The Kaleidoscope of Plant Prescriptions: A Case of Teucrium Marum

Abstract

Healing unfolds in a process and a plant prescription may not be the first remedy. This article describes a case of a man with gout, a successful environmental lawyer who with the help of homeopathy manifests his artistic side. Moving from snake remedies to a nosode and finally to a plant, the patient undergoes a delicate and inscrutable process of self-transformation.
