If a remedy is in your kit, your software, or your materia medica, do you know where that information came from?
In this episode, Denise and Alastair unpack homeopathic provings—how they are conducted, how symptoms make their way into the materia medica and repertory, and why proving methodology matters.
They look at Hahnemann’s approach, the role of toxicology and clinical confirmation, and the very different kinds of provings used today, including meditation, dream, seminar, and trituration provings.
