Having always been interested in natural healing art, as well as benefiting from homeopathic treatment for my own health problems related to a weak immune system, I decided to pursue a holistic career. The prospect for change called when I moved to California in 2009 from Germany where I worked for eight years as an optometrist. Dealing with eye related problems gave me the opportunity to work closely with people and to get to know their health issues, but I had the feeling that wasn’t the only thing I could do in order to help people, nor the best way to develop my expertise in a career I love. Therefore I pursued studying homeopathy and massage therapy and became certified in both.
Practicing homeopathy for the last several years in the Bay Area has allowed me to improve my skillset to help people regain a greater balance in life, and inspire them towards developing a partnership with their own healing. In addition I can offer bilingual service in English and German.
Serving people as a homeopath and effectively treating their mental, emotional, and physical ailments combined is like giving the gift of healing!
Migraine Case
A 21 year old woman comes in with heavy migraines. They don’t allow her to function at all due to the severity of the pain. There is a lot of tension. It is worse from movement, light, and the smell of cigarette smoke, which makes her nauseous to the point of vomiting. Sleeping deeply for long periods and smoking marijuana somewhat help to cope with the pain.
She describes in detail many environmental and physical sensitivities, and a history of mental and physical restlessness which had been treated with Ritalin in the past.
She states she has lots of anger, and says she gets first snarky but quickly progresses to loud screaming and getting really mean. This is a high level of anger. She also talks about protecting herself and holding it in.
Her digestion is troubling her. She gets stomach pain almost every morning and gets really nauseated. Other than applying pressure to her abdomen which makes her feel a little bit better, only vomiting or using the bathroom really help. But once she passes stool, an incomplete feeling remains. Smoking cigarettes or drinking coffee makes it better and help her to go to the bathroom.
The remedy that cured her symptoms was Nux vomica, given in various LM potencies. Though not every case with a long history of allopathic drugging, combined with a continued dependency on stimulants requires Nux vomica, in her case all the keynotes pointed strongly to this remedy. Once started on Nux vomica daily to counteract the other substances she indulged in, over time her dependency on these diminished greatly. Her physical and mental symptoms improved tremendously so that she was able to find her focus in life again.
