Soul, Science and Fish Remedies: Dr Jonathan Hardy on the Art of Homeopathy
Episode Overview
- Effective case-taking means tolerating not knowing, writing everything down and watching for repeated, strange or deeply charged expressions.
- Jonathan suggests that all chronic disease has roots in the subconscious, so treatment aims at the inner state rather than just outer circumstances.
- Warmth, friendliness and a little laughter in consultations help patients share their most important, often embarrassing or painful experiences.
- Themes in remedy groups, such as buoyancy and moving forward in fish remedies or freedom versus responsibility in bird remedies, can guide prescriptions.
- A simple clinical audit can reveal that a homeopath’s results are usually better than they feel, countering self-doubt and harsh self-criticism.
“"All chronic disease, physical or psychological, has roots deep in the subconsciousness."”
What insights can experts share about healing, consciousness and homeopathy’s more mysterious side? This conversation on UK Health Radio’s Homeopathy Health Show brings together hosts Atiq Ahmad Bhatti and Naila Cheema with returning guest Dr Jonathan Hardy for a rich, wide-ranging chat that blends clinical practice with spirituality and a dash of humour.
Aimed at practising homeopaths, students and anyone curious about deeper approaches to health, the episode looks at how homeopaths try to understand “the story behind the story” – the patient’s inner state beneath physical symptoms.
Jonathan talks about sitting with “not knowing”, acting as an “unprejudiced observer” and watching for repeated phrases, strange expressions and gestures that hint at subconscious patterns: “All chronic disease, physical or psychological, has roots deep in the subconsciousness.” You’ll hear practical tips on case-taking, from letting patients talk freely (without making it “brutal”) to using warmth and humour so people feel safe enough to share their most disturbing or embarrassing experiences.
There’s also an honest look at the emotional rollercoaster of practice: the “agony and ecstasy” of great results, tough failures and why a simple clinical audit can show you’re doing far better than you think. The second half turns to Jonathan’s work on fish and bird remedies, how intuition led him into this area, and why themes like buoyancy, moving forward, freedom and responsibility show up so clearly in patients’ language.
Along the way, the trio touch on spiritual growth, soul consciousness and the idea that remedies clear “alien” archetypal patterns so human qualities like compassion can re-emerge. If you’re drawn to homeopathy as a lifelong journey of learning, intuition and spiritual enquiry, this episode might leave you asking: which archetypal “song” is playing in your own life – and what would help bring you back to yourself?
