Our origins

In 1987 the first simplexes in our private practice began changing lives; by 1991 our first complex was developed & over the following decade, the range grew to address almost every requested health care need, based upon clinical demand. From start to finish, the ingredients are sourced from the best companies; no compromise is made for any aspect of the process. Simply put, if it hasn't been Clinically Proven by use in real live practice, and if we have not experienced success ourselves - with excellent results, it will not be offered for recommendation. Our work is never based upon theory alone or a suggestion that a remedy may assist with any given ailment. And only the most widely successful will continue to be used. You may find that our remedies are quite different from others you have bought; this has come about from trial and error; accurate evidence-based health care.

With the health climate in such a state of disarray, every single one of us needs to be very diligent. It is no longer acceptable or suitable to just live each day in the hope that you wont get sick. Waiting rooms are over-filled; emergency departments cannot cope with the queues; Practitioners are hard-pressed to take a few minutes to ask questions & write out a script - without time for the actual physical person - just the name of the diagnosis. Years of study & dedication & the only people who benefit are the pharmaceutical companies.

Every one of the Chrysalis Originals remedies has been used for basic health issues at home & clinically, they have also been used for very serious health issues (with supervision), so you can rest assured that they work. Best of all, they are simple to use.

After humble rural beginnings, while gleaning expertise from some of the world’s leading Physicians and Teachers, our remedies evolved & soon became sought after by those who choose to take charge of their health rather than become part of the accepted health care crisis.

One by one, patients presented with symptoms & it was soon evident that offering a large number of simplexes was too confusing; quite often hopeful customers would simply give up. One by one, the complexes were formed. For example, during hayfever season (spring time) dozens of people who were unwell, but not unwell enough to need a full consultation presented at the clinic asking for help. Rather than offer a remedy they may only need for a time, a complex was formulated to cover all aspects of hayfever, mild allergies and sensitivities. In turn, it could be used for a wide range of symptoms once the hayfever symptoms were gone.

So too, with varied digestive ailments. Rather than offer a usual kit of simplexes which the individual would need to understand, a broad-spectrum remedy which dealt with all manner of imbalance became our number one remedy. Then came the complex for all aspects of aches, pains & injuries. Then influenza, followed by emotional shock, panic & fear. For general stress management a complex was created which allowed everyone to benefit from a wide range of soothing ingredients including St John’s Wort (Hypericum) which is not advised in herbal form for those on other medications. Homœopathically, it is perfectly acceptable to use. Next came the multi purpose complex for infections & fever, then the dental health remedy.

For a few years, this basic kit of 8 remedies was embraced by people all over WA, but over time it began to grow & by 1997, there were 25 different complexes - depending on what was demanded by patients & what was most popular. The inclusion of Bach remedies, Bush flower remedies, Cell salts (tissue/Schuessler salts) & new discoveries involving the homœopathisation of both popular & rare herbal remedies by Chrysalis Original, the botikin is unique. By the rebranding & re-release of the range in 2020, there were 44 different complexes and the range continues to grow. Our world may be changing, but the efficacy of homœopathy does not.

You can be assured that every complex has above accepted average results (our own clinical records often reflect perfect success rates). Many offers from outside interest (including international) have been made to purchase our brand & many companies have attempted to emulate the remedies. As the developer & manufacturer, our head homeopath needs to oversee every aspect of each remedy - from start to finish & refuses to share our secrets or support other companies in releasing substandard copies. Likewise, since our beginning, there are now many ‘chrysalis homœopathy’ & ‘chrysalis herbal’ or even ‘chrysalis natural health’ - but there is only one Chrysalis Original.

For your own interest, please read our case study page to get a better understanding of the vast applications possible in using your chosen remedies. With both human & animal case studies, it provides a wealth of info. Natural Therapies provide assistance to care for general health needs - this range provides assistance at home to care for families - safely, affordably & honestly.

Homœopathic remedies can usually be found in liquid form (tinctures) or as pilules (small lactose-based pills). Some homœopathy supporters believe the pilules are more convenient & travel better.

Until recently, we have avoided use of pilules due to the lactose content - as a base for a remedy, it is ambiguous. Today, a disproportionate percentage of the human population is not only sensitive or allergic to lactose, it is not suitable for vegans or animals & it poses the question of unnecessary reaction rather than healing; at the very least it could affect the outcome or hinder progress.

While the body is forced to deal with a lactose response, it will in turn struggle to respond to the remedy vibration. Our homœopath has argued this case for years, especially amongst other manufacturing companies & it was part of the main impetus for the development of the Chrysalis Original range - especially the remedies containing tissue salts as these traditionally come in pilule form & so many have reported cell salt pilules are ineffective for them. As a result, all Chrysalis Original remedies until recently were liquid based.

Thankfully, sucrose and calcium carbonate-based pilules are now available and these will be added to our repertoire over time.

If transport is a concern, please consider purchasing a carrier vessel such as is used for essential oils (do not store near essential oils as they can affect the sensitive remedy negatively) or even handmake a carrier by sewing two thicknesses of fabric together similar to a makeup brush holder; insert the remedies individually & roll up to place in a carry bag. Remember to never expose remedies to heat & always store in a cool, dark place. If travelling or for carrying in a vehicle, please consider using an insulated carrier.

