What is homoeopathy?

Homeopathy is a unique and effective 200-year-old system of medicine that uses extremely minute doses of natural substances to stimulate healing. Remedies are non-suppressive, nontoxic, gentle and inexpensive and can be used safely by the very young, the very old, and even pets. Patients receiving treatment often see improvement physically, mentally and emotionally. Chronic diseases and severe acute conditions that fail to improve through conventional medical treatment often respond well to homeopathy. All homeopathic medicines are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. The founder of homeopathy, Samuel Hahnemann, discovered a new system of medicine, in which a drug and a disease that produce similar symptoms cancel each other out in some way, thereby restoring the patient to health. He described this phenomenon as “like can cure like.” He stated, “One should imitate nature which at times heals the chronic illness by another additional one. One should apply in the disease to be healed, particularly if it is chronic, that remedy which is able to stimulate another artificially produced disease as similar as possible and the former will be healed.” The theory is that two substances of the same type cannot live within the body at the same time, consequently the substances of higher vibration will knock out the lower vibration of illness. We see this with the flu symptoms and the remedy Oscillococcinum, which can be picked up at almost any store. If the patient take the remedy within a few hours of its onset and takes the two additional doses every four hours, it will usually knock out the flu. Why? Because it is made from ducks, and birds have a tendency to carry numerous diseases. A good homeopath can help evaluate your symptoms whether they are chronic, acute or genetic and help administer a remedy that is unique to your individual case.
