Homeopathy, or homeopathic medicine founded in the late 1700’s by Samuel Hahnemann, is a holistic system of treatment based on the principle that “like cures like".

The system is based on the idea that substances that produce symptoms of sickness in healthy people will have a curative effect when given in very dilute quantities to sick people who exhibit those same symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are believed to stimulate the body's immune system and own healing processes. Homeopaths use the term "different than disease," to describe the use of drugs used in conventional medicine to oppose or counteract the symptom being treated.

Homeopathic physicians seek to cure their patients on the physical, mental and emotional levels, and each treatment is tailored to a patient's individual needs. Homeopathy is generally a safe treatment, as it uses medicines in extremely diluted quantities, and there are usually minimal side effects. Its non-toxicity makes it a good choice for the treatment of children. Another benefit of homeopathy is the cost of treatments; homeopathic remedies are inexpensive, often a fraction of the cost of conventional drugs.

Homeopathic remedies have been shown effective in treating many ailments and conditions
that affect millions of people every day, such as Colds and Flu, Rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, acne, sleep disorders, ADHD , d epression , s ymptoms of menopause , i mmune system functions as well as promoting body cleansing, detoxification, and free blood flow and circulation, which will help the body absorb the nutrients found in whole foods and Natural Herbs.

Homeopathy is a good treatment to explore for acute and chronic illnesses, particularly if these are found in the early stages and where there is not severe damage.

Another important thing to remember is that it is wise to avoid any substances that might interfere with your remedy. Certain substances have been found to reverse ("antidote") the effects of homeopathic remedies and medicines.

Avoid:

  • Coffee
  • Camphor, or camphorated products including products containing eucalyptus and camphor oils
  • Dental work, teeth cleaning, drilling or anesthetics
  • Electric blankets
  • Mint, or mentholated products
  • Nicotine
  • Recreational drugs
  • Some conventional drugs (Be sure to tell your homeopath what you are taking)
  • X-Rays
  • Stress, which can lower the resonance of a homeopathic remedy
