What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is the holistic/therapeutic medical science which was based on the teachings of Hahnemann. The principles of Homeopathy have been around for two hundred years. The primary concept, or first law behind the field of Homeopathic Medicine is – LIKE CURES LIKE or the LAW OF SIMILARS- Hippocrates words were “Similia similibus curentur”. (Let the likes be cured by likes.) Let us utilize a simple example to better understand-If you have a food poisoning for example;(which is your natural disease state you present with) we would introduce a similar (NOT same disease state via the prescribed remedy). In this case, (a food poisoning you acquired which is the weaker/natural disease may be addressed with a stronger artificial disease state via the remedy we give your body’s Vital Force, (possibly arsenicum liquid), in an infinitesimal dose. Hence, a stronger, artificial disease state is created. These two disease states (your natural and the remedies artificial) cannot co-exist and thereby negate one another-hence, a “cure” by allowing the body’s own Vital Force-Energy, inner-wesen, or Dynamis to organize its defenses and rebound (from the inside of the body to the outside) until the patient is cured. The healing occurs because the artificial “drug” remedy disease is stronger, of shorter duration and replaces the natural weaker disease. The remedy, once curative measures are attained, will disappear on its own.  Homeopathic remedies are safe, non-toxic and have NO KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS.  They are safe for adults and children of all pages and may be used in conjunction with traditional pharmaceutical medicines.  There are over 3000 remedies currently utilized to treat patients.

How did the remedies come into being? Through “Provings”- The process involves the administration for the homeopathic remedies to healthy not ill, subjects. All data are recorded on these healthy subjects (i.e. unusual sensations, symptoms produced by the medicament and/or alterations) from the normal health of the test subject. In this way, the data obtained is utilized and applied to the unhealthy patients and we know what to expect in the way of alterations from normal health or anticipated effects. Hence, these clinical provings show the Homeopathic Practitioner if a particular well chosen remedy will be effective in “curing” the same symptoms in an unhealthy patient. Allopathic practices are likened to homeopathy when giving vaccines and allergy shots- as they follow the Law of Similars (to a degree), but the other laws of homeopathy have not been utilized. These include the provings, the law of the infinitesimal doses etc. Hence, gentle healing is achieved.
