Homeopathy in History...
In 1870, Dr. Susan Smith McKinney Steward became the first African American woman to earn a medical degree in New York—and the third in the nation.

She ran her own private practice and co-founded the Brooklyn Women’s Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary.

How the Same Illness Can Look Completely Different...

In homeopathy, we use individualized treatments by recommending medicines selected to match the patient's characteristic (unique) symptoms. Individualized medicine…

Prescribing for the individual, not the disease name, is simply logical. In homeopathy, the chosen medicine addresses the sick person and not the named disease.

Caring for a little one with colic can feel overwhelming, especially when the days are long and the nights are even longer. Many parents look for gentle, natural ways to bring a bit more ease and calm into those difficult moments. Homeopathic remedies are one option families often explore as part of a broader soothing routine, and here are some homeopathic remedies that may help.

COLOCYNTHIS
Belly bloated. Pains cutting, griping, tearing, violent, in waves. Sometimes with diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. BETTER FOR BENDING DOUBLE, for pressure, for passing a stool. Worse for drinking, before a stool. Babies commonly pull their legs up to their bellies and scream if moved.

CHAMOMILLA
Repeated episodes of excessive crying, often accompanied either by the drawing up of legs or stiffening of back. Irritability – baby screams angrily in pain. Will be soothed momentarily by walking/rocking but not for long. Cheeks often flushed. Sometimes bubbles of saliva around mouth. Nappies may be green.

DIOSCOREA
Belly rumbling, windy. Pains cramping, griping, around the navel, twisting.
BETTER FOR BENDING BACKWARDS, for stretching out. Worse for bending forward or during the morning. Babies arch back and scream. They have rumbly, windy tummies and do not want to lie down and are better from being held upright.

If symptoms persist contact your local registered homeopath as you may need a different remedy.

I know that everyone knows BRYONIA as one of the remedies that the Banerjies use for the respiratory tract, including coughs and colds. But did you know that BRYONIA is an important remedy for your SKELETAL SYSTEM? This is why:

-it has an affinity to the serous membranes of the joints
-it as an affinity to the motor apparatus, nerves and muscles
-it is especially indicated for synovial inflammation of the knee joints
-it is indicated for joints that are red, hot and swollen

Serous membranes are tissue layers that wrap around an organ or body cavity to protect them. The Synovial membranes line the cavities of the free moving joints, and they secrete synovial fluid into the joint, which in turn lubricates the cartilage on the end of the bone so they can move without friction. Some of these joints include the knee, shoulder, hip or elbow.

And guess which joint has a big synovial membrane? YOUR KNEE. Certain conditions such as injury or arthritis can cause inflammation of that membrane with the characteristic pain and swelling of the area. Bryonia is one of the first remedies for joint pain or inflammation that can be used alone or with other remedies in any skeletal protocol.

Interesting news from Russia - with thanks to Dana Ullman.

"On February 5, 2026, one of the leading news portals for the pharmaceutical industry in Russia reported on the appointment of Sergei Kolesnikov, MD, as the new deputy chairman of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ (RAS) Commission for Combating Pseudoscience. Dr. Kolesnikov is a prominent Russian medical scientist and physician with a distinguished academic and research career, including the following credentials:

• He is a Doctor of Medical Sciences (MD/Dr. Sc. (Med.)) and a professor.
• He is a Member (Academician) of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), one of the highest scientific honors in Russia.
• He has served as Chief Scientific Officer at the Scientific Centre for Family Health and Human Reproduction Problems in Russia.

What makes this appointment especially newsworthy is that Dr. Kolesnikov has publicly expressed support for homeopathy—the alternative medical system based on highly diluted substances and the principle of similia similibus curentur (“like cures like”*)—a system that mainstream biomedical institutions have long labeled as pseudoscientific and lacking reliable evidence of effectiveness."

Sepia: The Remedy of Overwhelm, Exhaustion & Emotional Withdrawal
Sepia is often described as the remedy for people who feel drained from giving too much for too long. It carries the picture of someone who has poured their energy into caring, supporting, and holding everything together — until their own well runs dry.

The Emotional Tone
Sepia resonates with states of:
- Feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities
- Becoming irritable, snappy, or easily annoyed
- Wanting space, solitude, or emotional distance
- Feeling “flat,” indifferent, or disconnected from loved ones
- A sense of burden, as though everything is “too much”
It’s not that the person doesn’t care — it’s that they’ve been caring non‑stop, and their system is signalling depletion.

The Physical Expression
People in a Sepia state often describe:
- Low energy or heaviness
- A sense of being “dragged down”
- Tension in the pelvic or abdominal area
- A desire to move — dancing, running, or vigorous exercise can temporarily lift the mood
- Feeling better for warmth, rest, or being left alone

The Inner Experience
Sepia’s inner world often includes:
- Feeling emotionally overloaded
- A need to withdraw to protect one’s inner space
- Irritation at demands, even from people they love
- A sense of losing themselves in roles and responsibilities

Who might relate to the Sepia picture?
People who:
- Carry the emotional load of a household
- Feel responsible for everyone
- Have been “strong” for too long
- Experience burnout from caregiving, parenting, or constant giving
Sepia speaks to the person who says:
“I’m exhausted. I need a break. I need myself back.”

A gentle reminder
This is a general remedy profile, not a diagnosis or treatment plan. Homeopathy looks at the whole person, and remedy selection is individualised.
