What Illnesses Can Homeopathy Treat?
Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine using highly diluted substances which stimulate the body to heal itself. Discovered and developed by Samuel Hahnemann over 200 years ago, homeopathy continues to be an effective holistic system of healing. The homeopathic medicines, better known as remedies, work according to the Law of Similars or “like cures like”. Remedies stimulate healing according to what symptoms they create when taken repeatedly over a period of time by a healthy person. For example; let’s imagine for a moment you are peeling and chopping up a nice big red onion. What do you feel? Quite likely your resulting symptoms would include a few or all of the following: burning watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, filling sinuses, irritated throat and coughing. A homeopathic preparation of red onion would stimulate healing of an illness, like hay fever, that produces these symptoms.
Remedies are prepared from natural substances--plants, animals, minerals, etc--which are repeatedly diluted and succussed (vigorously shaken). The remedies become more powerful as this standardized process of dilution and succession continues. The method is called potentization and is the hallmark of all homeopathic remedies.
The extreme dilution used in potentization, in preparing homeopathic remedies, renders them non-toxic and safe for everyone of all ages, even during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are affects, usually mild and short in duration, that you will feel as your body goes about healing; these are extremely variable and depend on the illness being cured, the sensitivity of the individual, and the remedy and potency being used, however, they are not dangerous to your health. If you have further questions here please call or email me.
Homeopathy can be effective in treating virtually any health issue—illness, injury, operations (to improve healing from), chronic pains and ailments that there seems no solution for. For example, this means that whether you have a swollen, painful toe from stubbing it, or arthritis pain, cancer, or long lingering affects from an illness like shingles, homeopathy can help, even stimulating a complete cure. Your body is the great healer; homeopathy facilitates turning on its powers.
