The word homeopathy stems from the Greek 'homoios', meaning similar and 'pathos', meaning suffering.
Homeopathy is based on the Law of Similars, which states that like cures like. Sometimes people use
homeopathically prepared remedies in a manner that is not actually
homeopathic (similar). To work
correctly, the remedy must be carefully chosen to match the expression of the whole person. A remedy is not selected simply
to treat an isolated symptom or a named disease.
Homeopathic
remedies are made from thousands of different substances in the plant,
animal, and mineral kingdoms. Following a specific, FDA
stipulated, process of dilution and succussion known as potentization,
makes them gentle yet powerful when used according to the law of
similars.
The process of potentization brings about an energetic change that gives the
substance a deeper curative effect while removing all chance
of chemical toxicity, allowing the homeopathic use of many substances
that would otherwise not be safe to take as medicine.
Homeopathy
is a non-toxic system used to promote healing on every level. It is
practiced by qualified homeopaths in many regions of the world,
including Europe, Asia, India, the United Kingdom, and the United
States. Information on the use of over three thousand remedies has been
collected for more than two centuries through research studies known as
“provings,” as well as documented clinical cases and recent scientific
trials.
Used
correctly, homeopathic remedies are safe for infants, pregnant women,
and animals. And when a baby with colic or a dog with
diarrhea are quickly helped with homeopathy, you know there is no
"placebo effect" involved!
