We explore the idea that a patient's deviation from their normal emotional state serves as a crucial factor in remedy selection.

Grant emphasizes the importance of recognizing changes in a patient's baseline emotions and the impact of chronic stress on health. Additionally, we touch upon the misconception that remedies directly alter personality traits, clarifying that homeopathy facilitates a return to one's true nature rather than a fundamental personality change.
