The Homeopathic Garden (Homeopathy in Thought and Action)

One of the most fascinating aspects of homeopathy is how a simple substance, a food perhaps like onions or garlic, can be potentized into a powerful homeopathic remedy. Or how common table salt becomes perhaps our most used homeopathic remedy, Natrum Muriaticum. The Homeopathic Garden looks at common substances found in every garden and every kitchen and shows how they becomes powerful healing tools through the process of potentization, giving complete information for the uses of each.

Cooking is, perhaps, chief among Vinton McCabe's hobbies. As he puts it, “I have earned every ounce of fat on my body by having cooked or baked myself everything that I ate to get there.” While working in his kitchen, chopping onions and garlic, handling condiments and spices, working with vegetables, it occurred to McCabe just how many of the things found in every kitchen have been made into remedies that are important parts of the homeopathic pharmacy. That realization was the genesis of this piece, which explores the connection between food and medicine—specifically homeopathic medicine—makes the subject matter doubly important to its author. Vinton McCabe is the author of seven books on holistic healing and the Kindle series Homeopathy in Philosophy and Practice. He may, some day, also write a cookbook.
