Homeopathic Collective with Taryn Jacobs

The Lac Remedies: Milk, Memory, and the Mother Wound

Long before we have language, we have milk.

Milk is our first experience of nourishment, of being held and of belonging in a body and in the world. When that early imprint is disrupted through absence, rejection, separation or a mother who was unable to fully give what was needed, it can leave something deeply felt but difficult to name.

In this keynote lecture, Dr Taryn Jacobs MTech Hom, Registered Homeopath, will explore the Lac remedies and their relationship with this pre-verbal layer of experience.

Prepared from the milk of different species, the Lac remedies share themes around nourishment, betrayal and belonging, while each has its own distinctive remedy picture. Taryn will introduce the Lac remedies as a family before taking a closer look at a selection of individual remedies and the different ways these themes can present in practice.

The session will particularly explore the idea of the mother wound: the experience of feeling outside, unwanted or disconnected from a fundamental sense of belonging. For practitioners working with women and the maternal line, the Lac remedies can offer an important area of materia medica to explore when these patterns emerge.
