Classical and combination homeopathy · Tri-Valley, California
MIHI is a homeopathy practice and school in Dublin, California, offering both classical and combination homeopathy. Our UK-trained, CMA-accredited consultants take the time to understand your whole health picture, then recommend remedies chosen through formal repertorisation. We work alongside your doctor, never in place of them.
About the practice
Every case at MIHI begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms: where they are, how they feel, what makes them better or worse, and what comes with them. We then analyse the case with the repertory and recommend either a single classical remedy or a combination of remedies, whichever approach suits your case.
We see adults, children and families from Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Livermore and across the Bay Area, and clients further afield by video. As a research practice and school, our student consultants also observe and assist under the supervision of a qualified consultant, with your consent.
Our approaches
Both approaches start from the same detailed case-taking and repertorisation. They differ in how the prescription is put together. Your consultant explains which they recommend and why, and you can tell us if you have a preference.
A single remedy is chosen to match the whole picture: your main complaint together with your general and emotional symptoms. Its effect is reviewed before anything is changed.
Example of a written prescription: Pulsatilla 30C
Two or more remedies are used together or in a planned sequence, each selected for a distinct part of the case, such as a local complaint and a general tendency. Every remedy in the combination is recorded with its own potency and timing.
Example of a written prescription: Arnica 30C with Rhus tox 30C, alternating, morning and evening
The examples show how prescriptions are written. They are not recommendations for any condition. Please don't self-prescribe based on this website; ask your consultant, and tell your doctor about any remedies you take.

How it works
Complete our online intake form: your complaint, its modalities, your general symptoms and your history.
Your consultant goes through the intake with you in detail, in person or by video.
Your case is repertorised and a single remedy or a combination is recommended, with potencies and written instructions.
We review what has changed and decide whether to continue, adjust or reconsider.

Questions
Modalities are the things that make a symptom better or worse: heat or cold, motion or rest, time of day, weather, eating and so on. Two people with the same complaint often have very different modalities, and in classical homeopathy these differences guide the choice of remedy.
Classical homeopathy uses one remedy at a time, chosen to fit your whole picture. Combination homeopathy uses two or more remedies together or in a planned sequence, each chosen for a distinct part of your case. Both start from the same case-taking. Your consultant will explain which they suggest for you, and you can say if you prefer one.
Yes. The symptom intake form asks whether you prefer classical, combination, or your consultant's recommendation. Your consultant takes your preference into account and explains their reasoning.
A repertory is an index of symptoms, each listing the remedies associated with it. We select the rubrics that best describe your case, compare the remedies that recur across them, and study the strongest candidates in the materia medica before making a recommendation.
Yes. We never advise stopping or changing a prescribed medication. Any change to your medication is a decision for you and your doctor.
Yes. A parent or guardian completes the intake form and attends every consultation for a child under 18.
Only with your permission. As a school of homeopathy, we sometimes have a student observing or assisting under supervision. You can say no at any time without affecting your care.
You receive a secure video link by email. The consultation follows the same structure as an in-person visit, and remedies are posted to you.
