Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Aconite for shock, fear, anxiety and panic Joette: (01:00) Have you ever had a shocking experience, after which you felt sudden surges of adrenaline through the body? Now, you might’ve been shaky and felt fearful and panicked. How about an anxiety attack or panic attack? Well, you’re not alone. A national health statistic I saw states that during 2022, about one in five adults, age 18 and older, experienced symptoms of anxiety in the past two weeks. But we don’t have to fear because on this podcast, I’m going to share about one of my favorite homeopathic medicines, which has the ability to address these conditions and much more. I’ll bet you can guess which medicine it is. If you guessed Aconitum napellus — Aconite — you were right. Some of you may already know that Aconite has been known to address conditions such as colds or flu (especially if they come on quickly), coughs, croup, fever, cardiac events, otitis media, sleeplessness and much more. But in this podcast, we’re going to focus on its ability to address anxiety, shock and fear. So, I’ve invited some of my students to join us on this podcast because they have their own stories about Aconite. Meet Elizabeth, who utilized Aconitum napellus for her husband’s shock after bad news and with other conditions Joette: (2:21) So, I’d like to welcome Elizabeth. She is a Mastermind member, an Ambassador, has finished the two years — The Academy and Mastery — and has her own business. Go ahead, Elizabeth. We’d love to hear your story. Elizabeth: Hi, Joette. Thanks for having me. One moment that really stands out to me was during my husband’s serious chronic illness. He had just received some very discouraging news, and it triggered a full-blown panic attack. His heart was racing; he felt helpless. You could just tell his body didn’t know how to process the news he had just received. And I remember thinking, “This isn’t just everyday worry and anxiety. He’s in shock.” So, without making a big deal about it, I gave him a dose of Aconite, which is a remedy we use a lot in homeopathy for sudden fear and panic. And within minutes — and I mean minutes — I watched the panic melt away. And he looked at me, and he said, “What did you just give me? I feel so much better.” And that was one of those moments where I realized how powerful the right homeopathic remedy can be because his body was finally able to just calm down and reset. And that’s just one of countless stories where I have had horrific nightmares and had panic and anxiety and shock, and Aconite worked every time. My daughter has also had the same. I’ve had a friend who was in hospice, and I was able to see her benefit from Aconite as well. Client: pregnancy — horrific pregnancy — labor and delivery, ultimately PTSD. And that was one of the really big things that we worked on was preparing her mind and her body to prepare for the upcoming new baby with the labor and delivery, hypertension, lots of different things. But even just everyday things, like being exposed to cold winds. Like at one of my children’s soccer games or something: the onset of a cold or a cough. Aconite is just so beautiful. So, I take it everywhere with me because I have seen it be so powerfully effective with a number of health ...

    In this podcast, we cover: 01:00 Introduction: If this were my last podcast, what would my message to you be? 02:11 What happened? 03:40 Conventional drugs suppress … until they later cause other issues 04:14 Do the opposite. 07:22 Bring healing back into the home with Practical Homeopathy® 09:20 Avoid unnecessary drugs and construct a timeline of the drugs you’ve already taken 11:11 If this were my last message to you: Additional resources: Joette Calabrese on YouTube (Monday Night Lives) Joette’s Learning Center The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® PracticalHomeopathy.com Gateway to Practical Homeopathy®: A Guided Study Group Curriculum Joette’s Study Group, Find Your New Study Group Friends Joette’s Mighty Members FindAPracticalHomeopath.com Kate: This is the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast, episode number 166, with Joette Calabrese.

