I’ll confess… it wasn't love at first sight. It took me a figurative minute to get on board with the idea of sarcodes. Once I discovered their unbelievable usefulness… I’m not looking back.

​There is one problem with this sarcode love… I hate that we don’t have more readily available information on how to use them! The schools I attended (as fantastic as they were) touched on sarcodes, but I was definitely left with wanting to know more about the how’s and why’s and when’s. As a result, I have taken pretty much every course available and purchased every book I could find on sarcodes.

​This is what this article is all about — spreading the good word, sharing the love of homeopathic sarcodes.
​
It is very important to note that neither these books nor this article will actually teach you the how’s and why’s and when’s of using sarcodes. These books are useful once you have learned how to use the sarcodes.

​What are sarcodes, again?
(See also: Sodes and Codes if you are unfamiliar with the term.)

​Sarcodes are homeopathic remedies made from healthy tissues or secretions, generally taken from healthy animals. “Any physiological processes can be a sarcode remedy” (Johnson 2016).

• tissues (such as thyroid, tendon, thymus gland, hypothalamus, cartilage, to name but a few) — essentially every piece of a body can be made into a sarcode
• healthy secretions (substances like adrenaline, cortisol, histamine, lactic acid) can be made into a sarcode
• the matridonals are remedies made from the hormones and substances from, as the name says, the mother and are considered sarcodes
• lacs, or the milks, are a whole other class unto themselves but are also considered sarcodes.

Matridonals and Lacs are for another day.

​Are sarcodes the same thing as organotherapy, or something different?
This, of course, is not a straight forward answer. I believe this discrepancy often comes down to individual authors.

Dr. Thasleena M has literally just this week published Sarcodes: The Organ Language of the Vital Force: Understanding, Selecting and Using Organ Remedies in Homeopathy. 

​She provides an opportunity to cut through the noise in regard to “sarcode” vs “organotherapy.” She lists 4 different kinds of sarcodes (on page 6):

• glandular
• organ
• tissue
• enzyme/hormonal

​This list may shed some light on our confusion: many of the “glands” she mentions are also considered “organs”; and, she lists other organs, like skin and bones, as “tissues”. This shows us one way these terms can be confused.

Organotherapy may use sarcodes. Sarcodes may be used to help ailing organs. Sarcodes may be made from organs. See where all this confusion is coming from?

​So,what is organotherapy then?
Organotherapy is a homeopathic therapeutic approach that uses remedies targeted specifically at organs, glands or systems to stimulate, regulate or normalize their function. The remedies used may be “standard” homeopathic remedies or they may be cell salts or gemmos or sarcodes or even nosodes — thus making organotherapy a much larger topic than sarcodes alone. Today, we’re sticking with just sarcodes.

Just to make it a little more confusing, organotherapy is also used in allopathic medicine, though most versions used today are synthesized in the lab… think: hormone replacement therapy, thyroid and glucocorticoids to treat adrenal insufficiency, etc.
​
Historically speaking, if someone had a thyroid issue, allopathic physicians would use the whole desiccated thyroid gland (and still used today, actually), generally from a healthy pig (porcine), to treat this problem (Heald et al. 2024). The benefit of this method is that you get the entire thyroid gland and all its supposed goodness. The counter argument, they say, is that not everybody needs all the thyroid extras.

​Today, if you go to your doctor with this complaint, you are most likely going to be given Levothyroxine which is a synthesized form of thyroxine from L-tyrosine, a naturally occurring amino acid, resulting in a synthetic version which is “chemically identical to the naturally produced thyroid hormone thyroxine” (Drugbank). 

As I recall hearing years ago, the main reason as to why they made the switch to a synthetic product was to be able to control the dose. A logical thought. But, in my never-to-be-humble opinion, I think it misses the point. The point, to my mind, is to re-teach the thyroid what it is supposed to be doing. In an ideal world, this supplementation would not be taken forever. (I know, some people absolutely require thyroid replacement to live. I’m talking about a poorly functioning thyroid, not a missing or completely defunct thyroid.) Note: I am not here to argue one side or the other, I am just laying out the history of thyroid medication and how it relates to homeopathic sarcodes.

However, it’s not always straight forward. Of course it isnt!