The science of homeopathy began its long genesis in Germany in the late 1700s; through the observations & research of doctor, pharmacist, botanist, herbalist, alchemist, pathologist & medical textbook translator, Samuel Hahnemann.

He noted many observations; chiefly that the poor were offered substandard health care & what was to become the basis of his science, the ability of direct effects of substances to create disease, while the removal of the substances could appear to cure the disease.

He theorised that by diluting and energising the substances he could therefore remove pre-existing symptoms (dis-ease) from living beings whether human or animal, without the dangers posed by the original morbid substance. At the time, medical methods were questionable and posed grave effects upon the patient - he argued against the use of various poisons, against leeching, and his discoveries below are still in use today even though others have received the kudos.

His personal life & professional career were both fraught with struggle; he was a sickly child & became his own trial subject in order to both prove the efficacy as well as improve his own health. Professionally, he was hounded & vilified as both the established patriarchal medical & pharmaceutical profession were increasingly threatened by his discoveries.

Doctors & other health professionals travelled to learn his findings & eventually homeopathy was taught all over the world. He did not live to see this success, having died in relative poverty & obscurity. In fact, at the time of his death, homeopathy had been taken across to the US, UK & India where it could be freely practised without threat.

Today the use of homeopathy in India is so successful that people travel for healing; it is practiced in most hospitals and cure rates are the higest in the world.

By the late 1800s, homeopathic colleges & hospitals existed across the globe (including around Australia), with homeopathy set to become the foundation of ‘modern’ medicine with all other modalities branching out. Only with the advent of a political initiative waged by well heeled, well funded writers and pharmaceutical supporters such as Fleming & Pasteur, an offensive against homeopathy began with the aim of hegemony & the goal of absolute abolition which continues to this day.

Hippocratic-based schools which trained medical doctors in homeopathy were closed, doctors practising homeopathy were lured away with lucrative offers in larger hospitals & once the elder homeopaths died, the hospitals were closed. Today, it is rarely practiced as a mainstream modality in the west, despite its safety record & its almost impeccable record in times of pandemic & major catastrophic events.

Part of this assault has included the deliberate erosion of the modality as a stand alone science and over the last 20 years it is mostly included as part of a naturopathy course. This does neither the naturopath or homeopathy itself, any fIavours as homeopathy is as different to naturopathy as chiropractic is to physiotherapy, or as general practice is to dentistry.

The current trend to remove or destroy all historical homeopathic literature has robbed the world of a safe, effective treatment modality that can either be used as a stand-alone option or alongside other forms of treatment as it does not elicit contraindicative responses. While veterinary medicine was at one time the most common form of homeopathic practice in the western world, there has been a concerted effort to eradicate & blackban those involved.

By 2022, almost all homeopathic research had been removed from the internet & it is a challenge to find original textbooks other than from determined printers in India. Within self-governed medical bodies with government support, much homeopathic terminology & advice has become illegal.

Interestingly, in recent years our governing bodies have quietly embraced homeopathy as a ‘vital’ part of our medical system yet this is still not widely or publicly known. It is time to change things.

Just a few of Samuel Hahnemann’s achievements include:

• How to test for arsenic poisoning - saving millions of people and helping coroners determine cause of death. That might not mean much today, but in Victorian times, even your wallpaper could kill you. Arsenic was found in almost every home and more people than not, died from its use - cause of death put down to any other reason. Thank Samuel Hahnemann that you are not still being poisoned by arsenic. Today, there are Marsh and Metzger tests, but no Hahnemann test…

• Discovered antiseptic - 100 years before it was widely used to prevent & treat infection. Aside from the extensive repercussions around the world still in effect today, he changed the course of medicine. Thank Hahnemann, not necessarily Lister, Fleming or Pasteur that you now have antiseptics and disinfectants (and sanitisers).

• Discovered the true reason why wine will become wine and not vinegar. Until then, most attempts ended up as vinegar. If you like wine, thank Hahnemann, not all the so-called scientists making it (arguably) drinkable.

• Created soluble mercury AND wrote extensively of the toxicity and poisoning of the same - 200 years before medicine woke up and removed it from pharmakeia. Thank Hahnemann for thermometers, and for the fact that finally someone rubbed a few spare brain cells together to STOP putting it into baby creams and medications - even if it took them 200 years.

• Discovered the cure for malaria. It is still in use today - where once it was used merely as a tanning chemical. And you can thank Hahnemann that today, quinine is still a cure for many things (including parasites and other diseases).

• Discovered the cause of gallstones. Salts. And then he created salts-based remedies to cure all manner of ailments. You can thank Hahnemann that those pesky rock hard stones wharh e formed through bad diet and poor liver function can be dissolved with the . right advice. He discovered that over 200 years ago.

His discoveries, throughout times of the worst of contagions, have had an exponentially higher cure rate than the 'best' of medicine. But pharma has ridiculed him - doctors say it is placebo and doesn't work - or is dangerous. Worse still, laws have been wrangled & manipulated to ensure that it is now illegal to even claim a cure.

There are records but you wont see them unless you know where to look. Not only did he fight the corruption of medicine in his day, his ideas were stolen and he was never given credit for his work.

Today, too many people still have never heard of homeopathy despite just a hundred years ago, everyone used it as part of home medicine kits, hospital care and veterinary medicine.

It is time for change.
