Healing hearts with homeopathy
 
When it comes to heart disease, modern homeopaths, except for a few, have little experience with cardiac treatment, leaving the field mainly to the conventional cardiologists. The homeopathic literature and Materia Medica, however, are full of information leading to the successful treatment of angina pectoris, enlarged hearts, arrhythmias, rheumatic heart disease, heart failure, and the cardiac results of smoking.
Modern medical terminology and understanding of cardiac conditions does not always translate directly into homeopathic language, but it is possible to draw inferences from the extensive descriptions of homeopathic medicines for the heart. In this article, we will cover the ten most well-indicated heart medicines and how they may be effectively applied to contemporary cases.
While these medicines are more often listed for heart conditions in the Repertories and Materia Medicas, they in no way constitute the entire selection of possible medicines. As always, it is best to take a complete case history and prescribe for the whole person, taking into account the full picture of mental, physical and emotional symptoms, rather than simply focusing on the cardiac symptoms alone in finding the correct medicine.