Sticking with the thyroid example, even though the thyroid is what appears to be the problem, (most likely via blood testing), it could actually be another endocrine gland above or below the thyroid in the endocrine chain that is making a nuisance of itself: the hypothalamus or the pituitary (posterior, anterior or the whole thing), for instance. In other words, simply because someone is seemingly struggling with thyroid issues, that doesn’t mean that the use of Thyroidinum is a slam dunk. Our bodies aren’t always so accommodatingly simple, unfortunately.

​OK, but what do sarcodes actually do?
Sarcodes (from Tenka 2021):

• balance organs, glands or tissue activity
• slow down accelerated organs, glands or tissue activity
• stimulate sluggish organs, glands or tissue activity…

I like to think of sarcodes as a little kick in the keister — they serve as a reminder to the body, giving a gentle nudge to remind the various aspects of the anatomical system what their job is and how to do it… properly.

​Back to the books, please.
Getting back to this brand new book by Dr. Thasleena M… it is probably one of the most useful books on sarcodes I have found to date. (It’s one of only three in this list solely dedicated to sarcodes.) The author does a really nice job explaining sarcodes with charts describing the main indications for the use of various sarcodes and where one might expect to see their use, i.e., gynecology may use this group of sarcodes and pediatrics or geriatrics may use different groups.

​From here, she works through the various sarcodes and provides information on:

• source and preparation
• sphere of action
• essence of the remedy
• a small materia medica
• clinical indications
• remedy relationships to both other sarcodes as well as homeopathic remedies
• and ends with a small graph of differential diagnoses and indicated remedies

It’s a short book but it looks like it will be a very useful resource (and, its available on Kindle for easy searching)!

​Jerry van den Bosch* has written what is probably the most practical approach to these remedies: Sarcodes — The Hidden Gems of Homeopathic Medicine: A Comprehensive Guide to Homeopathic Healing with Organotherapy. This is a tiny book, just 75 small pages, but, once you learn how to use it*, they are very valuable pages.

​What does he have to say about organotherapy?
Mr. Van den Bosch seems to be one of the authors who uses sarcode and organotherapy interchangeably and he very helpfully tells us (on page 11):

Before his book even gets going, Van den Bosch says:

I can relate to his statement of needing firsthand experience — both with sarcodes in general and his method in specific.

​The bulk of Van den Bosch’s book is laid out very simply: indications by body part, followed by the sarcode/s he suggests for each. In a few instances, he includes detailed instructions with which doses to take and when.

CAUTION: there is a language barrier!

• All of his potencies are based on remedies from Boiron in France — e.g., 4CH or 8DH (unless otherwise stated). To my knowledge, we can’t get these potencies outside of France. Van den Bosch* says these specific potencies and the Boiron preparation of these remedies makes a difference. He says even though you can get similar remedies from places like Helios, they are different. I leave it to you to figure out and decide.
• Another quite important note on Van den Bosch’s book: all of the remedy names are in French, so have your French/English dictionary handy.

​Despite these little hiccups, overcoming the language barrier has been worth it in my opinion. I have tried some of these French sarcodes and I have been very pleasantly surprised.

​Berkeley Squire’s (2011), A Repertory of Homeopathic Nosodes & Sarcodes
Like Van den Bosch’s book, this one left me a little perplexed for a while, too. It’s called a repertory, but despite it being a thick volume, it felt a little thin on information at first.

I was listening to a Gaurang Gaikwad lecture and the penny dropped for me on this book. The introduction acknowledges this is a different sort of book: “So, it must be viewed as the definitive book upon them [nosodes and sarcodes], for an index is the soul of a book.” It is indeed more like an index than any repertory I’m used to using. Most symptoms list pretty much just one or two remedies and most of the remedies appear to be nosodes, not sarcodes. However, it is an excellent resource for confirmatory symptoms.

​Speaking of repertories… sarcodes don’t pop up too often — which is why the need for so many dedicated books.

​Part of the reason for this is, generally speaking, sarcodes don’t undergo classic large-scale Hahnemannian provings. The materia medicae of sarcodes are developed by combining toxicological effects from crude preparations, as well as “knowledge of their pharmacological actions,” mixed with clinical experience (Nayak et al. 2016). In short, we only know what we know about sarcodes and there is a lot left to be discovered in terms of sarcode benefits. I think we’ll have to wait patiently for thorough provings to be conducted.

