About the remedies
The remedies in nature
Homoeopathic remedies are almost always naturally found substances. Examples are the minerals salt, chalk and sulphur. And active parts of plants, for example the trees thuja, cyprus and oak; also flowering plants, for example delphinium, belladonna and aconite. Animal products are also used, for example sepia (cuttle fish ink).

Provings
All homoeopathic remedies are diluted many times over (typically 100 to the power of minus 6) and proven on healthy volunteers. The symptoms experienced by these volunteers are documented in large databases of 'provings' known as Materia Medica. The classic tome is by Dr James Kent, a 20th century American physician. But the list of useful substances is being added to all the time.

Finding the key
The homoeopath will choose your prescription through a process of matching your picture with the drug provings. He or she is picking a lock with multiple tumblers. The similar remedy is the key which will turn the lock and release the ability within you, to heal yourself.
