POTS from a homeopathic lens

If you’ve been told you have POTS, you already know it’s not “just” a heart rate issue.

From a classical homeopathic perspective, treatment isn’t aimed at chasing numbers or suppressing symptoms. The focus is on how your whole system adapts (or fails to adapt) to demand—especially standing, heat, exertion, and stress.

One thing homeopaths pay close attention to is patterns, not isolated symptoms.

This is where concomitants matter
(symptoms that reliably show up together)

Common groupings people with POTS often recognize:
• Palpitations with dizziness
• Dizziness with visual dimming
• Fatigue with headache
• Weakness with tremulousness
• Cold hands/feet with a flushed face

These pairings aren’t random.
They tell a story about how the nervous system, circulation, and energy regulation are interacting.

Rather than asking “What diagnosis do you have?”
a homeopath asks:
• What makes you worse or better?
• What happens together every time?
• What does it feel like when your body can’t stay upright or keep up?

For many people with POTS, the goal isn’t forcing the body to perform—but helping it regain stability, resilience, and confidence in its own signals.

If you have POTS and feel like your symptoms come in recognizable clusters, you’re not imagining it.
Those groupings are often the key.

So, today marks 25 years since starting my homeopathic practice. Studying homeopathic medicine began for me from a desire for personal growth and knowledge, and developed into a deep appreciation for this wonderful healing system. The further I got into my studies, applying it to cases, the absolutely incredible responses I witnessed hooked me and I’ve never looked back.

Now as I reflect on these 25 years, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you. It has been an honor and a privilege to be part of your lives. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me — it is a responsibility I have never taken lightly.

One of my greatest joys has been watching so many of you grow - and now, treating the children of those I first saw when they were children themselves. Aside from making me feel old, I think that’s pretty cool.

Throughout the years, l’ve remained committed to learning, growing, and staying up to date so I can continue to offer you the best care possible. I believe that staying curious and informed is part of honoring my role.

Your loyalty, kindness, and support have made this work incredibly fulfilling, so again I thank you.

Here’s to the next chapter - and with any luck, another 25 years. I look forward to continuing this journey with you and your families for as long as I’m able to do so.

Sincerely,
Jason

“After several months of taking this remedy, I have come to realize that all the negativity, all the hurt and guilt and sadness that I had put into this box inside my chest… I realized, that’s not where he lives. He was beauty and love and strength. He lives outside of this box of pain. It’s not him. So I realized that what I was holding onto was not him and that’s when I started to let the pain go, and let this box dissolve.”

These are the words of someone that lost somebody very close. The box of pain was there for a very long time and had begun to consume her. It took a few months of very gentle prescribing to help her process what she had been experiencing and this is how she explained her realization.

I thought her words were quite beautiful and wanted to share them.

The following post was generated by the website Chatgpt. I was curious about what data may be included on homeopathy and on the remedies in particular.
The information is accurate but I do not suggest “trying” any remedies without the guidance of a trained homeopath.

💊Nature's healing in a bottle! Rhus toxicodendron, also known as poison ivy, has been used for centuries in homeopathic medicine to provide relief from a range of conditions.🌿
🔬Source: This plant-based remedy is made from the leaves of the Rhus toxicodendron plant, known for its toxic properties when ingested or applied to the skin. However, when diluted and potentized in homeopathic doses, it has been shown to have therapeutic effects.

✨Conditions that respond to Rhus toxicodendron:
1. Arthritis
2. Sprains
3. Muscle stiffness
4. Tendinitis
5. Rheumatism

💪Modalities better from: (meaning, the symptoms someone is suffering from are made to feel better by…)
1. Warmth
2. Moving around
3. Stretching
4. Hot showers
5. Massage

🤕Modalities worse from:
1. Cold weather
2. Dampness
3. Resting for too long
4. Being in one position for a long time
5. Touching cold objects

If you're struggling with any of the above pathologies, consider trying Rhus toxicodendron. It's always important to consult with a professional homeopath before starting any new remedies. 🙏

Do we owe the symbolism of modern day Christmas to a mushroom?

You decide. I’ll just leave a few interesting tidbits here.

So, the fly agaric (mushroom) is the nice looking red and white capped one we see in Disney movies and super Mario games. But it is also the mushroom that might be responsible for Christmas imagery.

Shaman from Siberia would gather these red and white mushrooms, that grow under pine trees, and use 1 of two methods of reducing the toxins held within them.

Method 1 involved drying the mushrooms by hanging them in socks in front of a fire….

Method 2 involved having reindeer ingest the mushrooms and then collecting the urine from them.

Both methods worked but I’m thinking I’d be in the fireside drying camp myself.

Apparently the shaman would be dressed up warm in red outfits trimmed in white in honour of the mushroom colouring. I can’t verify any of this… 😊

When reindeer eat these mushrooms they get a solid adrenaline rush and are capable of leaping much higher than the reindeer that aren’t juicing, hence the “flying”

And, upon returning to the yurt, often the snow would be so high they would need to enter through a hole in the top… man in red and white slipping down the chimney…

As a homeopathic medicine, these mushrooms are used for various neurological conditions but also for the effects of…. Frostbite!

Anyway,

Have a wonderful and safe Christmas 🎄 🍄🎅🏻

So today I’m 50. I thought it would be a good opportunity to show a few paintings my sister has done recently. The first is me from a birthday a few years back ( I look younger now 😏) and the other two are my parents. Unfortunately I don’t have her self portrait available.
Thank you Melissa ❤️

Fever

It’s widely recognized that a fever (symptom) is a tool that the body uses to accomplish some task in order to bring the body back into balance, or back into a healthy state.

