When Self-Care Is not Enough

Updated: Aug 7

You've read the books, tried a few remedies, and followed wellness accounts on social media.

But something is still.... stuck.


That's because self-care is powerful, but limited. Especially when it comes to emotional patterns, long-standing symptoms, or grief that sits under the surface.


Homeopathy offers something deeper. A space where your whole story matters. Where the remedy is chosen not just based on what hurts, but on who you are.


Here we will talk about the limits of self-care.


A neatly stacked pile of hardcover books, each with colourful covers and a green bookmark peeking out from the top book, suggests a rich collection of knowledge waiting to be explored.

#1 - Benefits of homeopathic self-care


Homeopathic self-care is an excellent way to promote well-being. I offer online courses in Japanese that introduce common home remedies for acute symptoms such as colds, flu, and diarrhoea. My aim is to encourage self-healing without relying on drugs and to share the wonders of homeopathy.


Throughout these courses, many participants have expressed reduced concerns about medication side effects, noting that their families are recovering solely through homeopathic remedies, without the need for conventional medication.


In my practice, I often find that clients have relied too heavily on conventional medicine. When they catch a cold and attempt to manage it themselves, their recovery can be prolonged, and their immune systems may weaken. By incorporating homeopathy, however, the body can learn to cope more effectively on its own.


Homeopathy enhances the body's inherent ability to heal itself, stimulating its natural healing powers. This allows individuals to cope with colds, flu, and other minor symptoms without an over-reliance on medication. Therefore, we encourage everyone to explore the benefits of homeopathy.


As long as you understand how to use homeopathy and have a proper grasp of the body's natural healing processes, it can be a very effective method.



#2 - The limits of self-care


However, for issues such as "deep emotions" or "long-standing physical or thinking habits," a more in-depth approach might be required.


A unique aspect of self-care is that


  • The selection of a remedy is based on symptoms.

  • When circumstances change, you might be unsure of what to choose next.

  • You might not experience as much change as anticipated.


For symptoms that have troubled you for many years, or those that repeatedly return even after improving temporarily, it is advisable to consult a homeopath.




#3 - Benefits of a session with a homeopath


Homeopaths spend 3-4 years in specialised courses learning how to approach a wide range of symptoms.


They spend time learning through practice when to change remedies and potencies, how to administer deep acting remedies, and various administrations methods and protocols.


Even after graduation, new remedies and approaches are constantly emerging, so it is necessary to keep up with the latest information and refine their skills.


The benefits of a homeopathc session include,


  • Easier access to the root of the problem

  • Remedies are adjusted at a time that suits your condition

  • Long-standing patterns can be gradually changed.


To improve your long-standing condition from the root, it’s essential to have regular follow-ups and support tailored to your physical and mental state.

 

While some individuals opt for a one-off consultation or stick with a previous remedy, this approach may not adapt well to the ever-changing balance of mind and body.

 

Therefore, we recommend that you continue working with a trusted homeopath over a period of time, selecting the approach that best suits your current situation.



#4 - Use it according to the situation


It's not a question of which is better, self-care or homepathic consultations, but if you want ot make a deep change, you need someone to accompany you and guide you.


If you feel the desire to change, then it's probably a sign that you are ready.


We also discuss the difference between "acute" and "chronic" in more detail in our blog.