Back to Berkeley Squire’s book… the final couple of pages are “Remedy Relationships” — a useful little list of sarcodes and nosodes and their related “standard” homeopathic remedies.

​Chaturbhuja Nayak’s Homeopathic Materia Medica of Sarcodes.
This is a thorough book with each entry having an introduction about the substance; the source and preparation of the substance; who proved it and when; sphere of action; clinical conditions; characteristic features and then followed by a few pages of symptomatology. Each chapter ends with a dose and potency section, cautions, comparisons and “success stories of reputed clinicians”. The size of the symptomatology for each entry is rather thin compared to some of the other books in this list.

​Note: about the middle third of this book is dedicated to the Lacs.

​Gaurang Gaikwad’s Materia Medica of Nosodes & Sarcodes.
Each of the remedies (20 sarcodes, 27 nosodes and 7 bowel nosodes) are fleshed out quickly through bullet points followed by clinical diseases in which it would be useful and a bit of materia medica from notable sources. Some of the entries are very short but a couple of others include cases.

​B.K. Sarkar’s Up-to-date with Nosodes and Sarcodes.
I really like the size of this no-nonsense, straight to the point book, but it only has write-ups for just a couple of sarcodes. Most of the book is dedicated to nosodes, bowel nosodes and some more unusual remedies like the Magnetis polis, X-ray and Electricity.

​Most of the sarcode books out there are materia medicae and I am very grateful to have them. Some are more complete than others; but, unfortunately, there is not one single source that I have found to cover everything. I wish I could provide one simple title with all the possible sarcodes with full write-ups to guide us to applicable sarcodes for every needed situation, but I guess we’ll just have to wait. In the meantime, share the homeopathy love. 💕

A quickie look at what is in each of these books.

Margriet Plouvier-Suijs’ About Potencies

• It says in the forward: “Suijs has created an extremely workable overview of the functioning of different potencies by systematically and logically arranging her observations of the therapeutic effect after prescription. This is a great support when we try to choose the appropriate potency for a case.”
• She then works through the potencies. For example, she begins with the heading, “3x-6x, 3c, 4c” and talks about the effects of these low potencies (they have a stimulating effect) and how they are used in organotherapy.
• For each potency group, we learn “characteristic words or language related to these potencies” and then followed by various cases which follow each characteristic word.
  • she provides the words for 9c, but says, “Unfortunately I have no example…” fortunately for us, the rest of her sections do have examples.
• She also, interestingly, equates C/K potencies to LM potencies.
• This book is unlike any other I have used and though it has been sitting on my shelf for a long time, mostly unread, I am going to be digging in a little more frequently from now on.

Select your Dose and Potency by Dr. P.S. Rawat

• I found the introduction to be the most useful — it’s short, but full of information.
• The bulk of the book is a list of homeopathic remedies and which historical homeopaths (denoted by initials) used which potency, plus any notes of relevance. Sometimes a potency is tied to a specific condition, but more often not. For example, Eupatorium perforliatum says: “1. Tincture, to third attenuation (WB). 2. 20th and 200th potencies are generally used. 3. Bears repetition well (KNM). 4. Allen recommends it to be applied locally in sore nipple and sore mouth.” This entry continues through number 12, and I won’t be putting it all here, but I wanted to give a flavor of the book.
• Some entries are much more fleshed out and more useful than others. Magnesia Phosphorica, for example, goes on for a couple of pages, with 35 entries, most with specific uses and potencies.
  • Irksome, but not a big deal: not all the initials line up with the abbreviation list. The first entry for Abies Canadensis attributes point 1 to (WB) and point 5 to (BW). However, in the list, BW = A.C. Blackwood but there is no WB. There is a WKB (W.K. Bond), but we can only assume this is the same as WB.

The Potency: Advanced Prescribing in Homeopathy by Dr. Joe Rozencwajg (I have more coming soon using this book)

• Dr. Rozencwajg begins this book talking about various methods of potency, but what it is mostly about is the Fibonacci Potencies: “a unified theory and practice of modern homeopathic posology.”
• I have not completed this book yet, but I look forward to learning this system. So intriguing! But, this is not what my upcoming article is about.

