What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural and scientific system of medicine that stimulates the body to heal itself. It addresses the fact that all symptoms of dis-ease are imbalances within the individual that must be treated on a holistic level. Thus, in homeopathy we treat the disharmony occurring in the patient as opposed to merely the “disease” state.

With homeopathy, the healing process of the body is activated by remedies which consist of diluted substances from plants, minerals or animal products. These medicines are safe and highly effective. These substances are repeatedly diluted and vigorously shaken (succussion). This process, known as potentization, diminishes the drug’s poisonous properties, which at the same time increases its healing effects. Homeopathic remedies can be used to treat a specific problem, to support resistance to disease, or to strengthen the body in general.

What can it treat?
Homeopathic remedies have the ability to improve the functioning of a particular physiological process, organ, organ system or the body as a whole, and/or prevent or treat a disease or the symptoms thereof. Homeopathic treatment can be particularly useful in deep-seated, chronic conditions that have developed over a long period of time, frequently accompanied by a general deterioration of health. It treats and is successful for health issues that have not been able to be addressed by allopathic medicine. Thus, homeopathy can be used for many health issues including chronic diseases such as Lupus, MS, IBS, Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis and many others. It is also very helpful for different conditions associated with menopause, PMS, digestion and sexual function.

Acute ailments such as injury, colds, flu, and ear infections can also be healed with homeopathy. A well-chosen homeopathic remedy can produce dramatic improvement in acute conditions (i.e., viral infections, physical injuries) by significantly reducing the intensity and recovery time. Even in advanced stages of pathology, in which cure may not be possible, homeopathy can alleviate or reduce severe symptoms, including pain, vomiting, anxiety or fear.

How does it work?
Healing is initiated when the remedy stimulates the body’s own power to heal itself. Evidence of your body’s amazing ability to heal can be observed in the process of a scab forming over a cut. However, healing does not always occur this fast and many times our body needs a gentle push in the right direction. Homeopathic remedies provide this push and therefore, the body’s own attempts at healing are supported and honored as opposed to subdued and ignored. Remedies have amazing healing capacities and the energy of the remedy affects the vital energy of the body directly, like a key, which is able to unlock the dysfunctional system. The remedy that is prescribed is normally in pill form and are administered under the tongue.
