What is Homeopathy?

logo 2.jpgHomeopathy is a system of natural and holistic healing that aims to heal people as a whole, not just the symptom. This is accomplished using individualized, energy based homeopathic remedies, which work with the body to activate it’s own healing mechanisms. In homeopathy, the goal is to address the general needs and wellness of the person, not just the disease.

What Homeopathy Actually Is

Homeopathy is very much in a league of its own. It is an holistic, energy-based medicine that aims to inspire healing on every level-psychologically, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Homeopathy works on four core principles:

like cures like – this means to treat an ailment using by utilizing the energetic properties of a substance that causes similar ailments. For example, a person could use homeopathic Sulphur to treat a skin ailment such as eczema or cellulitis. Sulphur in its original form produces similar symptoms when coming in contact with skin.

totality – homeopathic remedies are used to address the entire person, not just individual symptoms or conditions.

potentization – homeopathy uses remedies that are potentized, which means that they work on a more energetic level in enhancing health and well being.

minimum dose – because homeopathy involves using potentized energy remedies, homeopaths use the least amount of doses necessary to rebalance the body’s healing mechanisms.

Homeopathic Remedy Makeup

In a nutshell, homeopathic remedies are derived from various substances such as plants, herbs, minerals, and even animals.

Through a series complex and long processes, known as potentization and succussion, the energetic properties of a specific type of substance are extracted and manifested into a sugar-pellet with its own potency.

So while the remedy itself barely contains anything left of the original substance, it still retains the substance’s energy and essence, which is the main component in the homeopathic remedy used to find the right remedy for the patient and the totality of a person’s symptoms.

Because the makeup of each and every homeopathic remedy essentially consists of its own respective energy, this makes homeopathy VERY individualized, unlike the vast majorities of conventional and even alternative medicines out there.

Each person being treated homeopathically, based on their own unique symptoms, will require a remedy best suited for them.

For example, even if 10 people are undergoing severe grief issues, those same 10 people will most likely receive their own remedy suited best for them and their individual symptoms.
