Welcome to what is most probably a brand new experience for you. Homeopathy is unlike anything you have tried before. Often people assume that homeopathy is like naturopathy, herbal medicine, vitamin therapy or some other alternative healthcare system. Homeopathy is different than all these modalities. Homeopathy is a therapeutic method that works by using a small dose of a substance to help stimulate the body's healing forces. Homeopathy is based on the principle of "the Law of Similars" or "like cures like" that was mentioned by Hippocrates two thousand years ago. Samuel Hahnemann, M.D. (1755-1843) of Germany founded this therapeutic method based on this law. Dr. Hahnemann proved that a substance that could cause symptoms in a healthy person can heal anyone experiencing the same symptoms with the same substance in micro doses prepared homeopathically. Homeopathy recognizes the intimate connection between the mind and body. The homeopathic therapy always takes into account the person's physical, emotional, and mental aspects instead of isolated symptoms of the body. It then aims to strengthen the individual so that their own vital force, the healing power of nature, is stimulated properly to bring about balance and health. Our vital force is always at work to keep our bodies in balance. According to homeopathy, symptoms are a reflection of a disturbed vital force. Homeopathic remedies are used to heal the vital force and therefore, enhance the power of the body to heal itself. Homeopathy is a psychological approach to treating dis-ease. A primary assumption is that a mental or emotional imbalance could create or exacerbate an unhealthy physical condition and therefore, when these aspects are treated, physical health can return. Homeopathy is effective in treating emotional or physical traumas as well as a range of past and present emotional issues. It can also be used preventatively by strengthening a person's overall vitality. This can allow a person to live life to the highest mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical levels possible. Homeopathy is a safe and effective system of Western medicine, used by an estimated 500 million people worldwide. The World Health Organization cites homeopathy as the second most widely used form of therapy in the world and as one of the systems of healthcare that should be integrated worldwide with conventional medicine in order to provide adequate care. Homeopathic remedies are used safely for people in all stages of life including infants, children, pregnant women and the elderly and produce no side-effects or interactions with pharmaceutical or herbal medications. Two hundred years of clinical experience have demonstrated the effectiveness of these remedies. Homeopathic remedies are made in accordance with the processes described in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States recognized by the FDA. The remedies are prepared from substances such as plants, minerals, or other materials which are repeatedly diluted and shaken vigorously which results in leaving only the energetic imprint of the substance. Because of the highly individualized approach to each person and his/her condition, a partnership between the homeopathic consultant and the client is essential. I am committed to doing my share to creating this partnership with every client I work with. References: |
