Understanding Your Symptoms: A Different Approach to Healing If you're new to homeopathy, one of the biggest shifts is learning to view your symptoms not as enemies to eliminate, but as messages from your body. This change in perspective can feel unfamiliar or even unsettling—but you're not alone, and you're not the first to experience it. Best Practices for Getting Started Begin by documenting all the symptoms you’re currently experiencing—physical, mental, and emotional. Include today's date and rate each symptom’s intensity on a scale from 1 to 10. The more thorough, the better. If a memory arises while noting a symptom—such as, “this first started after a car accident,” or “this always flares up when I feel emotionally overwhelmed,”—write it down. These associations are not coincidental; they often hold valuable clues. At your first full consultation, Monaliz will explore many of these symptoms with you, asking specific questions to help identify the remedy or combination of remedies that best aligns with your constitution. What to Expect Healing is not always linear. In some cases, shifts happen immediately. For others, it may take 48 hours or even weeks as the body processes and releases symptoms—some of which may seem unrelated. At times, no change means a different remedy is needed. This is a collaborative process, like a dance between your lived experience and Monaliz’s trained perception—part science, part intuition, part detective work. If you're addressing a chronic issue, expect layers. Insights often emerge from forgotten or seemingly minor events. Don’t dismiss anything that comes up. Nothing is insignificant. Trust the process. Stay committed. You may be surprised at how profoundly your body responds when it's seen, heard, and supported with intention.
I Received My Remedy Today: Best Practices & What to Watch For Receiving your remedy marks the beginning of an important phase in your homeopathic care. Here’s what to know as you begin. How to Take Your Remedy Follow the dosage instructions provided specifically for your case. This may mean taking 3 pellets once a week, 3 times a day, or another schedule customized to your needs. Remedies are generally given in potencies such as 30CH, 200CH, or 1M, depending on your constitution and the nature of your symptoms. Homeopathic remedies typically come in the form of small sugar pellets designed to dissolve under the tongue. For best results: 1.Do not handle the pellets directly—tip them into the cap (or on a spoon) and then into your mouth. 2.Take the remedy at least 15 minutes before, or 30 minutes after, eating, drinking coffee, or brushing your teeth. 3.Avoid the following near the time of dosing, as they may interfere with the remedy's action: omint (including toothpaste), coffee, essential oils, or ocamphor (strong menthol type ingredient that is known to cancel out the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies – think rubs, cough medicines, check ingredients for Camphor or Cinnamomum Camphora). 4.Store your remedy in a cool, dry place, away from strong scents, sunlight, and electronics. Whether you take your remedy daily or weekly, consider placing it somewhere visible, on your nightstand or beside your journal, as a gentle reminder of your commitment to this process. What to Expect Unlike conventional medicine, homeopathy doesn’t suppress symptoms—it works with your body to stimulate healing. The process can be subtle or profound, immediate or gradual. Most importantly, you are not alone. If, after a week, you feel uncertain or haven’t noticed a shift, reach out to Monaliz. She is here to support and guide you. Track Your Shifts For the next two weeks (or until your next appointment), we invite you to journal daily. Note any changes in physical symptoms, emotional patterns, mental clarity, dreams, energy levels, or sleep quality. You may wish to do a gentle body scan each morning and evening: •Start at your feet and move upward. •Note any sensations, emotions, or images (such as colors or memories) that arise. •Write down even the smallest changes, it's all relevant. Signs of Healing Healing is not always linear. You might notice: •A return or intensification of old symptoms before they resolve. •Movement of symptoms: e.g., pain shifting from one area to another. •Emotional releases, resurfaced memories, or unexpected fatigue. •Sudden clarity, calmness, deeper sleep, or waking with a sense of peace. Also note subtle changes: a reduced craving, more energy after meals, a shift in thirst (preferring cold vs. warm), or a change in your need for connection or space. These details provide Monaliz with valuable insights into how your system is responding. Many symptoms become so familiar we forget they’re symptoms at all—like crashing after eating, needing daily naps, or waking with thirst. As your body begins to heal, these patterns may quietly disappear. Final Thoughts Homeopathy gently supports the body’s natural intelligence to rebalance and realign. Stay curious. Stay consistent. And trust the process—you’re in excellent hands.
Case Study: 15 Years of Chronic Dental Pain Resolved A woman came to me in severe pain with a long-standing tooth infection. Her dentist was prepared to extract the tooth—she was too. “If it’s bad and infected, it’s got to go,” she told me. Antibiotics were prescribed, and the dentist decided to wait until the swelling and bleeding subsided. This wasn’t new. She’d experienced bone loss and intermittent nerve pain in that area for over 15 years. Despite appearances, she took meticulous care of her teeth. After a deep cleaning, and investigation, symptoms eased for about 10 days—then returned with more bleeding and pain. Her next dental visit changed everything. My client reported that the dentist said something that caught my attention: “Your teeth are in great shape. There’s minimal plaque, no neglect. I suspect a bacterial strain—possibly hereditary.” That statement was the turning point. I asked a simple question: “Have you ever had a serious case of strep throat?” She had, twice. Once as a child, and again as a newlywed, home sick while her husband went out with friends. That memory, with its emotional charge, helplessness, fear, and isolation, was just as important as the physical symptoms. This is what sets homeopathy apart. It sees the full picture, not just the symptom, but the story behind it. We began treatment with Streptococcinum, starting gently at 30CH and moving up to 1M over time. What unfolded over the next six weeks was profound: She experienced blisters in the mouth and a strange cauliflower-like growth on her tongue, gone within hours. Then a sudden, irritating rash from her neck to shoulders, lasting about a week. Deep fatigue—sleeping up to 10 hours a night. Emotionally, old fears returned. She wondered if it was shingles… or worse. She felt alone, scared, and unsure. We stayed in close contact. I reminded her: symptoms are not the enemy, they’re messages. She began journaling. Dreams grew vivid, and eventually one stood out: her ex-husband, in-laws, and his new partner appeared. She felt only gratitude and release. Days later, the rash resolved. The tooth pain and discharge stopped. We followed up after 1 month, then 2. Still clear. After 15 years of pain, the issue had fully resolved. Yes, there’s permanent damage from years of strain, and she’ll need ongoing dental support—but the cause of the issue is gone. No more infections. No more nerve pain. No extraction. My Reflections As a practitioner, these are the moments that confirm why I do this work. When you treat the root—emotional and physical—true healing becomes possible. Conventional medicine would have pulled the tooth and missed the cause. Homeopathy saw the whole story. Client details have been changed for privacy. This case is shared with full permission.
