Homeopathy

Homeopathy

A deeper approach to healing the body and mind

​

A homeopathic practitioner is trained to select a remedy that addresses specific symptoms and an individual’s overall health picture. Conventional treatments often just suppress symptoms, so the problems keep coming back. But symptoms are the body’s way of letting you know that something isn’t right.  Homeopathy is a 200 year old system that relieves suffering without the potential toxic side and after affects of pharmaceuticals. As a result, homeopathy addresses the underlying conditions that are causing the symptoms, so healing is lasting.

 

A classical system of healing

​

I practice by the principles of classical homeopathy, which means:

  • Treating the whole person, not a single symptom.

  • Individualizing the treatment.

  • Prescribing one remedy at a time, at a minimum dose.

​

An approach that works!

​

Homeopathy is used by millions of people worldwide. International market research company, Global TGI, found large numbers of people throughout the world who “trust in homeopathy.”  Trust in this system of natural medicine was found in 64% of people in India, 58% Brazil, 53%  Chile, 49% Saudi Arabia, 49% United Arab Emirates, 40% France, 35% South Africa, 28% Russia, 27%  Germany, 25% Argentina, 18% of America, and 15% Great Britain.

​

Homeopathy has been healing people in Europe and India for more than a hundred years. Homeopathic medicine is the leading “alternative” treatment used by physicians in Europe and growing numbers of the citizenry. Pharmacies in France and Germany routinely provide homeopathic remedies, and the physician to the British royal family is a homeopathic doctor.

​

The prestigious World Health Organization has deemed France to have the best health care in the world. According to a recent survey published in the respected medical journal, Family Practice, 95% of French pediatricians, dermatologists, and general practitioners use homeopathic medicines. Further, 43% of all French health and medical professionals prescribed at least one homeopathic medicine in a 12-month period. These statistics were gathered from the government’s prescription records, making this data precise and accurate.

​

In the United States, more and more people are now turning to homeopathy. The effectiveness of homeopathy has also been seen in many scientific studies published in respected journals including Pediatrics, Chest, Rheumatology, The Lancet, and others.

Remedies

Each homeopathic remedy contains a nano dose (tiny amount) of a natural plant, animal, or mineral substance. The basis of homeopathy is that very small amounts of a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person can treat the same symptoms in an ill person. The remedy that matches the symptoms tweaks the body’s vital force so it can heal itself.

​

Safe, Gentle and Effective

  • Free of toxic side effects

  • Non-addictive

  • Minimum dose (as in many things, less is more)

  • Not vitamins, mineral supplements, or herbal preparations

  • Green medicine: homeopathic remedies don’t harm the planet

How remedies are made

All homeopathic remedies are prepared in a homeopathic pharmacy to insure consistent quality. Remedies are reviewed for safety and effectiveness by the FDA.

​

Homeopathic remedies must comply with FDA labeling requirements (21 CFR §201), must be manufactured in accordance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR §210 and §211), must register with the FDA, and comply with FDA inspections.

If you get the flu

Our bodies have developed sophisticated responses to both old and new infections and stresses. To support your body’s healing:

  • Rest, stay home and sleep as much as possible.

  • Hydrate – water is best along with carbohydrate-rich fruit and vegetable juices.

  • Avoid fever reducing medications. Fever is an important, even vital, defense against infection. Let fever do its’ work.

  • Hot epsom salt baths. The heat helps you sweat, which is a detoxification pathway.

  • Use a neti pot to facilitate nasal irrigation. It cleans out your sinuses and helps you get unstuffed. Just fill with distilled water and a pinch of sea salt.

  • Contact your homeopath. Homeopathy has been used with a great degree of success in influenza and other epidemics for 200 years.  In the 1918 flu pandemic, homeopaths reported around 1% mortality in their cases, while conventional doctors were losing 30% of their patients.

​

Prevention is the best medicine

  • Contact me if you are interested in homeopathy for flu prevention. This a simple protocol that is best administered before the flu season starts.

  • Stay out of crowds.

  • Wash hands, friction and hot water are sufficient, there is no need to use anti-bacterial soap.

  • Avoid touching eyes.

  • Practice good self care: sleep, diet, exercise

  • Vitamin D has been well documented to increase the production of over 200 anti-microbial peptides that fight infection.

  • Eliminate sugar from your diet as that will impair your immune response.

  • Homeopathic constitutional care helps to close the door to susceptibility.

Other resources

Minnesota Homeopathic Association collects and shares key symptoms of the seasonal flu as it emerges in Minnesota.  This information is used to guide us toward the “genus epidemicus” — a range of indicated remedies for a particular epidemic. The process for doing this is described in detail by esteemed homeopaths Samuel Hahnemann and James Tyler Kent.

​

Another great resource is located online at http://flusolution.net. This educational site has information on the most commonly used homeopathic remedies, as well as research and history of the success of homeopathy in epidemics.

Influenza

“Things can only be made easy by an immense amount of hard work, and if you do the drudgery in the beginning of an epidemic, the prescribing for your cases will be rapid, and you will find your remedies abort cases of sickness”.
