Homeopathy
Homeopathy has a remarkable approach to health. Rather than relying on chemicals to control unwanted symptoms or force a particular response, homeopathy uses highly diluted FDA regulated remedies to trigger your body's natural healing abilities. The correctly chosen remedy will stimulate your own body's healing response and strengthen your body to be more resistant to the problem in the future.
​
Hippocratic writings show that homeopathic principles were known at least 2,000 years ago. It was not until the 1800's that it was developed into a usable system by the German scientist and physician,
Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Since then the popularity of homeopathy has steadily increased as people discover its ability to safely restore health.
​
Homeopathic remedies are gentle and effective. They are obtained mainly from mineral, plant, and animal sources. The remedies are converted into sub-molecular preparations by a process called potentisation. Pontentisation increases the substances energetic properties, removes toxicity, and leaves the remedies free of chemical side-effects. Homeopathic remedies do not poison, will not interact with other medication, and are non-addictive. They are safe for people of all ages, including babies, the elderly and the pregnant. Homeopathic remedies can even be used with animals and plants.
​
Homeopathy is based on the following principles:
​
-
Law of Similars
-
Homeopathic remedies are suggested according to a natural law known as the Law of Similars. Thi​s law allows Homeopaths to correct symptoms of ill-health with substances that produce similar symptoms when tested on a healthy person.
-
-
Potentisation
-
Potentisation involves the repeated dilution and jarring shaking (succession) of a substance to remove its toxic effects. In the process, healing effects are amplified. The making of a homeopathic remedy is as simple as dissolving a substance in liquid, succussing it (shaking it with a pounding action against the palm of your hand or a book​), diluting it further, succussing, diluting again, succussing, and so on. These stages, even if repeated tens of thousands of times, will produce a stimulating remedy.
-
We are not sure why potentisation works. What we understand is that the potentisation process imprints energetic information from the original substance onto the diluting liquid during the stages of succussion. The potentized remedy then carries the energetic information into the body to trigger a healing response. Physicists and researches are still exploring the mechanism by which these effects occur.​​
-
The benefits of potency include;
-
Removes harmful side-effects​​
-
Turns poisons into safe remedies.
-
Converts inactive substances into remedies.
-
Removes addictive effects.
-
Safe to use with conventional medicines.
-
-
-
Minimal dose
-
Use of the smallest dose to elicit a healing response.​
-
-
One remedy at a time
-
Only one remedy at a time is given. This is the only way to evaluate your response to the remedy.​
-
-
Individualization
-
The homeopath views the person's health as a condition of the entire individual rather than in terms of isolated symptoms. The ultimate goal is for the homeopath to understand what is unique about you. Homeopaths do not diagnose disease or treat diseases. Homeopaths treat the person, not the disease.​
-
-
The Vital Force
-
The energy animating all living beings that is stimulated by a ​remedy to promote self-healing.
