115: Homeopathy in Practice: Integrative Care and the Direction of Cure

About this episode

The episode discusses integrative care in homeopathy, addressing listener questions and exploring the direction of cure.

In Episode 115 of the Strange, Rare & Peculiar podcast , Denise and Alastair begin with major updates from the Academy of Homeopathy Education (AHE) and Homeopathy Help Network (HHN)—including clinical growth, research outcomes, and new international accreditation. They then move into a listener question from Sweden: Can therapies like psychotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, or deep tissue work interfere with homeopathic treatment? They explore when integrative care supports healing, when it may disrupt a chronic case, and why timing and case management matter. The episode also examines Hahnemann’s use of adjunct therapies such as mesmerism, electricity, and baths, then closes with a deep look at the origins of so-called “Hering’s Law.” Denise and Al explain why it is not truly a law, how the idea of direction of cure developed, and why complex chronic cases do not always follow simple formulas.
