What is Health?

Health is Freedom

Health is not just the absence of disease. Health is freedom from any restriction that is stopping you from doing what you want and achieving the life you want. When we are free of restrictions, nothing is standing in the way of a joyful life, in which we fulfill our potential. Imagine a tree in the wind. Over time a constant wind will alter a tree’s growth pattern and the tree will adapt by growing crookedly. If we are the tree in this scenario, stressors, and restrictions are the wind, and they affect our development, health, and vitality. When the restrictions are removed, we can grow straight and true, achieving our full potential for optimum health. The goal of homeopathic treatment is to remove restrictions in all areas of a person’s life. By treating the whole person, we can treat someone’s mental and physical health with one treatment plan. This is what makes homeopathy unique.

What is Homeopathy?

A Unique System of Medicine

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses remedies made from natural substances to stimulate the body’s innate ability to heal itself, restoring the body to optimal function and vitality. Homeopathy treats the whole person, both physical and emotional. It has the potential to heal both chronic and acute ailments, ranging from depression, hyperactivity and anxiety to sore throats, food poisoning and morning sickness. Homeopathic remedies are safe, gentle and effective and suitable for all ages. Homeopathy is healthcare for a lifetime of wellness.

More details

Homeopathy was developed over 200 years ago by a German chemist and physician named Samuel Hahnemann. He based the system of homeopathy on a long-established law of cure that states “like cures like.” Simply put, this means a substance that creates symptoms in a healthy person will cure the same symptoms in a person who is sick.

For example, the remedy Apis is made from a bee and is very effective, on an acute level, in treating bee stings and sting-like symptoms. It is very common to get redness and swelling with burning, stinging pain from a bee-sting, so it follows homeopathic principles that the remedy Apis cures those same symptoms (“like cures like”). If you have redness, swelling and burning, stinging pains, from any cause, administering Apis will remove the symptoms, rendering you pain-free and causing the redness and swelling to disappear. Apis is a common remedy for sore throats, allergic reactions and cystitis – when Apis-like symptoms are present. On a deeper level, Apis also treats a deep mental picture of restlessness, busyness, jealousy and being hard to please (imagine a queen bee). A remedy’s ability to treat myriad symptoms on many levels is truly elegant. Matching a client’s symptoms to a specific remedy’s curative powers is the heart of homeopathic practice.

Homeopaths treat clients with an open mind, respect and compassion, a state we call the “unprejudiced observer.” This creates a safe and nurturing environment and forges the foundation of a trusting relationship between client and practitioner. Homeopaths are keenly interested in all areas of a clients’ life and history; physical, mental, and emotional. We ask for detailed descriptions of all symptoms, past and present, and then go further, thinking deeply about why a person acts the way they do, what is the pattern of their life, and what restrictions are present. After careful analysis, a homeopathic remedy is selected that shares a pattern that has a very close similarity to the client’s state. This is called the “simillimum,” it is the most similar remedy for each person. Like the bee remedy acting on the sting-like symptom, this specifically chosen remedy will remove unwanted symptoms and restore health and vitality.

All of us are born with an innately intelligent and sophisticated system to keep the body balanced and healthy. Homeopathic remedies act as a catalyst to stimulate this intuitive intelligence, what we call the vital force, to balance and strengthen the body, to keep it healthy over the long term, and to resist further disease.

In his book, the “Organon”, Hahnemann’s initial statement is that the homeopath’s “highest and only calling is to make the sick healthy, to cure.” This is the cornerstone of the homeopathic practice. By bringing together our knowledge of a person through compassionate observation and dialogue and our knowledge of remedies through study, homeopaths are able to choose an appropriate remedy that will stimulate the body’s innate intelligence and allow it to bring about healing, restoring health from the deepest level.
