Astringent like a Taut Spring

Summary

The process of finding a deep-acting remedy often takes longer than we expect. There is a marked difference between a deep-acting remedy and a remedy that just takes away the symptoms but does not help the patient to get completely better. The new development in homeopathy of understanding the vital sensation within the symptoms of the patient often gives the clue to help at a deeper level.

Menyanthes trifoliata - Gentianaceae - Vital sensation
