Homeopathy

This page begins to explain what homeopathy is and how it can work for you.

Homeopathy is a system of healing that was introduced and developed over 200 years ago by a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann. Hahnemann developed and practiced this model of healing because he believed it would bring relief from chronic illness without the devastating effects of the treatments of that time, which often included routine bleedings and large doses of crude drugs. Through his research and experience with patients, he developed a system based on the principle of "Like Cures Like", also known as the Law of Similars. Interestingly, it was Hippocrates, the man considered to be the father of allopathic medicine, who proclaimed that "through the like, disease is produced and through the application of the like it is cured".

Homeopathy has evolved tremendously since the time of Hahnemann and continues to do so today. What has not changed are the principles that guide this healing model because they are based on natural law. Homeopathy is based on the natural law known as the Law of Similars and the word homeopathy actually means "similar suffering". The Law of Similars states that a natural substance taken in a toxic dose creates a set of symptoms - physical, mental and emotional. If that natural substance is taken in a homeopathically prepared remedy, it can alleviate the same symptoms it produces. Thus, "Like Cures Like". The remedies stimulate the body's innate ability to heal itself. When this happens, the symptoms being manifested are remedied. This is different than allopathic medicine whose methods mask and manage symptoms.

Homeopathy has something to offer everyone and is effective in promoting greater health and well-being. It works with any living being and has been effective in treating a wide range of conditions, especially chronic illnesses. Included in these are:

- injuries such as sprains, tendonitis, burns and insect stings

- recovery from dental procedures and surgery

- acute conditions such as influenza, colds and coughs and food poisoning

- chronic conditions including allergies, arthritis, asthma, recurrent ear infections, canker sores, migraine headaches, sinusitis, bronchitis, acid reflux and irritable bowel

- immune system dysfunctions including lupus, thyroid disorders, fibromyalgia, MS and chronic fatigue

- emotional and psychological ailments including depression, anxiety, panic attacks and eating disorders

- menstrual complaints and infertility

- sleep conditions such as insomnia and nightmares

- childhood difficulties such as bed-wetting, teething difficulties and colic

- it has even helped with childhood conditions such as attention deficit disorders, learning disabilities, developmental delays and autism - conditions that conventional methods have had little success with.

Homeopathy is not only capable of restoring health, but can prevent the reoccurrence of the condition by addressing the underlying cause of why someone is susceptible to becoming ill. It is the connection between all symptoms that leads the homeopath to one remedy. The single remedy chosen is based on the whole person. That is why the remedy addresses ALL of the symptoms rather than just a single condition.

So, if you are frustrated by your current state of health, homeopathy offers a safe, effective and non-toxic method for restoring health and maintaining a higher level of well-being. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

"The highest ideal of cure is the rapid, gentle and permanent restoration of health; that is the lifting and annihilation of the disease in its entire extent in the shortest, most reliable and least harmful way, according to clearly realizable principles."

- Samuel Hahnemann
