What is Homeopathy?
Hippocrates said, "A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession and learn how to treat his illnesses by his own judgment."
In our classes, particularly Homeopathy Level 1, you’ll learn first hand that homeopathy is a time tested holistic and natural healing method. It treats the mind, body and spirit, taking your mental/emotional, physical and spiritual symptoms into account and matching the appropriate remedy. Homeopathy was discovered over 200 years ago, by Dr. Samuel Hahnamann, however the basis of homeopathy has been around since ancient times.
Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, or like cures like, which states that the same substance that produces disease symptoms in a healthy person, when given in concentrated doses, can also cure a sick person with similar symptoms, when given in a very diluted form. The homeopath is always looking for the one substance that, in it’s raw form, would give you what you’ve got! For example, we’ve all experienced running eyes and burning nose as we peel onions in the kitchen. A homeopathic remedy, called Allium Cepa, made from the red onion, will effectively dry up similar allergy and cold symptoms.
"As to diseases make a habit of two things - to help, or at least, to do no harm" Hippocrates 460 BC-377 BC
Unlike western medicines, with their many side effects, in homeopathy less is more, and the remedies are so highly dilute that the treatment yields no side effects and is safe even for babies, animals and pregnant women. The body continually tries to heal itself, and homeopathy assists in this process. Homeopathy works energetically, as it stimulates your body’s own vital force and re-establishes balance in the entire being. It treats the whole person, rather than just the symptoms of disease. It can treat minor, acute problems to chronic and long-term ailments. Homeopathic remedies are prepared to modern high standards of safety and are recognized as complementary and alternative to other treatments and medicines.
