What
Is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed
by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann in the early 1800s.
It uses medicines made primarily from natural substances (mostly
herbs, also minerals) which have been diluted so many times
that the original remedy substance is no longer present. Instead,
its vibrational pattern has been imprinted on the water it was
dissolved in. It is this energetic imprint which the remedy
imparts to your body’s Vital Force or chi (healing energy),
stimulating it to react against your health condition and push
it out of the body for good.
As an energy-based healing system, homeopathy has many advantages
over conventional medicine. There are no side effects or adverse
reactions; it stimulates and strengthens the body’s healing
energy, instead of weakening it and lowering the immune system;
it is especially well-suited for people who are extremely sensitive
(to medications, environmental toxins, etc.); it can address
mental and emotional as well as physical symptoms; the remedies
are inexpensive and do not need to be taken indefinitely.
What
Is It Good For?
Homeopathy is good for a wide variety of conditions in people
of all ages, from newborns to the elderly, and even for pets.
(The fact that it works in infants and pets tends to dispel
the notion of the placebo effect!)
And it works for a wide variety of conditions, whether acute
(such as colds, flu, bee stings, cuts, bruises) or chronic
(arthritis, allergies, hypothyroidism). The problem may be
physical or mental (such as learning disabilities in the young
or loss of memory in the elderly), emotional (depression,
anxiety, low self-esteem), behavioral (addictive behaviors,
ODD) or energetic (hyperactivity, fatigue).
It works especially well when there is a strong mind-body
component (such as in stress-related conditions like ulcerative
colitis or Crohn’s disease, or in women’s issues
like menopause). It also works well for any condition when
there is a clear “Never Well Since”, in other
words when the patient can say “I’ve never really
felt the same since my mother died [or my husband left me,
my business partner betrayed me, etc].”
However,
it can work well in many conditions when these factors are
not a part of the picture. And many times the homeopathic
process helps people discover such connections between their
emotions, their life-traumas, and their symptoms.
