Dynamic Herbal Energy
and Homeobotanical Remedies

Homeobotanical therapy, and its dynamic herbal energy, are relative newcomers to the world of herbal medicine and vibrational energy healing.

They were introduced about forty years ago in New Zealand by Dr. Brian Murray and his team. Dr. Murray wanted to make herbal formulas accessible to all his patients. He blended herbal tinctures into a range of remedies that cover common health concerns. These remedies are reasonably priced and safe for everyone including infants, the elderly, sensitive individuals and animals.

Most Hb practitioners are in New Zealand, Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. It is still a relatively new therapy that is unknown to most people.

What are Homeobotanicals?

When ready to be used, these tinctures are mixed and matched with other formulas in the series. They are diluted in a base before being pounded or potentized to activate the dynamic herbal energy. Even after dilution they contain physical plant constituents.

Homeobotanicals are unique in that they are liquid botanical extracts that are homeopathically potentized. This dynamic herbal energy enhances their effectiveness. Due to the level of dilution and potentization, homeobotanicals access both homeopathic and herbal actions of the remedy.

All remedies are the same exact potency and can be blended freely based on client needs. Dr. Murray found that when these preparations were diluted to 1.5x, their therapeutic action increased dramatically over higher or lower dilutions. Only this precise dilution activates the dynamic herbal energy to that extent. All other dilutions showed less action.

The mother tincture is sometimes used undiluted to make creams or washes.

Homeobotanicals work in four ways.

• They open drainage channels and stimulate removal of metabolic and environmental toxins.
• Nutrients in the remedies assist the with absorption of minerals and other nutrients.
• They support other therapies and help them be more effective, especially nutritional support.
• Potentizing the remedies cause them to work at the vibrational level just outside the physical body called the etheric body. By affecting the energy field, the herbal energy supports the body so it can return to balance and health. The formulas initiate homeostasis or balance to the organs and systems of the body.

  It is your own homeostatic responses that determines the healing action. When flower essences are added to the blend, the vibrational potential of the remedy can expand to the entire field.

Traditional use of homeobotanical remedies is three drops three times a day. In acute situations such as when you have a cold, the remedy would be taken more often throughout the day until symptoms abate. Some individuals or situations call for smaller doses, others more.

When supporting a person with a chronic health condition, remedies may be taken for many months. A one ounce bottle will last up to one month.

Depending upon your response to the remedy, you may notice a change in how you feel within or short time or it may take longer. Hbs are often used in conjunction with supplements and nutritional support. They are safe for people of all ages and have very few contraindications. Still, it would be wise to consult your health professional before using the remedies, especially if you are taking medications.

Remedies are available to individuals through certified Homeobotanical practitioners.

What is Homeobotanical Therapy?

Hb herbal energy initiates the entire healing response. The body is then more likely to respond positively to other modalities as well.

One of the basic tenants of homeobotanical therapy is "There is no one way to health."

Homeobotanical Therapy usually begins with a case-taking to help the client determine which formulas would best support them at this time. Then the practitioner would blend and potentize this formula and provide instructions for traditional use.

Here's an example of how this might work:

If a client wants support for asthma, Remedy A would be indicated. If the asthma is aggravated by allergies, Remedy U would be added. When an asthma attack is aggravated by persistent coughing, Remedy X is included. So this person's remedy would be AUX. If emotional support is needed (it usually is, a bit of Remedy E is blended in. An appropriate flower essence might be chosen as well.

The remedy by itself will start the healing response and can be quite effective in and of itself. But that is not usually where Hb Therapy stops. Clients are offered more support than that. S/he would be encouraged to continue prescribed medical treatment and support. Educational resources for reducing allergens in the home might be supplied.

The client might be instructed in using meridian tapping techniques to help alleviate the emotional component driving the allergies and/or the asthma. Nutritional support, exercise and stress reduction techniques are usually always helpful.

Some homeopaths trained in Hb Therapy will initiate drainage and the healing response using Hb remedies and their dynamic herbal energy before treating their patients with homeopathic cures.

Do Homeobotanical Remedies Work?

Perhaps a bigger question when it comes to vibrational remedies is whether a remedy can actually affect the field and is there really such a thing as 'herbal energy'? Current research and quantum physics is showing that everything is energy. So not only is it possible, but there's a strong possibility that energy healing is the healing of the future.

Many people report positive results from working with the remedies. Herbal remedies have been bringing healing relief to people for thousands of years.

In a study of 50 clinical cases submitted by six different clinicians, homeobotanical therapy was shown to be effective in 75% of those cases.

From my own experiences, I know they have an effect. Here's a personal story as an illustration.

While working on my Hb certification, my teenage son developed one of his persistent allergy induced coughs. Wanting to help him find relief, I researched the remedies and made a blend. Within minutes of administering the first few drops, he started coughing up a storm. It was worse than ever. What did I do? So back to the manual I went.

There it was. I had blended together two very effective formulas for coughing. The problem was, when mixed together they often create such a strong response that coughs worsens. So I mixed another remedy. His coughing lessened dramatically.

There were no other interventions used. My son had no clue what I was giving him other than a "Here, take this." I wasn't even sure I believed the remedies worked and was still skeptical.

Neither one of us knew about the intensified coughing response. And he didn't know I changed remedies. So this left no other conclusion than the fact that when properly diluted and chosen, the remedies can be very effective indeed.
