Myrrh, Sacred Soul - this time of year always brings my mind to Archetypes of the Festive Season. One being, Myrrh brought to jesus by one of the Three Kings. For centuries it has been used in rituals of mourning, preservation, and prayer. Did you know it was a homeopathic remedy? I believe a remedy for this time of worldly unrest and seeking spiritual and religious paths to find calm in these traumatic times.
The Inner World of Myrrh - Jan Schloten sees the remedy as “a state shaped by penitence — not as punishment, but as a deep longing to restore balance. There is often a feeling of having turned too far toward worldly matters, away from purity or spiritual truth, and an unconscious need to atone”. Aliments may come from the suffering of the world. War, trauma, injustice, cruelty — leaving a sense of hopelessness and quiet grief.

Myrrh is soft, sacred, and tender. Clairvoyant — an intuitive, sensitivity. They are carers by nature: giving, helping, serving. Sweet, sympathetic, deeply caring.
Yet this softness comes with weight. There is often guilt from family deaths, a deep sense of responsibility, and a need to “make things right.” They are ambitious and perfectionistic, but never satisfied — nothing is ever good enough. They are hardest on themselves.

Convolvulus – Moonflower Homeopathic Remedy
With the full moon 🌝 tomorrow it got me thinking is there a flower called moon… and there is! Of course it’s our remedy Convolvulus. It’s known to only open its petals in darkness. It waits for the cooling of the world and dim light, before it reveals itself.
Which reflects the remedy state: an individual sensitive, overwhelmed, fragile from its shadow self 🌸

Yakir and Schloten both have wonderful remedy pictures stating - Convolvulus is a remedy of contrasts: spirit versus body, euphoria versus despair, vision versus confusion. It belongs to those who feel stretched thin by life, unsure of who they are, and pulled between the desire to transcend and the reality of their own nervous system.

Convolvulus state may appear euphoric, bright, even spiritually charged. There can be moments of intense internal power or uplift, as though the spirit is momentarily freed from the confines of form.
However the nervous system is too fragile to hold the light.
Individuals experience tension between their inner, spiritual world and the heaviness of their physical life. They long for purity.
Other themes…
••Hypersensitivity < worse noise & 💡
•• Hallucinogenic// Fear of losing the mind
“I am going insane.” With many delusions
•• Dreamlike consciousness
A defining feature of Convolvulus is an altered state of awareness:
– dreamy, absent-minded, drifting
– feeling “not quite here”
– as if living behind a veil
– as if watching oneself from the outside

November lectures for our Year 4 students included a half day immersion (yes, pun intended) into the Gemstone remedies guided by lecturer and homeopath Kirstin Bruges: "It’s always a joy to lecture at the NWCH on the gemstone remedies. It is wonderful to share how this group of remedies can hold such deep healing potential for patients. Gemstones are truly transformative— unlocking and unburdening imbalances to create flow again. Students at NWCH are always curious and a pleasure to teach. I learn from them too!” Thanks Kirstin. If you'd like to hear more from Kirstin she has a Rhodonite blog here: https://www.kirstinbrugeshomeopathy.com/post/rhodonite-homeopathic-gemstone

Last weekend was all about Gemstones - teaching at here is just one of the many we discussed… 💎 Rhodonite in crystal healing is said to support the respiratory system, improve circulation, and aid detoxification. It’s also believed to strengthen the heart, support the hearing organs, and even aid fertility.
Birthstone: Often connected with Ta**us (and sometimes Virgo) — grounding earth-sign energy.

Blog post here - https://www.kirstinbrugeshomeopathy.com/post/rhodonite-homeopathic-gemstone

As a homeopathic remedy, Rhodonite is described as a medicine for those who desire wealth but pursue it with aggression or selfishness. It helps cultivate generosity and self-sacrifice.

Indicate for people who are doing all the “right” things but can’t get ahead materially — opening their flow to abundance. Spiritually, it’s linked with compassion, selflessness, and the willingness to endure hardship for one’s beliefs or the greater good.

Physically, it’s considered a powerful energiser, especially useful for trauma — much like Arnica.

