As classical milk remedies, Lac caninum and Lac felinum have held an established place in homoeopathy since the 19th century. Their remedy pictures can be regarded as exemplary for domesticated mammals. Recently, homoeopathic interest has turned to their relatives in the wild. The milk remedies of most predatory cats—from lynx, cheetah or ocelot to tiger, lion or jaguar—have already been potentised. And among wild canids we have fox, jackal and wolf milk remedies.
This issue focuses on the distinctive homoeopathic features of these new remedy groups from carnivorous mammals and on differentiating the individual remedies within the families Canidae and Felidae. It will be particularly exciting to use provings and case studies to delineate the wild predators from their domesticated counterparts. With this issue, SPEKTRUM adds a chapter to modern materia medica that has not previously been presented coherently.
