Homeopathy
What is homeopathy?
The word homeopathy translates as similar suffering.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that can be used on its own or alongside other medical treatments.
The fundamental idea is that a person falls ill when their vital force is out of tune. Thus, healing is also directed at the vital force, not at individual symptoms. When the vital force strengthens, symptoms and ailments improve. Homeopathy treats symptoms of the body, emotions, and mind, as well as both acute and chronic illnesses.
What happens during a homeopath’s consultation?
The homeopath interviews the client and asks about their complaints. Medical history, hereditary factors, and life events are also explored. The homeopath seeks to gain as comprehensive a picture as possible of the client’s symptoms and nature in order to identify the correct homeopathic remedy, following the principle of similar suffering.
What is a homeopathic remedy?
Homeopathic remedies are made from substances found in nature. They are diluted to such an extent that, chemically speaking, they are water. In the potentisation process used in preparation, the information of the original substance is transferred to the final remedy. The efficacy of the remedy is based on the “memory” of water – that is, water’s capacity to carry information. A correctly chosen homeopathic remedy strengthens the vital force and removes obstacles to healing.
At its best, homeopathic treatment is so gentle that symptoms seem to disappear as if on their own!
