The ecology of homeopathy |

Homeopathy encompasses a wholeness that touches the mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual. Although it is used effectively to treat physical disease, it recognizes the connection between the disease and the emotional imbalance. It is truly the balanced binding together of the whole that allows the freedom of expression in the nature of the being.
Living and practicing for years in Bombay, had made it clear to me that by our very nature, we harm ourselves in the quest for 'more and better'. The pollution of the air, water and food, and the city's stresses take an immense toll on an individual's health, but few can change their lifestyle. Pondering this, I came across an astounding book, One Straw Revolution that describes a system of farming, called natural farming, by Masanobu Fukuoka. To my mind, his philosophy of farming is identical to that of classical homeopathy, and I believe this philosophy can even be extended outwards to life in general.