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: If this were my last podcast, what would I say? Joette: (01:00) Hi friends, Joette here. I had some ideas the other day that I wanted to pass on to you. I asked myself, what is the one message I really want to leave with you, something that’s poignant for me in my life and perhaps might be for you. I was thinking, if this were my last podcast, what would I say? What’s at the heart of everything I teach? These are my thoughts. If you’re new here — new to my podcasts, my blog, my courses — you might think it’s just about fixing, you know, eczema or chronic fatigue or whatever acute mess your families might be suffering in now. And yes, we deliver those Practical Protocols. I teach them because they work. Eczema? Well, here’s the protocol that helped time after time. Postpartum exhaustion? We know the medicines. We’ve got them all ready for you. They’re in my blogs; they’re in my courses. Those will uproot the condition, and they’re the upfront answers. They’re what give you the interest and the excitement about being able to help yourself and your family because they get — pretty often — fast results. What happened? (02:11) But once everything clears — the skin clears, the energy returns — something bigger often dawns on moms and grandmothers and men, too. They look back and say, “Oh, my gosh. All these years, I’ve been slathering steroids on my children’s arms and legs, and it’s only gotten worse in the long run. Now there’s asthma. Now there are behavioral issues. Now there are food intolerances, dairy, wheat. Everything’s off the table. What has happened?” Well, my friends, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. What happened is we lost our freedom — our medical freedom. We handed it over to industries, pharmaceuticals, food giants, even governments, who told us, “This is the way. Take the pill. Smear the cream. Trust the experts.” And we did. That’s a collective “we” because I was there too. We believed that the quick fix was the fix. So, I started right where so many of you did. Except for me, my health was wrecked in my 20s and 30s before I had children. I had eczema as an infant all the way into high school. I had allergies, chemical sensitivities — so many sensitivities — that by the time my kids came along, I had already been questioning and digging and trying to find answers. I learned. Conventional drugs suppress … until they later cause other issues (03:40) And the big “ahas” were that conventional drugs don’t heal. They suppress, and they kick the can down the road, and that suppression shows up later without us realizing what the connection is. And I guarantee that the doctor who prescribed it will not make that connection as well. The suppression shows up in gut issues, more allergies — more deepened allergies, more things to be allergic to, chronic fatigue. It’s the same story in tens of thousands of cases I’ve taken over the years. Nothing new under the sun. Do the opposite. (04:14) Here’s what I’ve come up with. Here’s the easy rule I taught my kids, and it’s a little oversimplified, but you’ll get the idea, I think. I taught my children from an early age that whatever everybody else is doing to do the opposite. That’s the shortcut to clarity. So, at least if nothing else, they’re questioning. I can hand you the protocol for eczema. I can give you the protocols for fatigue, and it often works beautifully. But I hope what follows is an awakening, a ...

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: It Doesn’t Get Better Than This: Inspirational Homeopathic Success Joette: (01:00) Hi! Kate: Hi, Joette. It is very exciting to be with you this week because we are actually in person, which doesn’t happen too often — a couple times a year — but tell us where we are and what’s happening. Joette: Well, we’re in Florida, and a number of our Mastermind members joined us here for a great weekend. This is fashioned after Masterminds that were started back in the turn of the last century when Napoleon Hill was charged with the job of gathering up the heads of industry, getting them together and having them meet and share information on what made them successful, asking each other to help. And it was basically a secret group. So now, we’re not industrialists, but we’re going to learn from them. And instead, we’ve gathered together … we’ve been doing this, now, we’re going on our third year, where we gather together. There are 12 of us in one unit, and we have gotten to know each other because we’re all asking each other for help with whatever it is we’re looking to accomplish in our lives. That help could be from “How to build my practice,” “How to teach Gateways more frequently,” “How to incorporate my family into my work,” “How to study better.” Some of the members in the group have no interest in ever practicing or even teaching. What they want to do is to just keep in touch with those people that they have a great deal of regard for and get feedback. And that’s really what it is. It’s melding of the minds. It’s concinnity at its best because it’s bringing all the minds together, and everyone is parlaying off of each other. It sounds a little bit like a cacophony, but it isn’t. It really is very organized. Each person has their specific time at which they present, and then those around the round table (of the other 11) offer their suggestions, ideas and plans to help them build their year. We’re meeting now, and then we’re going to meet every other week for an entire year. It’s really a spectacular opportunity for all of us. Prerequisites for Practical Homeopathy’s Mastermind Kate: (03:00) So, in order to be in your Mastermind group, what do students need to have accomplished in order to join the group? And I know there’s a wait list. Actually, right now we have a number of people who wanted to join, but weren’t able to necessarily get in this year, but we’re hoping in the coming years. But tell me, what do these students have to have done to get in group? Joette: They have to have gone through The Academy, which is one full year, and the Mastery, which is 11 months. So, it’s quite a commitment. And they have to be interested in growing; growing themselves intellectually, emotionally, spiritual. Whatever it is that they’re looking to accomplish, that’s what ...

