If you’ve spent any time around homeopathy—especially online—you’ve probably heard someone say they’re “looking for their constitutional remedy.” But what does that actually mean? And more importantly… is that even the right question?

In Episode 95 of Strange, Rare, and Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray tackle one of the most misunderstood ideas in homeopathy: constitutional prescribing. Where did the term come from? What did Hahnemann actually say? And how did it get so tangled up in spiritualism, psychology, and pop culture over the last 100 years?

This episode is for anyone studying homeopathy, mentoring new students, or wondering why something that sounds so central… doesn’t show up the way you’d expect in the Organon.

They also explore how the idea of “treating the whole person” became a kind of workaround—born from 20th-century legal restrictions, internal confusion, and a profession still finding its footing.

This is a must-listen if you’ve ever:

• Wondered what a constitutional remedy is (and isn’t)
• Felt confused about how homeopaths actually prescribe
• Been told you are a remedy based on personality or body type
• Thought “homeopathy treats the whole person” was the same as “holistic”
