‘Just in the matter of three brief days, if you see your understanding of homeopathic remedies deepening to an astonishing degree and depth, you must have attended a seminar by Dr. Dinesh Chauhan.’ I came home with this feeling after attending a seminar taught by Dr. Dinesh Chauhan, in Ardsley, New York (October 11-13, 2019).
In this seminar, Dr. Chauhan taught us about how to look at the remedies in a coherent, deep and meaningful way and acquaint ourselves with the very core, soul and the true color of the remedies without getting lost in the jungle of seemingly unconnected details. He practices what he teaches —- this was evidenced by a few cases that he shared with us. His unique human-centric case taking approach gives the patients plenty of wriggle room. Without being pushed, probed, interrogated and nudged, they reveal their life narrative. A case intake conducted in an atmosphere that exudes kindness, patience, calm and relaxed energy, contains all the hints needed that help in the selection of a simillimum. The student body at this seminar was a witness to such an event in cases after cases.
Such a wholesome outcome as described above is based on the scientific plus intuitive part of case taking as practiced and taught by Dr. Chauhan. He showed us how to listen patiently while collecting scattered symptoms, PQRS at a holistic level, mental and physical generals, reactions, miasms, pathology, as well as the themes of kingdom and subkingdom simply because, he explained, the patient can come to us at any level and share his narrative in any one or a few or all of these areas. Using his integrative approach, Dr. Dinesh showed us how to find the master key that helps bring all these angles, themes and bits of data together and solve the case.
Dr. Dinesh has spent the past two years fine-tuning this approach that he shared with us during the seminar and this approach is basically, an immensely detailed examination of the remedies from every possible angle and synthesizing it’s core message, so that no matter at what level the patient is situated and what he tells us, we are able to locate the master key of the indicated remedy. In this way, he taught us to identify remedies from Magnolidae. Even though the information given to us was enormous, we returned home feeling confident that we are learning a very useful technique of understanding the remedies in a holistic way and that we would be getting better at spotting these remedies in our own practice. Such in-depth teaching is a rare treat.
Thank you, Dr. Dinesh.

Always love seeing Dinesh. Seeing how Dinesh worked through the plants was eye-opening and most helpful.
Marina & Sonam do a phenomenal job throughout the seminar too!

Please come back, Dinesh! 'Nuf said.
If it hadn't been for this seminar, I would never have been able to prescribe LAURUS NOBILIS to a new client. Dinesh is the best.
Cheers, Barbara
He gives us new insights how to place remedies in the world of sensation and backs it up with detailed and intense Materia Medica work. His descriptions of families and higher orders are not superficial but very founded in his
Materia Medica studies. The Violales, for example, I start to see differently now, not that need to be busy with business and therefore not wanting to get distracted is the core, the core problem is this "wants to go back home", this makes so much sense now in comparison with the other remedies from that group. On top, his work on the source science and the way he represents it, e.g all plants of the group have 1 root and this is spreading for miles over the soil brings a string connection in my brain that the core is "leaving roots".
And he did that with the Magnoliales for me too. So long I never saw in Nux moschata that the origin of the dullness, confusion, foggy brain is that first something very exciting, mind blowing was happening which the patient did not understand.
I love his work although he goes back more to Materia Medica work what the old masters did and does not progress in case taking like going to the source or into the experience as Susan or Divya are doing this. But I don't expect that because his focus is on hard detailed rubrics work.
I am always learning so much from him, it is fascinating for me.
