The healing power of homeopathy has been proven time to time again, and today it is one of the most popular and effective forms of natural healthcare. Developed over 200 years ago by the German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, it works by treating the individual as a whole rather than looking at symptoms of illness in isolation.
Homeopathy remains one of the most mysterious of the alternative therapies. Remedies are diluted to the point where not even a molecule of the original substance remains.
Healing for the 21st century.
The remedies used in homeopathy are minute doses of natural substances, which have been taken from plants, animals, or minerals. Homeopathic remedies allow the body to heal itself, without any of the harmful effects that can come from the use of conventional drugs. It also has long term benefits in that you raise your level of health generally, thus making you less susceptible to diseases in the the future.
LAW OF SIMILARS
This is the basic tenet of homeopathy. It states that a medicine that can produce symptoms in a healthy person will cure the same symptoms in a sick person. The healing remedy will be the one that is known to produce the same picture as the one we want to treat.
VITAL FORCE
This is life energy, or vitality of each individual. Hahneman called it the ''dynamist that animates the material body''. Chi or Prana.
The vital force governs biological activity, maintaining balance and harmony. When it is disturbed or weak, we become ill with symptoms of disease, and homeopathic remedies can help to bring us back in to balance.
SYMPTOMS AND INDIVIDUALITY
There are emotional, mental, physical, general and particular symptoms. When taken together it will form ''symptom picture'', and I will find one remedy for my client that will cover the whole picture. Hahneman said, ''Examine each individual case of disease.'' By asking questions and observing, I will determine the presenting symptoms for each individual in each ailment.
CONSTITUTION
The chronic diseases originate from a person's constitution, which is the person's individual physical, emotional and intellectual makeup. The constitution is determined by both the genes a person inherits and environmental influences.
When I prescribe constitutionally, I look deeper into the person's history. This treatment will help to correct imbalances and make immune system stronger.
