Description

Classical homeopathy is an alternative medical practice that was developed in the 1700s in Germany. It is the use of one substance to treat a person’s symptoms. By comparison, non-classical homeopathy uses more than one substance or a combined remedy to treat a person’s symptoms.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine, which uses natural remedies to stimulate the body’s self-healing powers. It is a “holistic” medicine in that it sees the symptoms of the body and mind as a totality. Symptoms of ill health are seen as expressions of the healing process within the whole person, and that the whole person needs treatment, not just the isolated symptoms of a defined illness. The substances used are extremely diluted and “activated” in such a way that there are no biological side effects.

What will the homeopathic consultation and treatment be like?

The homeopathic consultation takes longer and requires different information than other medical visits. You will be asked about a number of issues – your physical symptoms, sleep, mental or emotional traumas, what makes you feel better or worse, how you are affected by the environment, dreams, fears, food desires/aversions, and family history. This information is used to find a matching remedy.
Response to remedy is variable for each person and depends on the depth and length of their illness, whether there has been suppression from medications, their vitality, etc. Generally positive changes will be noted in several weeks or months, but deeper cure takes time.
