Homeopathy, which has more than 200 years of clinical history, is a very safe and effective form of therapy.
The clinical records of hospitals from the last century up to the present time demonstrate its ability to cure a variety of diseases, from cholera to rheumatoid arthritis. Homeopathy is practiced in over 50 countries in the world including Europe, South America, India, Indonesia, and United States and Canada. It is the most common alternative medicine in the world.
Homeopathic medicines are specially prepared natural animal, vegetable or mineral substances that stimulate the person’s vitality to overcome disease. Homeopathic pharmacies produce these medicines which are FDA regulated over the counter substances. Homeopathic medicines are prepared in such small doses that no toxic effect is produced as long as they are used properly. The correctly selected remedy will dramatically decrease susceptibility to illness, and enhance overall energy and well-being to restore health.
Homeopathy does not recognize disease diagnosis as separate from the patient. We treat the whole person and not any particular symptoms. When the person is cured there are no more symptoms.
Proper homeopathic treatment is according to strict principles based on a holistic understanding of health and disease.
The principles of homeopathy are:
- Treatment according to the law of similars
- The single remedy
- The smallest dose of medicine that will cure
- Individualization
- Prescribing for the Totality of Symptoms
- No repetition while improvement lasts
- Proving: symptoms elicited when the medication is given to healthy volunteers
The law of similars is a principle of healing which states that any medicinal substance that produces certain characteristic symptoms in the healthy will cure similar symptoms in the ill. A simple example of this law is that it is sometimes efficacious to use the homeopathic preparation of the common onion (Allium cepa) to relieve acutely the symptoms of seasonal allergy. The rules which govern the practice of homeopathy have withstood the test of two hundred years of clinical practice. Since its beginning, homeopathy has based its practice on the interconnectedness of mind, emotions and body. When the patient is cured of a rash, for example, he or she will find that every other aspect of health has improved - sleep, immunity, emotions, energy and overall well-being.
