What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a healing art and science that is safe,
gentle and effective with over 200 years of clinical
experience. Homeopathic medicine uses extremely
small doses of substances prepared in a special way
to re-vitalize a person's health. The choice of the
medicine, referred to as a "remedy", is individualized for each patient according to
the symptoms and characteristics of that patient. In true homeopathy it is possible
for several persons with the same diagnosis to each receive a different remedy. So
homeopathic treatment is not "one size fits all". Furthermore, it is even possible for
a patient with an undiagnosable problem to receive effective treatment. When
used correctly, homeopathic healing is gentle and long lasting, because the
remedies work with the body's symptoms and other defense mechanisms instead
of against them.
In the early 1800's Samuel Hahnemann, a German-speaking medical doctor, first
systematized contemporary homeopathy. He found that if he prescribed
holistically-not just for the patient's main complaint(s)--that the patient would
experience a deeper healing. In some cases even life-threatening and "incurable"
diseases have been cured without the usual side effects. So still today a
homeopath treats each person as an individual and as a whole, taking into
consideration all of who s/he is and all of the person's history not just the person's
chief complaint. Homeopathy is a method of treatment available to lay persons for
acute self-care, as well as a medical specialty prescribed by licensed practitioners.
Homeopathic remedies are FDA approved.
