This week’s Member in the Spotlight, Dr Bishan Paul Singh Chohan, combines homeopathy with conventional medicine providing a holistic and integrative approach to healing for his patients. In 1996 Paul attended a consultation with his brother-in-law which challenged his view of homeopathy and he went on to take a sabbatical from medicine to train at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital.

“For the last thirty years, I have continued to study with leading homeopaths globally and to practise homeopathy alongside medicine as a core pillar of my integrative medical practice. Alongside clinical practice, I remain actively involved in clinical research and outcome-based inquiry, using careful observation and analysis to refine how different modalities work together. I value open dialogue, with patients and with colleagues across different traditions, as an essential part of an evolving and meaningful practice”.

Euspongia officinalis, also known as the Greek bathing sponge, is far more than a household item. It plays an important role in marine ecosystems.

Sponges filter many times their own body volume in seawater each hour, making them among the ocean’s most efficient natural filtration systems.
They contribute to water clarity by removing bacteria and organic particles, provide shelter for marine organisms, support biodiversity, and act as indicators of environmental balance.

From sustaining ocean life to its traditional use in homeopathy, the journey of the sea sponge takes a fascinating turn.
In many ways, this humble sea sponge has an affinity with the human heart.
Homeopathically it is known as spongia tosta and is traditionally described as having a particular relationship to the respiratory passages, glandular tissues, and circulation.

It is associated with symptom patterns such as:
- A dry, barking or sawing type cough
- Marked sensitivity or dryness in the throat
- A sensation of tightness or breathlessness that may feel worse when lying down

In homeopathy remedies are selected individually according to the principle of similars. When a person’s overall symptom picture corresponds to a remedy profile, the preparation is traditionally understood to support the body’s natural self-regulating processes.

The sea sponge reminds us that nature often holds unexpected connections between the natural world and human experience.
And sometimes the most unexpected sources invite us to look at health in new ways.

Some of our members come to a crossroads in life where they need to choose between homeopathy and another potential career they are interested in. Our latest Member in the Spotlight, Dr Amruta Shailendra Vaishampayan, had to choose between a lucrative hospital management career and homeopathy. Amruta chose homeopathy after being inspired by mentor and husband Dr Shailendra Vaishampayan.

“When I had to choose between a lucrative hospital management career and caring for the needy through homoeopathic medicine, I chose homoeopathy and resigned. Today, after twenty-two years of married life and twenty-two years of shared practice, I feel grateful to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives each day”.

Nothing is wrong, yet staying feels impossible…

Sometimes the need for change arises within.
Not because something is failing, but because something may suddenly feel slightly out of alignment.
There can be a sense of being in between, no longer settled where one is, and not yet clear about where to go next.
This state may be accompanied by inner restlessness, a gentle but persistent pull toward movement, new experiences, or new possibilities, even in the absence of a clear direction.

In homeopathic literature, Calcarea phosphorica is associated with this pattern, where the impulse for change is experienced as an inner movement rather than a conscious decision. There may be dissatisfaction with the present situation, alongside a need to move on, to explore, to travel, or to begin something new.

Settling can feel difficult. Stability may no longer feel nourishing, but restrictive. Remaining still may feel more uncomfortable than allowing movement to unfold.
This does not necessarily reflect impatience or avoidance. Rather it may express an inner developmental process still in progress, a need for experience, direction, and inner alignment before a sense of rest can be reached.
From a homeopathic perspective, Calcarea phosphorica illustrates how change may emerge as a natural developmental impulse, inviting movement and growth.

Change does not always announce itself loudly.

Sometimes it arrives quietly, unfolds slowly, and settles deep within.
Life continues and circumstances shift.
For some individuals, change is not met with outward reaction or visible resistance, but with silent endurance.

Experiences are processed inwardly, often privately, supported by composure and self-reliance.
Within homeopathic thinking, Natrum muriaticum is described in the literature in connection with such experiences, as a recognisable pattern of adaptation that may come into view when emotional balance is under strain.
This way of describing patterns reflects a clinical and observational framework, focusing on how the individual seeks to maintain inner coherence when circumstances require adjustment. Rather than reaching outward for support, the response may involve turning inward, conserving emotional resources in order to preserve stability.

Feelings are contained rather than expressed, and vulnerability is carefully guarded, not as withdrawal, but as self-protection during periods of transition.
Within homeopathic literature, Natrum muriaticum has traditionally been associated with experiences of loss, separation, or unexpressed grief.
Change may feel particularly demanding when it involves letting go of what has been deeply meaningful. What can appear as emotional distance often functions as an effort to maintain balance while adaptation is still unfolding.

From a homeopathic perspective, remedies are understood within a holistic and individualised framework, guided by the principle of similars. Natrum muriaticum is often used as an example of how the organism may respond to change by conserving emotional strength when adaptive capacity feels challenged.
Within this framework, responses to change are understood not as signs of rigidity or avoidance, but as meaningful attempts to maintain balance. Integration and renewal are supported when the individual is met with respect for their inner process, rather than pressure to move on before they are ready.

Our newest Member in the Spotlight, Dr Jamie Oskin, was initially sceptical of homeopathy “because it seemed unusual” despite being a student at naturopathic medical school at the time. Jamie soon came to discover, though unusual, homeopathy was effective when Belladonna cured his costochondritis.

“When I was in my 3rd year of ND school, I had my first homœopathic materia medica course. At the time, I was experiencing very intense rib pain (costochondritis) that had failed to resolve with conservative care. After class one day, I approached the professor, Dr. Eric Udell, ND and asked him if my pain could be helped by homœopathy. He recommended that I come to see him in the clinic and after treating me with Belladonna 30c, the pain that I had been having for weeks, magically went away. I thought to myself, “I have to learn homœopathy!”.

For some individuals, change activates a strong need to perform, to take control, and to appear capable.

New responsibilities, unfamiliar roles, or increased expectations can bring underlying insecurity to the surface, particularly when there is a fear of not being good enough or of failing when it truly matters.

In homeopathy, Lycopodium reflects a pattern of adaptation. It is not understood as a fixed personality type, but as a dynamic state that may emerge when confidence is challenged under pressure.

Outwardly, there may be competence, decisiveness, or authority.
Inwardly, doubt, fear, and uncertainty may persist.
Change can feel especially demanding when it involves leadership, visibility, or responsibility. To compensate for inner insecurity, there may be an increased reliance on control, planning, or intellectual mastery.

What appears as confidence or assertiveness may function as a protective strategy within the organism’s attempt to maintain equilibrium, helping the individual preserve stability in the face of perceived inadequacy.

From a homeopathic perspective, remedies are understood within a holistic and individualised framework, guided by the principle of similars.
Lycopodium illustrates how the organism responds to change by mobilising effort and control when adaptive capacity feels threatened.
This perspective highlights that responses to change are meaningful adaptive responses aimed at preserving balance.
Sustainable adaptation arises when confidence is supported from within, rather than maintained through performance alone.

Dr Neeraj Mohan, our latest Member in the Spotlight, grew up watching his father and grandfather practicing homeopathy, but did not pursue homeopathy just to continue the family tradition. “As I studied the philosophy and principles more deeply and began treating patients myself, I developed my own conviction in its holistic, gentle, and individualised patient centred care. Today, homeopathy is not just my profession but a conscious choice and lifelong commitment to serving patients”.
