About Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine originally developed by Samuel Hahnemann in Germany over 200 years ago.
It based on two main principles:
​
​
-
Like cures like :
The principle that something that can bring on symptoms in a healthy person can -- in a very small and diluted dose -- treat an illness with similar symptoms. An example of this would be a red onion that makes your eyes water and nose runny is used to treat allergies in homeopathy when it is highly diluted.

The Law of Minimal Dose:
In Homeopathy, remedies are prepared by diluting the original material substance to the point where the toxic and damaging effects are removed and the curative action is still present. This method increases the healing action of the substance and minimizes the side effects.

What is Homeopathy?
How does homeopathy work?
Individualized approach:
​
Homeopathy is a holistic system of medicine, meaning- the person is looked at as a whole: a combination of physical, emotional, and mental symptoms. Every person has their own story, their own life experiences, traumas, health history, triggers, genetic background,etc. No two people are the same and therefore no person will receive the same type of treatment/approach (just because one person got better after taking a specific remedy, does not mean you will too). The idea is that your homeopath will take all parts of you into account when working on your case, and then, and only then, will you be prescribed a remedy that fits your complete totality.
​
Homeopathic Medication (remedies):
​
Homeopathy is a holistic and natural system of medicine. All remedies prescribed are sourced from nature: plant source, mineral, or animal source. All remedies are safe to use for adults, children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Homeopathic remedies can be taken at the same time as other medications. Always consult with your practitioner before taking any remedies.
The Healing Process:
​
Our bodies are incredible and powerful machines that are designed to heal themselves. We have an immune system that protects us from foreign pathogens and helps us recover from infections, we have a liver to detoxify any toxic chemicals/substances that enter our body. When we get sick, there is a disturbance- a disease, and that is where homeopathy comes in. What homeopathy does is; it gives our bodies information, a recipe ,a signal, a gentle nudge in the right direction to getting better by initiating the healing response. Homeopathy does not suppress symptoms, it does not hide them for temporary relief. It addresses the root cause of the disease, the disturbance in your system (i.e. stress, overuse of medication, etc) and then gives your body the tools it needs to start healing.
