Principles and Practice

Homeopathy works with the natural healing systems of the body. Your symptoms are never the problem, they are part of the solution.  When your health begins to suffer your body will attempt to make a correction.  That attempt to correct is often experienced as a symptom.

Homeopathy works with your symptoms not against them.  When you have a cold with a cough, it means your body is trying to rid itself of unwanted material from the lungs.  Surpressing the cough may make you feel a little better, but it will intefere with the ability of your body to cleanse itself.

The concepts of homeopathy were concieved when it was observed that particular substances will produce a particular set of symptoms in an individual.  As we already discussed, symptoms are a representation of the body activating a healing system to rid it self of the problem. Homeopathy holds the concept that giving a substance that produces the same symptoms will help to stimulate the needed healing system.  This is known as "The Law of Similars" also called "like cures like".

Homeopathy uses remedies that are comprised of substances which have been diluted. A particular remedy is prescribed by matching the symptom profile of a given substance with the current symptoms being presented in an individual.  When giving the body a particular substance it will help to activiate a particular healing pathway, the same pathway that is already active, thus it acts as an aid to the body's natural healing ability.

The practice of homepathy is over 200 years old and the effectiveness has been demonstrated in both human and animal studies.

The popularity of homeopathy is growing tremendously today.  It is used by a significant percentage of the European population and the use in North America continues to climb.
