What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a unique medical art and science that uses small doses of natural remedies to stimulate the body's innate healing capacity.
The homeopath tries to perceive the individual physical, mental and emotional nature of each patient, always trying to treat the person individually, rather than the diagnosis.
The philosophical understanding of homeopathy is called the law of similars, "Like Cures Like". People have noticed that a substance that causes a disease or a symptom, can in very small doses, the energy of this substance, cure the same problem by stimulating the body to reorganize.
Homeopathic medicines are quite safe: they are known to be non-allergenic, non-toxic and without side effects. They are prepared from plant, mineral and animal substances by homeopathic pharmacies, according to strict guidelines set by the FDA. Those who practice homeopathy include naturopathic doctors, physicians, chiropractors, osteopathic doctors, as well as professional homeopaths.
The in-depth interviewing process delves deeply into the physical, mental, and emotional nature of the patient.
People often report that they value the process and individualized care provided by their homeopath. The remedy is selected by the practitioner after an interview and analysis. Classical homeopathy, as practiced in this office, was originally conceived by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), and encourages the practitioner to prescribe only one remedy at a time.
