A system of natural medical philosophy and practice based on the fact that the body has the ability to heal itself. Homeopathy was founded in the 1800s in Germany and has been widely practiced throughout Europe.
Homeopathy uses micro doses of plant, animal or mineral substances to relieve acute and chronic diseases based upon the principle “like cures like”. That is, if a substance can cause symptoms in a healthy person, giving the person a very small amount of the same substance may cure the illness.
Scientific researchers have established a large base of past and present research studying the unique aspects of Homeopathic medicine which show a significant benefit in a wide variety of conditions.
Homeopathic medicines - known as remedies - are made from substances designed to help stimulate the body's healing ability.
Remedies are prepared - or "potentised" - using a process of repeated dilution and succussion (vigorous shaking).
Homeopathic medicines are made from small amounts of natural substances such as plants and minerals. Prepared in licensed laboratories, under strict control, they are available as liquids, pellets, tablets, or creams.
Due to their preparation remedies are suitable for adults, infants, children, pregnant or breastfeeding women. Homeopathic remedies are very safe and taken appropriately do not have side effects. They do not interfere with medications prescribed by your medical doctor or other supplements you choose to take. Homeopathic remedies are non-toxic and recognized by the FDA.
The term homeopathy is not a general or “umbrella” term to describe a variety of different therapies, it is its own unique therapeutic system. Homeopathic remedies are derived from natural substances however, they act very differently than herbal medicines or essential oils.
Homeopathy can be used for a wide range of health issues. Some homeopathic treatments are used to treat minor ailments, family first aid, as well as a wide range of long-term chronic illnesses.
There are two main categories of treatment in Homeopathic Medicine; i.e., acute and chronic.
Acute treatment – This is for illness of recent onset; it may be self-limited (for example, the common cold), or it may progress if not treated (for example, pneumonia). In such an illness the body might overcome the illness, a cold for example, sooner or later, but the appropriate medicine gently stimulates the body to recover more quickly and efficiently.
Chronic or constitutional treatment - This is the other main category of treatment. A chronic disease is long standing or a recurrent health problem. The length of treatment and the challenge to achieve positive results is affected by many factors, including the nature of the problem, the early health history, the family medical history, the previous treatment, and the person’s inherent constitutional strength. The goal is to help the person to return to a state of well-being through individualized homeopathic treatment.
