Energy Remedies
When I was a student of homeopathy, one of the requirements was to go through a year of Heilkunst and Homeopathic treatment myself. Physician, heal thyself, as the saying goes. At the time I lived in Taiwan and my practitioner in Canada. She would go to the post office to mail me my remedies, and then send me the bill - the consultation cost plus the postage fee.
After a few months, I noticed something strange. The remedies would begin to work not when I took them, but right after I paid for them via credit card. It was as if she mailing the remedies, and me paying, somehow completed the transaction and that's when healing began. The shift would begin before the remedy even arrived.
We eventually agreed to use paper remedies - writing the name and potency of the remedy on a piece of paper and carrying it in my pocket or placing it under my pillow. It worked. And it saved time, shipping delays, and unnecessary costs.
One night, after placing a paper labeled Staphysagria 200C in my pocket, I vomited violently. But the next day, pain I had carried for months vanished. I was stunned - and convinced.
A couple of years later, when I became a homeopath myself and moved to Japan, I encountered the same shipping issues many international practitioners face: expensive express mail, delays, packages lost to customs, and seemingly endless battles with postal regulations over trace amounts of alcohol in flower essences and homeopathic dilutions. It was exhausting and costly.
That’s when I returned to energy remedies. And now, I use them most of the time.
What Are Energy Remedies?
Energy remedies are forms of homeopathic medicine that do not require a physical substance. They are made and delivered through informational imprinting, vibrational resonance, or intentional transfer—often in the form of a paper remedy.
A paper remedy is as simple as it sounds: the name and potency of the remedy is written on a piece of paper. That paper is then kept near the body, under a pillow, or placed under a glass of water to "charge" it. The results, in my experience, are indistinguishable from conventional homeopathic drops or pellets—provided the remedy is high enough in potency.
How It Works
This kind of healing may seem mysterious, but it draws from real science and deep tradition. Once a homeopathic remedy reaches a high enough dilution (typically beyond 12C or 24X), it contains no measurable molecules of the original substance. Yet the remedy still works—because the water (or alcohol) has retained the energetic imprint of the substance. In short: once we understand that a remedy is a frequency, not a substance, the method of delivery becomes far more flexible.
Why I Use Them
For many of my clients, especially those in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, paper remedies are simply the most practical and efficient option. They:
-
Avoid shipping fees and delays
-
Bypass customs and alcohol restrictions
-
Are fast to create and send (via scan, mail, or even email)
-
Work just as well as physical remedies—especially at potencies above 20C
I always inform my clients about the nature of energy remedies. Many are intrigued. Some are skeptical at first. But once they try it, most are amazed at the results.
And of course you are the client. The choice is always yours. If you prefer a physical remedy, I will ship it directly to you via drop-shipping from a trusted North American supplier. This is especially useful for low-potency remedies, cell salts, flower essences, or gemmotherapy, which do still contain physical material.
A Fascinating History
The idea that healing can happen at a distance, without substance, is not new. From ancient prayers to modern radionics, people have long tapped into invisible forces to restore balance.
Ancient Traditions of Healing Prayer
Long before modern science explored energy or vibration, ancient cultures knew that healing could happen at a distance. Across the world, healers, priests, monks, and shamans used focused intention, prayer, and sacred sound to bring about transformation—often without ever touching the patient.
In Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions, people prayed for the sick and believed those prayers carried divine power. Jesus was said to heal with words alone, sometimes even from afar. In Buddhist and Hindu practice, chanting mantras or sending compassion (metta) was thought to influence the physical and emotional wellbeing of others—even those not present.
In many indigenous cultures, shamans entered altered states to travel energetically and heal distant clients. These practices weren’t symbolic—they were believed to be real and effective.
These ancient systems all share the belief that consciousness, word, and intention are healing forces. In many ways, energetic medicine today—whether in the form of paper remedies or digital signals—simply carries this timeless wisdom into modern language.
