Heilkunst treats the Body, Mind and Emotions

Sound health is not the absence of symptoms, it is instead the ability to express who you are to its highest and deepest degrees much like the harmonious melody played by a well-tuned instrument.

FALL ALLERGIES - Meaning & What to Do

From a spiritual-scientific view according to Rudolf Steiner, allergies may reflect a difficulty in harmonizing with the life forces that stream toward us from the world. Instead of meeting these forces openly and transforming them into inner strength, the body resists, reacting with agitation and defense. When we are bound in stress and the nervous system is overstrained, this imbalance becomes sharper. Allergies can then be understood as the soul’s struggle to find peace with the gifts of nature.

Psorinum is the fall miasmatic remedy! Aside from being the underlying factor for most fall allergies. It also helps to resolve all kinds of deficiencies that create anxiety, stress and worry such as weak digestion, skin problems like eczema, mild depression, to name a few!

German New Medicine adds that allergies often trace back to an unresolved emotional imprint, a “track” laid down during a moment of shock or separation. When the body later encounters the same substance — pollen, food, or dust — it remembers the conflict and reacts. In both views, stress and an overstrained nervous system intensify this imbalance, making it harder to meet life openly. Allergies, then, point us not only to physical sensitivity, but also to the soul’s journey toward integration and healing.

At a physical level, allergies stem from the congestion of the liver and kidneys which filter toxins.   Supporting these organs and the bowel is essential for your immune system. The lungs are the dumping ground of the bowels when they are overloaded.

Homeopathy restores harmony between inner life and outer world, teaching the organism to meet its environment with balance rather than overreaction.

FLU PREVENTION & TREATMENT

Seasonal flu, colds, and viral infections test the immune system in different ways. Homeopathy offers both preventive support and acute care when symptoms begin.

• Oscillococcinum – often taken at the very first hint of flu (chills, achiness, fatigue).

• Gelsemium – for flu that comes on with weakness, heaviness, droopy eyelids, and a strong desire to lie down.

• Eupatorium perfoliatum – when bone and muscle aches feel as though the body has been beaten or broken.

• Bryonia – for flu with painful dry cough, dryness, and a desire to stay still, as movement worsens all discomfort.

• Belladonna – for sudden high fever, flushed face, and throbbing headache.

In addition, constitutional homeopathy — a deeper, individualized treatment that strengthens a person’s overall vitality, reducing susceptibility to illness is recommended.

Tips for the Body: The Physical Dimension

For Immune Strength

• Hydrate well – water and herbal teas keep mucous membranes moist, making it harder for viruses to take hold.

• Rest deeply – sleep is one of the best immune boosters. Aim for a consistent bedtime routine.

• Move gently – yoga, stretching, tai chi, and walking in nature reduce stress and keep circulation strong.

• Seasonal herbs and spices – ginger, garlic, turmeric, and echinacea offer time-tested immune support.

• Vitamin D and sunlight – even in cooler months, safe sun exposure helps regulate immunity and mood.

A Healing Story

Anna, a 34-year-old teacher, came for help with severe hay fever. Every spring she battled watery eyes, constant sneezing, and exhaustion. Antihistamines dulled her symptoms but left her groggy.

In conversation, she shared that her allergies had begun shortly after a painful breakup years earlier. The relationship had ended suddenly in May — at the height of blooming season. Since then, the return of spring always felt bittersweet, and her body seemed to “remember” the loss.

Her symptoms pointed toward Allium cepa for the physical picture, but her restlessness, anxiety at night, and lingering sense of insecurity fit Arsenicum album more closely. This remedy matched her both physically and emotionally.

After a few weeks on the remedy, Anna noticed not only a reduction in her sneezing and watery eyes, but also a surprising emotional lightness. She described feeling less trapped in the past and more open to new beginnings.

From a GNM perspective, the remedy helped her dissolve the old separation track connected to springtime. From Steiner’s view, it restored balance between her inner rhythm and the life forces of the season. From the homeopathic view, it allowed her body and soul to shift back into harmony.

In Summaryy:

• GNM teaches us that allergies can be unresolved emotional memories.

• Steiner shows us that they may reflect a struggle between the individual soul and the life forces of nature.

• Both suggest that stress and tension make us more reactive. Healing begins when we meet life openly — transforming what comes from outside into inner strength.

• Homeopathy bridges both, bringing relief on the physical level and integration on the emotional and spiritual level.

" Over the week I am sleeping deeper, which is very nice, and pooping more regularly. Though several times it was loose. I'm still experimenting. Two things I've noticed that are very positive: I'm sleeping more deeply and going to sleep fairly quickly, and I'm not groggy in the morning. Even when I don't get as much sleep because of being up later and needing to get up earlier. The Vitality remedy seems to be fine by itself and the Calm is fine by itself."  Kathryn

“The body may tire and the mind may doubt, but the spirit holds a light that no weight can dim — it is the quiet power that lifts us beyond limits.”
