Monitoring the

Remedy

Thorough - Time-tested - Clinical

Do you know how to tell if an herbal remedy is working? 

How do we know if an herbal remedy is working?

In Monitoring the Remedy, Matthew goes into the history of homeopathic and herbal assessment skills to help practitioners feel more confident in their ability to observe symptoms accurately, find the right herb, and respond to a client’s reactions appropriately.  These historic “laws” and his commitment to specific indications have helped Matthew create, maintain, and grow his successful practice, as well as successfully serving his clients for years. 
Topics covered include:
  • When to give the first dose
  • Pulse testing
  • Monitoring the eyes and skin
  • Tongue assessment
  • Homeopathy
  • Law of Similars and Law of Contraries
  • Law of Direction of Cure/Hering’s Law
  • Law of Healing Crisis
  • Hippocrates
  • Gentian and self-doubt
  • Detoxification through elimination diet
  • Extracting herbs in different percentages of alcohol
  • Assessing children
  • Acute vs. constitutional issues
  • Building confidence in a client
  • Navigating reactions of sensitive people
  • Lobelia
  • Yarrow and protection
Later in class, Matthew answers many questions that are on the minds of many herbal practitioners, including: 

  • How do you know if the reaction is the remedy and not just the alcohol from the tincture? (if using tinctures)
  • How long do you suggest giving a remedy to see if it is “working” or is it always dependent on the herb and constitution of the client?
  • How do you make progress with clients who have difficulty acknowledging/describing changes within themselves after beginning a remedy, or who say "I don't know" to all of your evaluating questions?
  • Can you explain your method of testing remedies at a distance using the name of the herb written on a piece of paper and held in the left hand?
  • How do you determine the wrong remedy versus too high a dose causing an aggravation?