☕ Estrogen, MCAS & Coffee in your Follicular Phase

During this phase we see our bodies follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) stimulating the ovarian follicles to mature and produce estrogen. As estrogen rises: the uterine lining thickens, fertile cervical mucus increases, energy and mood often improve… what has that got to do with coffee??

•• Well we know that…
Estrogen and histamine share the same receptor (H1). When estrogen rises, mast cells release histamine. Histamine then signals the ovaries to make more estrogen… creating a cycle of estrogen → histamine → estrogen → histamine.

Not fun for estrogen dominant ladies… so can my coffee help or hinder me? I have been thinking about why and when I crave coffee… and interestingly the follicular phase might be a time to grab that coffee!

Here’s where coffee might help:
Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (NIH) found that caffeine can influence estrogen levels differently depending on race and the drink type:
• White women → coffee was linked to lower estrogen
• Asian women → coffee was linked to higher estrogen
• African American women → results were unclear
• Green tea & soda → raised estrogen in all groups

Why the difference?
Caffeine and estrogen share the same metabolic pathway — the CYP1A2 enzyme. Variations in this enzyme affect how you break down both caffeine and estrogen, which may explain why responses differ by race and individual genetics.

If you experience estrogen dominance, enjoying a cup of coffee in your follicular phase may be the prefect time!

🌺Fancy Saffron Rice for dinner? I have been craving a beautiful saffron rice curry 🍛 for mine… this brings my thoughts to the remedy Crocus (saffron is made from Crocus!) Also known as the autumn crocus flower, it was used historically for dysmenorrhoea (painful me**es) and irregular periods. Also as a natural antidepressant and nerve tonic in traditional Persian, Greek, and Ayurvedic medicine.
    •    Ancient texts describe saffron as a “heart’s cheerer” — calming melancholy, lifting spirits, and promoting emotional balance.
    •    Traditionally prescribed for anxiety, hysteria, nervous tension, and insomnia.  

In Homeopathy, Yakir states an individual requiring Crocus as embodying the archetype of the Performer, a being of vivid emotional colour, who lives life as theatre — spontaneous, expressive, mercurial, and yearning to be seen. Beneath the laughter and the sparkle lies a tender soul, afraid of being forgotten or unloved.

They move between delight and despair, affection and anger, their moods as changeable as light on water. Their energy is contagious: they dance, sing, talk, and charm their way into hearts, but the same intensity can erupt into irritation, tears, or remorse when misunderstood.

Note Schloten puts Crocus in stage one and phase one - Impulsive, is the energy

🌺Changeable – Expressive – Theatrical – Mercurial – Artistic – Attention-seeking – Affectionate – Restless – Remorseful – Childlike – Charming – Volatile – Sensitive

Spotlight Remedy: Pomegranate (Punica Granatum)
Part of the Lythraceae family, the Pomegranate is an ancient symbol of fertility, beauty, and eternal life. In Greek and Persian mythology, it was sacred to goddesses such as Demeter, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Athena — embodying cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
In Christian art, the Virgin and the Pomegranate links the fruit to chastity, sacrifice, and resurrection — its red seeds seen as Christ’s blood, its abundance as unity and fertility. Also appear like ruby gemstones in the fruit…
Benefits and research has shown uses for the potent fruit… interesting to note it is said to be best eaten in your follicular phase!
• PCOS support: Improves insulin sensitivity, helps regulate reproductive hormones, and reduces chronic inflammation.
• Antioxidant & anti-inflammatory: Rich in compounds like ellagic acid, with anticancer potential.
• Breast health: Shown to influence hormonal receptors in hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells.
Symbolism in Tarot
Pomegranates appear behind the High Priestess, who embodies the sacred feminine, intuition, and the mysteries of the subconscious. The fruit here symbolises fertility, hidden knowledge, and the cycles of life and death. Like Persephone’s descent into the underworld, it represents crossing thresholds, initiation, and returning with deeper wisdom. Mirroring the homeopathic essence of Punica granatum: navigating the tension between purity and passion.
Homeopath Jan Schloten states…
Those needing Punica granatum often feel inherently special, longing to be recognised for beauty, refinement, and culture. They have a strong aesthetic sensitivity and recoil from rudeness, aggression, or violence — especially male violence.