Dr. Jacques Benveniste (1935–2004)
Dr. Jacques Benveniste was a French immunologist who made one of the most controversial discoveries in modern medicine: the idea that water can retain the energetic “memory” of substances once dissolved in it—even after all physical traces are gone.
In 1988, he published research in Nature showing that highly diluted solutions of histamine could still affect immune cells, defying known chemistry. He suggested that water had stored the information of the substance. This concept, if true, could explain how high-potency homeopathic remedies work.
Though the study was quickly discredited and Benveniste was pushed out of the scientific establishment, he continued his research. In the 1990s, he claimed to have recorded the electromagnetic signature of a substance, emailed it across continents, and imprinted it into water remotely—with the same biological effects.
His method of transmitting biological signals through sound waves or computer files became known as digital biology. While the mainstream rejected his work, many in alternative medicine embraced it as scientific proof that energy and information—not matter—carry healing potential.
Benveniste’s courage to explore the unknown laid the groundwork for many forms of vibrational medicine we use today.
Prof. Luc Montagnier (1932–2022)
Luc Montagnier was a French virologist and co-discoverer of the HIV virus, for which he received the Nobel Prize. In the later years of his career, he turned his attention to water, electromagnetic fields, and informational medicine—a move that shocked the scientific world.
Montagnier conducted experiments suggesting that DNA emits low-frequency electromagnetic waves, which could be detected in water even after the DNA had been removed. He further claimed that these signals could be digitally recorded, transmitted to another lab, and then used to reconstruct the DNA from scratch using only water and frequency.
His work echoed Jacques Benveniste’s, whom he cited as a forerunner. Montagnier believed that water could serve as a medium for biological information, capable of retaining and transmitting health-related patterns without physical molecules present.
Though his later research was controversial and met with skepticism, Montagnier’s reputation gave weight to the idea that information itself could be healing. His support of homeopathy and energetic principles helped re-open scientific inquiry into subtle energy fields and the role of intention and vibration in biology.
His work bridges the gap between mainstream science and frontier medicine, offering a glimpse of what future healing may look like.
Dr. Cyril Smith (1930–2023)
Dr. Cyril Smith was a British physicist whose research explored how electromagnetic frequencies interact with the human body. Trained in conventional science, he later became a pioneer in the field of bioelectromagnetics - the study of how subtle fields influence biology.
Smith discovered that the body could be sensitive to extremely low-frequency fields, sometimes reacting even when no measurable energy was present. He worked closely with homeopaths and alternative medicine practitioners to test the effects of various frequencies on health, including those associated with remedies and allergens.
He found that every substance had a frequency “signature”, and that healing could occur by exposing the body to a harmonious vibration—even in the absence of a physical substance. His work supported the theory that information and frequency matter more than material dosage.
Smith also explored how water could carry these frequency patterns and how living systems responded not just to energy but to frequency-specific information. His findings gave a scientific backbone to what many energy medicine practitioners had long known through experience.
By blending rigorous scientific inquiry with openness to the unknown, Dr. Smith offered a powerful framework for understanding how vibrational healing works.
Dr. Emoto Masaru (1943–2014)
Dr. Masaru Emoto was a Japanese researcher who became widely known for his photographic work on water crystals. He found that water exposed to words, music, or emotions would form beautiful, symmetrical crystals when frozen—while water exposed to anger or negativity would form disordered or fragmented shapes.
Emoto’s method was simple: he labeled water bottles with different words or phrases (like “love” or “hate”), exposed the water to that intention, then froze and photographed the resulting crystals under a microscope. The stark contrast between harmonious and chaotic patterns suggested that water responds to vibration—even from thought.
His book The Hidden Messages in Water became an international bestseller and helped bridge Eastern spiritual ideas with Western interest in energy medicine. For those working with energetic remedies, Emoto’s snowflake images offered a compelling metaphor: even water carries memory, and every intention has form.
