MindBody Temperament Balancing
Recommended for:
Anyone who experiences physical or emotional discomforts and distress:
- Infants
- Children
- Adolescents
- Young adults
- Adults
- Older Adults (Elders)
Be curious about your physical and emotional discomforts. These are messages from your body and mind that carry important information for you. Be careful not to ignore the messages. The idea of “waiting it out” or “pushing through” the aches and pains might actually transform discomforts into more serious ailments. If this has already happened and you are in distress, be kind to yourself. Be curious. And allow yourself to ask for help.
At Options Naturopathic, we support you through a gentle journey of exploring and addressing the roots of your physical and emotional discomforts or distress. We use several natural-remedy approaches, including homeopathy, to guide you through a process of self-discovery and self-healing. Our MindBody Temperament Balancing (MBTB) is one of these homeopathic tools.
With MBTB, we help you transform information about yourself into an evolving personal story of health, wellness, creativity, and joyful living.
Temperament (n.) The characteristic or habitual inclination or mode of emotional response.
PERCEPTION → FEELINGS → THOUGHTS → TEMPERAMENT
Temperament relates to general well-being, or mindset, and ultimately, physical health. As thoughts trigger hormones, various chemical messengers, and other inflammatory responses, one could say the temperament is the ground out of which a figure arises, where the figure is the physical body. The litany of secretions that are generated in response to constant mental activity influences both the generation and the degeneration of the physical body.
TEMPERAMENT → SECRETIONS → FORM
Feelings are a natural part of the human experience. Thoughts are precipitated by our feelings and emotions, even when we are not aware of our feelings.
When one is unwell, having developed a chronic ailment, the origins of any emotional distress were often overridden and forgotten long ago. Angst, fear, anxiety, shock, delusional beliefs or simple worry may have been playing themselves out for generations. Somewhere along the timeline of human history and the deep dive into science and evidence-based therapies, the body got separated from our feelings and thoughts, yet these critically important, but ignored sentiments are still fundamental to health and wellness.
Our use of the term “MindBody” is to remind us that these two constructs-MIND and BODY- are truly one and the same, in the sense that the bi-directional flow of influence is constant and all-pervasive between the two. When we balance our thoughts, we change our physical being. When we nullify our negative thinking, and naturally return to a content state of mind, our entire self can then become well.
This is the ability of the MindBody Temperament Balancing Program.
Why & How Does It Work?
Why “MBTB” Works
Nature-based remedies like MBTB homeopathics are very different from conventional medical and psychological interventions, which typically address the surface manifestations (or symptoms) of conditions, not the origins. In fact, most conventional medical practices do not acknowledge or address the connection between your body and mind, which includes emotions, thoughts, perceptions, self-perceptions, and memories. Unfortunately, this disconnect (or dis-integration) is actually the root of many health challenges and conditions.
Our MBTB homeopathic program will help you reintegrate all parts of yourself (and your natural intelligence) and, thus, enable you to feel more whole, more complete, more content, and more in control of your health, mental health, and wellness.
How “MBTB” Works
THE BASICS
Each complete cycle of the MBTB process includes three four-week rounds of different homeopathic medicines. This program supports gentle yet significant personal change that deserves respect and continuity of care. With MBTB, you collaborate with one of our naturopathic doctors to plan and actively participate in an intervention that combines taking a non-pharmaceutical medicine and reflecting upon daily experiences inspired and stimulated by that medicine. You will engage in the following activities:
Answer specific questions for the Options’ physician to choose your individualized remedies. These may come in the form of a questionnaire if you are not an active patient or if your Options physician is seeking further information outside of a visit.
Orally ingest (dissolve directly in the mouth) homeopathic pellets once per day for five days, if your individual suggestions include onboarding remedies.
Then, orally ingest (dissolve directly in the mouth) homeopathic pellets once per week to complete a 12-week cycle. Sundays are the suggested day to take your weekly MBTB remedy as this is an ideal day for rest, rejuvenation and resetting systems. Sundays also stand apart from the rest of the week and may help us to remember, but if another day works for you this is absolutely fine.