Michelle Shine’s What About the Potency: (A Comprehensive Guide to Homeopathic Potency and Dosage)

• I found this book the most helpful out of the four for my purposes. The first half of the book is a series of the author’s cases and what happened with each. Interspersed are short write-ups of various topics, such as:
  • the constitutional remedy v prescribing for the disease
  • what is homeopathic potency
  • changing potency
  • depths and layers
  • plussing remedies
• The second half of the book (and what I found most interesting) are transcripts of her interviews with 10 well-know homeopaths and their thoughts on potency selection.
  • Mike Bridger, Ian Watson, Jeremy Sherr and others

Happy Reading!

A Ruminating on Remedies reader (who had read The Narayani Kit) emailed the other day asking about the books mentioned in that article. That email prompted this brief breakdown of the available Narayani books.

Bear in mind, all of these books all have the same basic information. The Narayani Remedies are what they are and I don’t think they are going to change any time soon.

The first book I purchased was edited by Robert Davidson. It has ~100 pages and is the most basic option. Thinking back, there was something missing in this book for me to go off and find other options. I can’t elaborate, but it didn’t feel complete. Amazon shows this selling for $59.99.

• A-Z listing of all the remedies.

Nimisha Parekh’s book followed Davidson in my collection. At ~130 pages, this has much more information. Amazon shows this selling for $48, but the price listed on the book is $60. Narayaniremedies.com sells it for $39.95. Taproots sells it for $49.99. Nimisha Parekh also runs webinars on the Narayani Remedies and I believe she works directly with narayaniremedies.com.

• This one gives more basic information at the beginning, specifically, describing the 8 remedy groups. ex. “The 117 mixtures are mainly combinations of homeopathic remedies and Gem or Bach remedies. Their potency range is 3x to 50M.” She breaks down what each of the remedy groups are.
  • Includes:
    • A-Z listing of all the same information found in Davidson’s book.
    • Chakra Healing information
    • Gem Colour Healing
    • Meridien Remedies
    • The New 44 Crystal Remedies
    • Omkar Remedies
    • Five Elements
    • Cranial Nerves
    • Single Organ Remedies
    • Therapeutic Index
    • Plus, a mini book tucked into the back cover with Addendum (useful combinations) + Thymus Gland Combination Remedies

Helios (~123 pages) was my third addition and I was sold when reading the description saying it was “updated and revised.” (“Cleaned up” might be a better description, though; it’s a neat, tidy and smaller edition.) Available at Helios for £9.95.

• The preface says it is “a reworking of the original ‘Soham Series of Natural Healing Volume 3,’ by Swami Narayani… It also acknowledges Robert Davidson’s ‘Materia Medica’ [first book listed above]… a much needed opportunity to correct some errors in both numbering and potency that have crept in over time in the printed documentation.… modernized the more archaic language from the original… some of the remedy names have been updated so they are clearer to identify and differentiate. The indexes have also been re-worked in order to make it easier to search for remedies and each entry has now been cross-referenced so navigation through the text is simpler.”

Swami Narayani’s Soham Series of Natural Healing, Volume 3. I felt the need to see what I was missing in other people’s interpretation. Turns out it’s not much**; the others did a good job compiling the information. Plus, I find this version doesn’t flow as nicely visually and it is laid out numerically, not alphabetically. (The other 3 list “Acidity Mix 37” first and this one lists Mix 1 Amoebic Dysentery first.) It does, however, offer rates, so if that’s your thing, here they are.