So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Meet 7 Unique, Accomplished, Inspiring Women from the Practical Homeopathy® Mastermind Group Kate: (01:00) Welcome to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m thrilled you’re joining us today. Homeopathy isn’t just a gentle, time-tested system of medicine. It’s a powerful tool that empowers families to take charge of their health naturally, safely and effectively. Joette has spent decades teaching others how to employ Practical Homeopathy® with their family, friends and beyond. So, on this podcast, you’re going to hear from some passionate students of Practical Homeopathy®, who are now helping others experience what’s truly possible with Practical Homeopathy®. Joette, we’ve just spent three wonderfully intense days together with your Mastermind students. Some of them are joining in on this podcast today. So, I’d love it if you could start by explaining to those listening what your Mastermind group is all about. What’s a Mastermind group? Joette: (01:52) Okay. So, a Mastermind group is a dedicated group of graduates of The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and Mastery — so, that’s been two full years — who have taken their knowledge to the next level. These women — brilliant women, I have to say — have seen remarkable results in their own lives and families. And now they’ve moved beyond that, and they want to join with a small group of other like-minded students who all want to push each other to fulfill their goals, and their clients experience the life-changing power of homeopathy. So, let’s get started. Meet Heather, a health coach Joette: (02:33) Hi, Heather. Heather: Hello, Joette. Joette: I’m so glad you’re with me today … well, also that you’ve been with me this weekend, too. Heather: Yes, it’s been amazing. Joette: It’s amazing to be amongst these women, hasn’t it? Heather: Absolutely, yes. Joette: Tell us a little bit about your story. What is a little bit of your background; what brought you here? Heather: I have been a health coach for about 10 years and have been working with clients for that long, helping people recover their health and just to support them in any way that I could. But I always felt a little bit of a limitation. I couldn’t always quite get to the end of that process. And so, when I found homeopathy, one of the first things that I did for myself was to work on getting rid of my chronic headaches that were debilitating and took up way too many days of the month that I couldn’t really function or do things. And so, when I was able to do that with homeopathy, I knew that I had found that missing piece. And the fact...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: When health fears fade: Ordinary mom, extraordinary results Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and I’m so excited today because we’re diving into the heart of why so many of us love homeopathic medicine. We’re going to hear real stories from real people living busy, full lives, who have seen homeopathy work wonders. So, today our guest is Tina. She’s a wife, a homeschooling mom of three, a student of Practical Homeopathy®. Actually, she’s going through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy®. And she’s a leader of the Gateway to Practical Homeopathy® study groups and also the protocol study courses. So, Tina, thank you so much for joining us. I’m excited to hear your stories. Tina: Oh, I’m so thankful to be here, Kate. It’s an honor. I’m just a mom, an observer. I’ve seen this medicine change things, and in the most ordinary, everyday moments Kate: And extraordinary from what you’ve told me, too. Very exciting. So, that’s why we love hearing these stories, Tina, and especially what you’re going to bring to the podcast today. You have such a rich background, and I think people would want to know because it’s so interesting. Microbiology, business, homeschooling, church music ministry, volleyball coaching, graphic design, short-term rentals and more, as we talked earlier. Yet, homeopathy has woven into all of it. So, I want to ask you, Tina, what first drew you to Practical Homeopathy®, and how did those early experiences hook you into using homeopathy as your medicine? It all started with tooth pain Tina: (02:34) I am so thankful to live a varied life and, within all of those moments, get to use homeopathy and see homeopathy shine. But it all started with my youngest daughter during the time when we were all sitting at home, and we weren’t able to get into many practices or dental practices or doctors. And her tooth started turning pretty decayed, in which we were told before that it was just a little stain on her tooth. So, I had a sister-in-law who had just taken Gateway I and Gateway II, and she had tried to convince me to get in the class. And I kick myself now because that was when I could have started. But it was in the middle of a move, and we just didn’t have time. And so, I remember getting on the phone, calling her up and saying, “Is there anything homeopathy could do? Because we need help.” At that point, my poor little youngest was in pain and waking up in the middle of the night. And we were doing all we could allopathically, and it just was not good enough. And your mom-heart just breaks to see them in pain and crying. And so, I was introduced to a protocol for infection. And it was my first real introduction, and it was a beautiful start because not only did things change within the hour, but homeopathy ...

