What is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a natural medical science based on the Law of Similars. This law has been verified experimentally and clinically for the last 200 years. Homeopathy is based on the works of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, whose writings reach back to Germany in 1790. Hahnemanns’ philosophy of “LIKE CURES LIKE” proposed that the body, stimulated by minute doses of specific medicines, produced effective self-healing responses.

The term homeopathy comes from the Greek words homois (similar) and pathos (suffering or sickness). Homeopathic medicine uses various plants, mineral or animal sources in small, safe doses called “remedies” to stimulate the natural defenses in a sick person or animal. Homeopathic medicine uses very In-depth case taking, and assesses how the patient is experiencing the disease, not just the disease itself.

The simillimum is the homeopathic remedy that creates certain symptoms in a healthy person, and can cure those symptoms in a sick person. A homeopath will give a remedy that mimics the sick persons symptoms, and thus strengthens the body’s ability to respond, and if done correctly lasting cure will result.

Classical homeopathy is a very pure science and is practiced on animals and humans alike and can have wonderful results. It is a very powerful and safe therapy and is used to successfully treat a wide variety of disorders.

How Homeopathic Remedies Work

Homeopathic Remedies work by stimulating the body’s own defense or immune response. These remedies work gently and effectively at stimulating our own inner healing response. Homeopathic Philpot strongly relies on realizing the importance of the bodies ‘intelligence’ to heal itself. After you or your practitioner has chosen the correct remedy that match your symptoms the remedy is given in either a dry dose (dissolving the medicated tablets under the tongue) or in a water based solution. This remedy then acts to reinforce the bodies own direction of healing.
