MOSSES AND FERNS - Spectrum of Homeopathy 02/2021

They still exist – the primordial plants that first greened the earth over 400 million years ago. Yet now they are so small and inconspicuous that we hardly notice them. This is also true of the patients who are helped by potentised mosses and ferns. This issue of SPECTRUM should aid recognition of these remedies with such strange names as square goose neck moss (Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus) so that we no longer overlook them in our homeopathic practice. They are brought to our attention by a group of “moss pioneers” headed by Britta Dähnrich and Jan Scholten, who in spring 2017 proved about 30 different mosses with the help of bryologist Michael Sauer. Up to that time these ancient plants, with approximately 15,000 species, were still completely uncharted territory for homeopathy. Now the pioneers can already report first practical success with these unassuming and hard-to-differentiate flowerless plants that are found everywhere, in the wide forests, on wood, cliffs, walls and roofs.

We, the editors of SPECTRUM, vividly shared the emotions of the participants at the first sense provings: primarily confusion! Then something like a primordial scream! Complete helplessness in view of the complexity of the evidence. Gradually the central theme of the mosses became clearer: being overlooked and not perceived due to maximum adaptation and frugality, which are the expression of the absolute will to live.

In the case histories here we get to know the primordial plants that we so carelessly trample on as a homeopathically efficacious companion for patients with poor performance, depression, and other psychological disorders, mostly following traumatic childhood experiences. The experience of earlier rejection, isolation, abuse, violation and mortal danger is a common thread running through the cases of Elisabeth Sehlinger, Britta Dähnrich, Christina Ari, Martin Jakob and Franz Swoboda on different mosses. Whereas the remedy group based on such typical common themes can be clearly recognised, the differentiation of individual moss remedies remains mostly difficult. Jan Scholten’s hypotheses on the plant codes can help although these need to be reliably confirmed in practice.

Michal Yakir has developed her own system of classification for the primordial plants. Whereas her well-known classification of the flowering plants follows the stages of human evolution and individuation, she now assigns the non-flowering ancient plants, including the conifers, to the stages of development of Gaia, the earth. The mosses are right at the beginning of evolution in the first column of Yakir’s tried-and-tested plant table. In columns 2 and 3 come the club moss and ferns of the Pteridophyta, for which our dear author and friend Jörg Wichmann (who died far too young) contributed an overview. These plants are also striking in their very inconspicuousness. So just as fern seeds can make people invisible according to myth and legend, people who need fern remedies have learnt to hide themselves in the camouflage of everyday life. Franz Swoboda and Doris Drach reveal this strategy with the proving and a case of bracken fern.

There are clearly many parallels between mosses and ferns relevant to homeopathy, such as the theme of trauma and sexual abuse in Sigrid Lindemann’s case of Equisetum hiemale. The genus Selaginella (spikemosses or lesser clubmosses) forms a bridge between the two plant groups of this issue. Like a moss, these lycopods or lycophods survive years of drought and, like the false rose of Jericho, they spring to green life with the rain, as does the woman in Anne Schadde’s case, following a dose of her simillimum Selaginella lepidophylla.

In this issue of SPECTRUM we likewise encounter a series of patients and homeopaths who have searched many years for the key to healing only to finally find it in this group of primordial plants. These examples show how important it is, even after 200 years of homeopathy, to extend our materia medica with new remedy provings and clinical experience. Maybe you have hard-to-treat patients, some of whom could benefit from Lunularia cruciata, Aulacomnium palustre or Asplenium scolopendrium.

The Infect Spectrum is one of the best booklets I can remember
The Infect Spectrum is one of the best journals I can remember. So many coherent approaches to the remedy, all written by competent authors, so many good facets you won't find anywhere else in a journal. Every article is coherent and informative.

I particularly liked the tips from the experienced Ute Bullemer, whom I didn't know before; I will think of Anantherum for the frequent cervical erosion; Erodium is also often good, by the way.

Heiner Frei's method is well presented and has long been a welcome addition to our daily routine.

I found T. Curtis' description of the trembling aspen, which she describes very well and substantiates with cases that can then also be explained by plant theory, to be excellent work.

D. Payrhuber also has very nice cases, especially the two Helleborus cases.

Rajan Sankaran's Pulsatilla case also coincides with our best Puls cases, because they are not just as gentle as is always claimed: this characteristic is part of the picture and corresponds to stage 2. I found the fact that the patient indignantly slapped a Riksha driver interesting, because it is true: the Ranunculaceae are all more or less quickly indignant and so irritable that they can also strike, as is known from Staph. Internal or external trembling or quivering is also common to all Ranunculaceae.

Franz Swoboda's excellent article made me laugh a lot. It should be added that the quintessence of his "epidemic" is also described in Jan Scholten's Elements: Ant-t helps practically all cases of chronic bronchitis to a greater or lesser extent (he did not claim this about any other remedy, and it is true), but it does not cure. His new observation of the mycoplasma nosode as a counterpart is particularly interesting.

Then the cholera article: simply super, the best thing I have read about cholera so far. Especially the good refutation that only the avoidance of bloodletting and the (low) intake of fluids was the only reason for the indisputable superiority of the homeopathic treatments at that time, I found very conclusive.

Then the Iquilai study: where can you find something like that today? First class.

I even found Kate Birch's birch drink for all vaccination problems interesting, even if it has to be said that you can make things unnecessarily difficult for yourself with too many theoretical considerations. At least you understand why everything has to be packed into a potion. A nice case, after all.

The molluscs by Mrs Schuller-Schreib are also worthwhile. In this context also the Calc case by K Adal.

Then also the reference to the index at the end: a super booklet.

It is not only the victims who need to be healed! It is probably the OTHERS who also need healing: the perpetrators, accomplices, co-earners, hangers-on, liars, prolongers.... of all this madness. And there seems to me to be no better medicine than cadmium! Ulrich Welte describes the excellent remedy picture in his "Silver Series" stage 12. I also find it significant that Ulrich Welte mentions the snake remedies on p.152 DD, yes, the satanic snake.... read more ...

Homeopathy, an effective medicine
After everything I am hearing at the moment, it was very good for me to read the reports of doctors from different countries who were able to help patients with homeopathy. I was very impressed by the article on CO2. All people worldwide who wear a mask are affected. This increases the CO2 content in the blood, which is harmful to us humans. It triggers symptoms that can easily be attributed to the virus.
To all those who have contributed to this issue: Thank you very much!

Very exciting and informative reading
As an interested non-medical person (is there a female form of layperson??), I have read the articles very carefully and find them extremely informative.
Fortunately, no one in our family has Corona yet, but we have been taking Influenzinum for several years and have been flu-free ever since.
I would also see Bryonia as Genius epidemicus in our latitudes, as it shows the most similarities.

Long Covid: Hervorragend
I think this booklet is really remarkable and excellent. The articles show that there are various homeopathic ways out of the misery if you are affected by Covid or the vaccination against it. This takes away a lot of fear and gives you the confidence to get through such a crisis well.

Many thanks to the authors for their search for appropriate treatment options and for putting their knowledge into words and publishing it.

This booklet is also interesting for laypeople and highly recommended.

I am thrilled!
I have now read several issues of "Spektrum der Homöopathie" and am enthusiastic about every issue. Reading them has given me an understanding of the topic in question that I didn't have before, and in a short space of time, because the basic and important information is well structured and presented in an interesting way. I also feel that there is a lot of passion behind this magazine, which has a very motivating effect on me. Thank you very much for having it! read more ...
