A Perfect Day for Birches

Summary

The proving of Betula alba shows that it is possible, by careful and structured analysis, to find out the identity of a proved substance. Being aware of the sensations and using the systematic approach to homeopathy as proposed by the Bombay school seems to be a helpful and functional tool not only in taking a case but also in proving remedies.

Key words

Betula alba - Birch - Remedy proving - Sensation method - Systematic homeopathy - Bergische Homöopathie-Schule - Bombay school - Kingdom - Plant - Hamamelidae - May Goddess - Bjarka
