About Homeopathy
Law of Similars – “Like cures like….Any substance which can produce a totality of symptoms in a healthy human being can cure that totality of symptoms in a sick human being.”
Samuel Hahnemann, 1796
Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine that has been in use worldwide for over 200 years.
It is the second largest system of medicine in the world, offering a holistic approach to health and healing without the suppression of symptoms.
Its use is based on the understanding that psychological, emotional and physical imbalances influence a person’s susceptibility to disease.
The homeopath is therefore treating the whole person, not a specific part of the body or symptom.
This requires taking into consideration mental, emotional and physical symptoms and reviewing the timeline of that person’s life. It is useful to understand that physical symptoms are the body’s way of overcoming imbalances and illness.
The vital response needed for healing may be inhibited by a number of factors eg toxicity, malnutrition or environmental factors and where healing is slowed or ‘stuck’.
Homeopathic remedies deliver energetic messages to the body to exaggerate those stuck symptoms, stimulating the natural vital flow and therefore, a healing response.
A temporary ‘aggravation’ in symptoms may be experienced which is simply a sign that the vital force has indeed been triggered and self-healing is taking place.
Remedies are prescribed that closely mimic the disease state and its energy, resulting in a neutralization or change in symptoms.
The fact that homeopathic remedies are entirely safe and free of side-effects means they are suitable for anyone of all ages.