This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Introduction: Never Forget Remedies With Stories: A Closer Look at Arnica Kate: (01:00) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast with Joette Calabrese. I’m your co-host, Kate. If you are looking for ways to remember which homeopathic medicines address specific conditions, today’s podcast is for you. Joette, our Practical Homeopathy® founder and trusted expert, will share her insights to do just that. But before we jump in, I want to welcome you. You, our listeners. You’re in the right place today if your goal is to become a confident, capable healer in your own family. Or maybe you’re just learning about homeopathy, and you wonder if this could help you or maybe someone that you know. This is the place for you, too. And this podcast is just one of the many resources Joette offers to help you — wherever you are on your journey. But let’s get started with today’s podcast. Joette, give us an overview of the topic of our discussion today. It’s a good one. The way most people remember their remedies Joette: (01:55) Okay. So, let’s start with homeopathy being an academic pursuit, but it’s much more than that. And I’m going to give you some insight into that today. The way most people remember remedies — learning the materia medica — is by taking cases and observing their successes by using homeopathy. I guarantee — pretty much — you’ll likely never forget when you helped that little girl down the street with hives by using, say, Urtica urens and seeing a big shift. You’ll never forget the remedy you used when it helped your husband with that horrible pain after that fall. You might forget the medicine that helped you with your cough. But when it’s touching you on an emotional level — like when you’re helping a family member or a friend or a pet or even an animal from the wild — it’s more likely you’ll not forget it. So, let me give you an example. The story of the injured bird Joette: (02:55) Let’s say a bird flew into your window. And this has happened to me a couple of times, and I’ll never forget the combination of the medicines that I used. The first one I thought of, of course, was Arnica because the bird — being that it flew into the window — hit its head. Arnica is one of our best medicines for a head injury. Now, I did not know whether or not the bird was in pain, and you might not know this either, but we do know that there was a head injury. And one time, when we had a bird that flew into our window, I gave it Symphytum with Calc phos as a combination. And I did that because the bird’s head was cocked to one side. And I assumed that there may have been an injury to the spine or to the neck or et cetera. So, I made that connection. Not sure of it, of course, but certainly, we knew Arnica, and then I added Symphytum plus Calc phos. Arnica: a sweeping medicine But did you know that Arnica has so many other uses? It is one of our most sweeping homeopathic medicines. And there are many medicines like this in our materia medica, but Arnica, because it is such a well-known medicine, ought to strongly be considered for many other conditions as well. For example, Arnica’s a great remedy for insomnia, for sleeplessness. I learned that from my own mother, who started to use it. She knew only the name of the medicine, Arnica, when I first started learning homeopathy myself. And she just remembered the name, and a couple of nights she had some insomnia and took Arnica, and it worked! And that was news to me. (This was ...

If your goal is to become a confident, capable healer in your own family, this podcast is just one of the many resources Joette offers to do just that. So, let’s get started. Hi, Joette. Joette: Hi, Kate. This is so great. This is a very interesting topic today. Kate: It is! What sparked our topic of discussion today is a question from one of your Mighties Plus members. So, some of our listeners might be asking, what is Mighties Plus? And do you want to explain it to them just a bit, Joette? What is Mighties Plus? Joette: (01:59) Mighties Plus is a virtual group. We meet each month, where I’ll get your questions answered. And there’s much more because there’s also that community. And so, we also have a special lesson in Mighties Plus for each month, so that members can study. We have those who have been in Mighties Plus for a little while. We have them give us exciting success stories. And then, we have Remedy Riddles and all kinds of fun things that keep it alive and interesting. So, it’s not just me answering questions. Kate: So, one of those things in your Mighties Plus membership site is the flashcards that give keynotes for various homeopathic medicines. And it’s a great way — for whether it’s adults or even children — to learn the keynotes of the medicines. For those people who may not know what a keynote is, can you explain that, Joette? What are homeopathic medicine keynotes? Joette: (02:49) Well, each of our homeopathic medicines have sweeping, grand ability. They can touch on so many aspects of human suffering and human health. But there are specific aspects of each of them that rise to the top — certain abilities of these medicines — and we call them keynotes. It’s an appropriate name because these are the key aspects of this particular medicine. So, for those who only know a little bit about Arnica montana, you would understand that — Arnica montana — one of the keynotes, is elements from an injury. So, soft tissue or hard tissue injury would be met with Arnica. That’s a keynote of Arnica montana. Keynotes of homeopathic Colocynthis Kate: (3:30) So, in our last Mighties Plus live, one of the students — which is what sparked this episode, actually —asked you, “Does the homeopathic medicine Colocynthis work for just GI pain (because that’s what you were talking about) related to bullying? Or would it also help with GI pain related to anxiety?” So, can you take us through how to think about this question, and why it was a good question. Joette: Well, I discussed that moment in Mighties Plus. I was describing a case that I had taken years ago about an adolescent boy who had been bullied and had tremendous GI pain. He was practically...

