What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is  a safe, effective, and particular type of medicine, that is unlike any other and has a two-hundred year track record. It’s philosophy of treatment is different than conventional medicine and it’s also different than a lot of other natural or alternative medicines.


Whereas conventional medicine, and other natural medicines seek to combat or suppress symptoms, homeopathy seeks to stimulate or awaken an aspect of you that is responsible for keeping you alive and in perfect functional balance. 


How does it approach doing this? It utilizes the universal principle of ‘Like cures like’ or ‘Similia Similibus Curentur’ in Latin. This principle states that if a substance in a material dose causes symptoms or characteristics in a healthy person, it will cure these symptoms in a sick person, if you use a very, very, small dose. This has been proven to be true multiple times both in conventional medicine (though rarely used) and homeopathic medicine. 


Additionally, homeopathy seeks to address any hereditary or inherent predisposition that led you to present such symptoms, when others in the same environment and exposed to the same things don’t get these symptoms. 


Homeopathy can be made from literally any substance. Most of the time its made from natural substances, but they are prepared in a particular way which makes them different from supplements and herbs. 


It was discovered by the founder of homeopathy, Dr. Christian Frederich Samuel Hahnemann, that if you dilute a substance and vigorously stimulate it by pounding the solution on a semi-hard surface, it becomes a much, much, more effective and powerful medicine. 


This type of ‘dilution preparation’ was substantiated by the respected French physician and immunologist Jacques Benvesiste who tested highly diluted doses of an antibody on a type of white blood cell called basophils. The research proved that the immunoglobulin antibody (IgE) continued to react when exposed to an antigen even after being repeatedly diluted in water. This work, was replicated at four different universities.


Homeopathy works according to principles of quantum physics. Quantum physics is not well understood and neither is homeopathy. In the Western world research is highly valued, even though it is easy to be misled and manipulated with research. And, in the West research on homeopathy is very poorly funded for political and other reasons. Interestingly research on Homeopathy is prevalent in India, where homeopathy is a component of their medical system and can be found here: https://www.ijrh.org/


In homeopathy acute episodes of illness such as colds, flus, sprained ankles, burns, etc., are relatively easy to address. More chronic conditions like psoriasis, arthritis, diabetes, etc.,  require a different, well thought out plan.  Also, younger people are easier to treat than older people simply because they have less exposure to toxins, chemical medicines, life stressors, and so on.


In this day and age where diseases have become more antibiotic resistant. And, medicine rarely cures our illnesses, it only keeps them at bay and with the consequence of a list of unwanted side effects. 

What not give homeopathy a try? You have very little to lose and a whole lot to gain, in my opinion. With very little information you can try it yourself for acute illness. You will see for yourself first hand, what homeopathy is capable of. I would love to hear about your experiences!
