Using Mappa Mundi in Homeopathy

From the Book

EMOTIONS
The pattern of the emotions on the Circle follows in much the same way. There is passivity on the right hand side with activity on left. There is expansion in the top half and contraction and introversion in the bottom half.

The Phlegmatic region is therefore an area where emotions are received and rarely returned or expressed.

It is a place where emotions can stagnate and it is the state that is often found in people who are ready to move on but find themselves stuck in an emotional state that is not entirely suitable.

Details

This volume of Fraser’s Using Maps and Systems in Homeopathy series examines the use of Mappa Mundi in understanding a case and prescribing the best remedy.

The ancient elements-and-humours understanding of health (Hippocrates) can be illustrated on a circle called Mappa Mundi. Each combination of elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Air) is associated with certain humours (Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Melancholic).

Knowing where a patient’s life is unbalanced in one direction, or where polar opposites conflict, broadens our understanding of the core of a case and helps to narrow our remedy choices.

Fraser integrates the ancient system with modern medical knowledge and explains its use in a clear and practical way.

The Using Maps and Systems in Homeopathy also includes Using Realms in Homeopathy, Using Philosophy in Homeopathy and Using Correspondences in Homeopathy.

Peter Fraser

Peter Fraser was a bookseller and publisher before discovering Homeopathy. His work on many provings of new remedies led to an interest in contemporary disease which resulted in his book The AIDS Miasm.

Having taught in many parts of the world he realized there was a need for basic instructions to many of the concepts used in homeopathy, which this series aims to fill. He is the Director of the Institute of Homeopathy and practices in Bristol and London.
