Homeopathy

Homeopathy focuses on healing your body rather than just treating your symptoms. Homeopathic doctors understand that all systems in the body are interrelated and work together to promote health. When the body has the nutrients it needs, it can heal itself. Homeopathic medicine has three defining principles.

Law of Similars – The Law of Similars states that substances that produce the same symptoms in a healthy person can help heal a sick person. For example, when you chop onions, your eyes typically water, and your nose runs. According to this law, a homeopathic remedy for a runny nose would be a decongestant, much like an onion. In this instance, Allium Cepa may be recommended.

Law of the Minimal Doses – The Law of Minimal Doses states that homeopathic medicines are more effective when diluted and shaken vigorously. The advantage of minimal doses is that they reduce unwanted side effects while providing the body with the medicine it needs to heal itself.

Law of Individualized Medications and Single Remedies – The law of Individualized Medications and Single Remedies states that single remedies help heal the patient from the inside out. A person’s whole self, including temperament, emotional health, personality, and physical responses, is considered when determining the proper ingredients to use in the prescribed remedy.
