Homeopathy is based on the Principle that "Like Cures Like." ​ What is Homeopathy? Homeopathy is a WHO recognized healthcare system that has been in use for over 200 years and it is the second most widely used therapeutic system in the world. Through the utilization of Homeopathic natural medicine, millions of people around the globe have benefited from treatments for both their acute illnesses and chronic conditions. 2 Primary Principles of Homeopathy: Principle 1: “Like cures like” A substance which is capable of producing specific symptoms within a healthy individual can be utilized in an individual with an illness to treat those same symptoms when present. Principle 2: “The minimum dose” Based upon the understanding that homeopathic medicines are stimuli for healing and that we need only give enough to produce a response. This ensures that treatments will be as gentle and natural as they are healing and effective. In Homeopathy along with most natural healing arts, we trust that given the proper environment to thrive, that the body knows how to heal. This is because we understand that the body has a natural innate intelligence, and through the immune system, it gives the body an innate ability to recover from injury, illness, and disease. Through the use of various homeopathic remedies, we can help stimulate this healing response, therefore boosting the body’s own vitality and working in conjunction with the body’s own natural healing process instead of against it through the use of chemicals or medications. Through a detailed Homeopathic consultation, homeopathy allows individuals to have a better understanding of themselves and how their actions, thoughts, and habits and how they contribute to your overall level of health and wellness. What can be treated with Homeopathy? Homeopathy treats a variety of health conditions, including: headaches and migraines; depression, anxiety, hyperactivity; colds, flus, lung infections, asthma and allergies; ear infections, vertigo; skin diseases, like acne, eczema, psoriasis; digestive problems, acid reflux, colitis; arthritis and bursitis; women’s health, pregnancy and menopause-related issues; urinary infections; fatigue and sleeping problems; diabetes and hypertension; and many other conditions.
