This past Sunday, I attended a webinar hosted by Canadians for Homeopathy. The webinar featured Camilla Sherr on the topic of agrihomeopathy. I’m still thinking about it days later.
Camilla spoke from Finland, where she was visiting family, but the heart of her work lives in Tanzania. That’s the place where she and her husband Jeremy Sherr run Homeopathy for Health in Africa. It is also where her journey into plant and soil healing began — quite literally from the ground up.
The presentation covered a lot: theory, method, case studies, and remedy suggestions. What stayed with me most was the attitude behind it. It was a way of seeing the natural world as intelligent. The world is seen as responsive and energetically alive.
This isn’t “alternative gardening.” This is careful, intentional, grounded work. It’s homeopathy for living systems — whether they root, crawl, sprout, or fruit.
What Agri-Homeopathy Looks Like
Camilla described several different approaches:
- Antipathic remedies made from predators (e.g., Falco-peregrinus to deter pigeons).
- Isopathic remedies made from the problem itself (e.g., slugs → Helix tosta).
- Homeopathic remedies chosen based on symptoms and similarities.
- Constitutional support for the whole plant or ecosystem — not just symptoms.
- Weather trauma remedies — Aconite for frost, Sol australiensis for sunburn.
- Soil and nutrient remedies — Silicea, Boron, Phosphorus, and others used homeopathically rather than chemically.
The emphasis wasn’t on “fixing” plants. It was about understanding them — listening, observing, and responding with a clear sense of intention. Sound familiar?
It should. That’s homeopathy.
A Resonance with My Own Work
If you’ve been reading my posts here, you might remember my prayer plant and her slow recovery with Silicea 30CH. It wasn’t a flashy before-and-after story. It was quiet. I watched and waited. She shifted.
That quiet attentiveness is exactly what Camilla brings to agri-homeopathy. She doesn’t just throw remedies at symptoms. She asks: What’s happening here? What is the soil saying? What’s out of balance?
This is why her work matters so much. It honors the vitality of all living things. It does so with the same care we would give to a human client.
One of My Favorite Moments
Camilla told a story about using Arnica to treat French farmland that had been bombed during World War I. Nothing had grown well there for decades. But Arnica, the remedy we all know for trauma, shock, bruising, and blunt force — it helped the land.
That moment stopped me.
Because if soil can remember trauma, then we need to remember how to help it heal. If land responds to care, it also responds to neglect, extraction, and violence. What a responsibility — and what an invitation.
We Don’t Have to Be Experts
Camilla was clear: you don’t have to be a farmer or botanist to begin. Whether you’ve got tomatoes on a balcony or fruit trees in your yard, you can start anywhere. Even with one plant. Even with one observation.
You might see a leaf that won’t uncurl. Or blossoms that don’t set fruit. Or soil that stays soggy. These aren’t failures. They’re conversations waiting to happen.
Final Thoughts
This webinar reminded me that homeopathy isn’t confined to the human body. It’s a language of life. It speaks to form, function, energy, environment — and response.
Thank you to Canadians for Homeopathy for hosting such a thoughtful and generous session. And thank you, Camilla, for your clarity, care, and deep commitment to this work.
As always, I’ll keep sharing these reflections here at Empowered by Homeopathy. It’s not just the dramatic recoveries that deserve our attention. It’s the quiet ones too.
Especially the quiet ones.
