Anyone who wants to know Hahnemann’s work should have unfettered access to it and guidance in understanding it. I am actively working on uploading many of his works under resources: articles by others, and I write on these different topics as I study them myself. Grab a cup of something warm and cozy and come study with me <3.

May you find something helpful

The cost of your care

The cost of healthcare is not just financial, but also mental. People who say they can't afford a treatment have often been told they are broken and need expensive supplements. This can lead to fear, and extending themselves financially more than they would otherwise.

Symptoms are downed trees; causes are beavers

I know there’s a beaver in the woods where I walk my dog. The paths where I walk are filled with trees with old teeth marks and scars in them and old stumps, pointed at the top like a spear.

But I have never seen a beaver. I have never seen their house either, although I am constantly searching for it.
