The healing process: beyond physical symptoms
The journey of healing encompasses far more than the mere alleviation of physical symptoms. By activating the body’s innate self-healing mechanisms, not only can physical health be restored, but emotional and mental balance can also be achieved.
The initial condition
The dog in question had previously exhibited signs of restlessness, anxiety, and heightened sensitivity to environmental stimuli. He often appeared exhausted, indifferent, and lacked the cheerfulness and zest for life that once defined his character. Additionally, occasional digestive issues – lingering, forgotten symptoms from the past – resurfaced, further amplifying our concerns.
Administration of the remedy and initial reactions
Based on Vithoulkas’ homeopathic approach, the symptom complex clearly pointed towards the remedy Phosphorus. Within a few hours of administration, I observed an apparent deterioration in his condition. Old symptoms re-emerged: severe diarrhea, vomiting, and intensified restlessness.
However, this phenomenon did not alarm me. This so-called “homeopathic aggravation” is actually a positive sign, indicating that the remedy has taken effect and the body has initiated its self-healing process. Remarkably, by the next morning, all these symptoms had completely vanished. The diarrhea and vomiting ceased entirely, and the dog slept throughout the day, seemingly to replenish his energy reserves. Upon waking, he was his old self again: cheerful, calm, curious, and affectionately snuggling with us.

Managing recurring symptoms
A few weeks later, mild diarrhea recurred. This time, I decided not to administer another dose of the remedy. I trusted the dog’s immune system, believing his body had already acquired the capacity to restore balance on its own. Since the full spectrum of previous symptoms did not return, there was no clear indication to re-administer the same remedy. My confidence proved well-founded: the diarrhea resolved spontaneously, and the dog remained healthy and well-balanced.
This case clearly demonstrates that homeopathy is not merely a symptomatic treatment; rather, it supports the body’s natural self-healing processes. The carefully selected remedy helped the dog reconnect with his inner equilibrium, reflected not just in his physical health but also in his emotional well-being.
