Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses dilute substances from plant, animal as well as mineral kingdoms to aid the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Homeopathy has been used for hundreds of years and is based on the principle that, “like cures like”. All homeopathic remedies have their own symptom picture; this is what is unique about a remedy and what it will be used to treat in the individual. When a Homeopathic Practitioner sees a patient they are looking for what is unique to the individual and they match that uniqueness to the remedies unique qualities.
Homeopathy looks at the whole rather then just placing emphasis on the disease state. The mental, emotional and physical aspects of the patient are all considered during each consultation with a Homeopath. This information will help determine the appropriate remedy for the patient.
Homeopathic medicine is safe and has little to no side effects, its based on removing the root cause of an illness and therefore does not suppress symptoms, treats physical, mental and emotional distress, looks at each patient as unique, and is complementary to many systems of medicine.
