Milk Matters - April 2009


Dear Colleague

Welcome to the first edition of my Newsletter which is to be devoted to Lac cases and discussion of clinical cases related to breasts and breastfeeding.

With over 30 years experience of working with mothers and babies (20 of them as a lactation consultant) and 15 as a homoeopath I have much to share with you in this particular area of clinical expertise.

Please feel free to share this with another colleague or student of Homoeopathy as this Newsletter service is free and open to all colleagues who have an interest in this area. To be added to my email list simply requires an email to enquiries@patriciahatherly.com asking to be included. Similarly, if this is of no interest to you please email me and I'll have your name removed from the list of subscribers.

In this first edition I'd like to share with you a prescription of Lac-drom as it's a relatively new Lac remedy with no cases yet published. I hope it assists you in getting to grips with an important aspect of the remedy which, like several of the Lacs, has a theme of Baby/Mothering.

There have been 2 provings of Lac-drom. The first, by Nadia Bakir, is available for perusal on the internet. However there was a second proving undertaken and nothing was done with the proving diaries. Mirsada Vins has kindly passed them on to me and all the material from that proving will be incorporated into the Materia Medica of Lac Cameli Dromedari which is one of the 20 Lacs included in my proposed new book: The Lacs: a Materia Medica and Repertory.

I hope that you find what I have to share both interesting and beneficial.

Best wishes
Patricia Hatherly