Optional repetition or revision at the end of each cycle with another visit or questionnaire to continue removing any residual unwanted thoughts, behaviors or symptoms. Most individuals notice relief during these first 90-days, but if even the mildest of symptoms remain, we suggest continuing for another round. A commitment to complete the process with a possible adjustment to the selected remedies can potentially resolve long standing issues.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy | The Basics
Homeopathy has its roots in ancient nature-based cultures whose healers identified and utilized plants, minerals, and animal substances as medicines. Healers administered these remedies to stimulate the body and mind of patients to collaborate and allow the bodily systems to do its work. In 1796, a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann conceived homeopathy as we know it today.
Homeopathic medicines are made from natural substances, such as plants, minerals, and animal substances. A homeopathic doctor (or pharmacist) combines the specific starting material with a solution of alcohol and water (if water-soluble), or lactose (if insoluble), to create a dilution. A vigorous process of shaking or pounding, called succussion, extracts the essence of the substance and, essentially, reduces it to its purest potential. This pure potential is transferred onto the pellet form for oral ingestion.
The number and scale of dilutions determine the various strengths, or potencies, of homeopathic medicines. The 6C through 12C potencies are gentle and ideal for home use. A 30C potency is optimal for more severe symptoms or injuries. The 1M, 10M and higher potencies are the most subtle, and thus, in the realm of homeopathy, the most potent.
Homeopathy | The Advantages
Homeopathy is a gentle and natural healing system that encourages the human body and mind to relieve symptoms, restore vitality of its lifeforce, and improve overall health, mental health, and wellness. It is a federally recognized form of medicine regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Nature-based medicine is much safer and gentler than conventional pharmaceutical medications and other manufactured over-the-counter remedies.
Homeopathic medicines are
- Used successfully throughout the globe for over 200 years
- Affordable and do not require expensive health insurance
- Environmentally friendly, cruelty free, and derived from natural sources
- Are specifically unlike pharmaceuticals in that they are non-suppressive and non-toxic
- Safe to use with all people across the lifespan, including infants and small children
- Safe to use with pets
- Non-drowsy, non-habit forming and non-addictive (unlike some conventional medications and cold remedies)
- Presenting no known side effects
- No interactions with pharmaceutical medications
- Clinically effective for acute and chronic conditions
Harmonic Resonance | Energy Vibrations
Each homeopathic medicine carries a different electromagnetic signature (frequency), which matches and influences specific bones, organs, tissue, and systems of the human body. The homeopathic medicine you ingest introduces a natural frequency to the targeted areas, calming it into its natural state. This calming effect releases information (e.g., feelings, thoughts, memories) of adverse experiences that have been held in your tissues. The medicine helps you dissolve the energetic charge of the block (samskara).
Here’s an analogy that might help. Each of us is composed of over a trillion ‘cells’. Each cell is composed of 100 million atoms, and each atom is essentially an oscillator, vibrating at varying frequencies, depending on multiple factors–perhaps the most important of which is our thought. Just as every living substance in nature has a particular frequency, or rhythm of vibration, so do we. The MindBody Temperament Balancing program allows us to find the precise substances in Nature that BALANCE your specific oscillations.
Here is another analogy. Your MindBody is like a guitar string that has an original, natural frequency. Life experiences and your reactions to those experiences hit that string over and over and cling to it and knot it up and shift it to a different vibration, which, perhaps, may feel out-of-tune and not natural. Homeopathic medicine is like a tuning fork which carries the original vibration of your body-mind.
When you ingest the homeopathic pellet, you essentially bring that tuning fork into the room and into the guitar. Eventually, the guitar string begins to match the vibration of the tuning fork and re-activate its original, natural frequency. In other words, the energetic signature of the homeopathic medicine helps your MindBody release the energetic knots from old experiences, giving you the opportunity to observe and interpret them from a safe distance, as well as integrate them into your personal narrative—the true story of your life.
This attunement (or re-attunement) creates a new harmony within you.
Medical investigation was perhaps humanity’s first scientific endeavor. Consider hominids discovering the impact of a particular leaf, and then continuing to chew the leaf to experience its effects. Experience and observation have always led the incessant queries of our species to improve our livelihoods and well-being. Natural philosophy and subsequently, the natural sciences, all contributed incredible knowledge and progress to the field of healthcare. Yet true medicines for bodies derived from the natural environment must include Nature. The MindBody Temperament Balancing Program is the culmination of a millennia of research into medicine, biology and physics, incorporating concepts from each discipline into a unified whole; a whole that must be experienced to be known.