​What do all three books share? Almost everything:

• A-Z directory of remedies with pretty much identical information. (Any differences I found are not relevant, except Parekh’s extended information which I find helpful.)
• Using the first entry in all three books, The Acidity mix 37, the information is identical between 1 & 2 (with the exception of what has been singled out as bold type — Davidson bolds the conditions in the body and Parekh bolds which remedies can be used in conjunction with it). The Helios copy has removed the bold type and italicized the mix names and added their specific combo (e.g. Liver Mix 22 or Liver Balance BR12) with which the Acidity Mix can be combined.
  • This inclusion of the specific remedies is actually helpful. There are 3 different “Liver” combos and there are 3 different “Digestion” combos. Not a huge deal, but it does make it easier and faster.
• They are each spiral bound. (Narayani’s Soham Series of Natural Healing, volume 3 is not.)
• “Therapeutic Guide” pages at the back of each. There are a couple of differences here, primarily in how they are laid out.
  • Davidson has “A Small Therapeutic Guide” listing 11 “conditions” and then lists: “Parts/Organs; Sensory; Allergy; Psycho-Spiritual Combinations; General Diseases and Other Diseases.”
  • Helios has “A Concise Therapeutic Guide” listing the same 11 “conditions” and then: “Parts/Organs; Sensory; Allergy; Psycho-Spiritual Combinations.” However, Helios has a few different combinations mentioned under some of these headings.
    • “Immunity,” Davidson lists 4, Helios lists 5.
    • “Trauma/Fear,” Davidson lists 4, Helios lists 6.
  • Parekh’s “Therapeutic Index” is laid out differently.
    • For instance, “Immunity” is not listed and all the “Trauma/fear” remedies are under “Mind” but it also includes “Exam Nerves” separately. This is one very minor area where Parekh’s book falls short.
• A few of the remedies have different names. e.g., Mix 117, according to Narayani, (and Davidson and Parekh), is “Anti-Smoking Remedy.” Helios calls it “Smoking (Cessation)”.
  
  

​Which one to buy?
For the money, Helios wins that one hands down. Yes, it has to ship from the UK, but you know you need to purchase a few remedies from them anyway — making the whole thing worth it!

From the information standpoint, Nimisha Parekh provides the most and this is info that is not readily available elsewhere.

The Helios book is the most clearly written (and smallest). But, I like the Nimisha Parekh copy, too — more information.

I hope that helps. I’ll be back soon with some more Narayani info.

​*All prices are valid at the time of this writing.
*I have no affiliation with any authors or shops or websites listed.
**Full disclosure, I have only skimmed through Swami Narayani’s books and I have yet to comb through to see if there are any nuggets that speak to me which the other gatherers of this information didn’t choose to highlight. If I come up with any, I’ll let you know!

This is it! This is the year to fully embrace homeopathy.

If you have already made the jump - congratulations! If so, then this is the year to learn more and/or share what you know. (Find the appropriate step number for you below and proceed from there.)

How does one go about fully embracing homeopathy?

Step 1: Purchase a homeopathic kit.
I suggest a kit because then you have everything you need in one place. Don’t make this harder than it has to be. Don’t make the distribution of various remedies around your house an obstacle to cure. I guarantee you know where you keep your Tylenol or your Advil. Am I right? Now, give this homeopathic kit pride of place. Once you learn to use these remedies, your over the counter medications will be relegated to the back of the cupboard, and that’s a good thing — you want to engage your immune system to help heal you, not bypass it.

If you already have a good assortment of remedies, it’s time to wrangle them. See here for some ideas. 

Step 2: Buy a good “starter” book.
There are lots of them out there, I am happy to say. I particularly like the following:

• The Homeopath in Your Hand by Lisa Strbac 
• Homeopathic Remedies by Asa Hershoff
• Homeopathy: An A to Z Home Handbook by Alan Schmukler 
• Family Guide to Homeopathy by Andrew Lockie
• What’s the Remedy for That by Kathleen Fry

If you are already comfortable with steps 1 & 2, I suggest it’s time to purchase a repertory and a materia medica. These books aren’t cheap, but they are so worth it. I know there are plenty of free versions on line, but I highly suggest purchasing an actual book. Working your way through the book has many benefits that just doing an online search can’t give you. You will get a feel for the method behind the madness when you can flip between pages of symptoms and mark up your own copy of a materia medica.

Many homeopaths would recommend starting with Kent. I’m not going to do that. Start in the modern age and treat yourself to a Murphy. It doesn’t have to be brand new, good used copies are out there. It doesn’t have to be the newest edition. Just purchase whatever version you can get of Dr. Robin Murphy’s Repertory and Murphy’s Nature’s Materia Medica. As I write this, these books are on sale at Lotus Wellness Cottage. (Dr. Murphy is no longer with us, but his wife Judith Toscano, ND carries on the goodness.)

