Dr. Samuel Hahneman discovered homeopathy over 200 years ago, yet its foundation and roots have been around for centuries. Homeopathy, or Homeopathic Medicine, is the practice of medicine that embraces a holistic, natural approach to the treatment of the sick. It is holistic because it treats the person as a whole, rather than focusing on a diseased part or a labeled sickness. Homeopathy is natural because its remedies are produced according to the U.S. FDA-recognized Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States from natural sources, whether vegetable, mineral, or animal in nature.

Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, or as some have called it “like cures like”, which dates back to the Greek Father of Medicine, Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.). This principle states that the same substance that produces disease symptoms in a healthy person, when given in concentrated doses, can also heal a sick person with similar symptoms, when given in a very diluted form. The Homeopath is always looking for the one substance that, in its raw form, would give you what you’ve got! For example, we’ve all experienced running eyes and burning nose as we peel onions in the kitchen. A homeopathic remedy, called Allium Cepa, made from the red onion, will effectively dry up similar allergy and cold symptoms.

Unlike western medicines, with their many side effects, in homeopathy less is more, and the remedies are so highly dilute that the treatment yields no side effects and is safe even for babies, animals, and pregnant women. The body is constantly attempting to obtain homeostasis, trying to heal itself, and homeopathy assists in this process. Homeopathy works energetically, as it stimulates your body’s own vital force and re-establishes balance in the entire being. It treats the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of disease. It can treat minor, acute problems to chronic and long-term ailments. Homeopathic remedies are prepared to modern high standards of safety and are recognized as complementary and alternative to other treatments and medicines.
