About Homeopathy
Homeopathy has been practiced for over 200 years. It was widely used in the USA, Europe, and India in the 1800 until the discovery of antibiotics and other modern medicines.
Homeopathy is experiencing a significant resurgence over the past 20 years as people are looking for natural and holistic ways of treating illnesses and achieving greater health and well being.
Homeopathy belongs to the category of "Energy Medicines", therefore it is difficult to demonstrate its action with conventional scientific measures.
Homeopathic medicines are made from micro dilutions of plants, metals, minerals or animal origin. They are energy frequencies held by water molecules. These frequencies can be taken up by the water, which surrounds each cell in our bodies. (we are 80% water)
How does Homeopathy differ from conventional medicine?
With conventional medicine the aim is to remove the complaint or symptom either by surgery or medication.This approach does not address the underlying cause of the problem. Medication usually has to be continued for long periods in order to keep the symptoms under control.
Homeopathy works by stimulating the body's "Vital Force", a term used by Samuel Hahnemann, who is the founder of Homeopathy. It refers to the same energy system, which in Chinese Medicine is termed "Chi".
The "Vital Force" enables the body to heal itself, as we experience when we have an acute illness such as cold or an injury.
In chronic conditions,the "Vital Force" is compromised and is not able to overcome the disease. The role of the Homeopathic medicine is to restore the "Vital Force",so that it can resolve the problem and bring the organism back to health and harmony.
Homeopathic medicines are given for a short period of time until the healing process is set in motion.
What can be treated?
I have treated many cases of eczema and related allergies like hay fever or asthma, because people don’t usually get satisfactory results from conventional medicines or they don’t like the side effects of the medications. The same applies for PMS, menopausal symptoms, migraines, chronic coughs, irritable bowl syndrome and many others.
With Homeopathy I can treat a particular problem successfully, even when there is no diagnosis established. I always rely on the symptoms exactly as the patient describes them and find the right homeopathic remedy, which matches these symptoms. This often applies in chronic fatigue syndrome or conditions, which are termed psychosomatic.
I often recommend Homeopathy alongside conventional treatments to assist healing after accidents, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy etc.
Homeopathy has a lot to offer in Autism Spectrum Disorders such as Asperger Syndrome and ADHD, where conventional medicine is very limited.
