I think homeopathics are a great adjunct. If you find the right remedy it can effectively disrupt an unhealthy energetic pattern that has set up house. A bad vibe, so to speak. But it's pretty delicate and best done with the help of a homeopath. A good homeopath will take a very detailed history - almost like an intense psychotherapy/physical session - and then prescribe based on your whole constitution and not just your symptoms.
I've seen amazing things happen with my cats, who were going through some very rough times this past winter, both health and emotional. Two of them were in crisis and we took them to a holistic vet and after finding the right remedy, the change was undeniable. Especially in Jasper, who was going totally insane every evening. His eyes would dilate, his skin become red and inflamed, he was attacking the others and causing total mayhem in our home environment that was already going through severe stresses. The vet said it was a clear cut case for Belladonna. It was rarely so evident a case. One course of 1M Belladonna and he is a new cat. Another cat's serious physical problems really turned the corner after being given a few courses of 1M Sulphur. I have personally been helped by homeopathics and flower essences, but not so dramatically as my cats.
To get to the deep emotional levels, you have to work with the high potencies and you can't get these at the local natural foods market. So, best of luck finding a great homeopath. That's the next step for me too, so let's keep each other posted. - BarbaraCat
