Homeopathy Explained
Homeopathy is a scientifically based holistic system of medicine that is a popular health choice in Australia and worldwide because of its effectiveness, safety and low cost. Homeopathy works naturally to activate and boost the body's own inner ability for self-healing. Very dramatic and long lasting improvement and relief is seen in a wide variety of illnesses including diseases traditionally called chronic or incurable.
Many of the fundamental ideas and principles of Homeopathy may be quite different than those to which you are accustomed. It isn't necessary to fully understand Homeopathy for it to work for you, just as it isn't necessary to fully understand or believe in x-rays in order to have a picture produced.
The goal of treatment with Homeopathy is freedom. Freedom on the physical level means a sense of well-being, vitality, and symptom-free living. On the emotional level, it means joyful, satisfying relationships with your family, society, and yourself. On the mental level, freedom results in positive, creative expression and contribution through a career, service or the arts.
Homeopathy views the human being as a dynamic, responsive, and health-oriented organism which expresses itself in a physical, emotional, and mental way. The sum of these expressions (physical, emotional and mental) constitutes the whole person. As a unified being, each one can and does affect the others. For example, we all have experienced how our emotions can affect us physically or how our physical health can impact our moods. Homeopathy looks at us in this comprehensive way, taking into consideration symptoms and information from all three levels in its treatment plan.
To evaluate the whole person, Homeopathy takes a very broad view of the term "symptom". To a Homeopath, a symptom means any characteristic from any of your three levels. Therefore, symptoms may include: your physical complaints; your emotions, thoughts, reactions to stress or weather conditions, your sleep patterns, food preferences, childhood experiences; your family, social and work experiences as well as other important areas. In cases of chronic disease, the first consultation usually takes one and a half hours to collect enough information from all of these areas before the proper prescription can be made. This individualisation is a key feature of Homeopathy. It is often surprising to new patients to see how much attention the Homeopath gives to unexplained and annoying symptoms that have persisted for so long.
How does Homeopathy lead to such dramatic healing?
Prescribing is based on a biologic principle called the Law of Similars that states: whenever you give a healthy person a substance, a certain plant or mineral for instance, very distinct symptoms will be produced. Whenever a Homeopath sees that same group of symptoms in a sick person, then that same substance (in homeopathic form) will give what is required for the individual to return to a healthy, balanced state. In the beginning this concept can be so unfamiliar to people that it may sound amazing. Nonetheless, it is a fact of nature that has been well demonstrated and used in healing for centuries.
