What is homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a safe and effective, gentle way to improved well-being that can help with a wide range of health concerns. It uses specially prepared, FDA-approved natural remedies to stimulate the body’s immune system and healing processes. Used world-wide by millions of people for over 200 years, it is very popular in Europe and India. The British Royal family has used it for generations and the Swiss Government recently recognized it as being equal to conventional medicine. Homeopathy is becoming increasingly popular in the USA.
Homeopathy works in a different way to conventional medicine. Conventional medical approaches tend to view the body as a collection of separate parts governed by biochemistry and threatened by external disease-causing agents. In order to fight disease, conventional medicine opposes these factors, using drugs to alter the body’s internal chemistry or to kill invading bacteria. Unfortunately, this approach can result in unwanted side-effects.
Homeopathy has a more holistic approach. It considers the body to be an integrated whole and aims to strengthen the entire system. Symptoms are viewed as the body’s attempts to fight disease and also as crucial clues to a healing remedy. Skilled analysis of the pattern of symptoms leads the homeopath to a remedy capable of stimulating the body’s own powers of recovery. Homeopathic remedies are among the safest medications available, free from the chemical side-effects common in pharmaceutical drugs.
It is often said that homeopathy treats the person, not the disease. Homeopathic practitioners recognize that each person is different, having a unique set of symptoms that needs to be taken into consideration when selecting a remedy. Homeopathy does not rely on a diagnostic label, but seeks to understand the underlying cause of a person’s illness, taking into account at the whole range of symptoms experienced – physical, mental and emotional. This means that it can often help when conventional approaches have failed, or cannot offer a diagnosis.
In order to do this, an in-depth consultation is needed that goes into your symptoms in great detail. It also asks about your life and health history, along with your unique responses to things such as foods and environment; your likes and dislikes, loves and fears. The homeopath does not just ask what ails you, but who ARE you. Homeopathy is the original “personalized medicine,” as a remedy is individually selected based on the total picture of your unique personality, history, responses and symptoms.
The correctly selected remedy (there are over 3000 homeopathic remedies available) can act profoundly by improving your overall state of health, not only relieving symptoms, but also leading to greater energy and an enhanced sense of well-being, freedom and fulfillment.
Homeopathy can also be used for acute illnesses, such as colds, coughs, flu, stomach upsets and injuries. Recovery can be rapid when the correct remedy is taken – sometimes within minutes!