Another option for someone who has “outgrown” the starter books (you will never outgrow these books, but it was the best word I had for someone who is hungry for more) is Roger Morrison’s Desktop Guide: To Keynotes and Confirmatory Symptoms. Dr. Morrison describes 100+ of the most commonly used homeopathic remedies and breaks them each down into keynote symptoms. Note: I have heard rumblings that Dr. Morrison is updating this marvelous book but I have not heard any details.

Step 3: Try it!
Try your hand on your own symptoms. I’m not suggesting you tackle years’ long migraines on your own to start (though, you might pleasantly surprise yourself if you do). Start with something small.

Upset stomach from New Year’s Eve over-indulgence? Try some Nux vomica and see what happens.

Sore back from hefting the Christmas tree out the door? Try some Arnica or Rhus tox and see what happens. (See ...Rhymes with Box.)

Try it on your pet. Homeopathy to the rescue for dogs; What hurts?; PTSD

Loved one have the sniffles? Try some Cold Calm.

The next time you have over done it or are feeling poorly, stop and think. What is it I have done? When did these symptoms start? What is it my body needs to heal? What am I feeling? What makes me feel better? What makes me feel worse? (Things that make you feel better or worse are termed “modalities” and can be helpful guiding symptoms to the “right” remedy.)

The more you use homeopathy, the more impressed you will become with this method of healing.

Step 4: Share it!
Once you have a few homeopathic “wins” under your belt, see how you can help your friend or neighbor.

Best friend have plantar fasciitis? 

Nephew get a little too much sun? 

Neighbor having knee trouble? 

Mother-in-law suffering with her arthritis?

Step 5: Listen to some podcasts.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how many homeopathy podcasts are actually out there. Here are just a few… some of which I have listened to and some I am still waiting to tune in (there aren’t enough hours in the day for all the marvelous homeopathy things out there!)

Homeopathy Hangout, Eugenie Krüger
The Home Prescriber, Marcus Fernandez
Intuitive Homeopathy, Angelica Lemke
Homeopathy at Home with Melissa, Melissa Crenshaw
Homeopathy for Mommies, Sue Meyer
Strange. Rare. Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray
Health and Homeopathy, Angela Bloch
Raw Health Rebel, Lisa Strbac

Step 6: Join some groups, or start a group.
Once you catch the homeopathy bug, you’re going to want to talk about it. There are many free groups on Facebook. Joette Calabrese has her Mighties group. Or, grab a friend or two and bring them along on the journey.

Step 7: Ready for more?
Sign up for an online class. Here are a few suggestions to get you started.

CHE, the Centre for Homeopathic Education, has a great free introductory class taught by Hilary Dorrian. 

Once you see how marvelous that class is, you can sign up for CHE Pro, which they call the “Netflix of homeopathy” — you can try it free for 30 days. 

School of Health has many courses to offer. Each of the below courses are £249 for international (not based in the UK) students. 

• Homeopathy First Aid for Home  
• Homeopathy First Aid for Baby 
• Homeoapathy First Aid for Pets 

Joette Calabrese is where I got my homeopathic start. Joette offers many courses beginning with her Gateway classes ($67.91) to a variety of “protocol” courses focusing on the Banerji Protocols… Allergic, Feminopathy, Good Gut Bad Gut, etc.

Homeopathy Heals: Everything you need to get started, Lisa Strbac: £122  

Homeopathy 101, taught by Judith Toscano, C. Hom, $150  

Step 8: Spread the good word!

2024 feels like a good time for Homeopathy to come into its own… 200 years later!

The other day I saw an interview on a UK morning talk show all about homeopathy after it became known that King Charles has appointed an MD/homeopath as head of the royal medical household. (This was a role founded by his mother in 1973. Did you know the royal family have been big proponents of homeopathy since the early 19th century?)

Then, the other night we saw an ad on television for a (semi) homeopathic product. Shocking, I tell you!

Introducing Homeopathy: The Film is in production. I can’t wait for this one! 

For whatever reason, homeopathy has been kept in the closet for too long. It is more than time to bring this incredible healing modality into the light.

I wish you a joyful, healthy and prosperous 2024!