Joette: Hi, I’m Joette Calabrese, and I welcome you to our health care movement — yours, mine and the countless men and women across the globe who have retaken control of their families’ health with Practical Homeopathy®. So, for the next few minutes, let’s link our arms as I demystify homeopathy — what was once considered an esoteric paradigm — into an understandable, reproducible, safe and effective health care solution available to all. This is the medicine you’ve been searching for — my unique brand of homeopathy, PRACTICAL Homeopathy®. Real-World Integration of Practical Homeopathy® and Conventional Care Kate: (00:58) Welcome back to the Practical Homeopathy® Podcast. I’m Kate, and today’s guest is going to talk about how she integrates homeopathy into her existing health practice without abandoning the credentials, training and experience as a medical professional. I’m thrilled to be joined by someone who embodies this balance beautifully. Michelle is a nurse and a homeopath who works alongside her physician-husband. She’s also gone through The Academy of Practical Homeopathy® and is now finishing the second year, which is the Mastery program. So today, she’s here to talk about how to introduce homeopathy to people steeped in the allopathic world. Michelle, welcome to the podcast. Michelle: Thank you, Kate. It’s good to be with you today. Kate: I’m so glad you’re here. You have a very unique and exciting perspective, and I’m thrilled for you to be able to share with the listeners. Michelle: Thank you. I’m glad to be here as well. Health care professionals seeking to incorporate both allopathy and homeopathy Kate: (01:56) So, tell me about what you’ve noticed. When we talked earlier, you said some things about nurses who are giving up their positions and their licenses because they’re wanting to go into homeopathy, and they’re not really sure how to incorporate both of those paradigms. Can you talk to us about that? Michelle: Yeah, especially through the last several months and getting to meet everyone, and there’s so many RNs. And I would say other health care professionals, too, that I’ve met along the way in my study groups, as well as the broader sense of the school, that so many of them seem to feel like they have to give up their nursing license or their doctor or physical therapy license in order to practice homeopathy because of the scope of practice. And I don’t know the laws in every state. However, I’m in Florida. Florida’s pretty friendly with combining those. And I just find that for us in our private practice, I find it very beneficial to have one foot in the allopathic world, as I call it, and one foot in the homeopathic world — in the sense that there’s so many things, especially that you can teach patients or clients, that they can take something homeopathically and not have side effects. Oftentimes, when they’ll come into our office, I have lots of remedies right in our office. And they can see those, and they will ask me questions about them. And we usually start with simple things like heartburn, or if they’re having issues with sleep, or as a woman with menopausal symptoms. And Boiron does a beautiful job of making remedies sort of “shelf attractive” to people that are used to more Big Pharma over-the-counter type things. And so, I educate them on some of their choices so that they don’t have to be on more Big Pharma medicines. And the reason not to be is that there’s so many side effects with the synthetic drugs in our world today. So, I feel like I can win more people over to homeopathy, and ultimately, it’s better for the person. A lot of people just don’t know. They’ve never heard of homeopathy, or that they misunderstand it. They think that it is natural or herbal, and they aren’t sure. Functional medicine, I think, has ...
