Homeopathy
What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is an effective and safe form of holistic medicine which stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal, known as the “vital force”. Homeopathy focuses on helping the body heal from the inside out by addressing the root cause of an illness. We are all born with an internal force and an innate ability to heal. This internal force is manifested in our bodies on a daily basis and can be seen in cases such as when we have a cut. The body naturally mounts a response to the break in the skin and initiates a healing response. Homeopathic medicine works with these innate mechanisms to restore health by speeding up the natural process of healing. There are many advantages to the use of homeopathic medicine. It is believed to be one of the safest and most effective therapies available. Most people are great candidates for this form of medicine, including children and pregnant women. There are no side effects from homeopathic remedies, so it is the ideal choice for anyone who is looking for alternatives to medications with unwanted adverse side effects. Homeopathic medicine works in conjunction with other therapies, including pharmaceutical treatment. .
What is a treatment like?
Homeopathic remedies are made from naturally occurring substances that come form the earth such as plants and minerals. During the preparation process of a homeopathic remedy, the original substance is made into a solution which is then diluted multiple times. There are hundreds of well-known homeopathic remedies which have been researched and used for more than two centuries. In order to find the correct homeopathic remedy for you, a two hour intake will be completed by asking you specific questions about your current condition, including all aspects of your being (mental and emotional symptoms). A remedy will then be selected based on the totality of your symptoms and individual needs. The length of treatment will depend on the complexity of your case. .
What can it treat?
Homeopathy can treat a wide variety of conditions, from acute illnesses such as headaches to chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia. For acute concerns, such as a cold, most patients feel immediate relief (minutes to hours) after taking a homeopathic remedy. For more long-term conditions, the majority of patients usually notice improvement within two weeks. Some patients may aggravate for a few days after initiating treatment. This is the body’s way of allowing the symptoms to come to the surface before they are finally cleared from the body. In cases of long-term illness, suppression of symptoms has often occurred, whether it is suppression through the use of pharmaceutical drugs or by choosing to ignore our emotions. If this is the case, a return of old symptoms can momentarily be seen as part of the healing process. It is believed that most illnesses are like an onion. Homeopathy works by peeling away one layer at a time, going deeper and deeper, working to address the root cause of the imbalance.
