Homeopathy

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy’s core principle is the Law of Similars: "Like cures like" (Samuel Hahnemann 1755-1843, who introduced and developed homeopathy). What a substance can produce in a healthy person, can also be used to stimulate a healing response in someone presenting with those similar symptoms. The preparation of homeopathic remedies makes them safe and gentle to use. I use the classical approach to homeopathy which means one remedy at a time that matches your total symptom picture: mentally, emotionally, and physically.  Homeopathic remedies stimulate your body’s natural healing response, your immune system, to bring about healing. 

HOW LONG HAVE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES BEEN AROUND?

Homeopathic remedies have been used for more than 200 years. China Officinalis (Peruvian Bark) was the first remedy proven by Samuel Hahnemann in 1790.

ARE HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES SAFE?

Homeopathic medicines are quite safe. They are non-toxic, non-allergenic, and without side effects. They are manufactured by homeopathic pharmacies under FDA guidelines. Check for HPUS on the remedy label which stands for Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.

CAN I TAKE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES ALONG WITH MY MEDICATIONS?

Unless the product label provides any warnings to the contrary, it is safe to use your homeopathic remedies while taking them, as there are generally no known drug-to-drug interactions or contraindications.

CAN I USE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR MY PETS?

Yes, there are veterinarians who use homeopathy in their practice with not only dogs and cats but farm animals and more. It is particularly helpful when the owner has made careful observations of symptoms as this can sometimes contribute to finding the best remedy.
