Notes and Academic Papers |
I want to share with you my experiences using homeopathy instead of pesticides for my garden. I have used it with the potato beetle (Doryphora decemlineata) and with a yellow worm that makes tunnels in the potatoes and totally damages them. The first year I planted potatoes (4 years ago) my
harvest was completelly ruined due to these two pests. So I decided to try homeopathy as I did not want to introduce any pesticides in my new garden. At that moment I was just starting to study, I am afraid my remedies were made in a completelly unprofessional and wrong way, but... they worked miraculously!! I picked up some specimens, made 3x trituration as Hahnemann instructs (with powder sugar! for lack of anything more apropriate) and then I made 10K. I sprayed the potatoes with the worm remedy when I planted them and sprayed the plants with the beetle remedy. I have done this during the next three years and I haven't seen a potato beetle in my garden and my potatoes have no tunnels. The potatoes of my neighbours, on the other side of the fence are completelly full of beetles but not one comes to my plants. After three years watching this, the locals have asked me to spray their potatoes too, with my "water". They are getting very curious about homeopathy. (189)
