Wholly Homeopathy Happenings
August 2026 Edition: by Wendy Dickens
~ Back in the Materia Medica with 'I' Remedies ~
Ignatia amara, made from the St. Ignatius bean, is most well known for its effective support for grief. However, there is much more to this remedy than meets the eye. It is also excellent for overwhelm, anxiety, insomnia, and much more! Ignatia 200c, taken twice daily can be a helpful support for anxiety and overwhelm, especially if there is also a tendency to weepiness or sighing.
A nosode made from the Asian and common flu, Influenzinum can be used to support the body with flu-like symptoms or mild depression that can follow illness. Depending on the severity of symptoms, Influenzinum 30c is taken every three hours to twice daily when a bad cold or flu strikes. The more severe the symptoms, the more closely together a dose should be taken.
Ipecacuanha, or Ipecac as it is often called, is made from the Ipecac root. It is an extremely versatile medicine useful for stomach disorders and nausea, as well as spasmodic coughing and asthma. Ipecac 30c, is often taken every few hours for acute conditions like an incessant, gagging cough. When symptoms are quite severe it might be taken every hour or two, if less severe, perhaps every three to six hours.
Made from the root of the Blue Flag plant, Iris versicolor is one of our important remedies for migraines and gastrointestinal complaints which involve burning. There are several homeopathic options for acid reflux, but one is Iris versicolor 200c in liquid taken twice daily and perhaps also a few minutes before each meal. This remedy and another called Lycopodium are sometimes used for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

What are the benefits for joining one of my
Study Groups?
As one of Joette's Discovery Ambassadors, I have exclusive access to introductory videos she recorded for each lesson when she launched the 2nd edition of Gateway to Practical Homeopathy I. We view these at the beginning of each lesson.
I offer a discounted fee for my Study Groups when you register for both Gateway I and II. Please contact me for the coupon code.
Once you have taken a Gateway class with me you have lifetime access to return for that class as often as you like free of charge.
I have a private Signal chat group for my past and current study group members so we can help each other with homeopathic questions, remedies, etc. My students find this to be one of the more valuable 'perks'!
As a Discovery Ambassador I am able to offer my students special discounted pricing off Joette's protocol courses.
I offer a 10% discount on my consultation services to past and current students, though in the interest of full disclosure, I am not taking on any new clients at this time.
Success Story Spotlight
As I get ready to lead the Feminopathy course next month, this short success story from one of my students seemed like a fitting contribution to the newsletter.
Sepia: Has been my new best friend!
"I have regained a desire to joyfully serve my family within the home again. Meals and keeping house became a burden, and Sepia lifted that. Sepia also has played a big part in enjoying intimacy again and taken away the pain I experienced during this time. Sepia has returned me to my younger happiness."
~ Andrea S.
Truly, when I consider the marriages that might have been saved if more women only knew about this amazing homeopathic medicine, it makes me long for so many more people to know there is help. If you are interested in learning more, join me for the Feminiopathy Study Group that begins in September!
