You can learn the principles of homeopathy. But when do you begin to understand why they fit together?

While preparing a lecture on Psora, Denise revisited notes from 15 or 16 years ago and realized how much her own understanding had deepened. That sparked a bigger question: can we move from simply doing homeopathy to truly thinking homeopathically?

This episode explores what deeper understanding can look like—and the difference between going deeper into homeopathy and simply adding more to it.

Along the way: Hahnemann’s theory of Psora and chronic disease; miasms in homeopathy; infection and inheritance; the Organon and The Chronic Diseases; the law of similars; potentization and Hahnemann’s alchemical influences; metaphor versus mechanism; and how deeper study can shape the way we practice homeopathy.
