Kate:

This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 153, with Joette Calabrese.

Joette:

Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all.

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®.

Introduction: Homeopathic Stramonium for Violent Tendencies

Kate: (01:00 )

Hi, and welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled to be here with you today as we explore the wisdom and real-life applications of Practical Homeopathy® with Joette, where homeopathy is distilled down to be practical and accessible to moms, dads, grandparents, and even busy college students and skeptical uncles who just want results.

Joette has spent her decades teaching families how to take the reins of their health using time-tested homeopathic protocols that are simple, effective, and most importantly, doable.

Hi, Joette.

Joette:

Hi, Kate. We’ve got an interesting case to go over today, haven’t we?

Kate:

Yes, we do.

So, we’re going to talk about how to find the right medicine. So, turning the tables a little bit. I think you are going to ask me some questions about a case that I’ve encountered recently.

So, let’s get started.

The Emotional Case of a Young Man

Joette: (01:57 )

Yes. As I recall, this was a case of a young man, right?

Kate:

Right. Yes.

Joette:

And he had some behavioral problems. Kate, why don’t you explain what behavioral and plaguing thoughts and then an interesting history.

Kate:

Right. So, we’re going to focus on some of the emotional components of this case. There are some other things that came into play, but as you say, Joette, “Look at what symptoms are the most prominent.” And it’s clear in this case that the emotional component was definitely the most serious — the most dire — of the symptoms. So, I’ll talk a little bit about it.

There was some violent thoughts, like wanting to kick people — so, almost rage. And the person was embarrassed by the fact that they’re thinking this. They don’t know where it’s come from, but it was really plaguing thoughts of just wanting to reach out in anger.

And I don’t know if this person actually kicked the door at one point or not, but it was pretty severe as far as the almost depression and the rage.

Joette:

And he was about how he wanted to do that. He wanted to hurt someone.

Kate:

Yes.

Joette:

He wanted to kick someone or harm someone, and it turned out that he kicked the door. But that’s as far as he went, at least as far as we know.

Kate:

Right. Yeah. I don’t think it was action as much as just those plaguing thoughts.

Joette:

Plaguing thoughts. Right.

So, how has this case opened, Kate?

Kate:

The person is someone that has used homeopathy on and off for years. So, they did, at one point, take Camphor.

Joette:

So, this is a person whose mother has been using homeopathy on and off for years.

Kate:

Yeah. Correct.

Joette:

Right. It’s in his blood of sorts. He knows enough to start thinking this through and asking for some help homeopathically.

Kate:

Right. And when the mother started thinking about it, she realized that at one point her son had a head injury, and so that played into it. But even though it was a pretty prominent head injury, where there was actually some broken bones in the back …

Joette:

And so, do we know how long ago that injury occurred before the case was taken regarding these?

Kate:

I think it was about a year or so.

Joette:

Okay. My guess is, if the mom knew — I’m just going to take a guess on this, and correct me if I’m wrong — she knows enough homeopathy, she probably treated that injury.

Kate:

Yes.

Joette:

At the time, correct?

Kate:

Correct.

Joette:

With Arnica first and then Natrum sulphuricum next, and that kind of thing, right?

Arnica for Head Injuries

Kate: (04:18 )

Correct. Yes. So just if people are wondering, Arnica is so good for so many things, but head injuries is one of them.

Is that what you normally go to first?

Joette:

Yes. It’s the first thing we think of for hematomas and the shock of it. Pain, of course, but especially hematomas. That’s the concern that we most have. Yes.

Kate:

Okay. So yes, that was a long time ago, and now there are these emotional components that are coming to the fore.

Stramonium for Violent Tendencies

Joette: (04:45 )

So, when the mom was taking the case — essentially, she was taking the case, and she was relaying to you — that she looked at violent tendency.

Now we don’t know whether or not he was actually violent (but for the kicking of the door). Right? But he talked about how he wanted to punch someone or kick someone and harm to someone.

Kate:

Right.

Joette:

Yes.

Kate:

Right. And so, she looked up in the repertory under “Mind-Emotions and VIOLENT.” And I know you talk about how the remedy Stramonium is pretty prominent when there are violent behaviors.

Joette:

It certainly fits. It fits that, for sure.

But now let’s look at what Stramonium also represents. It represents a shock to the system.

Buster, when he got that injection from the vet, went into a Stramonium state. (I’ve talked about this before. I’ve written about it. Actually, it was a Monday Night Live that I talked about it.) That injection was a shock to the system, and that’s the way I saw it.

Shortly after that, within weeks or so, he became a very violent dog. He’d never been violen
