Love is a thorn in my eye:

a case of Prunus spinosa

As we all know, homeopathy arouses a lot of resistance. Sceptics say that it cannot work because "there is nothing in it". Sometimes I meet someone with a traditional Christian background who cannot accept the high potencies because they believe occult forces are at work. Homeopathy is sometimes thrown into a murky swamp together with black magic, voodoo and satanic rituals. Yet I must admit that sometimes it really does seem as if magical forces are at work in homeopathy. I myself am often astonished by the rapid and profound effects of some treatments.

Some years ago a 25-year-old woman consulted me about a strange but very distressing complaint: for the past two years her left eye had been watering all day long. She appeared very upset as she told me about it.
It had begun quite suddenly, like a flood. She had been to several eye specialists but nothing had helped. It was not a life-threatening condition, but it was very distressing for her and she grew increasingly desperate. Her eye was constantly dripping; during the consultation her left cheek became wet with tears. "Where there are tears, there is sorrow", said my common sense, and indeed, when I asked her what had happened in recent years, she spoke of a broken heart.
She had discovered that her partner, with whom she had lived for several years, had for some time been having a secret relationship with another woman. Similar things had happened before. She was very hurt, angry and sad and threw him out immediately. Strangely, however, her eye had already begun to water a few months before she discovered this infidelity. It was as if her body knew what her mind had not yet realised, as if she had picked something up from the morphogenetic field around her.
