Strength THE DEEPEST OF CORRECTIVE AND CURATIVE HEALTHCARE HAS been found in what is called constitutional homeopathic treatment. This level of homeopathic care actually activates our inner constitutions to be stronger. Homeopathic constitutional remedies improve our innate functions, correcting many of the weaknesses or predispositions to disease we have acquired in our life time as well as what we have inherited from as long ago as a thousand years into our family tree. Constitutional homeopathic treatment was once relegated to the classical homeopath that had spent many years studying this approach. Now there are new contemporary methods in homeopathy that enable every practitioner to more completely and comprehensively harness the deeper acting proactive and preventative powers of homeopathy into their practice. Through reflex response testing and electro diagnostic equipment, the practitioner can quickly discover and discern multiple-high potency homeopathic ingredients and formulas designed to enhance constitutional strength. Common core homeopathic remedies that show recurring need in our health can enhance our overall health in areas we may not have expected. I periodically retest formulas that have accomplished there therapeutic goal of correcting the associated symptomatic picture. Once stopped for a day, week or month, the formula may retest positive through response testing. Even though the symptoms have completely cleared, the formula may have additional corrective values. One may be that the formula has not yet fully corrected the underlying causes to the associated symptomatic picture. Another may be that the formula is still working on correcting other seemingly unrelated health issues. It is common to see seemingly unrelated issues corrected with a homeopathic formula, like giving a sinus formula and seeing a sciatic condition correct. This phenomenon demonstrates the corrective curative nature of homeopathy upon the whole person. Miasm remedies correct the genetic weaknesses we carry from the diseases commonly found in our ancestors. Homeopathic remedies that target our deeper mental and emotional issues commonly have a deeper effect on the whole person. The mental and emotional symptom picture is highly regarded among homeopaths and can lead to core remedies that can have life changing effects upon people. These dynamic results are not only experienced mentally and emotionally but in the correction of resistant physical conditions as well. Homeopathic remedies that target our recurring dreams can activate the deeper actions similar to the above mental and emotional remedies. Homeopathic remedies that target our ability to adapt to our environment commonly enhance our constitutional strengths as well. The following are five categories to consider matching individual homeopathic ingredients or formulas to strengthen you patient's overall constitutional health and ease the discomforts associated with adapting and harmonizing to the climate in which they live or are visiting as well as indoor environments such as air conditioning, refrigerated environments or dry indoor heat.

This article will focus on how to match higher potency homeopathic single remedies or formulations to people that have difficulty dealing with various climatic changes or environments and enhance their overall health and wholeness. The most trusted and accurate test of all is the Test of Time. The test of time clearly tells us that the better any living form adapts, the better their survival and quality of life. Optimal health is experienced by those who best adapt to their environments. Diet, lifestyle and our mental and emotional ability to positively embrace change significantly helps in ones ability to adapt. But, perhaps the single most effective way to adapt and harmonize with our environment can be activated through homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies have tapped into activating our core inner ability to adapt to the various extremes of our environment as well as changes in general. Almost every researcher involved in the human potential has discovered the greatest powers in life lie resident or dormant within each and every one of us. When these powers are awakened with homeopathy, they lift our inner potentials in life and our overall constitutional strength. Most of us have what I call an Uncle Charlie in our family. This is the guy that lives what we would call a horrible lifestyle and yet never gets sick. He drinks daily and excessively, smokes like a chimney, cusses, lives in a dirty house, eats horribly and rarely gets sick. At the other end of the spectrum, we have our niece Penelope, who follows the most extremely strict lifestyle and diet and is commonly sick, fatigued, stuffy and sensitive to the least stress. Many of us have gotten into natural health through the process of elimination in our diets. We have eliminated sugar and felt better, or we eliminated wheat, glutton, milk, etc., and felt better. Although these eliminations have helped us feel better and can be a part of our healing, they have not corrected the core reasons or underlying causes of our weakness. It is easy to associate the elimination with the actual restoration of the healing process and find ourselves living more and more limited lives. Without correcting the inner weaknesses with homeopathy, we find ourselves living more in bondage to a very limited diet and lifestyle. True healing is more representative in a stronger more resistant life that can handle more diversity and greater stresses without being thrown off center easily. Homeopathy works deep within us to help build us stronger so that we can have the constitution of a cockroach like Uncle Charlie. Not that we abuse ourselves but live more sensitively and smartly demonstrating a strong and long life. Our ability to adapt and harmonize with our environment has an overall effect on our health. We see the strength of adaptation with the Eskimos to the Island people near the Equator. The homeopathic remedies that help us harmonize and adapt to our climatic environment or seasonal changes help also strengthen our constitutions to live more healthy resistant lives. There are homeopathic individual ingredients and formulas that help the contemporary practitioner easily apply the deeper constitutional actions of homeopathy.
