What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a safe, gentle, and natural system of healing that works with your body to RELIEVE symptoms, RESTORE itself, and IMPROVE your overall health.

​

Homeopathy was developed in the late 18th century by Samuel Hahnemann of Germany.  The foundation of homeopathy is that "like cures like".  

​

LIKE CURES LIKE 

The use of homeopathic medicines – popularly known as remedies – is based on the discovery that natural substances are capable of curing the same symptoms that they can cause.  By studying the symptoms that develop when a healthy person tests or “proves” a remedy, homeopaths can determine which symptoms the remedy is capable of curing.  This is called the Law of Similars or “like cures like.”

A simple example of this principle can be seen with the common onion.  Slicing an onion can cause symptoms of burning and watery eyes, as well as sneezing and a runny nose.  Many hayfever sufferers with symptoms of burning, watery eyes, sneezing, and runny nose have found dramatic relief after taking homeopathic Allium Cepa (the remedy made from red onion).  Thus the substance that can cause symptoms can, as a remedy, also cure them.

HOMEOPATHY RECOGNIZES EACH PERSON IS UNIQUE

​

During your consultation, I really work to understand and see your case through all aspects of how you experience your ailment(s).  This means that I look at you in entirety, including your physical, mental and emotional states and how those symptoms paint a picture of you. 

No two people will experience symptoms the same way.  For example, lets look at migraines and how they affect people differently.  One may crave coffee

before their migraine comes on while another may experience an aura

before theirs'.
