall from my riding partner bumping my bicycle. We were somewhat new to riding ebikes in 2021. I went down in what seemed like slow motion, and my unprotected head hit a log, and the force split open the skin on the side of my forehead.

Why I am a student of Homeopathy
Homeopathy is fascinating! I was lucky enough to have been exposed to the wonders of homeopathy 12 years ago when my oldest son was a baby with chronic wheezing. Looking for a better solution than the cookie-cutter answers my pediatrician gave every week, I changed to a holistic pediatrician who didn’t let his ego get in the way of helping his patients. He understood that my precious little baby needed the steroids and breathing treatments in order to breathe, but that it wouldn’t address the root issue. He suggested seeing a homeopathic practitioner.

The Vital Force
The Vital Force is the unseen animating force that brings life to the body, maintaining a state of homeostasis and doing all the ridiculously complicated life processes behind the scenes while we go about our day.

On the Horizon
Can you guess the homeopathic remedy? Low, slow, and mystical. She woke to a blanket of white creeping over the hills, the kind of October morning where the potential is almost palpable.
