WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

Classical Homeopathy is a therapy based on the “Law of Similars,” which is the concept that disease can be treated with a precisely chosen medicine –in minute doses– thought capable of producing the same symptoms in healthy people as the disease itself. The drugs used in homeopathy are made from animals, plants, and minerals, rather than chemicals.

Classical Homeopathy is a gentle and safe treatment method that many healthcare professions consider the best medicine available. Homeopathy reveals a patient’s “state” or his or her energetic foundation.

An imbalanced state shows up again and again in one’s life on levels large and small. It is this core misalignment which can cause mental or emotional imbalances, and eventually lead to physical illness. When one’s state is re-aligned, it can be a radical shift into powerful health and strength, rather than relying on a synthetic pill which merely suppresses the symptoms of a potentially deeper problem.

In homeopathy, symptoms are the body’s way of fighting disease. Homeopathy teaches that symptoms are to be encouraged, by prescribing a “remedy” in minuscule doses that in large doses would produce the same symptoms seen in the patient. These remedies are meant to stimulate the immune system helping to cure the illness, according to homeopathy.

Finding a patient’s particular remedy can help avoid developing chronic health issues, and yet the benefits are often immediately apparent. An exact match will likely keep a patient healthy for many years.

For example:

If a patient shows symptoms of blisters on their hands or feet, the remedy may include Cantharis. Many women use calendula ointment before or after childbirth when preparing to breast feed their newborns.
