Homeopathy is an Age Old Method of Healing
based on the Law of Similars
It is a therapeutic method which clinically applies the Law of Similars and which uses medicinal substances in weak or infinitesimal doses. Homeopathy is a form of medicine that is not habit-forming; nor does it cause side effects, as is frequently the case in conventional medicine. Treating the Person not the Disease Homoeopaths consider it better to treat the sick person rather than the disease. The Homeopath will sit with you for one or two hours, soliciting information on how you feel throughout your entire body and mind. Once they have a picture of the whole person, they consult the Materia Medica to find the one best remedy for all of the symptoms. Because homeopaths look at clients as whole persons, rather than a series of symptoms or carriers of a disease, they often prescribe different remedies for clients suffering from the same disease. This makes controlled studies problematical, but basic principles of homeopathy indicate clearly why this must be so. The remedies which are made come from animal, vegetable, chemical and mineral sources. However, the end product contains only minute amounts of the original sources. Drugs like morphine, cocaine and arsenic can also be used, but in their diluted forms to render them marvellously effective for good. Even substances which in their natural states have little or no obvious effect upon the human body (i.e. sand, charcoal, common salt, etc.) develop powerful healing properties when matched with the right client and after being diluted and potentized. Homeopathy is essentially natural healing Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body to resist negative toxins and thereby heal itself. Adequate rest, appropriate diet and a satisfactory environment will also support recovery. Rapid results can be achieved in acute illness, but if the client's vitality is low, long-term treatment may need to be undertaken. Sometimes irreversible bodily changes have already taken place. In these cases other forms of medical or surgical treatment may be necessary to give the client a fresh start. Then homeopathy will help prevent deterioration or recurrence. In summary, homeopathy is a form of medicine that assists the body in healing itself. It does not reject the great discoveries of modern medical science, only their commercial abuse. Homeopathy has stood the test of time, helping people achieve health not only in the last 150 years, but since its discovery 2000 years ago. Take advantage of the availability of this natural, non-abusive treatment. |
