Classic Homeopathy in Berlin Wilmersdorf
Samuel Hahnemann founded homeopathy over 230 years ago, in 1790, developing remedies derived from plants, animals, minerals, and even disease germs. In the 1990s, Dr. Rajan Sankaran introduced innovative and groundbreaking ideas, creating what became known as "the new method," which gained considerable professional acclaim for its depth and effectiveness. Around 2005, I began practicing using Sankaran's method, gradually refining the anamnesis process through practical experience and patient feedback. More recently, in 2022, Indian homeopaths including Drs. Joshi developed the "MAP" method (Mineral-Animal-Plant), which significantly simplified and streamlined case analysis. Today, systematic homeopathy is gaining increasing recognition and acceptance worldwide as a valuable therapeutic approach.
A Homeopathic Case Study
(This is a fictional example. Due to the German Advertising of Medicines Act, I am not permitted to cite actual cases here.)
A young man comes to my practice with acute hay fever. He is particularly sensitive to grasses and various types of grain. He works in the creative media sector. Before his training, he studied but didn't find his passion. Then came the training, and he said, "I came out of my bubble." In addition to his rather quiet personality, I quickly notice his interest in oceanography. When I ask him about it, he describes his fascination: "It's deep and dark. You're alone. The weightlessness underwater is incredible. You dive down, and all you can see is the surface of the water. All you can see is the surface of the water, and the deeper you sink, the quieter it gets. It's the water, this depth and vastness, the sinking." As a teenager, he used to swim 3,000 meters at a time. The great thing about it was the automatism of it all—just moving through the water. When asked further, he quickly clarifies that he is not a “beach person”; he just likes being by and in the water.
I prescribe homeopathically prepared seawater, and the hay fever is gone at the follow-up appointment after five weeks. A year later, mild symptoms reappeared and were cured with another dose of seawater.
FAQ Homeopathy
-
When you make an appointment, you will receive a questionnaire by email. This must be completed by hand before the anamnesis appointment and sent to the practice by post in advance so that I can read the information beforehand. At the beginning of the treatment, we will meet for an initial anamnesis, which takes approximately 2–3 hours for adults (babies 1–1.5 hours, children 1.5–2 hours). After that, I will begin my case analysis and preparation, as well as the prescription of homeopathic medicine. After 4 weeks, there should be a follow-up consultation at the practice to observe the course of the case. After that, we will schedule appointments every 1–2 months, depending on the symptoms and needs. Homeopathic treatment is always part of life coaching.

A positive attitude is certainly very helpful. However, there are several scientific studies that have proven the effectiveness of homeopathy.
-
In Germany, alternative practitioners may only bill private health insurance companies and the Beihilfe (civil service health insurance). In many cases, it is advisable for those with statutory health insurance to take out supplementary private health insurance, which will cover the costs depending on the contractual benefits.
Insured persons with IKK Berlin Brandenburg can receive up to €150.00 in reimbursement per year for recognized naturopathic treatments listed in the Hufland directory.

In acute cases, recovery with homeopathy could be significantly shorter if the right remedy is chosen and the patient's vitality is strong. In chronic cases, healing could naturally take longer, as the causes that led to the illness are treated. A cure in the homeopathic sense could mean freedom from symptoms, which in conventional medical treatment is usually only achieved with constant medication.
-
The intervals between individual follow-up appointments are usually 4–8 weeks. The duration of treatment varies from patient to patient. Ideally, homeopathic treatment could accompany you throughout your life, as new symptoms can be incorporated into your case over time.
-
Homeopathy has a completely different approach to health and illness. Conventional medicine tends to view the human body as a chemical entity that needs to be supplied with substances. Homeopathy takes a more physical view of the human body, believing that the energies of the organism need to be brought into balance so that bodily processes can function properly again.
-
Homeopathic remedies can also cause side effects if used incorrectly. This is usually due to incorrect dosage or the use of the “wrong” remedy. For this reason, homeopathic remedies should not be prescribed and taken by laypeople themselves.
-
In theory, classical homeopathy could be used to treat all illnesses. As a naturopath, I am not permitted to treat all illnesses (prohibition under the Infection Protection Act of July 20, 2000, Federal Law Gazette I, p. 1045).
The success of treatment may depend on the severity of the disease and how long the patient has had the symptoms. The limits of homeopathy lie in irreversible organ damage, very old or weakened patients whose vitality is no longer sufficient for healing, and the knowledge of homeopathy currently available. We currently know of around 6,000 substances in homeopathy that are processed as homeopathic remedies. New findings and remedies are constantly being added. It is therefore always possible that a remedy that a future patient might need for healing has not yet been researched.
-
During the anamnesis interview, the homeopath attempts to gain a comprehensive picture of the patient. Not only are the symptoms recorded, but the homeopath also seeks to get to know and understand the patient's personality.

Holistic healing of body, mind and psyche
Most of my patients come to me with a specific health concern. They want to improve a condition they have been dealing with for some time. In addition to the physical symptoms of an illness, there are often mental and psychological abnormalities as well. They may develop more fears, which can lead to panic attacks, or experience emotional breakdowns or outbursts that interfere with their social life. Their sleep is interrupted, their nerves are unstable, and they have a short temper. A certain life situation has led to trauma. As a homeopath, I listen not only to specific complaints, but also to other issues in need of healing.
Individual case taking
During the initial consultation, the patient discusses all their primary concerns. By observing how the person speaks and perceives their complaints, I can determine which of the three natural kingdoms—plants, animals, or minerals—the right homeopathic remedy may come from.
We categorize the remedies we prescribe into three major natural kingdoms: plants, animals, and minerals. During the consultation, I pay close attention to the patient's specific descriptions of their complaints. Through repeated questioning and description, I discern the natural kingdom based on the individual's description, hand gestures, sensations, associations, and choice of words.
Then, the finer distinctions in the natural world continue. For instance, even if it quickly becomes clear that the remedy comes from the animal kingdom, we still need to identify the correct animal group and species (mammals, reptiles, marine animals, insects, etc.). More information about the patient's nature, fascinations, aversions, preferences, interests, hobbies, and lifestyle can help us determine this.
Sometimes, during the initial anamnesis, we go directly to the source level, and the right substance is easy to find. In some cases, this is only possible after several consultations.
Currently, there are approximately 6,000 substances used to make homeopathic remedies. It is impossible to know all of these remedies. However, modern computer programs and case collections now allow professionals to search for a remedy or specific substance for a patient in a new way.
Quantum Medicine
Homeopathy is purely an information-based medicine. We absorb the information of a substance that resonates with our life force. This correct energy information restores balance, alleviating or even curing illnesses, symptoms, and complaints. Modern quantum physics confirms that we can change physical things through intention and the right information.
Nowadays, we live with constant information transmission. We make phone calls every day, and when we dial the right number, we get the right person. We can apply this concept to the flow of information about medicine and vitality.
In a few years, modern physics will undoubtedly prove the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine. We can look forward to seeing what happens.
