In constitutional treatment, the various threads of problems troubling the person are woven into a picture of that individual's deep distress and dis-ease. This 'soul work' depends on the person understanding where they are truly disturbed at the deeper levels of their being. Through their awareness and understanding, the stories people bring to the homeopath's attention help uncover the precise remedy needed for deep healing. Homeopathy teaches us that in order to be truly holistic, the core of the person must be understood and healed. The core of us is in our will, understanding, and heart - what the ancients called our soul.
