My journey to the remedy silk

Ever from a young age I’ve had a strong urge to travel to China. I didn’t know why, but I dreamt peculiar dreams of living there. These dreams were particularly vivid and surprising. They couldn’t even be explained as a by-product of television programming, as my family didn’t own a TV set at this time.

At the age of about 10 I developed an interest in Chinese art. I went to any exhibition that had even the slightest to do with the subject. Using my pocket money, I bought books from antiquarian bookshops about Chinese painting. These books I would then pore over for hours on end. I tried to replicate the art of Chinese painting by copying the pictures.

Around the age of 14 I was gifted a silk cloth. I may not have liked the color very much, but it just felt magnificent. No itching or scratching of the skin, simply soft and warm. This was what gave my dream journey to China a concrete shape – the silk. Painting on silk first became a hobby and later on, for a few years, my job.

My homeopathic meeting with silk occurred after a minor accident, in the course of which I severely rolled my right ankle and partially tore a tendon in there. Acute treatment was undertaken with Arnica montana C10,000 directly on-site, which managed to dampen the pain to a mostly acceptable level and softened the shock.

Homeopathic after-treatment was carried out with Bellis perennis and Ruta graveolens in various potencies. These had usually produced good results in similar circumstances. This time, however, neither the pain, nor the swelling nor the over-articulation of the ankle went away. Even after two weeks I was unable to walk without pain, which went counter to all my experiences with homeopathic treatment.

For this reason, I began to look for a better remedy for myself. My thoughts soon fell on silk. I love silk and it has qualities (see ch. “Qualities”) that have much in common with tissues found in our bodies, such as skin, tendons and ligaments. Since I like to experiment, I produced and ingested the homeopathic remedy Silk in a potency of C10,000 using a radionic instrument.

What happened then was simply incredible! Within a day, pain and swelling had completely gone. Just a week later, both full stability and normal mobility of the joint had been restored.

This accident was over 15 years ago and in all that time I have never had an injury of the same kind, even though this used to be the case about once or twice a year before I started taking Silk.

Apart from the compelling effect the remedy had in this emergency situation, the remedy’s other positive effects for psyche and physical health gradually emerged. In the chapter “My first experiences with silk” I have written down the most important points of my notes. These notes provided the foundation for my further work with this homeopathic remedy.

After this positive experience my interest in silk was significantly stoked, especially as it was not yet available as a remedy. After encouragement from homeopath Renate Siefert, who, along with Frans Vermeulen, has supported my homeopathic development and training in extraordinary ways, I undertook a C4 trituration of untreated silk fibers with other homeopaths and interested lay people.

This personal encounter with Silk yielded much valuable information that proved instrumental for the further development of the remedy silk cocoon and its use in homeopathic practice. (see ch. “Text passages from the trituration protocols”)

Having been fortunate enough to witness several positive treatments in my own practice, I also initiated a self-experience of this remedy. The results of this experience, of which six persons partook, are also mentioned in this book.

I’m glad that my journey to the remedy Silk has reached its first goal in the publication of this book. I hope that this publication will help you to use Silk (Sericum coconum) to great effect in your homeopathic practice.

Sincerely,

Katrin Rabe

A brief history of silk

Discovery

The discovery of silk is shrouded in myth. One of the most well-known legends is the following:

Around 2640 BC, Si-Ling-Chi, the wife of Chinese emperor Huangdi, supposedly strolled through the gardens. A silk cocoon then fell into her tea cup. When she removed it, the cocoon’s thread unraveled, leaving her with shining strings instead of the cocoon in her hands.

This delighted the young empress so much that she collected 1,000 cocoons and used them to weave a cloak for the emperor.

In her honor, the thread was named “Si”, upon which most modern names are based. (English: silk, German: Seide, Swedish: silke, Japanese: seri, Latin: sericum)

For emperors and kings

The manufacture of silk is very laborious, which ensured that this precious material was initially only available to the Chinese emperor and his wives. Only around 1,200 BC this privilege was extended to aristocrats and rich merchants.

Circa 300 BC it was permitted to teach the process of silk-making at the Japanese Imperial Court. Much later, silk found its way over the famous Silk Road to European monarchs. However, because of the long and perilous journey on the Silk Road, silk was prohibitively expensive and many sought ways to produce it in Europe, as well.

Secrets and industrial espionage

The manufacture of silk was a jealously guarded secret. Because of the threat of capital punishment, it took over two and a half millennia until the secret was revealed and the making of silk became known outside of China’s borders.

The first step was teaching the process at the Japanese Imperial Court. The fact that this knowledge reached Europe is thanks to possibly the first ever case of industrial espionage.
