What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a natural, safe, scientific system of
healing which recognizes the interaction between our
bodies, the environment and our emotions in illness,
rather than focusing just on the disease alone.
Homeopathy has successfully helped people for over two
hundred years. It is widely used in England, France,
Switzerland, Germany, India and many other countries. It
is growing fast in popularity in the U.S. because of its
success in healing people, especially those who have not
been helped by alternative or conventional medicine.
Great Britain's Royal Family, Mahatma Gandhi, John D.
Rockefeller, Sr., singer Naomi Judd and actress Lindsey
Wagner don't seem to have much in common--except that
they all have been strong supporters of homeopathic
medicine. There is one simple reason that these and
other respected individuals from all over the world
support and use homeopathy: it works.
How is Homeopathy Different from Other Forms of
Medicine?
Have you had situations where despite treatment, your
symptoms—and illness—return again and again?
Symptoms are the language that your body uses to tell
you it has a problem. Usually an individual goes to a
doctor for a specific problem or set of symptoms. You
are given medication to make the problem or symptoms go
away.
But your body produces symptoms as a way of talking to
you, to tell you that something is wrong. If the
symptoms are removed but the original reason for the
symptom is not dealt with, the same problem will return
again or will return as another ailment. This is because
the root cause—the inner imbalance— wasn't dealt with.
Homeopathy seeks to find the root cause and to eliminate
it completely.
With classical homeopathy we do this by looking at all
aspects of a person’s life plus their disease symptoms
together as one complex unit. With true healing, the
root of the problem is dealt with first; then those
symptoms are no longer needed by your body and they fade
away.
With good homeopathic treatment, most people feel a
greater sense of well being and happiness. Because
homeopathic care goes much deeper than most types of
treatment, changes in life-long problems, both physical
and emotional, have also been reported.
What Happens When a Person Sees a Homeopath?
When someone comes to me, I conduct a very thorough
interview. During this interview, I spend two or more
hours talking with them and learning about them.
In most cases I look at everything that is going on in
the person’s life, not just their physical symptoms. The
same person who comes in complaining of headaches may
also have depression, insecurity, low energy and other
problems. All of these problems may stem from the
person’s same inner imbalance.
Based on that in-depth fact gathering, I decide which
single remedy is the very best fit for them. This remedy
is specifically chosen to most completely match that
individual as a whole person to strengthen their
body and allow it to heal itself.
What Conditions Can Homeopathy Help?
Conditions that homeopathy has helped include anything
that does not involve destroyed tissue. For example,
asthma, which is an inflammatory condition, can usually
be improved. But emphysema, which is the destruction of
lung cells, would not be expected to reverse.
It may however, be reasonable to try homeopathy even in
the cases of irreversible tissue damage because
homeopathy frequently eases the person’s symptoms.
Even in cases where healing treatment is not possible,
such as advanced cases of arthritis, malignancies, etc.,
management and easing of symptoms with homeopathic
medicines improves the quality of life of such people
without the side-effects of drugs.
Conditions Homeopathy Has Improved
Here are a few of the things homeopathy has successfully
addressed: inflammatory conditions, auto-immune
diseases, chronic gastric and intestinal disorders,
stomach or head pain, depression, breathing problems and
shortness of breath, chronic muscle or joint pain,
psychological disorders, difficulty concentrating or
staying on task, allergic disorders, viral syndromes,
anxiety, skin diseases, chronic fatigue, ear infections,
inflammations and eruptions, menopausal, menstrual,
thyroid and other hormonal problems and many more
conditions.
Homeopathy is also very effective with colds and flu.
The action of a well-selected remedy is often faster
than with other medicines. In addition, with proper
homeopathic treatment the frequent repetition of
headaches, colds, flu, or other acute illnesses and
their tendency to become chronic is stopped.
If I am Using Conventional Drugs, Can I Also Use
Homeopathic Remedies?
It is very possible to use them together. Often people
come to see me after they have been to their medical
doctor and have a diagnosis and a prescription. I ask
that you continue to see your doctor as well as
employing homeopathy.
Homeopathy can be used effectively in dental treatment
and along side other therapies such as nutrition and
chiropractic. Homeopathy is also successful in the
treatment of animals and children.
What are the Remedies Made From?
Homeopathic remedies are all natural medicines made from
herbs, minerals or other natural substances.
Homeopathic remedies are officially recognized by the
FDA and only manufactured in FDA-licensed pharmacies. |
