Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG The circumstances of delivery have an important impact on our development. Dr Stanislav Grof, MD, PhD, the famous Czech psychiatrist, realised how much the process of delivery influences our life. Difficult deliveries especially shape our body, mind, and soul. I had the chance to observe this in a patient. She got
Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG Homeopathy not only offers help when the body rebels, and the past catches up with the present, but also when relationships reach a point of crisis — often cumulating in the feeling of being trapped and having lost one’s freedom. In many cases unresolved problems and enmeshments with parents stand in
Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG The intake of a prescribed homeopathic remedy sometimes causes the so-called initial aggravation, i.e., the suppressed disease symptoms suddenly become acute. If you, or your loved one, take homeopathic treatment, you’d have heard from your doctor about such a possibility. This is just a simple endeavour to explaining its nitty-gritty —

Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG I present two classical cases, where the homeopathic Calcarea carbonicum ‘personality,’ in children, was evident. The remedy was, therefore, prescribed — with good effect. Here’s a summary. Calcarea carbonicum seems more than an anachronism in our fast-moving world — in our two case examples, children who need their time, who can’t
Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG Let’s change perspective: disease prevention from a holistic perspective is the promotion of health. In this sense it applies to our life 24 hours a day. There are many factors that contribute to a healthy body and soul. Hippocrates [460-375 BC], the father of medicine, taught: “Regularity in life is a
Words: Dr Christine LASCHKOLNIG Anger has many faces — homeopathy offers a variety of ‘angry’ remedies to manage it. In my first consultation I find out how my patients deal with anger.
