Homeopathic Dove

Is anyone familiar with the remedy 'Dove?' My homeopath just prescribed this for my son and I can't find any information for this single remedy.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Yes I have prescribed this remedy. It has two separate provings - the latest one by Jonothon Shore.

VE: SUFFERING ABUSE
This is very different from the other birds
Great sensitivity on an interpersonal level.
The world as a harsh place, violence and injury.
This is the animal analogue to Staphysagria. People are cruel.
Guilt in the sense of self. Usually the person who feels really bad about himself when he's been abused in some way. It's been indicated that who you are is a pile of sh*t.
Judged, criticized
Shame
Grief
Too gentle for the world, so appear retarded or delayed. But they aren't really. This is not Baryta. They've withdrawn from the harshness of life.
Religion This is a little more religion. The birds that fly high are more spirit. The dove comes often in the Bible, and the olive branch of peach
Sex and Sexual abuse:
Urinary problems
Staphysagria, Carcinosin, Baryata - these are the similar remedies. The overlap with Carc. Is the sensitivity to reprimand. Also since Carc. is an animal product, it has certain animal qualities: abuse, sensitive (to the stage of the world).
Lac-c. is also used like this by Linda Johnston. To JS, dogs are very different. They bite and are more aggressive. JS feels at first they feel so bad, they try really hard. Their compensation is in a perfectionistic way. But there's aggression in it: I'm going to do it.
In the doves, there's not the anxiety about health or thought that they have a disease. Rather, there's more shame and guilt. Also JS hasn't seen the perfectionism at all. The compensation is a withdrawal into my own world.
The big thing with dogs is they really want to please you. They try so hard - harder than horses even. All you have to say is 'Bad' and they quake and think to themselves, 'I did it!', even though they may only be able to think up something from ten years ago. That's why they're man's best friend: no matter what you do, they keep trying.
It's the dove of peace. If you put them in a little space, they peck at each other. But that's the human problem. In a tree, they don't peck at each other.


Schulz's proving has many more physicals but it has not been organized in my version of Reference works so I cannot give you a list of symptoms.

Hi, I'm just wondering how the dove remedy is working for your child? What was your son like before and after the remedy? I'm just curious as this could be a possibility for my child. Thanks

The important thing when choosing one remedy over another is to make sure it suits the patient on all levels. For Dove to be the choice over say Carc, Staph, Bar-c etc, one would need to be sure they need an Animal remedy, then be sure they need a Bird remedy. This can be done via the group themes that have been established from provings and clinical experience.
