Homeopathy comes from the Greek words "homeo" meaning similar and "pathos" meaning disease or suffering; hence, the name homeopathy because it is based on the "law of similars". This like-cures-like approach stimulates a person's own curative powers by administering very small doses of natural substances, i.e. plant, mineral and animal. These homeopathic remedies specifically match different symptom patterns or "profiles" of illness, and act to stimulate your life force or “vital force”. Healing can occur very rapidly once the vital force is flowing freely.
Homeopathy is a holistic science and as such it addresses the whole person--her life, her personality, her emotions, her genetic background and the cause of her illness. Homeopathy views symptoms as the body’s natural reaction in fighting the illness. Homeopathic remedies, when properly prescribed, can eliminate the underlying cause of disease, thus establishing a healthy balance between an organism and its environment.
Homeopathy was established for over 200 years ago by German physician Samuel Hahneman, and is recognized by the World Health Organization as the second largest therapeutic system in the world. Homeopathic remedies are diluted in a specific way that increases their potential to remedy ailments while at the same time making toxicity impossible. The manufacture and sale of homeopathic remedies are regulated by the FDA.
Q: Should I use homeopathy just by itself or should I combine it with other methods of healing?
A: I find homeopathy works best when combined with other holistic modalities such as detoxification and nutritional counseling.
For example, headaches and insomnia are symptoms which clearly point towards certain homeopathic remedies; however these remedies will not work properly if there are underlying issues of toxicity or nutritional imbalance.
So, I use a combined approach tailored to each client's individual needs and situation.
