HOMEOPATHY

Contrary to popular belief, illness or disease as we know it does serve a purpose. Illness expressed through symptoms is the body’s way of announcing to us that we have neglected or not taken proper care of it and that it needs rest or rebalancing.

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is based on the Law of Similars “Similia Similibus Curentur”. While we don’t treat the disease, we treat the whole person and those signs and symptoms that are causing a person discomfort or stress are important to a homeopath in the selection of the correct remedy. Just as important are a person’s mental and emotional states.

Unlike allopathic medicine which suppresses symptoms, we teach our patients to listen and pay close attention to their body and realize that their expressions of pain are as unique to an individual as is their body type and coloring.

As much as is written about Homeopathy, it still surprises me when I meet people and they have no idea what it is, when up until as recently as the 1970’s this system of medicine was regulated and widely practiced in Ontario.

People who are sensitive or have strong reactions to medicine would do well to look into homeopathic treatment as it is safe, gentle and effective.

Homeopathic remedies are made of substances derived from either the plant, animal or mineral kingdoms and are then potentized and are prescribed according to the patient’s state or condition.

In our increasingly toxic and stressful environment, it’s no surprise that more people are affected by chronic conditions such as allergies, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, depression, fibromyalgia, diabetes, hypertension and cancer. Even if a person does all the right things, one has to do no more than simply leave their house to be exposed to idling cars pumping carcinogens into the air we breath. 

Cases of autism are increasing at alarming rates. Despite the findings that this is a genetic disease, the gene or genes affected remain unknown. If treated early Autistic children show remarkable results with homeopathic treatment.  Yet in spite of this, many go without homeopathic treatment because people are unaware of the results of treatment. 

I can tell you from personal experience that nothing is more rewarding than hearing a child who did not speak, suddenly begin talking or one who could not bear to be touched, look forward to going to school where there is interaction with others. 

Young girls are starving themselves at earlier ages so they can identify with what the media shows us, yet obesity in adolescents is on the rise.

Despite our desire to be healthy and look good we’re often reluctant to spend money on anything that doesn’t have a tangible value to it, yet what is more valuable than our health?
