What Do Layers in Homeopathy Mean?

One of my clients had a question:  “What do layers in homeopathy mean?”

Here is my answer:

Most of us come into the world carrying the baggage of inherited conditions from our ancestors. These can compose some of the layers. For example, if someone in the family had cancer, tuberculosis, typhoid. All of those are layers.

Then you can have layers from vaccinations, or illnesses or traumas you have personally or your ancestors have experienced. Even medications you have taken can put on layers that need to be addressed.

We are all very complex beings. In the past people may have been one dimensional and had one predominating disease, but most people, especially as they get older accumulate numerous diseases. All of those additional diseases can be layers that need to be addressed.

For example take an elderly person who has already gone through:

cataracats
glaucoma
hypertension
cancer
Alzheimers
depression.
massive tooth decay.

All of these diseases can live simultaneously in one person. Sometimes one remedy will cover a number of the symptoms, but most of the time the homeopath has to address the uppermost layer, or the symptom that is causing the greatest problems at the time and then deal with what comes up next. These are layers.

Also for seekers after health, uncovering the layers as they come up to the top in prominence helps drive the healing process forward and shows the homeopath what needs to be addressed next.

An analogy that I occasionally think of  are the shooting range games at fairs where you have to shoot down the ducks as they pop up in order to win a prize. Each duck that pops up is a layer. The job of the homeopath is to shoot down that duck, and then another duck pops up. When you have run out of ducks, meaning symptoms or disease layers, you are then resting in a state of health (or the alternative is that you are dead) since you now have no more symptoms. We are hoping for the former, a state as free of disease as possible.

I appreciate my client asking the question, as it gave me a chance to explain what I mean by layers.

Note regarding blog comments:

Dear Friends,
I appreciate your visiting my website and reading my articles and taking the time to write your comments. I welcome your comments and will post them if it looks like what you have to say will be helpful to others. I may not write a comment back, but will let the article itself present my point of view.

I am no longer responding to people’s questions regarding personal health matters on my blog, because it becomes stressful for me due to the volume of such questions that I get.

Also there is no way I can actually answer these questions properly without familiarizing myself with the person’s  health.

For anyone who is interested in working with me, please complete the appropriate questionnaire and send it to me. This way I will know that you are ready to move forward with a consultation.

I wish you the best of health.

Peace be with you,

Deborah Olenev CCH RSHom (NA)
