Have you ever revisited something you thought you understood—and realized there was another layer to it?
While preparing a recent lecture on Psora, Denise pulled out teaching notes from 15 or 16 years ago. The ideas weren’t necessarily wrong. But after years of study and practice, she understood them differently.
That became the starting point for this episode.
Denise and Alastair move through several ways of understanding Psora—from infection and inheritance to metaphor and a broader philosophical framework—and ask whether our understanding of homeopathy itself can deepen in a similar way.
Because there is a difference between going deeper and simply adding more.
Deeper study can lead us back to the principles, primary sources, history, and philosophy that make the system coherent. Adding theories or methods without that foundation can lead somewhere else entirely.
So what changes when we move from doing homeopathy to thinking homeopathically?

Learning to practice homeopathy requires more than memorizing remedies or following protocols. AHE students learn to evaluate primary sources, take complete cases, recognize clear remedy indications, and make thoughtful clinical decisions grounded in homeopathic principles.
