Cures at the Second Attempt

Summary

The article presents homeopathic treatment of three cases of hyperthyroidism. The cures were performed with so-called “polychrests” (Calcium carbonicum; Sepia; Natrum muriaticum). After the first case-taking and analysis the similes were not yet spotted. By staying close to the case and by meticulously performed re-repertorising the healing remedies were detected. A retrospective view shows that they mostly appeared soon after the first repertorisation as prominent “second-line” remedies and got their verification along the follow-ups when new symptoms or information were provided.

Key words

Hyperthyroidism - Calcarea carbonica - Sepia - Natrum muriaticum.
