Family Wellness through Homeopathy

What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a natural, safe, scientific system of healing which recognizes the interaction between our bodies, the environment and our emotions in illness, rather than focusing just on the disease alone.

Homeopathy has successfully helped people for over two hundred years. It is widely used in England, France, Switzerland, Germany, India and many other countries. It is growing fast in popularity in the U.S. because of its success in healing people, especially those who have not been helped by alternative or conventional medicine.

Great Britain's Royal Family, Mahatma Gandhi, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., singer Naomi Judd and actress Lindsey Wagner all have been strong supporters of homeopathic medicine.  There is one simple reason that these and other respected individuals from all over the world support and use homeopathy: it works.

How is Homeopathy Different from Other Forms of Medicine?
 

Have you had situations where despite treatment, your symptoms—and illness—return again and again?

But your body produces symptoms as a way of talking to you, to tell you that something is wrong. If the symptoms are removed but the original reason for the symptom is not dealt with, the same problem will return again or will return as another ailment. This is because the root cause—the inner imbalance— wasn't dealt with. Homeopathy seeks to find the root cause and to eliminate it completely.

With classical homeopathy we do this by looking at all aspects of a person’s life plus their disease symptoms together as one complex unit. With true healing, the root of the problem is dealt with first; then those symptoms are no longer needed by your body and they fade away.

With good homeopathic treatment, most people feel a greater sense of well being and happiness. Because homeopathic care goes much deeper than most types of treatment, changes in life-long problems, both physical and emotional, have also been reported.

What Happens When a Person Sees a Homeopath?
 

When someone comes to me, I conduct a very thorough interview. During this interview, I spend two or more hours talking with them and learning about them.

In most cases I look at everything that is going on in the person’s life, not just their physical symptoms. The same person who comes in complaining of headaches may also have depression, insecurity, low energy and other problems. All of these problems may stem from the person’s same inner imbalance.

Based on that in-depth fact gathering, I decide which single remedy is the very best fit for them. This remedy is specifically chosen to most completely match that individual as a whole person to strengthen their body and allow it to heal itself.

Conditions that homeopathy has helped include anything that does not involve destroyed tissue. For example, asthma, which is an inflammatory condition, can usually be improved. But emphysema, which is the destruction of lung cells, would not be expected to reverse.

Even in cases where healing treatment is not possible, such as advanced cases of arthritis, malignancies, etc., management and easing of symptoms with homeopathic medicines improves the quality of life of such people without the side-effects of drugs.

Conditions Homeopathy Has Improved

Here are a few of the things homeopathy has successfully addressed:  inflammatory conditions, auto-immune symptoms, chronic gastric and intestinal disorders, stomach or head pain, depressive symptoms, breathing problems and shortness of breath, chronic muscle or joint pain, psychological disorders, difficulty concentrating or staying on task, allergic disorders, viral syndromes, anxiety, skin symptoms, symptoms of chronic fatigue, ear infections, inflammations and eruptions, menopausal, menstrual, thyroid and other hormonal problems and many more conditions.

Homeopathy is also very effective with colds and flu. The action of a well-selected remedy is often faster than with other medicines. In addition, with proper homeopathic treatment the frequent repetition of headaches, colds, flu, or other acute illnesses and their tendency to become chronic is stopped.

If I am Using Conventional Drugs, Can I Also Use Homeopathic Remedies?

What are the Remedies Made From?

Homeopathic remedies are all natural medicines made from herbs, minerals or other natural substances.

Homeopathic remedies are officially recognized by the FDA and only manufactured in FDA-licensed pharmacies.

When Professional Homeopathic Care is Appropriate

There are seven primary indications when professional homeopathic care is recommended:

1. Disease Prevention and Health Promotion:
A constitutional homeopathic remedy can help “tune up” a person on many levels, mentally, physically and emotionally, to help them experience vibrant health, energy and well being.

2. Genetic Disorders:
Although homeopathic remedies cannot heal genetic disorders, patients with these problems who receive homeopathic care often don’t experience the various complications of their ailments as often as people who do not pursue homeopathic care. Homeopathy can reduce the impact of genetic disease on a person’s health.

3. Preconception, pregnancy and postpartum:
Homeopathy helps both mom and baby. It can lead to quicker conception, especially if both prospective parents receive homeopathic treatment. It can reduce the chance of miscarriage, remove the “common” symptoms of pregnancy (nausea, hemorrhoids and heartburn) and promote a smooth, uncomplicated labor and delivery. (As a side note, the babies born to moms who have received homeopathic care are uniformly very calm, healthy, alert, easy babies.)

4. Recurrent, Subtle Symptoms:
A person may not have any clearly diagnosable condition but may not be as healthy as he or she could be. That person may have subtle, vague and seemingly unrelated symptoms such as low energy, sore throats, poor sleep, headaches, poor digestion, irritability, etc.

5. Serious Acute Symptoms:
While conventional medicine is effective in dealing with serious acute symptoms such as injuries or fast moving infections, one can often use homeopathy along side such health problems with great results.
 

6. Recurrent Injuries:
This refers to situations where people re-injure themselves in the same spot months or years after the initial injury. The person may have an internal weakness that makes him or her susceptible to such injuries. Not only can homeopathy provide deep healing of the injury itself but it can also help remove that susceptibility to easy injury.

7. Chronic Ailments:
Homeopathy is very useful and effective for most chronic diseases: asthma symptoms, hormonal problems, depression and allergies are all treatable with homeopathy. Many people with chronic diseases eventually use homeopathy because conventional medications often create side effects that are more difficult than the original disease.
