| Homeopathy
is a natural and effective scientific system of mind-body-spirit
integrative healing. This holistic approach to medicine takes
a wider view of illness, cause of disease, and the ways in which
people express their illnesses individually. Homeopathy was
originated in Germany in 1796 by a German physician, Samuel
Hahnemann. Due to its success, homeopathy is widely practiced
all around the world. Mahatma Gandhi, Father of India, and ardent
follower of homeopathy said, “Homeopathy effectively helps
a larger percentage of people than any other science, and is
beyond doubt the safest and most economical form of health care.”
The
homeopathic approach recognizes the unique way each person
reacts to illness as an expression of disharmony at the vital
force level (energy level). Physical as well as mental and
emotional signs and symptoms of disease, specific to each
person, are recognized as attempts on the part of the body
to heal itself. These signs and symptoms manifest themselves
because the body has been unable to restore balance from its
inner resources and needs help. Homeopathy works by enhancing
the body’s natural ability to heal itself. A single,
carefully chosen homeopathic remedy offers the help needed
to restore a state of balance and well-being.
Homeopathic
consultation involves an interview in which the data of physical,
mental and emotional symptoms along with medical history is
collected. This data is then analyzed and evaluated to understand
the essence of the imbalanced state of the individual. This
process leads the homeopath to find the specific remedy for
the individual.
Homeopathic
remedies come from a wide variety of sources such as plants,
minerals and animals. There are over 2500 homeopathic remedies
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and are required
to meet the standards of Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the
United States.
Homeopathy,
the medicine for the 21st century, offers a method of achieving
and maintaining vibrant health, improving one’s sense
of well being, reaching one’s full potential, and preventing
illness.
