Homeopathy

In recent years important changes in thinking about health and disease have been occurring in our society.  Increasingly, the public has educated itself about healthy diet, exercise and a wide variety of holistic therapies.  People are looking for control of symptoms as well as restoration of health.  It is not a new way of thinking as several thousand years ago, this was the thinking of ancient Egypt, Greece and China.  “Every being is an integrated whole.”  A true medicine of healing will consider the physical, mental and emotional elements in a unified manner, this is homeopathy’s approach.  Homeopathy treats people, not the disease.  Homeopathy, a Greek work, means “like disease” or “like suffering”, which expresses the basic principle of homeopathy – the treatment of like with like – the Law of Similars. 

For example, everyone knows what happens when slicing an onion.  The eyes water and burn, there is sneezing and the nose runs like a faucet.  If a patient with hay fever, allergies or a cold presents these symptoms, he may be treated with an extract of the onion, Allium Cepa (red onion).  Another example is the use of the plant extract, belladonna for the treatment of scarlet fever.  The effects of belladonna poisoning include flushed face, dilated pupils, dry mouth and a high fever.  These symptoms are typical of scarlet fever, very small doses of belladonna have many times been effective in curing this illness.  Homeopathy can help illnesses such as :  acute illnesses, flu, cold,; emotional and mental illness; injuries; obstetric problems;  female hormonal problems; and chronic disease.  Homeopathy is  powerful, safe and effective.