So if a fever is a tool, created by your body to help bring about health, why are other symptoms not seen as the tools they are?

Granted it is much easier for us to understand the task the fever is being used for than it is in other symptoms, a cramp or high cholesterol for instance. But these are tools too.

So why, if we know we shouldn’t suppress the fever, are we ok with simply suppressing these other symptoms? We should be looking at the patterns these symptoms create and then assist them in their tasks and help restore balance.

This is essentially the aim of a homeopathic remedy.

Your homeopath will gather an inventory of your body’s tools (symptoms) and using them to determine the balancing patterns of your body, will assist those tools in accomplishing that balance.

Here are 2 examples of children’s illnesses - fever being the reason the families reached out for assistance, to illustrate what homeopaths are looking for.

Case 1. Aconite
Boy-6 years old
After a day at the beach that ended in a cold front moving in and catching the family in a cold wind, the child became ill early in the evening.
Symptoms came on suddenly
Intense ear pain and a fever
Anxiety and pain had the child wanting to be carried
Restlessness and one rosy cheek

A couple of doses of aconite had the child relaxing and able to sleep. By the end of the following day all was back to normal.

Case 2. Belladonna
Girl-15 years old
Day 2 of a high fever (103.5)
Hot head with cold hands and feet
No thirst during the fever
No perspiration, just a dry heat
Unable to think clearly
Dilated pupils

Clear belladonna indications, and within 30 minutes of the first dose the fever broke, thirst and perspiration both returned and after a good sleep she reported feeling back to herself.

Back to school anxiety

A little peek behind the curtain here. Anticipatory anxiety was a struggle for me growing up and is in fact the primary reason I became a homeopath.

I have a special spot for children and adults that struggle with this.

Homeopathy has a lot to offer in these situations. There are a handful of well known remedies that not only help during the acute flare up of anxiety but also help the underlying reasons that the flares are there in the first place.

If you were to ask 10 people who deal with this to describe exactly what they are experiencing, you will get 10 unique experiences. These experiences translate into patterns and that’s where we begin.

Aspects of each case will help your homeopath find the most personalized remedy. These can be directly connected to the anxiety or simply broad generalized characteristics.

I’ll contrast 2 remedies here as an example.
Both states have anticipatory anxiety as the chief complaint.

Remedy A also has these characteristics;
- Great restlessness
- Strong desire for someone to be with them
- Chills or a sense of wanting warmth
- Feel better walking about
- An increase in thirst
- Sudden and intense symptoms

Remedy B has anticipatory anxiety and;
- Heaviness, or a sense of physical weakness
- Dullness with muddled thinking
- Trembling from the fear
- Absence of thirst
- A slow build of the symptoms
- Sleeplessness, going over and over the thoughts that are responsible for the anxiety.

So based on the principles used in homeopathy, remedy A would not help a person who is expressing the symptoms of remedy B and vice versa. This is why your homeopath digs deep into what your specific experiences are.

Feel free to message me with any questions you might have.

Can homeopathy treat warts??

Yep.

Psoriasis - case 3

Male, 40 years old.

He came in for help after many years of various treatments. His skin eruptions were found only on the left arm, left side of his abdomen and his left shin (location).

The itch was described as super intense and the absolute joy he felt in scratching would end in either raw or bloody areas (sensation).

Any heat, from a warm room or the sun would trigger a bout of itch (modality).

Accompanying (concomitant) symptoms included, a “remarkably” itchy bum any time he drank beer, seasonal allergies with eyes that would feel like they were full of sand/grit - made much worse (as was his skin) by getting wet. He also suffered regular calf cramps in the night regardless of his hydration or electrolyte consumption.

His general makeup was that of a very friendly, sociable man. Highly excitable in regards to sport and parties. A sweet tooth he could hardly keep up with and an unquenchable thirst for ice-cold water. Easily overheated and therefore requires a fan pointed directly at him in order to be able to sleep.

Periodic doses of his required remedy have not only improved his skin but also his allergies and sensitivity to becoming heated. He does notice that drinking beer on a regular basis will cause his symptoms to become more noticeable. As such he has begun to consciously decrease his consumption.

All 3 of these psoriasis cases showed individual patterns in the presentation and all 3 required a different homeopathic remedy. The diagnosis doesn’t determine the remedy, the body’s attempt to deal with the underlying issues - through symptom patterns - determines the remedy.

Psoriasis - case 2

Female. Mid 20’s

She came in with thick, white cracked plaques that would ooze a thick discharge on her scalp and behind her ears (location).

These plaques would itch and burn particularly at night when becoming warm in bed (sensation/modality).

Her accompanying conditions included a significant weight gain that began shortly prior to the psoriasis appearing, notably chilly with a desire to wrap up but doing so (becoming heated) would aggravate the skin condition, chronic constipation.

As for her general makeup, she complained that she was overly indecisive and really had become very timid and in her words “lazy” with regard to work.

Again, this is a stripped down example of a case but the main idea is to illustrate the types of things a homeopath takes into account in looking at any condition.

She was given a remedy (based on these patterns) diluted in water to be taken daily. Her first follow up appointment (6 weeks after starting her remedy) showed some improvement in her self confidence and constipation. Her skin hadn’t changed.

We continued with the same remedy but increased the potency (strength).

A further 4 weeks past and her bowels were back to normal, her desire to work and socialize had returned to normal and her skin had stopped oozing.

It took roughly 6 months for the skin to clear completely.
