Episode 41: Homeopathic Influence with Lakshmi Subramaniam

Episode Description:

In this episode of Homeopathy 247, Mary welcomes Lakshmi Subramaniam to discuss how homeopathy can be introduced to children from a young age. Lakshmi shares her personal experiences growing up in a homeopathic family in India and how she has raised her own children with homeopathy as a natural part of daily life.

Growing Up with Homeopathy

Lakshmi explains that she grew up in Mumbai, helping her mother, a homeopath, from as young as eight years old. Through this early exposure, she learned about remedies and how to observe and respond to symptoms. Homeopathy was the first choice for any illness in her family, helping her stay healthy without needing conventional medications.

Raising Homeopathic Kids

When Lakshmi had her own children in Australia, she naturally passed on the same approach. From a very young age, her kids learned to recognize their symptoms, select appropriate remedies, and even prepare them. Her children now carry their own first-aid kits and instinctively know when to take remedies like Pulsatilla or Hepar Sulph.

Homeopathy During the Pandemic

Lakshmi noticed the true strength of this early education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her children were proactive about their health, spotting early signs of illness and managing minor symptoms themselves. This self-awareness and resilience helped them avoid extended periods of illness or needing strong medications.

Homeopathy for Long-Term Health

Lakshmi emphasized that using homeopathy from childhood builds a strong foundation for long-term health. She herself rarely needed antibiotics or painkillers and experienced natural, medication-free childbirth. Her children also recognize how foods and lifestyle choices affect their health, deepening their body awareness.

Homeopathy and Responsibility for Health

Beyond treating acute illnesses, Lakshmi talks about how homeopathy encourages responsibility for overall wellbeing. She teaches clients not only about remedies but also about reading food labels, making healthy lifestyle choices, and addressing underlying blocks (known as “maintaining causes”) to healing.

Lakshmi’s experiences beautifully illustrate how starting early with homeopathy can empower families. Homeopathy becomes not just a tool for treating sickness, but a way of life that fosters self-knowledge, independence, and true holistic health.
