Homeopathy is a highly systematic medical science based on the law of similars (like cures like) which was developed by the German physician, Samuel Hahnemann in the early 1800s. This centuries old method of healing is proven safe and effective and relies on the body’s natural ability to restore balance. There are never any side effects or toxicity because all the homeopathic medicines are given in “micro-dosages.”
Hahnemann revolutionalized our understanding of disease after observing that certain symptoms were characteristic of certain sustances interacting with the hosts defense. These symptoms are viewed as the body's natural response to internal imbalances, rather than an unhealthy response needing to be suppressed through treatment.
Homeopathic treatment involves determining the correct remedy for a set of symptoms, or "symptom picture". Match the symptom picture of a particular remedy with that of the illness, and you've basically found the correct remedy (not always as simple as it may sound ~ symptoms change ). Professional homeopathic practitioners may have years of experience in determining the subtleties involved. However, there are generally a few remedies that are historically proven to be effective at treating common symptom pictures, and these can be determined at home.
The beauty of homeopathy is that the correctly prescribed 'remedy' stimulates and encourages the body's innate healing abilities, working to create balance. Discerning the correct homeopathic medication is actually far more important then the strength, amount or frequency of that medication. From the homeopathic perspective, once the body recognizes even the tiniest fragment of a substance it will respond accordingly. However, since these dosages are so small, they are not harmful (this is another beautiful thing about homeopathy). Homeopathic medicines are highly diluted, natural remedies, derived from plant, mineral, and animal substances and are prepared by pharmacies under federal regulation using the highest professional standards.
