What is Homeopathy?
Homeopathy seeks to restore physical, mental, and emotional health by gently and safely strengthening the patient's innate ability to heal. My goal is to increase the patient's resistance and lower their susceptibility to illness in the least invasive, most rapid and permanent manner possible.
Founded upon the principle "like cures like," homeopathy works to encourage optimal health for the whole person. Embracing the principles of nature and of natural healing found in other ancient therapeutics, homeopathy seeks to re-establish both balance and harmony to an individual's health.Homeopathy is different in approach from most conventional medical care systems. Often, we visit a medical doctor for a specific disease or problem hoping that a medicine will be prescribed to remove those symptoms. However, from the holistic medical point of view, symptoms are there for a reason and if the underlying cause remains, the problem will return.
In homeopathy, a remedy is given and then allowed to act, with a follow-up visit conducted 4-6 weeks after the initial remedy is administered. I respect the body's intelligence to express symptoms, and its innate ability to heal; however, there are times when homeopathic medicine and the care of a good homeopath will better strengthen the body's defenses and allow healing to occur naturally.
When a patient comes to see me, my intention is to truly appreciate and consider the intricacies of their medical concerns as well as to understand who they are and how they are in the world. As they tell their story I listen attentively, with reflection and compassion.
Once I feel I understand the patient and the thematic threads that run through their physical and mental-emotional symptoms, I look for a remedy that will heal. The study and research for a good homeopathic remedy may take an hour or longer, but it is through this in depth analysis of both the patient and the disease through which I recognize the patient's remedy.
